CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 2, 1958 Foreign Travel Expenditure Doubled Since: 1950 MONTREAL, Sept. 24 — Fol- Acwlng a trend which began in 1950, total tourist spending in Canada In 1958 fs Mkely to be Jess than spending of Canadians visiting other countries, accord- ing to the September issue of Bank of Montreal's Business Re- view, just issued. Although Canada enjoyed a Zavorable balance of tourist spending from 1924, the year in which statistics on travel out: days were first published, until 1850, each of the last eight years has seen Canadians abroad spen- ding more than visitors to this country. es Further, this deficit has grown each: year, the B of, M says. That such a pronounced reversal has come about is ex- Biained by the extremely sharp rise in Canadian foreign travel expenditures, which have more than doubled since 1950, A total of 27 million individ-| ual border crossings from Cana- da to the U.S, was made by Can- adians in 1957, The larger part remainder were concentrated .in of these were for short visits — often of less than.a day — al- though some 4.4 million visits to the U.S. were for periods ex- ‘ceeding 48 hours, and these ac- counted for over 85 per cent of the total spending in the U.S. by Canadians, The review also comments} on a survey conducted by the the border states except for five per cent who went to Californ- fa,” the B of M says, Suprisingly enough, only about 40 per cent of ,Canadian tourists said recreation was the ‘main.purpose of the trip. Over a third were going to the U.S. pri- marily to visit relatives or friends, while business trips and Canadian in 1957 to determine the nature and destin- ation of trips made by Canadians to the US, This survey showed that “more than a quarter of Cana- dians on trips of more than two for approximately one-sixth of the total trips made. With a view to balancing the travel deficit by drawing more visitors to Canada, the gov- ernment also conducted a survey of it visitors, days to the US. the State of New York as their ‘des- tination; Florida and the State of Washington each accounted for a little over a tenth and the The WeaTMOUNT Superb solid wood console, tastefully simple in hand-rubbed Walnut, Mahogany, Light Oak, Swedish Walnut, or Autumn Leaf Mahogany finishes, Features include 21” picture, performance-proven 22-tube Electro- Matic chassis and optional UKE. converter, “New short neck 90-degree Picture tube gives cabinet moder slim look, —————— RICK'S TLV.

During the course of this survey it was found that “more than four-fif- ths of the returns contained fav- orable comments, notably on the scenery and the hospitality of the Canadian people.” Typical complaints, however, included reference to the condi- tion of some highways, annoy- ance on finding the U.S. dollar subject to discount here, high prices and occasional reports of unfortunate experlences: in res- taurants. Many comments were, however, favorable, Posing the question, “What. steps can be taken to improve Canada’s competitive position?”, the review says, “much may be accomplished by informnig the U.S. motorist in northern states — whe is within reasonable rea- ch of Canada —of the attractions this country has to offer.” Further, says the review, “improved roads, increased ad- vertising, and development | of facilities of national and provin- clal parks will undoubtedly aid the influx of tourists to Canada.” Concluding, the B of M re- view says, “Perhaps the most significant statistic is that the great majority of U.S, motorists visiting. Canada last year had beeri here before. The major pre- blem would therefore seem -to be to persuade more residents of the United States to make their first visit to Canada. For it would appear that, once he com- es, the U.S. visitor is favorably impressed with what he, finds.” Thousands Of Lives Lost In Grossing ‘Accidents Each Year Collisions between - automo- biles and railroad trains cost sev- eral thousands of lives annual: warns the Health League of Can- ada, The national death toll from these accidents during last year probably was much greater than that from polio or any childhood contagious disease. ‘Many of us cross several rail- road tracks each day in driving/| to and from work or on business, Unless a train is coming, we may not. be required legally. to: take cautious getion such.as - a subtle hazard develops. -that makes us biome more and more Jax. when. capproachi whatever td Tearn whether a train is coming, and others are so tardy in their watchfulness that’ they’ couldn't possibly stop if a train were at hand. Check your driving. Many people’ become involved in acci- dents because they feel “it can't happen to me,” “Obviously, the person who is lax in watchfulness when approaching a railroad crossing throws his life into the hand of circumstance, for a col- lision can -happen to him. The safe course is to build a regwar habit pattern of care in approach- ing railrogd crossings. This means that the driver forces himself to slow down as he approaches the crossing, observes whether the warning signal is operating, and looks both ways ‘to determine whether a train is approaching. len such precautions be-, come ingrained into his driving, won't happen to him,” Building Supplies OGLOW BROS.
