Balloons, blimp brouhaha
The first try scored by South . Island in its rugby league encounter with Auckland at the Show Grounds this afternoon will be greeted by more than just applause. Several hundred balloons filled with helium are to be launched by the code’s spon-
sor, New Zealand Industrial Gases. They are expected to stay aloft for about six hours.
Even supporters will be assisted to the match — the much bigger official N.Z.I.G. blimp will be stationed over the Show Grounds before the kick-off.
