The Broadcast of Last Night Englishman's Fate
We are starting today on a Safe- ty First campaign througout the Colony the importance of which cannot be too strongly emphasized: The provision of good motor roads has resulted in the develop-; ment of outlying residential areas which in their turn have resulted in an extraordinary increase of transport; motor cars, both pri- vate and public; buses, trams and lorries have become essential to the Colony's daily life. At present
we have an average of three street accidents a day: and an appeal is made for the co-operation of all sections of the community in an effort to assist in making our roads safer. Co-operation is the international watchword of the day and our progress de- accident on it. pends hinders somebody's business or spoils sorriebody's pleasure and brings misery in its train to the Injured person at least.
