"The crew were called out to thei Daunt Rock lightship, which had broken away from her moorings off the Irish coast. When the boat was launched, spray from the terrife sea was reaching to the lantern of the lighthouse, 196ft above sea-level. It was some time before they could get the boat out, but sheer endurance got them to the aid of the lightship.
"They rescued the crew of eight from
the lightship under great dim- culties. That was the greatest ser- vice of the year and one which goes [down in the history of the Lifeboat
Institution."
Other medals wera awarded to the Penlee (Penzance) crew, the Long- |hope_(Orkneys) crew, and the

What Children Think of Shirley Temple
FILM PSYCHOLOGY
"Shirley Temple is regarded by many adults as a monstro- sity," said Dr. Emanuel Miller, a member of the Child Guidance Council, when addressing a con- forence on Films for Children organised by the British Film Institute at the Queen Mary Hall, London.
́ ́"Children," "he continued, "do-not- like seeing child artisis doing adult scenes. When-Shirley Temple makes statements which could only come from the lips of a sophisticated New Yorker, there are some badly brought-up children who would like to do the same thing, but the aver age child would like to see the child the pleture assisting in a sub- ordinate manner the

Ants Are the
New Craze INTRODUCING the newest
craze the ant.
Or rather, writes a London re- porter, hundreds and hundreds of ants, all sealed in glass-fronted "nesis" which show you exactly what ants do in the winter-time,
I have just had the low-down on this ant business from Mr. J. Bently- Alstrop, 20-year-old cager and collector of ants, who is busy in his cellar-workshop making these ants' nests. And seiling them, too.
This is what you do: Take some soil: put it between two sheets of glass in a frame to hang on u wall. Catch some ants, and place them in the soil.
Make two holes on the top of the frame. plug with cotton wool-one plece soaked in honey, the other in soap and water.
