doned. No other cases occurred and the case noted made a full and
speedy recovery.
In view of the large numbers of people of a susceptible age attending
camps such as this it seems to me that the infectious diseases so far
noted and including the Cadet Camp were of a minimal order. When,
however, open visiting days are contemplated and when people from
perhaps all over the world come to these Camps, a considerable responsibility
rests upon those responsible for the hygiene arrangements.
This Camp lends itself to a high standard of hygiene and the authorities
have so far seen to it that no opportunity was lost of maintaining such
a standard. It is, however, essential that the closest co-ordination
should be maintained between the authorities responsible for each
Camp and my Department as only then can we achieve successfully
that day to day co-ordination and contact which will enable us most
effectively to deal with any outbreaks of disease which may arise.
