THIS year there will again be a Christmas card and pocket calendar for sale.

The card is of eight pages with the Institution's crest embossed on the outside. Inside are Christmas greetings and the above picture of a life-boat rescue in colours. Name and address can be printed in, if not fewer than a dozen cards are ordered, at an added cost of 13s. 6d. for the first two dozen and 9d. for each additional dozen or part of a dozen.

The pocket calendar has a black and white picture of a life-boat in a rough sea on the front and the Institution's crest on the back. It can only be supplied in dozens and the price is 2s. for the first dozen and Is. Qd. for each additional dozen.

There will also be a hanging calendar with the same picture as the card, but owing to the high purchase tax which would have to be paid on all the calendars printed, if any were sold, there will be none for sale..
