ROAD SAFETY
PROPAGANDA IN BRITAIN.
POST OFFICE GIVEN HUGE TASK. (United Press Association—Copyright). LONDON, July 22. The Post Office started to-day on the enormous task of distributing to every bouse in Great Britain a copy of the “highway code,” containing a simple, summary of rules for observance in the interest of road safety. The distribution of 15,000,000 copies cf the code, which is expected to take five days, is part of the intensive efforts of the Minister for Transport (Mr L. Hore-Belisha) to reduce the number of road accidents.
Other features of this weelUs campaign are the tour of a broadcasting van, the release of a road safety propaganda talking film, the display of 300,000 posters in London, and a broadcast address at the end of the week by the Minister for Transport himself.—British Official Wireless.
