The life-boat calendar for 1943 will shortly be ready. It will have on it a reproduction in colours of a painting of Coxswain Edward Drake Parker, of Margate, who won the D.S.M. for helping to bring off over 600 men of the B.E.F. from the beaches of Dunkirk. In order to save paper, the calendar will be 6 inches by 9 inches, half the usual size. It will cost a shilling, including the envelope, or 12 for 10/-, and it can be sent through the post open for 1d..
