AN EDUCATIONAL SERVICE

A motion picture which is creating considerable interest in the Auckland Province is a new Automobile Association road safety film entitled “Safe Ways,” which is being screened before audiences of children in the schools.

In its educational services extended to school children, the uniformed patrols of the Automobile Association (Auckland), Inc., regularly call at the schools and talk to the children regarding the safe way of crossing the road and the many dangers to which the youngsters are exposed. With its usual enterprise, tlie A.A. has produced its own film photographing in natural colour, local scenes with which the children are familiar. The film graphically explains how children can avoid being involved in an accident while walking along the roads going to or coming from schools. The Automobile Association’s special child safety instructor attends the screenings and comments according to the ago of the pupils while the film is being shown. Copies of tlie “Safe Ways” film, also produced in natural colour, have been supplied to southern automobile associations, and will be released in the schools in the Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa, Wanganui and Taranaki districts.
