LAKELET on either end and filled in with stone, Timbdrs were placed from piling to piling and the log floor- I ing was lashed in place with wire, Hand rails completed the structure. There was plenty of wild life to be seen during this period. As a matter of fact, at one point in the bridge-building all work stopped while the company watched a mo- ther bear and her two cubs as they wandered out of the bush and re- mained at close range for some time, Deer were regular visitors to the camp and the boys enticed them with food. E'k, black bears and Rocky Mountain striped squir- rels, similar to chipmunks, but larger, were seen on numerous oc- casions. high jump, winning a razor, as a prize and an ash tray on a wood- en base with the figure of an ath- lete on one end of the base, as an award for the first place in the hop, step and jump.

The train for home left Banff at 5 p.m, Tuesday and arrived in Toronto at 7 a.m., Friday. Barry enters Grade XIII this year. His trip to Banff concludes his activities in cadets. This particular company hit a bad week, with rain most of the time, They did appreciate the one dry night during the march. Not • all the boys made the grade, five having to be taken out with blis- tered feet or as a result of the rig- : ors of the exercise at high altitude. Barry declares this was the week they really enjoyed most. After the first couple of days of misery the situation became a joke. There seemed little more they could do than laugh at the difficulties, Each morning they climbed into their wet clothes and started out again. Long before the march was over they had discarded their panchos, since their clothing was then so wet that it really didn't seem to matter, Barry was one of the successful members of the party and received a crest for completing the march, He made the journey, but ruined a perfectly good pair of boots by slitting the backs to ease the blis- MU.

On the final week the company studied map reading and the pro- per use of maps, first aid aral un- armed combat. This was also week for lots of footwork, a per- iod each day being devoted to drill of very high standard. While in camp the cadets were free to go to Banff, four miles dis- t ant, in the e Maga and on week- ends were also free for their own pursuits. One of the amusing in- cidents occurred when an Ameri- can couple stopped Barry and a friend on the street and asked if they might take their picture. They then asked Barry where he was from and when he said Ontario the visitors remarked, "Oh. yes, we know where that it." Their reply to the other boy, who wane from Nova Scotia was, "Oh, thtWs one of those provinces ruled by the Queen of England." Two sports' days were hold. Ev- ents included an obstacle course. shot putt, high jump, 100-yard dash, etc. Standards were set for each of the 10 events on the first day and Barry won 20 out of a possible 20 points. The final sports' day was on the last Saturday in camp, When he was second in the An interview with Cadet Major Barry Fuller, this year's top cadet at Wingham District High School, earning him the honor of represent- ing the school at the National Ca- det Camp at Banff, was enlighten- ing as to the excellent experience and training these boys receive. The prospect of such a trip should prove an incentive to all cadets in Grade XII. There were 98 cadets from On- tario. These students all took two weeks' preliminary training at London before going west, They left Toronto by train on Monday morning at eight o'clock and ar- rived at Banff Thursday afternoon. In all, there were 210 at the camp from all across Canada, On arrival they were split into four companies and assigned to their huts. There were 16 boys to hut and by the end of the four weeks they had made many new friends from far and near. In Barry's hut were students from several pro- vinces. A couple of Quebec ca- dets could not speak English. They managed at first with sign lan- guage and by the end of the course they could speak a little English and the other boys in the hut had picked up a hit of French, ' Each company had a week of mountain marching, one- of tours and sight-seeing, one of bivouac, and a week of drill, with the com- panies rotating for training. Barry's company spent the first week in mountain marching. This was a 50-mile march through rug- ged countryside up Lake Minne- wanka, which is a 21-mile mountain lake, around, the end of the lake and back the other side; then through Carrot Creek Pass. Car- rot Creek runs through a gorge and in travelling through the pass the company had to wade across the cold mountain stream 23 times, in water up to their knees. All this was done with full pack and they had to do their own cooking. ters. His second week was what could be termed a holiday, This was tour week, when Army buses took them to the various vacation spots in the area. They visited the gondola lift on Sulphur Mountain, Hot Springs, where the water temperature is 105 degrees-fine for some seasons of the year, but a little warm in sum- mer. Other points of interest were Lake Louise and Emerald Lake. They were taken to the ski lift at Mt. Norquay, the Great Divide, where the stream at this point is only a couple of feet wide, and the Cave and Basin, where they went through the tunnel to see the bub- bling sulphur water. Camping in the mountains during the third week was a great exper- ience They climbed a mountain 6,000 feet above sea level (the ,limb, of course, was not 6,000 feet) and slept In tents, This time the cooks were with them and they didn't have to prepare their own meals. Buring the week they erect- ed shelters and a bridge, They had to fell trees to build the 30-foot span, made entirely of logs.
