The success of the League s effort to liven up lonel-y hours at sea is a tribute to the few workfolk making sports goods and games in Britain: their numbers have been reduced to next to nothing by the call to mum-
tion making. In addition to their share in this contribution to cheer the tedium of sea warfare, the men of the submarine get honey, sweets and cakes from the Navy League every month. Hundreds of. tins of honey have come in from New Zealand and Canada has contributed many consignments of cakes. From South Africa hundreds of sheepskin coats, strong and have come to England: these* are issued only on very special occasions. And the good work of the League includes parcels of shaving tackle, handkerchiefs, razor blad.es and pyjamas to prisoners of war.
