SCHOOL PATROLS’ VALUE
Praise By Transport Commissioner (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, December 4. School patrols were a valuable part of New Zealand’s road safety team, said the Commissioner of Transport (Mr H. B. Smith) at the annual convention of school patrols in Lower Hutt. To 460 children from schools in the Hutt Valley, Wainui-o-mata, Muritai, Levin, Otaki and Shannon he said: “You are valuable members of that team.” As proof of the team’s value, he added, deaths of children so far this year totalled 11 —six fewer than at the same time in 1958. Mr Smith told the children that a child-pedestrian’s “danger years” were from five to seven, the most dangerous cycling years were from 11 to 15. Friday is the week’s most dangerous day and the most dangerous hours each day are from 3 to 6 p.m.
