THE Institution will again have a Christmas card and a pocket calendar for sale. The card will be a reproduction in colour of the picture on this page.

The original painting by Mr. Rowland Fisher, R.O.I., S.M.A., was speciallycommissioned by the Institution, and portrays the rescue by the Moelfre (Anglesey) life-boat of the crew of the coaster Hindlea in October 1959. The service took place in a hurricane force wind of 104 m.p.h. and in great diffi- culty owing to the close proximity of rocks. For this service Coxswain Richard Evans was awarded the Insti- tution's gold medal for gallantry.

The card will be of four pages, with the picture on page one, greetings onpage three and a description of the painting on page two. The price of the card, with the envelope, will be 9d.

Name and address can be printed in, if not fewer than twenty-five are ordered, at an added cost of 15/- for 25 up to 5017/6 for 51 to 100; 25/- for 101 to 200.

Supporters of the Institution living in the Irish Republic are asked to order Christmas cards from the Dublin office, 32 South Frederick Street, Dublin, C.2.

The pocket calendar will have on the front a photograph taken on board the St. Abbs (Berwickshire) life-boat at sea.

It can be obtained in dozens. The price is 2s. for the first dozen and Is. 6d. for each additional dozen..
