LONG WALKING TOUR
SPIRITS BAY TO BLUFF AUCKLAND WOMAN'S PLANS Although she is 52 years of age and a grandmother, Mrs. Kitty O Sullivan, of Auckland, is shortly to make a walking tour through New Zealand from Pandora Camp, Spirits Bay, to Bluff, a distance of about 1200 miles.
Mrs. O'Sullivan stated last evening that she intended to follow the same route as that, taken by Miss Esther James last year, when she walked through the Dominion in the interests of New Zealandmade goods. While on her tour Mis. O'Sullivan, who calls herself "Ihc Modern Grandmother," will lecture to women on physical culture and her method of weight reduction without recourse to or the use of drugs. She will wear only New Zealand manufactured clothing. Although the journey will be made in easy stages, she hopes to set a new record for women in actual walking time. Mrs. O'Sullivan will be a passenger in Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's monoplano tho Southern Cross on its flight to Whangarei on Wednesday. She will proceed overland to Spirits Bay and will start on her tour as soon as practicable.
