Direction of Camp. While definite confirmation could not be obtained this afternoon, it is reâ€" ported that health authorities are takâ€" ing steps to close the shack town of blueberry pickers twenty miles east of Matheson, following the outbreak of an opidemic of dysentery. Dr. C. Smylie, of Matheson, reported this afternoon that six people are conâ€" fined to hospital and many others are being treated for the disease at the sitse of the mushroom miunicipality. Doserted during the winter, berry pickâ€" ers from many parts of the country flock to this section at this time of year. Six hundred were encamped there early in July and toâ€"day the popuâ€" lation has grown to nearly three thouâ€" sand. Interviewed over long distance teleâ€" phone this afternoon, Dr. Smylie said that conditions at the blueberry shack town are appalling. An inspection has been made by Hugh McIntyre, district sanitary inâ€" spector, with a representative of the Ontario Department of Health from Toronto, and it is considered likely that the government may order the blueâ€" berry pickers to evacuate. The pickers hail from many parts of Northern Onâ€" tario, colonies moving in from Kapusâ€" kasing, Timmins, Cochrane, Hearst, Rouyn, Noranda, with some coming from as far away as New Brunswick, Ssoauthern Ontario and Quebec. The first intimation of an outbhreak of dyâ€" sentery came three weeks ago and since that time the disease has reached epiâ€" demic proportions. Entire families are living in small shacks constructed of birch poles and tar paper. The soâ€"called town is visitâ€" ed regularly by police but as far as any supervision from a sanitary standpoint is concerned, conditions have grown from bad to worse. Members of Timmins Kiwanis Club and their wives, numbering over seventy gathered at the boys‘ camp sponsored by the club at Barber‘s Bay last night and enjoyed an excellent dinner in an ideal setting. The only regrettable inâ€" cident of the trip was an unfortunate accident to Kiwanian E. H. King, who sustained a broken ankle in a softball game. President Phil Kinkel was in the chair for the dinner and called upon Jim Jackson to introduce some of the guests for the occasion, the list includâ€" ing Chief of Police Leo Gagnon, Inâ€" spector Art Olson and swimming inâ€" structor Chilcott, of Schumacher Lion‘s pool. Chief Gagnon complimented the Kiwanis Club on the wonderful work that is being done at the camp, making it possible for boys to get an outing that otherwise would be denied them. Great praise was given during the evening to the Boys‘ Work committee, under the direction daf Jack Fulton,. Many â€"favourable comments were made on the way the camp has been carried on this summer. All buildings have been freshly painted, adding conâ€" siderable to its appearance. Charles Jolliffe, camp manager, came in for a good deal of praise, along with his five camp leaders, Don Hardie, Joe Wadsworth, Ward Allen, Nobel McCay and "Fat‘" Lash. Mr. Joliffe has diâ€" rected the activities of the camp for the past two seasons and it is regretted that he will be unable to be present next year. After dinner the camp fire was startâ€" ed and with Camp Leader Joliffe conâ€" ducting, the evening was brought to a close with the usual stories and singâ€" song. Winner of.I. 0. D.
