SEA CADETS
First Official Inspection About 60 Wellington Navy League Sea Cadets were present at their first official inspection last night by Captain R, E. Jeffreys, D.S.C., R.N., Naval Officer-m-Charge, Wellington. The Sea Cadets were only formed last December, and in a short address following the inspection, Captain Jeffreys complimented them on their smart turn-out. Captain Jeffreys said that before the war he was for two years in command of a training school on the Mersey for boys entering the Royal Navy or Merchant Navy, and as shipping was the life-blood of New Zealand, as it was of Great Britain, he thought a similarschool or schools should be started for training New Zealand boys for a sea career. -r. In concluding the proceedings, Mr. R. C. Addison, chairman of the Wellington Navy League sub-committee for Sea Cadets, presented the cadets, through their commanding officer Captain A. V. Hale-Monro, with a framed silk White Ensign autographed by the late Earl Jellicoe, which he had purchased at the Churchill auction yesterday morning.
