Nicholson (Greytown), and Petersen (Upper Hutt) and No. 1 Patrol P. L. * Beere (of the A.A., Wairarapa), are to be in Carterton, tomorrow to give motorists and pedestrians d demonstration of the correct use of. the recently made pedestrian crossings which have been provided adjacent'to the Post Office in Carterton. There will no doubt be particular interest-taken by the public, of the actual safety crossings, especially in view of the fact that a neighbouring town refused z to entertain a similar -proposition, considering that the fast motor traffic'passing through, was not a menace to pedestrians. ..
