KING ON TOUR
VISIT TO BOYS’ HOLIDAY CAMP ROWED ASHORE FROM YACHT BY FISHERMEN THEIR MAJESTIES GOING TO ABERDEEN. (British Official Wireless.) (Recd This Day, 10.15 a.m.) RUGBY, August 2. The King spent four hours at a boys’ holiday camp at Southwold before returning to the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, which left for Yarmouth, where it will anchor tonight. With the Queen and Princesses, the King is on his way to Aberdeen. The King reached and left the beach off Southwold, which is crowded with holiday-makers, in a rowing boat pulled by two local fishermen, aged 66 and 68 respectively. At the camp, which is under the auspices of the Industrial Welfare Society and is attended in equal proportions by public school boys and lads already in industrial employment, the King inspected all the tents and afterwards addressed the boys in the concert hall. He later watched a game of the camp’s special variety of netball — a mixture of Association and Rugby football and other ingredients. Before leaving, his Majesty joined the boys in singing their camp song, with its ritual of appropriate gesture.
