Murray Brown, a repre- sentative of the Canadian Tour- ist Association, addressed the club. stressing the beauties of the Dominion. The CTA is an association of businesses, organizations and governmental bodies interested in the promotion and develop- ment of tourism in Canada. "Travel in Canada is a big theme," Mr. Brown said, "as it is a big business. more travel money in Canada. First, it encourages local indus- try and commerce. There are billions inyested in tourist facil- ities in Canada. More travel in- eome will help to amortize the cost of existing facilities and help create new and more mod- ern facilities. Another point is employment. Somewhere be- tween five and 10 per cent of Canada's labor force is now working in tourism. The invest- ment needed to provide one job in tourism is far less than is needed to provide a job in manufacturing. This is one answer to filling the job require- ments of high school youngsters who are coming out in increas- ing thousands, especially when a great number of jobs in the touristic field require compar- the U.S.A. and from over- seas countries. "This is almost double the) amount we received from exter- panding and needs to be in order to keep pace with competition in this field. "The Canadian Government budget of almost $5 million -- an increase of 30 per cent over last year. The program will in- clude increases in the U.S.A. market, and an expanded pro- gram overseas. The provincial governments, transportation companies and others are ex- panding their promotional ef- forts outside of Canada. "The Canadian Travel Trade Mission to Europe this year, came back with the conviction that Canada can expect a doub- ling of visitors from Britain, France and West Germany in the next three years. "The United States too has a) relatively untouched market for visitors to Canada. Last year, fewer than one and one half mil- lion U.S. citizens -- men, women and children -- came to Canada for a period of eight days or more -- a minimum vacation period. This included business trips and all types of visits. "When you consider that over 100 million U.S. citizens took a long distance trip somewhere, and most of these citizens live within a day's trip to Canada, we have barely scratched the} surface of our potential south of| the line. In addition, many mil- lions more have finances to travel, but do not take a trip anywhere, "Finally, there is the Cana- dian market. Canadians are the world's greatest travellers. They spend more money per capita on international travel than the citi- zens of any other country. "This has posed problems for us. The fact that Canadians for many years spent more money on travel outside the country than foreigners were spending inside Canada put an added strain on the drain of financial reserves already brought about by other factors. "Last year, for the first time in 12 years, Canada brought its international travel account into balance, we had a surplus of $13 million, This was brought about ation of the dgllar, and the re- strictions on purchases by Ca- nadians visiting the U.S.A. U.S. spending in Canada rose sharply and Canadian spending in the U.S.A. dropped SELFISH REASONS "No one wants to prevent Ca- nadians from holidaying outside of Canada, but it is remarkable 'that last year over 1,000,600 Canadians spent more than eight days outside of the coun- try . remarkable when Can- worth visiting are the following: "|of admission: Heart's Content, atively little training. "Finally, the tourist dollar cir- culates throughout the economy, and everyone benefits from it. "Among the many beautiful spots in Canada which are well "Newfoundland, Britain's old- est colony, founded in 1583 but discovered in 1497. The place names alone are worth the price Blow Me Down, Joe Batts Arm, Leading Tickles. "Newfoundland, an Atlantic Bridgehead is incredibly green. A good plan on arriving on this rugged Island is to make St. John's your centre of opera- tions and take trips out to other accessible parts of the island "The oldest capital city in North America, St. John's, with its magnificent haybor is well worth the time spent in ex-| ploring it. "In the fine Newfoundland Museum, you will see paintings and tableaux depicting the land- ing of the Viking Leif Ericson nearly 500 years before the voyage of Columbus. "Here, too, are interesting relics of the Beothuck Indians, a vanished race, as well as of Eskimo culture. Newfoundland isa 'hunter's and fishermen's paradise. Moose and caribou are plentiful while the streams abound with game fish. For a Christ Church Cathedral 110 years old and the first new cathedral: built on British soil at the time. Lord' Beaver- brook's Art Gallery is well worth a visit--$1,500,000 gift of a distinguished former resident to New Brunswick. "At Saint John, you'll see the old Martello Tower built in 1812 guarding the harbour and' the Royal Arms of the House of Hanover rescued by Loyalists from the American Colonies in 1776, and preserved at old Trinity Church. "Among other places and things you will want to see are the world's longest covered bridge at Hartland, the highway which runs over the ocean floor between St. Andrew's and Min- ister's Island; Campobello Island in the Bay of Fundy, family; Fort Beausejour, old French fort near Sackville; New Denmark, where the resients ot Danish origin each June 19 wear Old Country Costumes and dance the old dances; and Fundy National Park. "La Belle Province" as French-Canadians call Quebec, is both Canada's largest and oldest province, and the centre of all French-Canadian _his- tory and culture. "It is one of the most fasci- nating parts of Canada, with rich . historic associations and wonderful vacationing oppor - tunities. Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city, in the world, it is renowned for its gaiety, nightlife and cosmo- politan atmosphere. "There is a rich abundance jof religious and. historic sites to visit in Montreal, At old Chateau de Ramezay, built in 1706, you will see Champlain's garden gate, Wolfe's letters and sash. The Sulpician Seminary in the city's heart is nearly 300 years old, with an arched gate- way holding a clock brought from France in 1701. "No visitor to Quebec: should neglect to see Quebec City, Over 350 years old, it is the only fortified city in North Anierica. The city's setting it- special treat blue fin tuna fish- ing is superb. "Tucked ' away in a sunny) corner of Canada is Prince Ed-| ward Island, the garden of the} Gulf, an idyllic land of rural| charm and incomparable pas-| toral beauty. | "It has one of the most tem. perate. climates, in North America, and 'is a delightful spot for a summer vacation with its more than 1,000 miles of pure white sand ringing the island, "In Nova Scotia, there are many reminders of an historic past. The French fortress of Louisbourg, now undergoing a massive restoration which,when finished, will outshine Williams- burg. "Visiting Halifax, the capital, you can't.help but feel its his- toric past, a naval bastion of Empire MANY FEATURES "Halifax has many features of interest to the visitor. These include the ancient fortress, the Citadel with its three _ fine museums, and St. Paul's the oldest Protestant church in Can- ada, erected in 1750. It is also a centre of learning and culture, having no less than eight uni- versities and colleges | "New Brunswick is truly. aj land for the holidayer who lives! in the open air, for 80 per cent) of its area is forest abounding with wild game, and its many waters literally teem with speckled trout and wily Atlantic salmon.

"The vacation spots in On- tario are well known to mem- bers of the Oshawa Rotary Club and I can pass onto the West- ern Provinces. 'Then on to Manitoba and Winnipeg, it's capital. Winnipeg is the broad shouldered. gate- keeper of the western plains, a booming city of 500,000 popula- tion and has been a melting ot of many races. It is the home of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Lower Fort Garry, the only stone fort of the fur-trad- ing days still intact. in North America, with its interesting museum, Assiniboine Park Zoo, with its variety of animals and birds, and the greatest Grain Exchange in the world "Tt has streets made wide enough to allow a wagon train with 16 horses to make a turn. It has romance in grain, railroads and her gateway to the west position.

Edward Remenek, 28, of To- ronto, was fined $100 or 30 days in jail; and Ronald Miles, 30, 133 Mill street, and his brother, Albert, 36; Lot 17, Con. 5, East Whitby Township, were both fined $250 or 90 days in jail. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs gave' the trio no time to pay and warned: "Had this not been a wedding reception I feel you should all go to jail. We're not going to put up with this sort of thing." SECOND SECTION The Oshawa F OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1964 The Miles brothers were also ordered to pay $20 costs to re- place the torn uniforms of the three officers. A charge of obstructing a police officer laid against Remenek was withdrawn. The three officers -- Patral Sergeant David Wood, and Con- stables Cleo Thompson;and D. J. Tobin -- testified they ar- rived at the hall and warned the three accused: before arrest- ing them.

This winter celebration features such competitions as the 150-mile world championshp dogsiled race, snow shoe races, moose calling, ice fishing and snow- mobile racing. Churchill is Mani- toba's ocean port on Hudson Bay. "Saskatchewan in many ways is a fascinating paradox. It is widely known for its agricul- tural produce, and wealth of natural resources, but less known as a vacation-area. More than half the province is under forest, with rolling hills, lakes and rivers covering the land. "Regina, home of the RCMP training headquarters, was once known as Pile-Of-Bones, reminis- cent of the days when hundreds of freight car loads of' buffalo bones were shipped from this centre to plants in the east.
