THE Institution is again issuing a Lifeboat Calendar for the forthcoming year. It feels that there is no better way of keeping the work of the Lifeboat Service continually before the public from the first day of the year to the last, and it hopes that many readers of The Lifeboat will buy this calendar not only for themselves but to send to their friends. We are calling attention to it now because each year Christmas preparations seem to begin earlier.

Those who wish to order calendars can do so at once, and they will receive them at the end • of November or beginning of December.

Calendars are becoming each year a more popular form of gift, and those who use the Life-boat Calendar may feel that they are making it do a double service. They will be sending their friends a charming gift and they will be helping the Institution.

The calendar will have a reproduction in colours of a picture painted by the famous i marine , artist, Mr. W. L.

Wyllie, R.A., which he generously presented to the Institution.

The calendars will be 11J inches long by 9 inches wide, and they can be obtained from the Institution in any quantity, post free, Is. each, or 10s. a dozen, this price including an envelope with each calendar. It will weigh, in the envelope, just under 4 ounces, so that it can be sent through the post, with the envelope open, for Id.

Those who wish to order calendars should apply to the Secretary, Royal National Life-boat Institution, Lifeboat House, 22, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C. 2, and should enclose with their order a postal order or stamps. Only such orders can be dealt with, and it will help materially if orders are sent at once..
