Cheers Tony,
It looked fairly obvious,
but I couldn't reconcile Fine arts and road safety.
Nice to have it confirmed.
PS Australia (or, rather, Perth) now has 50Kph in built up zones/suburban streets, ..wise move.
bring on the electric car.

Some info on the United party (label 1 and 2)

United Party (South Africa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United Party was South Africa's ruling political party between
1934 and 1948. It was formed by a merger of most of Prime Minister
Barry Hertzog's National Party with the rival South African Party of
Jan Smuts, plus the remnants of the Unionist Party. Its full name was
the United National South African Party, but it was generally called
the, "United Party." The party drew support from several different
parts of South African society, including English-speakers, Afrikaners
and 'Coloureds'.

Hertzog led the party until 1939. In that year, Hertzog refused to
commit South Africa to Britain's war effort against Nazi Germany. Many
Afrikaners who had fought in the Second Boer War were still alive, and
the atrocities committed by the British during that conflict were
fresh in their memory. Hertzog felt that siding with the former enemy
would be unacceptable to Afrikaners. Furthermore, he could see little
benefit for South Africa in taking part in a war that he saw as an
essentially European affair.

The majority of the United Party caucus were of a different mind,
however, and Hertzog resigned. Jan Smuts succeeded him and led the
party and the country throughout World War II and the immediate post-
war years.
[edit] Decline

Smuts and the United Party lost the 1948 election to the National
Party. It was never to hold power again. J.G.N. Strauss succeeded
Smuts in 1950, and was in turn replaced by Sir de Villiers Graaff in
1956 until 1977. Attrition characterized his leadership years, as the
party slowly declined because of electoral gerrymandering, changes to
South Africa's voting laws, including the removal of the 'Coloureds' -
South Africans of mixed ancestry, who had been staunch United Party
supporters - from the electoral rolls, and defections to other
parties.
