‘Revealing’ calendar

PA Dunedin A calendar published in Dunedin to raise money for legal expenses for members of HART may have backfired badly against the antitour protesters.. An upset anti-tour person telephoned the publisher, Mr Trevor Reeves, asking him to withdraw the calendar because the police in Auckland were making arrests after studying the photographs. Mr Reeves,'"of Mediaprint Services, Ltd, said the calendar had been in circulation for two weeks and if the police were making arrests from the photographs, withdrawing the calendar now would not make any difference. However, he said it had been decided hot to send any further copies to Auckland in the meantime so that the situation could be reviewed. The black-and-white calendar is called “Days of Rage,” and depicts various scenes of protesters and the police in action.

It is selling for $5 a copy and 2000 have been printed. Proceeds from the sales are going to the HART legal fund. Mr Reeves said an order for sales in Australia had. been signed, and the com-

pany was seeking turther export orders in Commonwealth African countries.

He said he had no specific evidence that photographs in the calendar had actually led to arrests, but he said some of the photographs had come from Auckland.
