Original Toronto Star caption: In the drama group at the Downsview day camp sponsored by the Canadian Armed Forces; 5-year-old Christopher Locke acts out a soldier putting on his uniform while instructor Mary Bruce gives him some pointers. His amused companions wait their turn. The camp has been going five years for children of military personnel on the base; but this year; for the first time; it was opened to the public. About a third of the 75 youngsters are from outside the station.
