Oh, there were quite a few American licenses around in July and Aug- ust. Everybody thought tourists Were a 'good thing and something should be ;done about them. A few people with large houses and sniall incmnes, like my mother, put Up "Tourist Accommodation" 'signs and: were not only . flal3er- gasted but delighted to rent huge 'maculate rooms, with 'breakfast, .for the iMprobable sum of ,$2. But on the wholethe tourist bus- iness ivas just a little extra gravy. ugh the summer. The merchants lounged in the doorways of their' quiet. stores, waiting' for 6 o'clock The eorvrne small around, rot000wdn, sdorotvs could get home, gulp supper and get to the bali1 park. • , • .

The harmonious jingle of the cash register is off- set by the discordant scream of aching feet. It is pure bonanza for the skilled Men of the, town and district. •El- •ectricians and plumbers, carpent- ers and painters, who hada dim time of it all winter, suddenly find themselves courted like • • courte- sans •Aside from Me •economic im-, • pact, the tourist season has• an emotional effect on • the small town.

Thousands of cute kids, brown and round. Thousands of. their sisters and mothers, in skin- tight shorts and beautiful tans and • smoked glasses. Thousands of their fathers, in hairy calves and pot bellies and crazy hats. • .By this, tine .you can't find a Place to park, shopping takes three tiles as long and you can scarcely cross the street for con- stant, -crawling traffic.' And by this time the tourist town has al- most lost its identityand individ- uality. : . As August nears its end there is a little sadness in the air. New and old 'friends among the camp- ers begin heading out of town with their. sun -blackened 'darken and their piled -high cars. . • • When Labour Day. arrives and the avalanche again becomes a trickle, the tourist town becomes a town again and not just „a shop- ping centre. The citizens slow down,: stretch, their aching backs, look around and see their friends. • Within a week they have for- gotten the scramble and the rush and the sheer foolishness of mak- ing money, and, full of renewed interest in„ their towiLfind them- selves, get down to something serious, like planeieg a hunting trip . or having a party. • ' The tourist season . is a ' lot of fun.
