and even what compartments of the holds are to be used. After departure control is from U.K., even to such details as the temperature at which the fruit is to be carried if variation from normal is required for marketing purposes. Thus oranges are normally carried at 40°F., but on the homeward passage instructions were received to raise this to 52°F., presumably to speed up ripening. Voyage 24 of the "Rothesay Castle" began at Southampton on 29th March, and after calls at Antwerp and Le Havre to discharge the remaining cargo from the previous voyage, she sailed for •S. Africa on 9th April. Ports of loading were Loureng Marques, Durban, East London and Cape Town, while tomatoes were picked up at Las Palmas. The main cargo consisted of grape fruit and oranges, with some lemons, grapes and apples and 345 tons of canned fruit, to a total of just under 5,000 tons. The ports of discharge were Southampton and Bremen. At the time of writing the "Rothesay Castle" is engaged on a similar voyage, but for citrus fruits only.
C.C.F. NOTES "It was a very great pleasure to inspect this Contingent, whose turnout and drill were of a very high order. The training of all three Service Sections was very well organised and executed efficiently. I was much impressed with the enthusiasm and interest shown by cadets and with the high standard of instructional technique and leadership qualities displayed by cadet N.C.O.s. "The School is to be congratulated on a first-class voluntary contingent which is achieving the aims of the Combined Cadet Force." These are the words of the Chairman of the Joint Cadet Executive, Colonel J. F. Lake, M.C., who inspected the Contingent on Tuesday, 22nd June. Such comment from an Officer whose position brings him into contact with more schools than perhaps any other serving officer must give justifiable pride to the Contingent, and at the same time has set a very high standard for the future. We have always regarded the Annual Inspection as an occasion for trying to show a summary of what we normally aim at in the year's training rather than for introducing stunts and sideshows, and the Inspecting Officer's remarks show that everyone did his best. Apart from the Inspection, the outstanding achievement has been the winning of the Marling Cup at Bisley, and we congratulate the team and Captain Le Tocq, who gives so much of his time to its training.
ARMY CAMP There were two unusual characteristics of this year's camp. First, a high proportion of Senior N.C.O.s made it difficult for Captain Craven to give them as much responsibility in the exercises as they should have had. We always try to fit in anyone who wishes to attend camp, but if we are to continue to arrange camps, it is essential that we have a bigger proportion of younger cadets, and thus we shall start to publicise camp much earlier in the year. 37
