THURSDAY, MAY 13th, 1948TECAAINSAEMN OMVLLNAYOAGEEVI Importance of Tourist Trade And Highway Traffic Safety Siressed by HenryJanes, M.A. in dollars and cents and more par- ticularly the values of internation- ai friendshîps have been more and mare recognized by both national and provincial governments and in recent years they have set up publicity and educational schemes to encourage this international in- tercourse.. Ontario Leads By far the more enterprising of these scbemes are the agencies set up by the Drew government of Ontario. Under a fuli-time Minister, Hon. G. A. Welsh, the Department of Travel and Pub- licity, bas developed a compre- hensive and diversified campaign to attract tourists to this province and ta reduce traffic accidents. Much research bas gone into learning the best methods to ap- ply and the stm.dies in the U.S.A. were undertaken with this i'n view. Maintaining a good network of highways and urging better ac- commodation for U.S.A. tourists, welcoming them as visiting neigh- bors is the basic pattern to great- lv expand the tourist business. The Ontario government also puts up the greatest amount of money among similar bodies in Canada for advertisine in U.S. publica- tions. The effect is simply to sel Ontario scencry, fishing and hunt- ing oDrivileges, winter sports and so forth to Americans who, pay good dollars and these resources. climate and scenery, remain ycar after year as perennial attrac- tions. Bowmanville Rotary Club en- joyed a most enlightening, three- bold lecture at Friday's luncheonI in the Balmoral Hotel, when the guest speaker, Henry Janes, M.A., Toronto, spoke on Tourist Trade and Traffic Safety. He combined these two subjects with the third ingenieus faculty of introducing statistics without disturbing the sensibilities of bis audience and P: the whole story became an effort- less, educational pattern of high value in these auto-hegira times. The main points made were that Canada's tourist trade was a first potential in a4Iding to national in- corne and with it went a first ob- ligation to overcome highway traffic hazards. The Speaker The meeting was arranged as, "Attendance Day" and president Mel Dale gave way to chairman Howard Bickle for the order of business, He made a stirring ap- peal ta try to win top place in the district. Past president Geo. W. James introduced Mr. Janes as a former speaker at the club and an expert in Industrial and Govérn- mental Public Relations. Head of Public Relations Services Ltd., In- ner Court, 33 Scott St., Toronto, Mr. Janes recently returned from Florida andi other coastal states where he conducted an exhaustive survey of Tourist Trade and High- way Safety in behaîf of the Prov- ince of Ontario. Research lIn U.S.A. Suggesting the Audybon Socie- ty which marks the migration of ENNISKILLEN Measuring this patential in the numbers that will enter Canada almost voluntarily the net ex- change in dollars will run to more than $250 millions. With Canada geared to an austerity prograr to recover a short position of some $750 millions in US. exchange, it was the part of wisdom to do everything possible to expand this tourist trade. Reliance on the Marshall Plan and a falling gold export, left a balance of some $425 'millions to make up to re- store the balance. The speaker suggested tbat a real drive for more tourists could take care af tbis deficiency. Canada bas seen the U.S. tour- ist traffic increase year by year for tbe past 25 years but sti]l some people are ili-informed about it and many complain of the shopping congestion created by the visitors. Some don't like Americans but they don't dislike American money. But the values was invited to return again to ad- dress the club'. Business President Mel Dale reported on the Rotary ice show in Maple Leaf Gardens featuring Barbara Ann Scott and called for cars to take 12 Bowmanville Boy Scouts to the Saturday night show. Jack Eastaugh received a nice compli- ment for providing a lacquered, brass-bound case as a receptacle for members' Rotary coat-buttons. Lou Dippeil got a big hand for the excellence of the High School Cadet Corps on parade and presi- dent Dale assured bis colleagues that the next inspection, 1949, wvould take place in the new Bow- back the present drive for funds.

Liiied Phone 715 - Bowmanville Everyone Benefits * Everyane in Canada benefits ir from the tourist trade, said the 1 speaker. Ontario gets about 60 id per cent of the total U.S. dollars )f spent by tourists in Canada, and ýd with a potential of mare than $400 :e millions annually, Ontario can :e well afford ta advertise ta get ber Sestimated share of that buge sum. -In order ta improve accommoda- tion for U.S. visitors the Ontario gavernment bas placed camps and resorts under licence ta live up ta unifarm standards. Another fines gesture can be undertaken. That is for man on the street ta step up ta tbe US. motorist, shake bands and offer any assistance possible. It's a fine tbing ta be so welcomed. Traffic Safety Turning ta Traffic Safety Mr. Janes quated figures and produc- ed a cbart showing highway fatal- ities and injuries over a period of years. He told of the education- ai steps taken in the U.S.A. ta cape witb this problem and a like campaign developing in Ontario. The following figures for 19~41 and 1947 show to, wbat extent Ontario has met this problem in a general way. Ontario Tmaffic Accidents Deatbs in 1941 were 801, in 1947 tbey were 734; injuries, 14,275 and 13,056; property damage $2,766,- 846 and $5,241,819. Factors in On- taria's accident picture: Licensed drivers in 1946 were 986,773, in 1947 were 1,144,291. Registered vebicles, 739,194 and 796,946. Miles travelled, 5,429,000,000 and 6,726,000,000. In the first tbree months of 1941 there were 155 deaths and in the first tbree months of 1948, only 86. In terms of percentages the 1948 figures are down 15 per cent framn 1947 and 45 per cent from 1941. Wbich is encouraging improvement but flot yet good enough. Mr. Janes closed his in- formative address by suggesting means wbereby local organiza- tions can assist the government in an educational campaign ta lessen the incidence of higbway accidents. To fix greater attention on the obligation of local bodies ta spread tbe gospel of traffic safety, Mr. Janes told that the month of September, annually, for many years was the month wben acci- dents ta children in traffic reacb- ed bighest numbers.
