JUST because he was walking along Holloway Road, N., recently with his aunt, whom he is visiting, 13-year- old Ronald Bicker, of Bournemouth, became the star of a "Safety First" film which will be shown at schools in all parts of the country.

The film was made by teachers attending the London Film School at Northern Polytechnic, Holloway Road, and Ronald, with 12 other chil-¦ dren who were in the street, was invited to take part in the film- ing.

He drove a one horse-power, petrol - driven, three-geared trainer car around the private car park of the Polytechnic, and gave all the correct driving | signals.

This was the first time he had been

in a driver's seat.

"I felt the breeze a bit when I let

out the throttle," he said.

The car's top speed is 10 miles on hour.

A Bund spokesman said the Ger- monk were leaving Canada because they could not endure the jeera of the anti-Nazie.
