aft, W X 1 oSBWSSEsK 4 jg* Here's to the Merchant Marine f © “In this war, deeds of human courage and mechanical ’ ingenuity are being performed that will amaze future generations,” writes the English author Captain Frank H. Shaw. "And running through the record will be the legend of British stubbornness at sea: ‘unsinkable’ ships that aren’t allowed to stay at the bottom, men who unhesitatingly sail again no matter what has happened to them.” @ The courage and endurance of the merchant marine is a modern example of British tradition. The same tradition survives in many forms, such as the enjoyment by the majority of our people of a friendly glass at a public-house. Soldiers, sailors, and civilians meet on human terms on such occasions —just as soldiers, sailors, and civilians foregathered at the village inns at the time of the Armada and in the days of Nelson. O Nowadays both civilian and military considerations demand moderation in the use of alcoholic beverages. A small minority of people are sometimes inclined to abuse their freedom, but good citizenship demands sobriety and reasonable behaviour at all times.
