NO STREET DEATHS IN YEAR. Hartlepool, a town of more than 20,000 people, has not had a single fatal street accident in the past year, according to the annual report issued by the chief constable. There were only twenty accidents classified in all, he states, and ten of these were due to the carelessness of pedal cyclists. This freedom from serious accidents, he considers, is largely because of a system of giving regular “ Safety First ” lessons in schools. floreover, most of the school caretakers had been made special constables, with a special mission to take caro of children and warn them of dangers. Ho thinks that Hartlepool’s immunity is unequalled in the country.
