The board is only interested in recovering the maximum amount of damages for the workman who has been injured, Mr. Cameron said. | Compensation Is Theme Of Talk He added: 'We take pride in}OFFICERS ELECTED the fact we are non-political.

It is expected that about 1,700 'officers and NCOs will at- tend the camps, which repre- sents an average of nine offi- cers and 12 non-commissioned officers from each of the major regiments and units in the Com- mand. While recognizing this is a previous years, General Kitch- ing pointed out that the sum- mer camp plan applied to this year only.
