THE Herts Advertiser of St. Albans, writes that one of the honorary workers for the St. Albans branch, when she read the record of lives rescued by lifeboats during the first month of the war, gave to the branch one penny for each life.

The paper continues: "I hope many will emulate this lifeboat worker's example, not only now but in succeeding months. The Herts Advertiser will keep them informed as to the total number of rescues month by month.".
