Talks Today For Safer Highways

The road safety lecturers’ conference beginning in Brisbane to-day will view vertical magnetic boards used in demonstrating traffic problems. Objects such as cars and figures are movable on the boards, and do not fall off.

The conference is being attended by lecturers from all Australian States except Western Australia. It is being staged by the Australian Road Safety Council, and will continue until Friday in the Police Welfare Culb lecture room, Roma Street.

Discussions will centre on safety education of children.

“Terrific toll”

The State Transport Minister (Mr. Duggan) said last night that the adult was being educated through the child in road safety. A genuine emergency existed in the country in the terrific toll of the road.

Mr. Duggan will open the conference this morning.
