Gladiator takes a break

One of our readers, K. J. Hughes, submitted this month’s touragram (on New Zealand) which has been rated by "Gladiator” as “very good indeed.” “Gladiator” also reports that he received a touragram from Pat Penrose, who last year won the Guthreys Travel special contest. The contest will close on October 29 and no entries will be opened until after that date. They will then be marked at random, the first six correct entrants

receiving gift vouchers from Whitcoulls. “The Press” will also award a special $lO cash prize for the neatest correct entry submitted by a school class.
