province larehaving on its great tourist industry Are Quebec Ioudmouths scar ing tourists away is the questionand so tourist officials have issued an appeal to newspapers and air media to play down reports of trouble in Quebec in order to help the situation The appealis being directedto the wrong people The Quebec government and the federal members of parliament from that province should make the ap peal to the rowdy element of students separatists nationalists and other as sorted troublemakers there to exercise restraint in the interests of their own province The Quebec government could
