Invite Americans, To Visit Canada This Summer Pormerl Canada. had an income raceme of some $300 million a year from Am- erican tourists and visitors. Dist: year, with Canada at war, reports. spread throughout the United States. that citizens coming to Canada would have diffieulties at the border that, • gasoline was rationed and food was. hard to get. As a result fewer tour.- 'ists came here and the revenue drop- ped to about $80 million . Canada needs American dollars more than ever before and efforts are being 'made to encourage more Americans. to visit Canada this summer and off- set the unfavourable publicity. Mr. A. H. Wilford, of Torontoi working with the Department, was in, Clinton recently planning for a Horne:: coning Week" in Huron County. Mist. week is not to be confused with am 01d Boys' Reunion dressed up with parades and entertainments, but a;. week set aside to bring back Caned-• ians now in the States and their - friends to visit the scenes of their youth and know that during that. week especially they can meet old friends and associates. The idea is appealing to the tourists associations. and is being whole-heartedly backed by the weekly press. The first of July_ is a Tuesday and a holiday in Canada, The 4th of July is a Friday and a holiday in the United States. Thus American vis- itors have a long week -end holiday - M prospect, and it is hoped to enduee them to spend it in Canada, The plan calls for every county in Ontarioto co-operate with e vrt It their own hone -comings and already 41 prov- ' incial :municipalities hiave endorsed the scheme.

Invite Americans, To Visit Canada This Summer Pormerl Canada. had an income raceme of some $300 million a year from Am- erican tourists and visitors. Dist: year, with Canada at war, reports. spread throughout the United States. that citizens coming to Canada would have diffieulties at the border that, • gasoline was rationed and food was. hard to get. As a result fewer tour.- 'ists came here and the revenue drop- ped to about $80 million . Canada needs American dollars more than ever before and efforts are being 'made to encourage more Americans. to visit Canada this summer and off- set the unfavourable publicity. Mr. A. H. Wilford, of Torontoi working with the Department, was in, Clinton recently planning for a Horne:: coning Week" in Huron County. Mist. week is not to be confused with am 01d Boys' Reunion dressed up with parades and entertainments, but a;. week set aside to bring back Caned-• ians now in the States and their - friends to visit the scenes of their youth and know that during that. week especially they can meet old friends and associates. The idea is appealing to the tourists associations. and is being whole-heartedly backed by the weekly press. The first of July_ is a Tuesday and a holiday in Canada, The 4th of July is a Friday and a holiday in the United States. Thus American vis- itors have a long week -end holiday - M prospect, and it is hoped to enduee them to spend it in Canada, The plan calls for every county in Ontarioto co-operate with e vrt It their own hone -comings and already 41 prov- ' incial :municipalities hiave endorsed the scheme.
