Increasing support for the demonstration is coming from many areas both nationally and locally. At a meeting held in Bristol over the weekend, an ad hoc committee of support was. formed with activists from the local Labour Party Young Socialists, and other groups. It was decided to hold a demonstration in Bristol on Saturday October 21st, and to follow it up with a coach-load of supporters for the mobilisation in Trafalgar Square on the following day.. It is hoped that in view of the TUC resolution on Vietnam, the local Trades Council will give its support for these activities. A special Vietnam Student Committee has been set into motion by some of the students at the London School of Economics and a bulletin giving information on the mobilisation and the V.S.C. exhibition is already circulating. Other ad hoc committees that are already working are in Harringay, Walthamstow, and Hackney, also at the Islington committee for Peace in Vietnam's next meeting it is hoped that further support will be gained. The next meeting of this committee is on Monday 18th September at 34 Burgh Street at 8 o'clock, The Ad hoc Committee meets regularly each week at 49, Rivington Street E.C.2 on Tuesdays at 7.30 pem. It is hoped that any supporters that have strategic Places to set up posters, for example in their windows facing the road, will come to pick up material at the above address.

The exhibition is now at Aberdare (Glamorgan) where it is being shown by the local Young Socialists. It is being held at the Trades and Labour Hall, 39, Albert Street, Aberdare, and will be on until Saturday 15th September.
