Rn EL - AAP ATR Forecast Bigger Tourist Traffic In Canada For 1939--Travel Bureau Chief Predicts Gain Although Canada's tourist (raffic during the present season had shown a decrease compared with that of 1937, the tourist industry had, "within the last 12 months, displayed a greater resistance to the current recession than any oth- er Industry being operated within the country," D. Leo Dolan, chief of the Canadian Travel Bureau said last week. "Despite the fact that traffic this year in Canada was not as great as a year ago, I venture the prediction, ' now, that our tourist industry in 1938 will show a monetary value of approximately $270,000,000," he said in an address before the annual meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade. More Automobiles Coming The Travel Bureau head esti- mated the decrease was about five per cent, for the first eight months of 1938 compared with the corre- sponding period of the previous year. The total of 3,019,875 auto- mobiles which entered the country this season, however, was an in- crease of almost eight per cent, over 1936.

Double Highway From Toronto To Windsor Is Mentioned By Highways Min- ister--Super Road Would Avoid Big Centres [n Windsor for a tew hours on his way to Sault Ste. Marie, Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario Minister of Highways {says the Windsor Star) confirmed reports as to plans in mind for a double-stripped mod- ern highway to carry the immense trafic moving eastward from the border towards Toronto. While he was reluctant to commit himself as to the definite time 'it will be completed, or the definite route to be taken, he said that the heavy trafic demands attention. Asked as to whether or not the new highway would follow the ex- isting route, Mr. McQuesten re- plied: Avoid Population "Generally speaking, the policy will be to keep off the existing roads. To change the rights-of-way from a 66-foot to a 200-foot allow- ance, moving houses, etc., would up- get everything. "And it {8 not desirable that great trunk roads should be through centres of population. The tenden- cy is to avold them." Will Abandon Portions Much of the existing No. 2 route does not lend itself to the pattern to be followed in a modern high. way, he pointed out. Early pave- ments in the province followed, to a considerable extent, the old set- tlers' roads, with their twists and turns. When the new highway is com- pleted, the abandoned portions of the old road will revert to local use, becoming again community roads, rather than through high ways, he suggested.

The government should give thought to ways and means of as- sisting the farmer who is hard hit by the cumpulsory pasteurization law. It has been suggested that the government should establish pasteurization plants for the con- venience of the farmer so that he could have the milk pasteurized at a nominal cost. That would tend to help the small producer } Recovers Medal He Lost In War KINGSTON; Ont.-- William Bellinger, veteran of the Boer War and World War, proudly displayed this week a medal he lost in France more than twenty years ago.

HIT-RUNNERS IN 1888 Our sentimental fondness for "the good old times"----currently referred to as 'the horse and buggy days"--received something of a shock when we read the sub- joined new item in the "50 Years Ago" column on this page on Wednesday: "A man and wom- an driving on Ontario street ran over a child causing serious in- jury. The couple drove right on without stopping to enquire what the injuries were." Evidently hu- man nature hasn't changed with the years.

Parade By Elizabeth Eedy A ROYAL VISIT: It is some- thing to be thrilled about that the King and Queen are coming to Canada next year. Something that has never happened before in our lifetime. A marvellous gesture of good feeling between" Great Britain and the United States will be their visit to President Roosevelt. In- cidentally it will give the Euro- pean diztators ample food for re- flection. Only one thing about their trip to Canada that disappoints us -- they are not bringing the little princesses with them. ---- DAYLIGHT SAVING: We're back at it again, Daylight saving and the Capadian farmer, A cou- ple of weeks ago in this column we asked to be enlightened. Why don't farmers want daylight sav- ing? Here are two suggestions that have come in. Firstly, a farmer must wait till the dew has dried each day before he can go to work on the land--if he gets up by daylight time, it means he has an extra hour to put in, waiting for the fields to dry. Secondly, since the farmer works by the sun, he finishes his chores by the sun, doesn't get into town to do his shopping till they are done (in- advertent rhyme). If the town is running on daylight saving, Mr, Farmer then arrives to make his purchases just as the stores are being locked up for the night. Very interesting arguments, those, But we still wonder how the entire continent of Europe can go on Summer Time for six months every year, and never a sqawk from anybody! ------ MORE BLACKMAIL: Great Britain doesn't like Hitler's sug- gestion that she limit her air force to dne-third the size of Germany's. Can't blame her for not liking it, but what can she do abouv it? Turn Hitler down flat? It must be remembered that Great Britain in 1935 asked Ger- many to limit her navy to one- third the siza of the British, and was accepted, If Britain now re- fuses to accept a percentage limi- tation in the field of air arma- ments, German denunciation of the 1985 naval treaty would be an unpleasant consequence, And the British Government heads know it. Germany could begin at once building new types of ships which would render whole sections of the British Navy obsolete. -- 10,000 "VOLUNTEERS": Con- siderable cause for rejoicing was felt in some quarters over the withdrawal by Mussolini last month of 10,000 "volunteers" from Spain. It was hailed as a peace move of the first magnitude, Not taken into account was the number of Italian 'volunteers' still left in Spain (some say it touches 80,000). Again, who were the 10,000?

Fresh troops may replace them in Spain at any moment. --Q-- THE 'WEEK'S QUESTION: What is the "Rosenberg Plan," and why is Europe afraid of it? Answer: It is a plan of cam- paign followed by Germany which calls for the Hitlerization of the Continent, the formation of a Nazi "Continental Empire" of 100,000,000 people. The plan prescribes the liquidation of Switzerland, the seizure of Silesia, the disintegration* of Belgium, the incorporation of Scandinavia within the "Empire." It claims the Baltic States, Flanders and Lor- raine for Germany. United, this empire (according to the plan) will proceed to its second task-- the conquest of Russia and the road to Asia. Prisoners Try "Noise Strike' Three transients have found out that a jail isn't the place to create a disturbance. Awaiting the arrival of Magistrate J. B, Hopkins, a trio in Fort Erie, Ont., start- ed a "noise strike" and they banged their steel cots with such terrific force agdinst the bars, ceiling and floor that: residents and merchants re- siding in the vicinity of the jail complained. One man was sentenced to a total of four months, while the two Hamilton youths re- ceived three months each.
