The two men urg- ed us to be curteous and' friend- ly hosts to visitors into our prov- ince. The pointed out that tourism is an income source of 11 billion dollars annually .in Ontario. As such, everyone should support the industry to cOntribute in their own small way to our economy. Slides showing the various sights of Moda were sho wn while Mr. Martin explained each scene. Also wesaw a film called "Winter in Ontario" which depicted winter activi- ties, in' particular, skiing in the province. It must ha,ve been most dis- appointing and embarassing• for the men to speak before us. It had to be the worst show of bad manners ever witnessed by our students. I just hope they don't judge our school and students by it.
