The letters being sent out by .the Kiwanis Club to the 1900 other clubs reads in part as follows:â€" Timmins Kiwanis Club, at the sugâ€" gestion of Kiwanian E. H. King, has undertaken a plan that may prove of _great service in encouraging tourists _ from the United States to visit Canada this year. It is generally recognized that a big tourist trade this year will be of very special assistance to Canada at this time. It will increase the friendliness between the nations, make for better understanding and coâ€"operaâ€" tion, while its effect upon the exchange situation and other financial problems is very apparent. Dominion and proâ€" vincial governments have been seeking every possible means to increase the tourist trade ithis year as a genuine war service. The chief difficulty is to make the appeal personal to United States fricnds. The plan suggesteq by Kiwanian King is that the local Kiwanis send out a personal friendly j letter to each one of the 1900 Kiwanis clubs in the United States, asking that â€" the matter be brought to the personal l attention of every member. Other Kiwanis clubs in Canada are being asked to adopt the same plan. .
