8The Canadian Statesman, 8Bowmanville, May 17, 1978 Section Two T ourism Is important to Region Gerald Jackson (Ieft), president of the Great Pine Ridge Tourist Council, explains the importance of regional tourism as he sees it to Gordon Smith, M.P.P. Simcoe East, while Jean Smith (background) and Joan Jackson (foreground) listen. This conversation took place at the council's annual dinner held Wednesday night at the Port Darlington Marina Hotel. Mr. Jackson, provincial secretary to the Minister of Industry and Tourism, was the guest speaker. Area Won't Rleap Bi leneffits without Hnard W"ork, Tourism Council Told Tourism is the second largest industry ini Ontario, accounts for between eigbt to 10 per cent of all empioyment ia the province, and if the Great Pine Ridge Tourist Council wants to reap some of the benefits of this, it's going to have to womk bard and capitalize on all the opportun- ities. Such was the message delivemed to the couacil at its 2lst annual dinner meeting Wednesday night at the Port Darlington Marina Hotel by Gordon Smith, member of Iprovincial parliament for Simcoe East. Mm. Smith, parliamentamy assistant to the Minister of Industmy and Tourism, spoke on 'Tourism-- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.' S"Futurists, such as Herman ~.Kahn, inbis think tank on the Hudson River in New York State, predictlhat by the year 2000, tourism will be one of the largest industries in the world,"' said Mm. Smith. "Let's ensure that we get out share of the business in Ontario. " In a speech littered with witticisms and quotations from the works of Stephen Leacock, Mm. Smith explamned ffhe government's position on the industry, problems facing it, and he offered some suggestions as to the direction in which solutions to the problems might be found. "Times have been tough,'" he said, I'by a d3llam a quart as W.C. Fields used to say. There bas been a falling off in the number of American visitors coming to- Canada and Ontario. Our tourism deficît nationally last year was about $1.7 billion. Howevem, I don't believe that there is much point in cmying the blues and this isn't the occasion for it. According to Smith, the industry needs new directions and new initiatives in order to overcome the problems it is currentiy facing. These, he said, shouid come fmom govenment aad industry. Together, the two must seek positive approaches to remedy the situation, he stated. Touists pump almost $36 million mnto the economy of the Great Pine Ridge area, which ruas from the outskîrts cf Toronto to Trenton. More tban 60, people attended the dinner, heard Mm. Smith's talk and received it wammly. The council also held a short business meeting after dînner. 7 Clinic Pharmacy Bowmanviilie Professiona I Building 222 King Street East Telephone 623-7611 NaePharmacists Ne eMc Lean - Nancy Coffey Weparticipafe in: -Ontario Drug Benef Ifs for Senior Citizens -Blue Cross as weIl as most prescription plans -DELIVERY SERVICE - The meeting saw the electien cf directors, thbe banding eut of an achievemênt award and an update fromn the management committee on the couacil's plans for the comiag year and its achieve- ments in the past year.

Trees are easy te plant. Just take a new, tmee that you bave just bought fmom, the nursery or garden centre, they are eitbem bailed or are potted and wili have some soul arouad the roots which you can just slip inte the hole. Check the soul before you buy a tmee and see whetber it is dlay or whether it is a good sandy loam, since most trees like te grow in a leose soul, if the soul is liamd dlay, you sbould remove the soul te a deptb and width twice the size lof the reot ball, then buy some new topsoil, which is niow available in smali quantities sucb as bushel bags, then place some of tbe new soul on the bottom of the tree and then fi in arouad the tmee witb balance of the soul, then add water wîth a moot stimulant such as Up start and the tree will be ready te gmow. Wbat te plant...this will depend on what yen Want te the tree te, do, for shade or ornameatai pumposes. For shade tree may 1 suggest the large family cf Maples which have bad quite a comeback in the past two yeams, in the red variety I would suggest the Royal Red, in the green variety you can plant the Norway mapie om the softer maple, Silver Queen, and la the twe-toae mapie, which is red and green plant the new variety Deborab, other shade trees which do well la this area are the Linden trees, the Shade master locust or the yellow ieaved Sunburst Lecust. Ia the ornamentai varieties, the first I would àcse are the different -Jloweriag crabs, wbicb come la a variety of reds, pinks, red and green foliages and doa't forget the beautiful pink flowering cherry, Kwanzan cherry with a med flush on the leaves, and aise the mountain ash family will make an excellent, dwarf onamental tree, witb its orange and red bernies. In the weeping varieties, try the weeping Siberean Peashrub, very hardy and a good onamental specimen in the front flower bed, also the weeping form of the flowering crab will give you a littie more height with its lovely reddish leaves and red-pink flowers. For a good assortment just eall your local nur 1sery or Garden Centre. Until next week, happy gardening. OBITIJAR Mi ELIZABETH PURDY Born and educated in Bob caygeon, M.
