Dear People:

and appreciation on behalf of the
people of this district, to all those
whom so kindly contributed to rhe

Many who received vegetables are

their appreciation as (they would wish

appearance of some sacks and par

supplies came from folk who had
little to give and out of their own
want they sent help to us. Many
noticed this and valued all the more
what they received. We tried to
ribute the goods fairly to all
families here.
We appreciated in your letter

you sent were not from a particular

As I travel about, I hear men and
women say, "Isn’t it wonderful that
the people of the east think so much

of food out 'here to us,” We assure
you that the people of Southern

The Obstinate Cough
That Keeps You Awake
It’s the cough that sticks; the cough that hangs on,
in. spite of what you. do to get rid of it that causes
the nerve and throat wracking coughing that keeps
you awake at night.Why not get a bottle of Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine
Syrup and see how quickly it will relieve this cough
ing condition.It loosens the germ carrying phlegm, soothes the
irritated membranes, strengthens the bronchial organs,
and when this is done there is no more lying awake
with the irritating cough.

. So that Our Visitors
wiU be Sorry to Leave”*
“If we are going to invite people to this country,
we must be honest with them . . . Courtesy costs
nothing and is one of our greatest tourist assets
. . . Let us so treat strangers within our gates
that it will be easy for them to come, pleasant for
them to stay, and difficult for them to leave.”
Rt. Hon. R. B. BENNETT, Prime Minister of Canada, to the Cana
dian Association of Tourist and Publicity Bureaus, November 6, J934.
% *
panada's tourist activities represent more than a great industry from
which everybody benefits. They provide an opportunity to create what the
Prime Minister has described as “that feeling of neighbourliness’ ’ which is
* such a vital factor in building up cordial relations within the family of nations.
J^or both these reasons, may I urge upon the people of Canada the im
portance of showing consideration, courtesy and honesty to guests 'of our
country? Let us all do those little acts of kindness which count for so much
when one travels in a strange land.
We have a beautiful country. We must keep it so. We want our visitors
to travel highways free from disfigurement, walk the streets of cities that
arc orderly and clean, and find at the end of every day’s travel an inviting
spot to rest. Canadians should turn their attention now to the important
work of preparing for next year’s, tourist season.
<tZTs a nation, we are advertising abroad the attractions of Canada as a
holiday land. We must see to it that our guests return home with only the
happiest recollections—and the determination to come back again and again,
should we forget, In planning our own vacations, that there are
beauties to discover and friendships to be made in our neighbouring prov
inces. We live in one Of the wotld’s most glorious playgrounds—-let us
learn to know better the rich variety of its travel attractions.
