Show to help fight polio
A $2 million 1934 Grand Prix Alfa sports car and a new Ferrari Testarosa worth $445,000 are only two of the crowd enticers which will be at Addington Raceway for the Polio Plus Motorama ’B7. At a publicity function for the Christchurch West Rotary Club’s motor and leisure show, the convener, Mr Lawson Little, said that Motorama was proceeding well and about 40,000 people were expected to attend. All the profits from the event of December 4, 5 and 6 will be given to the Rotary International Po-
lloPlus campaign to fight poliomyelitis. Each $5 entrance free for adults would pay for the innoculation of 25 children, Mr Little said. It looked as though a total of $lOO,OOO could be within reach, he said. There will be about 85 exhibitors at the show, and displays include caravans, modern and vintage motor-cycles, and cars. Among the more unusual and Interesting sights will be a static display of a 1920 s garage, and Craig Adair with his Olympic trialist team
