THE secretary of the Institution would like to repeat the appeal made in the last issue of The Life-boat for volunteers from Greater London to help to develop the Institution's work in the East End by forming an East End branch, in- cluding Stepney, Bethnal Green, Shore- ditch and Poplar., What is wanted in particular is the help of owners of cars, who would be asked to give either a morning or an afternoon, not more than three or four times a year, to the work of distributing life-boat col- lecting boxes and then emptying them.

Miss Dorothy Davies, who has a wide knowledge of East London, and for the past five years has been doing life-boat work in Stepney, which already has a branch of the Institution, would act as honorary secretary. This summer she is again organizing a life- boat day. Any readers of The Life-boat who would be willing to help should write to Mr. John Terry, District Organizing Secretary, 42, Grosvenor Gardens, S.W.I..
