SEARCH FOR SAILORS
The Admiralty is about to launch a big recruiting drive to secure the additional man-power necessary for the expansion of the Navy. Two hundred and fifty retired naval "officers have already been enrolled as honorary lecturers in support of this campaign. Their activities will be controlled and co-ordinated by Eear-Admiral P. Macnamara (retired). The whole country has been mapped but into districts, and a list compiled of the schools, technical institutes, clubs, and institutes in each district. It is proposed to deliver lectures at as many of these as may desire to hear them. In this way it is hoped to promote knowledge of the Navy and stimulate interest in it among- all classes and sections of the community. Confidence is expressed in the success of this movement, which is the first of its kind to be undertaken on so large a scale.
