MEMORIAL MISSION
Sailors’ Society Appeal
The port missioner, Mr L. T. Welsh, full-time organiser for the British Sailors’ Society (Otago branch), is at present in Oamaru conducting an appeal for £50,000 for the erection of a seamen’s memorial mission in Dunedin. The mission is being erected in recognition of the service and self-sacrifice of the men of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy during the last war. A coloured sketch of the proposed mission is at present in the Polytechnic window.
Mr Welsh is conducting a canvass of the business community, which is meeting with a sympathetic response. The object of the society is for the furtherance of the religious and social welfare of ail seamen, and to provide hospitality for men who visit the port of Otago.
