'Just Men' was the title of a long poem written by Mr. Anthony S. Burry, of Wickmead Close, Southend, in honour of the Moelfre life-boat and sold in booklet form by the Moelfre branch on their flag day on 28th August, 1967. The poem, which is woven around the service to the Hindlea in 1959 when Coxswain Richard Evans won his first gold medal, 'attempts to pay tribute to the whole of the life-boat service, and the selfless devotion of a self-imposed duty, by men whose lives are bound up in the sea'.

The R.N.L.I, recently received a postal order from Mr. Graham J. Tooley, of Paignton, South Devon, for £2 los. He said: 'In my spare time I made my own life-boat information poster. This comprised a drawing of a 4j-foot Watson type life-boat at sea, the R.N.L.I. badge and the flag. There was also a scale map of the British Isles showing all the life-boat stations and sea areas together with a list of life-boat stations and the types and sizes of all the life-boats. The whole thing was then painted in the appropriate colours and pasted on hardboard and finally varnished. It was entered in the handicrafts section at a local show and won firstprize. The board was afterwards left on display in our local R.A.O.B. club and realised £2 js. 2d. To this I added the few shillings prize money.' When two Hull football badge collectors wrote to the local press offering to buy badges of the now disbanded Hull City Supporters' Club, Miss Irene I. Ransom, of Princes Avenue, Hull, sent her badge with a note to the effect that, whatever they gave for it, the money would go to the R.N.L.I. Instead of the usual 2s. 6d. the collectors sent her 45. - which Miss Ransom forwarded to the Institution.

In July, 1967, the Wick branch organized in aid of life-boat funds a sponsored long distance walk from John O'Groats to Wick. Small R.N.L.I. souvenirs were given as prizes to those who completed the walk. Of almost 120 entrants over 100 finished the 17 mile walk. The profit amounted to over £500.

Sondes Place County Secondary School for Boys, Dorking, have sent a cheque for £12 35. 6d. to the Institution. Apparently during an educational cruise to Norway in July, 1967, duplicated copies of the Admiralty chart of the Norwegian coast and fiords for use by school travellers were sold by the boys to passengers on behalf of the R.N.L.I. The boys even sold one to the pilot of the steamer ! When the cargo ship President Garcia grounded in Saints Bay, Guernsey, on I4thjuly, 1967, it caused a great deal of interest on the island. Mr. P. R. Hocart, of St. Andrew, Guernsey, took advantage of the interest and allowed one of his fields to be used as a car park for people wishing to see the ship. Result ? The Institution is now some £270 better off..
