ONTARIO— THE 'TOURISTS' PARADISE
led in Ontario brings in extra revenue
in gasoline tax, in fishing and hunting
licenses — as well as in the less direct
but equally desirable business which
is made available to restaurant own-
ers, tourist camp operators, garages
and so on.
On a recent vacation we spent the
greater part of our time With Ameri-
can families who had rented cottages
in the Honey Harbour area. One of
the most impressive features about the
American visitors who come to our
Ontario playgrounds each year is that
they are no longer the typical brag-
garts we have heard so much about.
They are among, the finest people we
know and they have a genuine interest
and respect for Canada. It does the
heart good to hear them making plans
for future visits to our country —
-trips which will take them ever deepeK
into our woodland areas. They are
not critical of the hospitality they re-
ceive here and are therefore deserving
of the best.
In this province we still have a
long way. to go, notably in the quality
of meals which'are available to travel
leis, as was pointed out at the meet,.
ing of the Canadian Restaurant As-
sociation in April. Good meals are
never hard to find in Canadian, homes,
butptiblic eating places could well put
more imagination into'the preparation
of their Menus. .
Since Canadians spend many mil-
lions more in travel abroad than is
spent by visitors to this country, any
effort 'we can make to even the bal-
a.nce will be worth the trouble as far
as our general ,economy is concerned.
COMMON DISEASE
tide don't. do ,anything about it, we have
arl epidemic in no time.
Whether it has got to the epidemic
stag-e:inWinghain yet we don't know.
This week, however, ewe have heard
of too' much indifference op•the part, , Of top :many about the coming Vron-
tier Day, celebrations.
We've heard citizens, who would
swear they didn't have the disease, say
that you can't expect this year's cele-
bration to be as good .as it Was last
year, or that it is ,not Worth all the
fuss and bother for three days.
They're, just indifferent, and, they
don't know that they are passing up
the cure.
Yes, perhaps our friend was right
in-classing-indifference as the greatest
social.. evil -of today, just the same it
is a. good thing to know that right,
here in Wingham we've enough "doc-
tors", in the form of energetic cum-
munity-conscious citizens to cure in-

Our friend said that in his opinion
it •was' none of these ;things.., The
greatest social evil, he said, was in-
difference. Too many folks today;-are
jndifferent to the well-being of others,
indifferent to religion; apathetic as

loyal to employers and even friends.
We meet with just this kind of
"social evil every day, this indifference;
this "couldn't care less!" attitude, this
"leave it to the other guy'', approach.

;.-But,the. two, Outlets for sur-
plus funds would only put more spend-
ing money. in the hands of consumers
ar0..this.;would only add to inflation-
ary pressures which the government
and' the central bank authorities in
,Canada have been trying to check. The
*third outlet would not ,only do this
same thing but would raise political
quesfrons, since family allowances tend
to benefit the French-speaking com-
munity with its high birth rate more
than the rest of the community.
Canada is struggling against mainly
the kind of inflationary pressures that
come with a, rapidly expanding econ-
. only based on great natural wealth
and ready markets for its raw mater-
ials both at home and abroad. The
government may be worrying about
some aspects of this boom but it will
be hard to make many Canadian con-
\ sumers do so just now.
LET'S ALL GET INTO
THE SWIM .
The committee which 'has planned
the program for Frontier Days has
missed a good bet. They should have
included a cross-Maitland swim, ,open
only to those who are -fully clad in
ten-gallon hat and buckskins, Every-
body else is doing it. Why can't we?
With swimmers diving in off every
pier from take 'Ontario to the Straits
of Yuan de Fuca the public has com-
pletely lost track of who is swimming
where and what daily rievvspa,per is
backing the latest entry.
