flews of the Week

ANGEROUS as is motor traffie to children in the New Zealand cities. it does not comnare with the menace in the United States where hundreds of youngsters are knocked down hr motor-cars every year. Owing to the system of living in flats in the big American cities. the children are compelled to make the strests their playgrounds. In Chicago, "Unele Bob Wilson." who bronadeasts from — station KYW. has a "Kerb is the Limit" radio elub for children listeners, He braadeasts every evening in the week excepting Sundays, and he eonstantly warns children -against the danger of rushing out on to the roads when nlaring in the streets. Already 435,000 juveniles have joined the "Kerb is the Limit" Club. THE motor-cars passing the 2YA4 studios while Hare Hongi was delivering his address greatly disturbed the old gentlemar, and he paused to protest on more than one occasion. Unfortunately a broadcast studio is best situated. for general convenience, in as central a nosition as possible. The city of Wellirgton is nowadays thickly congested with motor traffic, and no street in the metropolitan down-town area is free from almost continuous motor traffic. The 2YA studios are located on a corner, and the honking of motor horns as the cars reach the corner is almost incessant. It is a pity, but it is wnayoidable.
