MUNICH GAMES
Car stickers to be sold “The Press’* Special Service WELLINGTON. A national fund-raising scheme, involving 80,000 car stickers, should ensure that sports bodies will not have to contribute any money towards sending their representatives to next year’s Munich Olympic Games. The scheme, which will be launched in August, was announced at a meeting of the New Zealand Olympic and British Commonewalth Games Association last night ‘Twenty-four competitors in category A have already been provided for in our budget. The scheme will be devoted entirely for category B competitors.” said the chairman (Mr C. L. Cross). “The thing about the scheme is its mass approach and its mass appeal. I anticipate that if everyone gets behind it with
100 per cent effort, it will cost national associations nothing to send their competitors to Munich.”
The car stickers will sell at $1 each, of which 75c will go to the N.Z.0.8.C.G.A. and 25c to national associations. Each group of 10,000 stickers will carry a I prize of $lOO and 10 prizes of 110.
