THE Life-boat Stamp Bureau, which was founded by Miss Margaret Power, of Mount Royal, Old Common, Cobham, Surrey, in 1933, is continuing and ex- tending its work. Miss Power has now a number of regular customers who want only first-class stamps, and a good clientele of schoolboys who buy penny packets. Last year she made a net profit of over £7.

Another bureau was started in 1937 at Cromer, by Miss A. M. Rawles, 10, Church Street, Cromer, and in her first year she has made over £6 net profit.

She has a regular clientele, and has besides a big sale at the boathouses, where the attendants last year sold over a thousand penny packets. She will be glad to send sheets and packets of stamps on approval.

Both Miss Power and Miss Rawles appeal for gifts of stamps, and they will be very glad to get in touch with any other branches which would like to start stamp bureaus of their own..
