Hospitality emerges for sailors
After a slow start, the public response to appeals for offers of hospitality to sailors on the two visiting Royal Navy ships due at Lyttelton next week had been very good, said the Resident Naval Officer (Lieutenant-Commander K. 1. Knight) in Christchurch yesterday. So concerned was the need for hospitality that appeals had to be made on local radio stations over the last two days.
Commander Knight said the city had responded so well that consideration was being given to halting the appeal. The two ships due at the port on Tuesday are the air-| craft direction frigate H.M.S. Llandaff and the stores sup-1 port vessel R.F.A. Resurgent. 1
