Navy League Sea Cadets
Sir, —It seems that the Canterbury Sea Cadets are short of funds and need generous public support. Can it be that here, as in. England, for all the naval traditions of both countries, the Sea Cadets, for sonie unaccountable reason, are the Cinderellas of the pre-Service organisations? At home, whereas the Army and Air Fo-rce cadet units had the official backing and local prestige of the County Territorial Associations at their disposal, the unfortunate Sea Cadets, under the august but hardly munificent aegis of the Admiralty, had to depend largely on their own resources. Even in so famous a sea-going county as Devon, the Sea Cadets were often hard put to keep financially afloat, a state of affairs' that appeared to reflect little credit on the beneficiaries of all that is owed, throughout the centuries, to the Navy and Merchant Service.—Yours, etc., PLYMOUTH HOE. June 30, 1960.
J-jir,—l was very pleased to read in the paper about the work of the Navy League, especially the women’s section. I think they do wonderful work and I hope the public of Christchurch support this' worthy cause this Friday.— Yours, etc., * IMPRESSED. June 30, 1960.
