THIS year there will again be a Christ- mas card and pocket calendar for sale.

The card is of eight pages with the Institution's crest embossed on the out- side. Inside are Christmas greetings and a picture in colours of a life-boat scene on the Goodwin Sands in the old days. (The picture is reproduced on page 358.) The price, with envelope, is one shilling, and 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 on the front of a life-boat launching to the rescue, and the Insti- tution's crest on the back. It can only be supplied in dozens and the price is 2*. for, the first dozen and 1*. 6d. for each additional dozen. • There will also be a hanging calendar with a photograph of a life-boat at sea, 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 of these for sale..
