Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :N Z athletes in the U K headlines. We hope the Government has arranged to cash-in on this situation. "I attribute my success to Arthur Lydiard and eating New Zealand cheese." "And while running in the marathon I shall use my spare time to hand out this pamphlet all the way." EEC unfair to N Z. "Confident wasn't he?" N Z first for mutton too. "Tourists visit beautiful fly-free New Zealand - all except Mangere that is." 23 Nov 1962

Four scenes involving New Zealand sportsmen and reporters, all surrounded by flies. The first shows a runner attributing his success to both coach Arthur Lydiard, and to N Z cheese, then under threat from the UK joining the EEC. The second shows an athlete ready to run and hand out a pamphlet 'E E C unfair to N Z'. The third shows an athlete winning a race. A banner streams from his back 'N Z first for mutton too'. The fourth shows reporters surrounding an athlete, promoting 'beautiful fly-free New Zealand - all except Mangere'. Probably refers to the Mangere midge problem of the period.
