WORLD WAR NUMBER TWO PRISON CAMPS IN THE SCHREIBER,ONTARIO AREA IN THE 1940's Five camps were situated in the Schreiber Area along the east northsho shore of Lake Superior, Japanese were stationed at Black Siding now known as Terrace Bay, These people were from the province of British Columbia, German prisoners of war were held at Neys, Angler, Killala Lake and north of Mobert. They had good accommodations, and high on the food line. During this time the Longlac telephone company had put phones in Schreiber and the Todesco Store at Rossport. All groceries were ordered through the Rossport switchboard. The Todesc's relaed the list to a Lakehead wholesale business. It was astonishing the supplies ordered from watermelons to cantilopes,steaks,hams,current fresh fruits and vegetables etc. anything within a season. Did our boys receive such care and attention overseas???? An incident worth mentioning from the Neys camp was that a tunnel was dug by some prisoners to outside the camp using table spoons. It took many weeks to build this escape route as only a small quantity could be desposed of at a time. Some of the escapees ended up at Rossport Station. They were in the waiting room when Mr. Nicol came into the office at 8 A. M, They were a mess of fly bites They used French to report their condition that they wished to return to the camp as they just couldn't take the blackfly invasion on them. They couldn't tolerate the swarms of blackflies and mosquitos. Before the officers called for them,Mr, Nicol fed them.
