(To the Editor.)
Sir,—l read the letter of a "Business Man" on camp entertainments asking the authorities to appoint a professional man, presumably with the rank of major, to promote and supervise camp shows. If the correspondent talked with members of H.M. Forces he would have heard that there were concerts arranged, promoted, and supervised by the Official Camp Entertainers under experienced guidance. These people with their committee have not only arranged concerts' for the troops at Trent.ham, Fort Dorset. Mount and Levin, but have also arranged bi-weekly dances at Mount Victoria and they have collected and chaperoned hundreds of girls for these dances, and,all this has been going on since a fortnight of the war breaking out. I have had the pleasure of attending these concerts in camps. They have been gay parties solely out to give us a good time, and these ladies and all their hundreds of voluntary helpers should not be relegated to the background.—l am, etc.,
