THE TIMES-GAZETT 8 A PEAK PREDICTED IN TOURIST TRADE Officials Say Travellers May Spend $225,000, 000 In Canada Boostitng of the Canadian dollar to parity Bh the United States dollar will have little, if any, effect on Ontario's 1946 tourist industry, according to the opinion held by qualified observers, who point out that over-all vacation costs here are still far below those of an OPA less United States, ' Latest reports from Ontario bor- der points indicate that there has been no perceptible fall-off in the number of tourists entering the province since Mr, Iisley's surprise announcement, Department of Tra- vel and Publicity supervisors said many incoming visitors were un- aware that the United States dollar had previously enjoyed a 10 per cent premimum, Resort Rates Controlled Resort accommodation rates In Ontario are subject to a Wartime Prices and Trade Board ceiling and few increases have been granted since its imposition, On the basis of the 1945 tourist trade for Canada, released recently by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics, travellers may spend as much as $225,000,000 in the Dominion this year. American spending in Canada expanded by 41 per cent in 1945 over the 1944 total of $117,000,000, while Canadian expenditures in the US. rose 45 per cent over the $57, 000,000 in 1944. Spending by travellers from over- seas last year, including Newfound- - Jand, totalled about $3,000,000, com- pared with $2,900,000 in 1944 and $12,000,000 in 1939. There is reason to believe that the 1946 total will surpass the 1945 figure by a sub- stantial margin, due to the relaxa- tion in travel restrictions. In 1945, the gross volume of non- resident entries to Canada was some 17,100,000, compared with 12,- 600,000 in 1944 and 16,600,000 in 1039. Most entries, however, result- ed free local border crossings. The number entering from the U.S. for periods of more than 48 hours was estimated at 2,500,00 in 1945.

SHELF LIFE PROLONGED The "shelf life" of fcods has been lengthened from one to five and even 10 days by special experimental packaging, 4 nh. The dormitory room, shown above, reflects the 'college humor' of youth- ful veterans who live two to a room at the Brockville Training and Re- establishment Institute, Surrounded by books and pin-ups, they spend week-end nights listening to records, radio or playing their own music. The twenty-five cent meals are served in shifts, First to eat are those taking training like the shoe-repairers and (lower right) ex-army student mechanics, Don Barringer, Sam Oxboro and Gordon McCoo, who listen intently to Instructor Charles Woodland.

They are paid monthly while receiving the academic, commercial and tech- nical education that will fit them for better jobs. The courses are concentrated. Two and three months must cover a normal year's studies.

Commercial and technical students will soon be manning tools, machines and type- writers in offices and factories.

IN ART APPROACH Ontario Teachers Study New Tradition In Summer Course Toronto, July & 20--(CP)--When | Hitler drove the artist L. Moholy- | Nagy out of Germany he indirectly sent to this continent a revolution= ary are concept that has won wide. spread approval, , The growing trend within indus- try to provide*for employee welfare and security was further emphasi- | zed recently with the inauguration {of an extensive security program | for employees of a Montreal firm, | Bristol-Myers Company of Canada { Limited. caturing insurance | against loss of earnings thrcugh unemployment, the Bristol-Myers plan covers a field usually consid- | ered foreign to group insurance programs, and protects employees | against job-loss, sickness, accident, medical and hospital expenses, Life insurance is also provided. The program is extended to all employ- ees without cost, Commenting on the inauguration of the new insurance program, J. G. Stenhouse, President of Bristol-My- ers, said it provides for 'certain benefits never before extended to employees in Industry." The plan includes four security measures, Unemployment benefits, probably the most outstanding fea- ture of the program, provide all employees qf the Company with an uninterrupted income in case of work-stoppage. This insurance is payable for a period ranging from four to fifty weeks, Sickness and accident benefits provide for short- term, long-term and permanent dis- ability. Comprehensive medical benefits and life insurance are also included. All benefits of the plan are au- tomatically -extended to Bristol- Myers employees after three months full time work, with the amount of unemployment and long-term or permanent disability benefits de- termined by length of service, The insurance program is rounded out | by a pension plan, already in effect, which provides employees with a retirement income, MOON CRATERS More than 30,000 craters have been counted on the moon. Now at the Chicago School of | Design, the former staff member of | Germany's famed Bauhaus Iastitus | tion has introduced an art tradition | which stresses the emotional ap. | proach as opposed to classical, in- | | tellectual precepts. | | Studying the "emotional enjoy- | | ment of line" are 360 teachers en- | rolled at the Ontario College of | Art here. And it is a safe bet that | [art classes under the direction of | these teacher.students will not be | the dull affairs of the past when | | children sat in rows and drew chalk | | boxes. Youngsters taught under | | this system will possibly have their | drawings inspired by iistening to a | piece of music, | "An emotional line may look like | a scribble, but it isn't," explained | C. dP. Gaitskell, are supervisor for | the Ontario department of educa= | tion, "It is not a random move= | ment, but a feeling for form. | Craftsmanship is also stressed to | the summer course, Teachers, be- | sides learning to make models of, | say, a small pioneer village which, they could use to develop in their students an exact knowledge of a particular age, study the use of hand looms, linoleum cutting, scratch designs and glass work. Just as the "emotional enjoyment of line" is furthered in the sketche ing and painting classes, the 'feel ing in pattern" by means of mont. ages can be developed. "Just as we play with paint to see what it can do, we play with materials to re- gain what we have = forgotten en- tirely--the feeling in pattern given by an arrangement of glass, smooth and rough stucco, and metal," said principal Gaitskell. The marked evolution in art ine struction in the summer course is demonstrated by the classes in "mobile sculpture" in which stu 'dents are taught to imply move. ment in their work by both sweep- | ns lines and moveable parts, (T'S NEVER FAR FROM ARE 70 THE SIGN OF THE Thee te Ouperlisleal' THA EL GASOLINE AND LUBRICANTS TUPERTES] STRESS EMOTIONAL | SCIENTIFICALLY AIR.
