+FOR THE SENIOR RESIDENTS OF HONG KONG, I AM SURE THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SEE PHOTOS OF LANDMARKS SUCH AS THE OLD HONG KONG HOTEL, THE QUEEN VICTORIA STATUE AT CHATER ROAD, THE PEDDER STREET CLOCK TOWER, THE OLD QUEEN'S COLLEGE AT HOLLYWOOD ROAD.

+THESE WOULD NO DOUBT STIR UP SOME NOSTALGIC FEELINGS AMONG THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN HONG KONG GROW UP TO WHAT IT IS TODAY, HE SAID.

YOUNG PEOPLE, HE SAID, COULD HAVE AN INSIGHT INTO THE WAY OF LIFE OF THEIR GRANDPARENTS, AS A BEDROOM SETTING DATING BACK TO THE TURN OF THE CENTURY WAS RECREATED IN THE EXHIBITION GALLERY.

OTHER EXHIBITS ON DISPLAY INCLUDED THE TIME CAPSULE LAID IN 1934 BENEATH THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE NOW DEMOLISHED HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI BANK, THE BANK'S SHARE CERTIFICATES IN 1900, AND A $1 000 BANKNOTE BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED IN 1960 BUT NEVER ISSUED.

THE EXHIBITION IS OPEN DAILY FROM 9 AM TO 8 PM AT THE EXHIBITION GALLERY OF THE CITY HALL, SEVENTH FLOOR, HIGH BLOCK. ADMISSION IS FREE.

FIRST ROAD SAFETY COMPUTER GAME ON DISPLAY

****

A PILOT COMPUTER PROGRAMME HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ENABLE ITS USERS TO LEARN TRAFFIC SIGNS AND ROAD SAFETY MESSAGES WHILE PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES.

THIS PROGRAMME, DESIGNED BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL, WILL BE ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS AT A ROAD SAFETY DISPLAY TO BE HELD ON SATURDAY (NOVEMBER 12) AT THE QUEEN ELIZABETH STADIUM AND IN THE NEARBY MORRISON HILL TEMPORARY PLEASURE GROUND.

MR ROGER BRACEY, HEAD OF MATHEMATICS AT ST. GEORGE'S SCHOOL, SAID THAT IT WAS DESIGNED BY A GROUP OF FORM 5 STUDENTS AS A CLASS PROJECT.

THE ORIGINAL AIM WAS TO PRODUCE A PROGRAMME WHICH WOULD ENABLE CHILDREN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAFFIC SIGNS, AND HE WAS GLAD THE IDEA COULD NOW BE ADOPTED AS A COMMUNITY SERVICE TO SPREAD THE ROAD SAFETY MESSAGE, HE SAID.

PLAYERS OF THE COMPUTER GAME HAVE FIRST TO IDENTIFY A NUMBER OF TRAFFIC SIGNS BEFORE THEY CAN PLAY A GAME, THE ESSENCE OF WHICH IS +SAFETY COMES FIRST ON THE ROAD+.

OTHER ITEMS ON DISPLAY AT THIS SATURDAY'S ROAD SAFETY DISPLAY WILL INCLUDE A SEAT BELT CATAPULT, CARTOON CARDS ON DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS' RESPONSIBILITY ON THE ROAD, OUTSTANDING ENTRIES OF A ROAD SAFETY POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION AND EXHIBITS ON THE ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN HONG KONG.

THE ROAD SAFETY DISPLAY WILL BE OPEN FREE TO THE PUBLIC FROM 10 AM TO 4 PM.
