TOURING IN NEW
BRUNSWICK
During the summer of 1922 the Pro
vines of New;Brunswick welcomed a
greator boot of tourist travellers than
it had.experienced since the days be-
fore tho war. By the lot of October it.
was, estimated that more than thlety
thousand tourists passed !Brough the
city of St. John alone by boat, trail
and motor, and up to that time more
thane, five thousand automobiles from
foreign points had registered at this
first New Brunswicic city,, The year
1922 marked the resumption of holiday
traffic on a scale'moro akin to the an-
nual pilgrimage before the eoutbrealt of
the war, and 1923 is expected to ex-
ceed this' substantially an set up a
new record for the Maritima Province,
• The variety of New Brunswick ap-
peal and attraction :s calculated to
lure tourists' bent on every roamer of
holiday, and there is the hlgehest j)i5ti-
fication for the r'emarkab'le papularitY
the province has won for itself with
the people of the United States. New
Brunswick's offerings to the holiday-
maker range ail the way trona the
roughest kind of woods' outing, in
primitive forest grandeur, with' the.
most superb blunting and fishing,
-through the various milder grades of
out -o' -door revels, to the' superb con -
fort of sumptuous modern hotels. Add
ed to these natural attractions is the
historic charm of the province as the
principal home of the United Empire,
Loyalists.
Good Highways and Roads.
The close proximity of the Maritime.
Province to the Republic, of course,
suggests at once a fairly substantial
volume of interchanging travel. Ex-
cellent
xcellent train and beat services facili-
tate this. One of the biggest factors,
however; in the encouragement of
travel from across the border, has
been the construction and systematic
maintenance of good highways and
roads'. Tete use of the automobile for
holidaying is. increasing annually at a
rapid rate, and New Brunswick has
every inducement in the way of roads
to offer the motorist.
According to the Secretary of the
New Brunswick Automobile Associa-
tion, New Brunswick was the first pro-
vince to take advantage of the Federal
aid offered for the construction of
highways, and though the bill .only
