SEAMEN'S REST. NEW PLYMOUTH
1, Mallatn Street, Karori, Wellington. April 13, 1948. Dear Editor, —In May of this year our New Plymouth Branch will be commemorating twenty years of service given by their Sailors’ Rest to visiting men. Recently we had the pleasure of spending a day in New' Plymouth and took advantage of the opportunity to visit the “Rest.” The spacious rooms and the many facilities for relaxation and entertainment make it very suitable for all that is done there, and it supplies a real answer to the needs of visiting seamen. Mrs. Garvin, who showed us over the “kest.” is very ably assisted by Mr. and Miss Garvin in looking after the interests of the men.. She is “Mum” to many of them, and has a very motherly way which brings the hoys hack to see bet again and again. A real want at the “Rest” at present is a supply of books, magazines, Digests and comics for the Library an*’ tor the men to take away on board ship when leaving, and Mrs. Garvin would be very grateful if our Unions could send any books, etc., for the Library. Parcels should be addressed “Mrs. Garvin. Sailors’ Rost, New Plymouth.” Trusting for a generous response to ibis appeal. Yours sincerely, A. D. GRIGG.
