JUNE 18th, 1936 4 HOOEY TO 'SPEND • 7. - Experts in the tourist business , have placed the amount spent in Canada last year at . 202,000,000 dol. . lars. The greater siert of_that sum is credited to visi.. tors from the United States, most of whom travelled by cars. There was an. increase of forty-four end it hill mMion dollar's in 1935' oyer 1934, and it is predicted that 1936 will see an even greater increase. There is some justification for this prediction; as most of the ocean going steamers are already booked full to the middle of July. There must therefore be money to spend on this Continent. All the travelled -minded Americans are not counting. on a °sea voyage during 1936, but thouunds of them are looking to Canada for & change and recreation. Goderich; bang' socloseto the border, can secure a good Percentage of :that business by "dressing -up" municipally and individually. Every little improvement helps. .The men can show how limber they are after • bowling or golfing. by Mowing their lawns, weeding their gardens, and keeping 'things generally tidy and clueed-up. ,Certain vacant Properties would ee im. proved if run • over with a Massey -Harris mower, and some of the boulevards might be subjected to the same treatment. A few seats, with becks, on the banks of the hike and river, would enable people to enjoy the 'Athens sun -sets even more than they do under present clicuminces, • • • • • People are moving from place to place on holiday trips more than they ever did before, good roads and automobiles being largely responsible for these migra- tions. They are alio restless and -looking for something different. The consequence is the conditions that pre - veiled 20, 80, 40 or 50:years ago will not appeal to the present generationolear as those conditions may be to these who *have spent -their live* in these' to them, . precious inirroundingsOf course they are often disaP- point* when they get "something different," but Iri the 'Meantime, that spirit of restlessness is abroad and It must be catered to whether we like it or not An occasional slisikelip it good for any institution, and - this seems to. be the logical moment to give those few odes touches to keep Ceoderich before the people of this continent 1.litureeeittreit be expeeted to do everything.

Tim Peeetenguishene Hereld hae decided to cease publication, because as it Stites, it was not receiving eutiletent advertising• sups port or enough paid-in.advance,eubscriptions, to cover the test of production. Theelast six years have been disastrous for a number ef' both city and town' papers, and The Herald will be mined from the desks of a jot of other offices Penetanguishene is one of the:oldest towns in .Ontariu; at one time it was the only place of much impcetance —north of Toronto, -owing to the location of a garrison _for British troops at that point There are therefore many hietorital fusociations connected 'with the town, its Roman Catholic Memorial Church being one of the *finest in that part of Ontario. • iSeveral vessels, relics of the war of 1812 are sunk in the lieneteriguisheree Harbor, and many British soldiers and their families.* are burled in one of its cemeteries. that on "The Liners," flut Penetanguishene, without The Herald, will not be the sone. tNewispaper friends of the proprietor will tope that 'economic conditions will- warrant an early Vereurietion.

In Japan,* man is eon. sidered distinctly young at sixty, jut at the right age for responsibilities at seventy, and at his beat at eighty. But the youthful Japanese are now demanding a place in the sun, and men in their forties and fifties are gradually' getting into official positions Ontario has, in Premier Ilephurn, the youngest premier in its history, and the recently elected Opposition Leader, Hon. Earl Rowe, is -still below fifty, Two other Canadian Proviii- cos have the .youngest premiers' ever to accept those pesitionsle the; rapid age, it is only fair that young men should have their chance.

If they are out of employment, they have less excuse for patronizing these midnight affairs, beanie theyunfortunately for' them- selves, can dance all day and six other nights in the week, if they feel so disposed.
