As Chairman of the Committee of Management of the Royal National Life-boat Institution, I would like to take this opportunity of congratulating everyone associated with the life-boat service on their splendid achievements during the past year and to wish them the happiest of Christmases and the very best of luck in all their efforts on behalf of the life-boat service in 1965.

V. M. WYNDHAM-QUIN, CAPT., R.N..
