IT was announced in the last issue of The Lifeboat that the Duchess of Sutherland, President of the Ladies' Life-boat Guild, had issued an invitation to each Guild to nominate two of its members, the President or Chairman and the Honorary Secretary, to become members of the General Council of the Guild. A number of Guilds have sent in the names of their representatives since that issue, with the list of the Council, appeared, and these new members are given below.

The Duchess has also sent an invitation to join the Council to all ladies who are Honorary Secretaries of Branches, where there are, at present, no Guilds,as she feels sure that membership of the Council will be a real help to them in their work of interesting other ladies in the Life-boat Service. The names of those who have accepted this invitation are also included in the list below. The full list of names is published in the Annual Report.

We have also much pleasure in announcing that the Lady Florence Pery, who is Vice-Chairman of the London Women's Committee, has accepted' the invitation of the Committee of Management to become the Honorary Secretary of the whole Guild.BRANCH.
