THE Institution is again issuing in the autumn a life-boat calendar for the New Year and a life-boat Christmas card.

The calendar will have on it a reproduction in colours of a picture by Mr. Charles Dixon, R.I., of the rescue by the Cromer motor life-boat of the crew of twenty-eight men of the Italian steamer Monte Nevoso in October, 1932. This was one of the two outstanding services of the year.

Coxswain Henry Blogg was awarded the silver medal for it, and each member of the Cromer crew the thanks of the Institution inscribed on vellum.

The calendar, as in previous years, will have the record of lives saved printed on the front and other particu- lars on the back.

It will be 11J inches long by 9 inches wide, and can be obtained from the Institution in any quantity, post free, Is. each, or 10s. a dozen, this price including an envelope with each calen- dar. 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.

The Christmas Card.

The Christmas card will be a four- page card with a reproduction in colours of the same picture. The card will have the Institution's crest inside and Christmas and New Year greetings, but no other printing. The price will be Sd. each, including the envelope.

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

They should apply to the Secretary, Royal National Life-boat Institution, 42, Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.I., and should enclose with their order a postal order or stamps..
