out Ontario.
"You can keep him here, and
keep him on the move, by know-
ing and advertising your own
attractions, activities, and events
and those of your neighbors, and
by having material at hand to
point out where to go and what
to do," he remarked,
Noting the many summer and
winter attractions of the Grand
Bend area, Mr. Auld said the
resort was blessed with "a little
bit of everything".
"I urge you to make the most
of what you have, entertain your
visitors, and then encourage them
to see more of the province.
Keep them moving and keep them
in Ontario," he concluded.
Prior to his speech, Mr. Auld

these people were the "econom-
ically most significant" tourists
as they buy land, improve it, and
pay taxes on it and then stay in
the area far longer than the
average tourist and also attract
other visitors to the area as their
guests.
"At the same time, the cot-
tager makes few demands upon
the social services of local gov-
ernment in this area," he advised
the audience.
lie said that with this type of
tourist plunked in their laps, the
Chamber should seek to attract
the more transient, short-term
visitors if they hoped to see
tourism grow in the resort,
"To accomplish this," he
stated, "you must be prepared
to supplement your existing tour-
ist attractions with quality, acco-
mmodation, food and service and
also be willing to promote your
area,"
He said that to do this, one of
the most rewarding methods was
to boost regional promotions.
He said his department expects

Grand Bend to make an effort to

Lovely Gifts for Ladies
At their annual meeting last
week, members of the Grand
Bend and Area Chamber of Com-
merce approved a brief to have
school opening delayed until the
Wednesday after Labor Day as
opposed to the present practice
of the fall term opening on the
Tuesday after the last summer
holiday.
Secretary Joe E. Gunn pre-
sented the plan and after its
approval It was decided to for-
ward copies of the brief to the
department of education and the
department of tourism and In-
formation.
The brief noted that the extra
day would bring in thousands of
extra tourist dollars and it would
result in being one of the biggest
days of the year for the tourist
industry.
present, it explained, school
children have to start leaving
resorts on Labor Day or earlier
to get back to their homes in
time for school opening. This
forces some tourist operations
to be terminated or drastically
reduced on Labor Day.
It was reported that it would
also reduce some of the heavy
traffic on Labor Day as people
would take different times to
return home.
The Hon, James Auld, minister
of tourism, was on hand at the
meeting, but did not make refer-
ence to the brief in his address.
He said it was a pleasure to
be at the resort because he felt
the people were the real "grass
roots" of the industry. Mr. Auld
also noted that no other com-
munity in Ontario better fits the
description of a tourist town than
Grand Bend.
"Your whole economy is based
on tourism and it establishes
the fact that Grand Bend is a
one-industry village, which in
turn reinforces my contention
that tourism is an industry, to
be reckoned with in the life of
this province."
The Brockville MPP said there
were probably those in the re-
sort who would just as soon see
the visitors pack up and take
off, but he quickly added that
there were a great many com-
munities which would welcome
such an influx with open arms.
The youthful-looking cabinet
minister remarked that tourism
is not something solid you can
put your hands on, but never-
theless, its existence cannot be
denied.
He backed up this contention
by advising that 300,000 jobs in
Ontario depend on tourism and out
of every $1 in disposable in-
come, 10 cents is devoted to
travel and recreation,
"It is estimated that tourism
will contribute about $1,500,000,-
000 to the Ontario economy this
year," he explained, adding that
the province's ratio of tourists
to population is the highest in
the world.
Mr. Auld said that while the
members of the C. of C were
more aware of the importance
of tourism than most people,
he explained that "the sooner
others woke up to this fact, the
greater the returns for all of
us".
The tourism department head
said he was impressed to learn
that as many as one-half of all
Grand Bend visitors were the
long-staying spenders--or the
