Ruby, a tourism in- dustry consultant with the Minstry of Taurism and Recreation, said tourists will be affected by how we treat them when they came into aur community. Thus* he said, "'Whether we like it or not we're alI in tourism." In deciding how ta deal with tourists he said residents should ask themnselves, "How do I want ta be treated when I go away? " Speaking ta a group of 65 including business people from the cham- ber and guests for the marigold award presen- tations, Ruby said residents should be governed in their dealîngs with tourists by the question, "How do I want ta, be treated when 1 go away? " He complimented Whitby on its beautiful visitors' centre (Infor- mation Centre). He said it is Whitby's gateway ta tourists. There they get the overaîl picture of the community and the quallty of life in it. He read a list of visitors' home ad- dresses from the Infor- mation Centre visitor's book which included countries ail over the world such as Arabia, Australia, Holland, Turkey, Sweden, Malaysia, etc. and said that there had been an increase of 4,000 tourists over last year. Ruby said Whitby had many unique aspects which could be focused on for tourism. He drew attention to the marigold, Whitby's flower, which identifies Whitby and appeals to visitors as well as residents. He said having a marigold con- test (in which con- testants' marigold gar- dens are judged) helps ta spruce up the com- munity. He also drew attention to the lakeshore, Cullen Gardens and Whitby's small town atmosphere as taurism assets. Ruby ýsaid, "Len Cullen brings in 400,000 people who haven't had the opportunity to see the community before. He can bring them in, but if you don't service themn properly, they won t came back." Tourism, Ruby said, is Ontaria's numnber two industry and fast on the way ta becnming num- ber one. To emphasize his point on the need for the entire community's committmeiit ta tourism, Ruby showed a Comblned Merchandisers lnc., a, subsidlary of Loblaw Campanies LimnIted, is currently seeking Individuals for full- time and part-time sales ln our new store location at Liver- poal Raad and Highway 2, Pickering.

Local CGF chapter set to meet next Monday The Durham chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundatian wlll hald its monthly meeting next Monday, (Sept. 16) in roam 106 at Henry Street High Schoal, 600 Henry St. at 8 p.m. Information is available ta local families and anyone in- terested in the disease.

The chapter organizes fund raising events and public information pragrams thraugh displays, speaking engagements and literature. Cystic Fibrasis is a genetic disease second only ta cancer in taking the lives of Canadian children. Research and impraved medicatiaif have improved the life expectancy of C.F. patients to the point, where, today, 28 per cent of Canadians with Cystic Fibrasis are over the age of 18. While this gives rise ta optimism, it does not erase the fact that the median life ex- pectancy today is only age 23.

According ta the film the entire community is affected by dollars from tourism and that effect is felt very quickly. The municipal tax base swells, and the town gains many amenities bath from tourist facilities them- selves and such things as new or improved roads built to service them. The increased num- ber of tourists spend their money on other services located in the community sa the entire community benefits. The film says the municipal benefit of tourism is in excess of the investment. As a tourism industry consultant, Ruby is no Type writer, RENTALSI also SALES & SERVICE
