The fo regoi ng sum mary of rescues in the past vividly portray. th e va lue of the S ur f Life-S a vin g movement to this Domin ion. It is with feel ings of pride and justification that the Association records the fo regoi ng set of fig ures in making its appeal for a definite recogni tion by the general public and Lo cal Authoriti es in the activiti es of its Clubs, and in th e hope that some tangible recognition will be given to ensure the continuance of su ch services und er the most efficient conditions as regards to necessary equipm ent for all Clubs. A WORTHY ACHIEVEMENT. As far as the Association is a ware, on no occasion when the services o f membe rs of S u r f Life-Saving Clubs have been called upon has a life been lost. THE G OVE RN M ENT'S RECOGNITION OF S ER V ICES. The Hon . Minister of I n terna l Affairs (Hon . W . E.
