This being the end of another month on active service, a review of the past 30 days may prove of interest:
Health
The incidence of anything but minor ailments in the squadron has once again been small. With the arrival of warmer weather, the M.O., Capt Donen, has initiated hygiene discipline throughout the camp. To prevent flies making this their happy hunting ground, all "anti-fly measures" have been taken. Refuse receptacles have been covered, the keeping or cooking of perishable foods in personal tents is now prohibited.
Sport is being encouraged as much as possible, and P.T. classes, conducted by a member of our squadron who was a physical culturist in civil life, are also serving to keep health at a high peak. Rations during the past weeks have been of a good standard and apart from the variations in weather conditions, there appear to be few complaints.
General
With the dispatch of personnel to service aircraft in the Canal Zone and the arrival of the first of our "own" aircraft, the prospects of keeping both flying and ground personnel interested in squadron activities becomes brighter, for experience has shown that it is that very interest which builds and helps to build that spirit and morale so essential in raising a squadron above the ruck of ordinary performances to work, both on the ground and in the air, of very high standard.
