Speaking to a newspaper reporter, Colonel Chaffey. who is ia command of the Tapawera camp, said:— '\\e realise very fully our responsibilities in connexion "with the hundreds of young men in the cam p. Wo are ever mindful of the fact that the men are under our care, and we are determined that they shall come under no evil influences here. We trust that the influences will be all for gcod. The camp is conducted under very strict rules, and anyone found bringing liquor into the younds is liable to a tine of £20. Military police are appointed to see that every man is behaving himself, and there is very little opportunity indeed for any form of evil-doing. 'I'll© chaplains aro welcomed to the camp, and they can see exactly how thinss are going: on. I think the training received is an ox-ceßk-iit thintr quite apart from the military point of view. It brushes up a man, and it will help to make him a good citizen."
