C 1 CAMP

GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE. The special Medical Board which is examining the- C men, dealt with 1455 reservists up to the end of October. Of these 818 were declared lit and C 37 unfit. The fit wen comprised 19G fit for training in the A camps (tho ordinary military cninpe), »nd 022 men passed ns suitable for training in tho CI camp at Tauhorcnikan. Tho proportion of fit men among tho reservists examined in tho course of this "coinbir* over" process Iβ regarded as very satisfactory. Tho CI camp contained 903 men on October 27, this number including recruits who had been transferred from the ordinary camps for epeoial training. Hie camp had then been open for four weeks, and the number of men discharged «s unfit had been 35. Transfers of men-, graded as fit to the A camps had begun,, but the process hud not proceeded farenough to justify the basin? of _ conclusions on the figures. The indications are that the camp will be abundantly justified by the results it will produce. Ihe medical officers report that the improvement of tho physique of the recruits in many cases has been surprisingly rapid.
