SEA CADETS GO TO CAMP 1 Young Canucks Prepare for Summer' Activities at 14 Resorts TORONTO Vh - About 8,000 Canadian teen-aged boys will soon be stowing their gear to attend the 14 Sea Cadet camps now operating on a permanent basis across the Dominion. The Sea Cadets of Canada, celebrating their golden Jubilee In their first post-war summer, are continuing, under Navy League auspices, this work which war-time developments greatly stimulated. David II. Gibson of Toronto., Dominion president of the Navy League, said that between 3,000 and 4,000 cadet alumni who helped form the nucleus of the Royal Canadian Navy In the Sjcond Great War convinced R.C.N. officials of the value of Sea Cadets and by 1942 the first Sflillrequlpped, well-run, summer camps were sei up. surplus war equipment from the navy is being turned over to the cadets for training purposes. A special feature this year will be a visit of 25 Sea Cadets from Britain to the Canadian camps, their expenses paid by the Navy League. Eventually It Is lfoped to have Empire-wide exchanges of cadets on summer visits. There will orlso be an Interchange of cadets between camps In the different provinces this summer. The primary aim of the or ganlzatlon, hbweve'r, Is not merely to train boys as sailors, but Is "to develop character, self-reliance and co-operation." There is maintained at camp the minimum of discipline and drill along with the strictest enforce ment of rules of safety and cleanliness. In his two-week stay the cadet finds uses for his win ter training while sailing, cut ter poling and swimming. School work Improves and, under su peryislon of trained navy men, the cadet learns to discipline himself and to lead others. To encourage outstanding cadets six scholarships are awarded every year at the Royal Naval College In Esquimau. The camps now maintained for the cadets are: Camp Major on McNab's Island, in Halifax Harbor; Camp Pownal near Charlottetown, P. E. I.; Camp Brock on the St. John River, 28 miles from Saint John, N. B.; Camp Ewing at Schoisey on the Ottawa River, 40 miles from Ottawa; Rotary Island Camp near Ganonoque, Ont.; Queen Elizabeth Camp and Princess Alice Camp, in Georgian Bay near Midland, Ont.; Camp Kitlchl-wml near Goderich, Ont.; Lake Eva Camp, 125 miles northwest of Port Arthur; Camp Ruttan, Kenora, Ont; Shepley Island Camp on Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon;.
