As a secure site and with easy access to the United States the Camp-provided an ideal meeting place when there was a necessity for consultation among the higher levels of espionage agencies. On numerous occasions personnel at the Oshawa airport were shuffled into hangers as American State Departmnerff aircraft landed at the airport and un- loaded their secretive passengers. Known to have visited the Camp ini this fashion -were Wild Bill Donovan who-Would becomne head of the wartime Amnerican OSS and J. Edgar Hoover, legendary head of the FBI. Over the course of the war mnany distinguished persons would visit Camp X for one, reason or another often as flot in the middle of the night to avoid detection,.

BEGINNING 0F THE END By September of 1944 the need for training special operatives in North America had greatly declined. The Camp's unique curriculum was disbanded although the com- munfications capability continued to operate and play an important role in the war effort. As the war ini Europe came to a close the Camp's last Commandant supervised the removal of the BSC'records from New York to Camp X. There the records were summarized and a numnber of copies printed in the Alger Press buidiîng in Oshawa under condi- tions of utmost security. Al the original documentation was then carefully and systematically destroyed. In 1947 -the Camp X property was formally handed over to the Signal Corps of the Canadian Army. With the -end of the war most clandestine activity connected with Camp X was at an end. Its last known connection with 'The Secret War' occurred when Igor Guzenko was taken -fromn Ottawa to Camp X to be kept se cure under circum ,stances stili shrouded in mystery. With its, communications capabilities enhanced by the Signal, Corps Camp X would play an important role in the Korean War. In 1969 the installation was disbanded, the land being sold to the city of Oshawa and the -Town of Whitby. Throughout its existence Camp X was shrouded, in mystery. To those who worked there and to local residents the Camp was to become Camp X. To BSC it was known in its early days sfimply as thé Camp or the Farm. Officially it was only designated by the Departnient of National Defence file No. S 25-1 -1 and subse que-nt1y as Military Research Centre No.,2. Those who worked there were only identified by a security pass identifying the file'No. S25.1 -1 and a bracelet carrying the samne symbols. The research and the project team have established two things that we believe were not generally known (1) that Camp X and indeed BSC were very largely Canadian opera- tions and (2) that -the significance of Camp X in terms of the war effort makes this site one' of th >e most important installations in the prosecution of the Second World War.

That's what Ontario' Preventive Mediation is al about. Preventive Mediation is a new service offered by the-Ontario Conciliation and Mfediation Service of your Ontario Ministry of Labour. Here,'s how it works: Sometimes after contract negotiations have ended and an agreement has been signed, there may be issues that have left a bad taste for both management and labour. Positions may harden and these issues may become involveiment of a mnediator in this kind- of situation. The mediator contacts the parties and explores the possibility of discussions hefore the next round of negotiations. Free from the atmosphere of crisis bargaining, the "mediator can help the parties discîss the tough issues, identify the cause of friction and promote understanding and c(x)peration. First agreement negotiations are often deadlocked because of a breakdown in the relationship of the bargaining parties. The preventive mediator works to improve this relationship, encourage discuss ion and ease the way to contract settiement. No mediation service can be complete that only deals with crisis bargaining and ignores the underlying causes that give rise to the dispute.
