IN The Lifeboat for December, 1931 it was announced that the Honorary Secretary of the Branch at Cobham, Surrey, Miss Margaret Power, had very kindly offered to make woollen hearth- rugs and slip mats in aid of the Institu- tion's funds. As a result of thisparagraph Miss Power has had a letter from the Sudan Government Dockyard at Khartoum asking her to make a rug in the shape and colours of the Institu- tion's house-flag. This she has done and has given the profits to the Institution..
