Support Walk
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 27. A group of nine supporting New Zealand involvement in Vietnam left Auckland at 11.30 a.m. today to walk to Wellington. The party included five who intend to go all the way and four others who were starting them off. The march is organised by a former member of the United States Marine Corps, Mr C. Titman, of Brown’s Bay, on behalf of the Friends of Vietnam Society. With him are his wife and children, Themus, aged four, and Hugo, aged five. The children are being carried on a handcart containing paper South Vietnamese flags which will be sold to raise funds for the Late Sergeant Grigg Vietnamese Orphans’ Appeal. The 37 who left Auckland yesterday protesting against New Zealand involvement in Vietnam, unemployment and the possibility of conscription reached Huntly today.
