At a tourism conference in Toronto recently, experts concluded that tourists were staying away from Canada in droves because they found it too boring and expensive. expensive. In addition to that, they said, we don't have sufficient sufficient world class attractions, whatever that means. The people who would like to change all this have their eyes on one of the greatest tourism resources the world has ever known, namely the 100 million well-heeled Americans who live in states along the Canadian border. Now, I don't want to wish any Canadian industry industry ill, particularly in such a difficult economic period. But there are times when I think we're better off boring, over-priced and .without the so-called world class attractions. Take a look at Newport',' v Rhode Island, for example. Last summer it was the opposite of boring. It wasn't exactly cheap, but you got good value for money spent. And it'had two world class attractions when my wife and I were there: The America's Cup and the Wooden Boat Show. It also had enormous crowds, traffic that moved by the inch, no parking spaces, no beds for the night, and barely enough sidewalk space to breathe. I'm sure that the Newport Tourism Council-was rubbing its hands with glee, but I'll bet that the year-round residents of Newport were somewhat less enthusiastic. As a matter of fact, I know of at least one Newport lady who rented her house for the summer and fled to Georgian Bay. , t Is Canada really boring? I suppose it is if gambling casinos and Disneylands constitute someone's idea of a good time. But Canada is also clean, quiet and a good place to bring up children. It, is a place where you can take a stroll after supper without getting mugged. Is it over-priced? Sure it is. By and large, travellers in this country get charged more for less, even when you consider consider the U.SrCanadian exchange rates. But does the population as a whole really want an enormous influx of bodies? It seemed to me that our summers, for example, example, are short enough already. Do we really want to , share what little sun and warmth there is with a horde, of Winnebagos towing Hondas and outboards? One of the greatest things about this country, in my view, is that almost anyone can really be alone from time to „ time if he or she really tries. My wife and I know of a sandy strip of beach on Lake Ontario that the locals ignore because you have to put a canoe in the water and paddle for five minutes to get to it. Totally deserted. Just you and'the sun and the seagulls. But the tourists with Outboards aren't so dumb. They'd find it too. And goodbye solitude. I for one, cast my vote for maintain- ' ing the boredom and the high prices' East Central Farm Confemeces Planned Plaits are now finalized for the 1984 East Central Farm Conference. Five separate one-day sessions will be held in mid January and the Farm Women's Seminar is slated for the end of January.

Of 730 post-secondary graduates, 618 were looking for work. Of those 81 percent found employment. The positive numbers reflect an upturn in the economy, as well as additional effort being undertaken by the College's Placement Department. Mr. Gohm mentioned that Durham faculty members- and advisory committee members are a key to his area's success. He stressed' their important role in maintaining maintaining active contacts' in their fields, facilitating place- • ment of graduates. Glenn and his staff sent graduates a questionairre in September, and those who had not responded by late fall were contacted by phone 1 . This persistence whs effective, effective, because this year's placement report * represents 97 percent of Durham's,post- sècondary' graduates. Prospects were good < for * graduates of programs in Ap- pliecf -Arts, Busines's, Secretarial, Health Sciences and Technology. The number of graduates who said they returned to college or university university is 72 down slightly from 81 in the 1982 statistics. PATRICK G.
