EARLY NOMINATIONS
IN MANY PLACES
NAVY LEAGUE ASKS
FIR YOUR SUPPORT
The Local Branch Of the Navy League
Sponsoring Appeal Here
In his message for Navy Week, now
being observed throughout Canada,
Hon. Douglas C. Abbott, Minister of
Naval Services says; "Throughout the
long war, the Navy League has been
of the utmost value not only to the
Naval Service but to the Merchant
Navies of all the United Nations. It's
splendidly run clubs and the countless
gifts to sailors which have resulted
from Navy League activities, have
been a definite factor in the mainten-
ance of the war-time morale of men
whose comings and goings over the
great waters provided a contribution
to victory so great that the war most
certainly could not have been won
without it,"
In addition to the work among naval
ratings and merchant seamen, which
work must be continued and can be
only by generous public support, the
Navy League sponsors the Royal Can-
adian Sea Cadets and, in co-operation
with the Naval Service, sends many
thousands of Cadets to its summer
camps. In barracks the Cadets are
taught many useful subjects as well as
the importance of self-discipline and
respect for authority. The entire syl-
lables is designed to turn out young
men ready to assume the responsibil-
ities of citizenship.
Support of the Navy League and its
work is a practical way to pay tribute
to the men of the sea and to ensure a
continuance of the sea cadet movement
in the interests of Canada's future.
