Mr A. G. Hultquist M.P. who entered camp at Trentham on 9th December has been on Xmas leave since the 21st inst. He returned to Whaltatane on Friday the 22nd and left the same evening with Mrs Hultquist for Auckland. He was in Whakatane again last Tuesday morning but left for Wellington oy the 1 p.m. servicc car that day. Mr Hultquist is in the Central District School of Instruction at Trentham as a Private and is studying hard for non-commission ed rank in the Second Echelon. In a letter to the Beacon he expressed himself as well pleased with camp life and the hard training. "My greatest thrill,'' wrote Mr Hultquist "has been in discovering that I have been able to take it and stand jit* to the life which is totally diff6p\ erit to the one I have been used to during the last four years. I have met many Bay of Plenty boys In camp and they are all enjoying their work. I am in Hut 184 at the school and Mr J. B. Cotterill M.P. for Wanganui is in the same hut. I feel as fit as a fiddle and in fact, have never felt so well before.
