For the Fun of It All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy… so relaxation and recreation were high on the list of considerations for the personnel and trainees at Camp Wainwright. In only a few short years, the camp molded a multitude of recreational delights for its residents. Mott Lake offered swimming and picnicking pleasure, a riding club was formed, the theatre offered adult and children entertainment, there was bowling and bingo, gymnasiums and outdoor sports facilities, a gun club with rifle range, and each mess participated in social evenings. Still, when the troops were allowed their free time, town is where most of them headed, especially in the first two years during constuction of the camp. Wainwright offered somewhat less for entertainment at that time. There were two theatres, a few eating places and two beer parlours. One common complaint of the soldiers was that it seemed there was an extremely limited female population, however from notices in the Wainwright Warrior and Star Chronicle, it was discovered that many actually found female companionship which often resulted in matrimony. For the most part, the twonspeople of Wainwright accepted the presence of military personages in their community. New and existing businesses experienced profits from their increased clientele compensating for any inconvenience they may have suffered. Two major disturbances resulted from restless boredom of the troops in training, and stand out in the memories of Wainwright residents. HUMOR FROM THE WARRIOR O.C.: Did you have the jeep out last night? Young Officer: Yes sir, I took some of the boys over to the theatre. O.C.: Well, tell the boys that I found one of their little lace hankies. THREE BIG NIGHTS Camp Theatre July 1st -2nd & 3rd Show Starts at 19:30 Hrs. Admission 50c FREE! See Erna FREE!
