of the tourist season in Canada when not only thousands of Americans will be crossing the border but also many Canadians will be on the road seeing their own country sound prin ciple or business building is to provide reliable product of worthwhile service at fair price When such product or service is marketed in courteous man ner more pleasant and rewarding ex perience for all should result People both young and old in all walks of life react favorably to court eous treatment How many of us remem ber businessman in our parents or grandparents time who invariably walked to the door and opened it for his customers asks The Canada Trust Bulletin He found the time to be cour teous Courtesy is an important and val uable asset It cannot be monopolized by any one group but it would appear at times that it could be used to better advantage in many of our personal and business relationships And so we come to the summer and tourists Would this not be an excellent time to make conscious effort to be more courteous not oniyon our high ways but in our stores and places of business It takes so little time and of fort and the results can be farroaching On the subject of tourism we are go ing to reproduce herean article written for the monthly bulletin of Barrie Chamber of Commerce by Earle Lit tle manager Canadian imperial Bank of Comoros local branch because it tells exactly What we had in mind about travelling Mr Little writes We are all aware without resorting to statistics reporting the number of times counting meter is tripped at border crossing point or to state in heads the number of persons involved or as proportion of the national in come or the national debt the dollars they spend that tourists are substantial contributors to our well being Nor do tourists needto come from abroad allyl on adequate causemany of our own pet ay decide to seek out unfamiliar are and thust we derive double bounty dI It is significant that only 38 of 113 new industries established in Ontario during 1960 were located Metropolitan Toronto Except for couple in the Greater Windsor area all the rest were placed in smaller cities towns and even villages Nodoubt thiswas to obtain favorable labor situation or rather to avoid unfavorable conditions Most of us on occasion have been tourists Without plan we have stumbled on many interesting and relatively un known places think we must admit however that there isusuallysome well publiclredattraction in any givenares which we will decide is must Travelling at random most of us stop in place which presents an attractive appearance as we approach it and whose margins are clean and unclut tered Barrie is such place let us keep it that way Tewwho travel and not the least of these campers in casual attire have not reserved few dollars for purchase of items to take home from distant places Where do we shop on such occasions the answer is obvious in the places where the shops are attractive where merchandise is well displayed and where in general an atmosphere or well being prevails We can all think of the towns and cities which in our minds fit the description How do we compare Once inside the shops have we not responded favorably to the kind but not too aggressive interest of the sales clerk When it is obvious friendly curiosity concerning us and the area in which we live is usually well received and the extraattcntion little flattering Deft handling of the thorny problem or air feiences in the value of money is re qulred and one need not forego the difference if diplomacy is used ty sums forgiven When we return home what do we best remember the unusual the inter esting highlights of recreation of hist ory and of architecture We take pictur es describe and advertise among our friends and arouse in them desire to follow our route The preservation of historic sites the improvement and con servation of natural features of water ways and the provision of reliable infor mation in pamphlets at information centres and the like concerning our area will contribute much to its popu larlty We think you wfll agreathat all of these ai the ordinary things towhich your Chamber of Commerce and you as member are dedicated eqd Industry By no means were all the new indust ries in the province established by Uni ited states capital Canadians have been showing faith in theirown country by investing in

StxAndrews Choir under the direction of Morgan had reached high state of efficiency and justly deserved all the encomiums showered uponrit Both the Orillia Times and Oriiiis Packet gave high praise to the Barrie choir and Mr Morgan whose beautiful tenor voice was heard to good advantage TheNewsLetter stated that the at tendance for the choir concert was 400 in spite of the heat The whole pro gram wes excellent and much appreciat ed by the audience gt ward law enforcement But we have had evidence of thatsttitude recently We have heard people who should know bet ter say police should show discretion There is place for discretion the court It is the responsibility of the court not the police officer to decide whether the law has beencviolated Those who ask the police officer to as sume the power to forgive without trial or criticize him for refusing to do so should look at the other side of the coin Would they have him assume the power to condemn without trial THE ironic Ds Bantford
