This Day in History: 1933-04-17
A sparse crowd attended the talk on safety education given at the PTA meeting by Miss Idabelle Stevenson. Among the points which she made were that she supported Motor Commissioner Hoffman’s plan for making driving instruction a school subject. 42% of all accidents, she said, involved drivers who were less than 21 years of age. She suggested that pins should be inserted in the corks of poison bottles to prevent their being mistaken for other things in the dark. Gasoline, she said, should never be used as a cleaning fluid in the home. (Bristow)
