'Wreck Raisers'

Mr. M. R. C. Parr, of Eycline Films Ltd., London, writes: 'The "Wreck Raisers", a film just completed for the Children's Film Foundation, features the friendly life-boat coxswain vho is also the magistrate as one of the main adult characters. The film, most of which was shot in and about Lyme Regis, shows the Lyme Regis inshore life-boat and the boat house.

John Hodder, a member of the Lyme Regis crew, who was presented with an award for life saving last year, appears as an extra. The actor Robert Brown, who plays the coxswain in the film, has long standing connections with the Institution as both his father and grandfather were coxswains of the Swanage life-boat.

Although this film is not on general release it will be seen by a very large number of children at the Saturday morning film shows throughout the country.'.
