More Life-Boat Days Wanted!

A request has been made by a visitor to Newquay, Cornwall, that there should be more than one Life-boat Day each year, and the request is heartily supported by one of the local newspapers, the Bodmin Guardian.

The visitor points out that during the fortnight which he spent at Newquay there were " thousands who would have been only too delighted to have watched a launch, and have added a few coppers to the local Life-boat Fund." Why should only those who are visiting Newquay when the annual Life-boat Day takes place on August Bank Holiday, be able to do this ? It is a good point, says the Bodmin Guardian in reporting this request, and it appeals to the local Life-boat Committee to increase the number of Life-boat Days..
