Friends in town last week were very anxious when word reached here that Mrs. W. D. Watt, formerly of Timmins, but now of Sudbury, was seriously ill at Hamilton. Mrs, Watt was in Hamilâ€" ton on a visit to her former Timmins friend, Mrs. H. Hatton, when she was taken ‘very ill and fears were enterâ€" tained for her recovery. Her â€"two daughters, Mrs. Glen Smith, of Mountâ€" ioy street north, Timmins, and Miss Francis, of Sudbury, and her husband, Mr. W. D. Watt, were called to Hamilâ€" ton. Word reaching here this week, however, gives the pleasing news that Mrs. Watt is making good recovery. Mrs, Watt has hosts of friends here, where the family lived for many years in the early days of the camp. Mrs. Watt was prominent in many circles, includng the Caledonian Society and the I~ O. D. E., being Regent of the latter .some years ago and for many vears one of its officers. Mr. and Mrs. R. V.

Young left this week for a trip to the West, intending to visit Kapuskasing, Hearst, Geraldâ€" ton, Porth Arthur and other points. Boys from Timmins, Schumacher, South Porcupine, Iroquois Falls, Kirkâ€" land Lake, Kapuskasing and Englehart have been at the Cadet Camp at Camp Bolton, and dlife at the Camp, as well as the journey there are graphically portrayed by (Billy Weeks, of Englehart. His report of the camp will be of interâ€" est ‘and information to parents and friends of the boys from the other centres, and for this reason is given in full below:â€" Mr. Murray Stanley left yesterday for Toronto, We left the Town Hall and marched to the station with the pipes and druuns, where all the parents were waitâ€" ing to see their boys off. © On the train were boys from Kapusâ€" kasing, South Porcupine, Schumacher, Cochrane, Troquois Falls, Timmins and Kirkland Lake. We pulled out with lots of noise and before we hit Earliton someone managed to pull the air cord and the train stopped, but of course no one knew who did it. The boys were all full of pep and did not want to sleep, but by the early hours of the morning the train was quiet perty anr one Srgt. Major caught a 4‘4 1b, trout, but it is a military secret. are three fine swimming pools, also three baseball diamonds, basket ball, hanr baill and a canteen run by the Salvation Army where the boys can buy soft drinks, chocolate bars and ice cream, but no cigarettes ¢ they can be had at Boiton three miles awzy). The boys were all medicially inspected and, besides the basic training, are given a chance to specialize in artâ€" illery, signals or engineering. Volâ€" unteers were called to form a band and 64 boys fell in. The Bandmaster N. B. Chenhall, is a marvel, within On reaching Toronto an officer from the camp met us, The boys were formâ€" ed up and marched to the dining room at the Union Station where we all had a good breakfast, after which the boys were given half hour relax. At 1030 we were formed up and marched to a special train ; for. Bolton, â€" We had to wait some time for a Hamilton outfit, whose train was late. Whilst wafting the newsy peddled milk shakes at 10c each and before the train left you could not see the platform for em pty milk containers, The cadets by now numbered 745. Arriving at Boiliton the train was met by Major C. E. Read and his staff. On arriving at camp, dinner was serâ€" ved. The boys then paraded and were given a riflie, blankets and sun helmet, and summer uniform and placed in their various cabins, furnished with steel spring camp cots and mattress. The camp itself is a wounderful place and is used at the fresh air camp and rented by the Government for cadets training. It covers 275 acres and cost $400,000.00 to lay out and build. It accommodates 1,150 campers with 200 of a staff and has three modern kitâ€" chens and three dining halls, 176 cabins The rotary hall seats 900 and thne main buildings are all equipped with open fireplaces. ‘The cabins hold from 8 to 12 beds. The general layout is very fine. The large wellâ€"kept parade grounds is surrounded by heavy foliage and large trees and cabins are all shetered and dotted on the rising slopes A small stream runs through the proâ€" The boys then, headed by a band, marched three miles to camp, headed by the Major in a jeep and followed in the rear by a truck for any emergâ€" ency and a fully equipped Red Cross ambulance yan with a doctor and staff in attendance, During work nours you would run on a bunch of signal boys laying telephone wires in the bush and split up in little groups working out some scheme. Then in a sheltered spot you came upon an amphitheatre with the boys all set around and their: instructor in the centre showing them how to do their stuff. Under another shady spot were the latest. Ach Ach guns and other artillery with an instructor in charge. Sunday we had a church parade in a shady spot. An impressive sight is the lowering of the flag at sundown. The band marches a picked picket of men; the ceremony is well carried out, A special platoon of 42 are coming from Borden Camp to demonstrate an atâ€" tack for the benefit of the Cadets. Artillery, fame throwers, signal flares and modern equipment will be used, Something of interest I got to know: Major C. E. Read is a real father to the boys, strict, but very human. I watched him console a home. sick boy for two days, then send him to the station in a car, place him in care of the conductor and wire his mother he was coming home. 48 hours the band paraded and were plenty good. He has a method of his own in teaching and it‘s very interâ€" esting to watch him and listen to his methods. Capt. W. M. Mountfield is in charge of all stores. He is known as "Curly" to his friends but he is as bald as billâ€" iard ball but a real guy who served out stores at the rate of 20 a minute. Capt. Hart is a very nice lad willing to do anything to help anyone. Capt. R. Q. Soms, "Roy", to his messâ€" mates, Camp Adjutant of the camp,, a real guy and smart officer and has the boys on their toes. Outside their training the boys have various .duties to do. They do the washing up, on duty run orders, and all night pickets in pairs patrol the camp. One night a concert party visited the camp with 20 artists, the next night the boys put on their own show, an imitation of the previous party. This is a nightly show and the Major and his stafft pick the winners each night till the final concert. There is also a shooting competition going and a soft ball league has been formed. There was a bit of » kick by some the first day on the grub, but that was soon ilroned out. Last but not least, Sergt. Major Gumâ€" brell, whom all know so well as the boys‘* travelling instructor. To see him and Capt. Soms on parade drill you can only compare them to a couple of clock work toys or military robots. Don‘t worry, folks, your boys are in good hands and having a good time. One night one lad was sick, the ambuâ€" lance was rushed to his hut, the boy taken to the camp infirmary and on Doctor‘s examination was given a dose of caster oil (too much ice cream) and walked back to bed. On another occasion one cabin would not be quiet and kept other lads awake. The picket reported them to the Adjutâ€" District Officesâ€"Bank of Commerce Bldg., Timmins ‘ant. We walked up to the hut in quesâ€" tion and heard what was going on. The l officer opened the door and said, "I know what is the matter, boys, you are sleepy, are you, and don‘t want to settle down." They said, "No, Sir, that‘s | right." "All right, he said, "Come with me just as you are in your pyjamas," and on reaching the parade ground he said, "Now fall in and run round there ‘ till you are sleepy and I will watch ‘ vou."
