Urges Canada Sell Possibilities to U.S. Toronto, April 18--(CP)--Cana- dians were told Tuesday that they should speak out loudly and often about the attractions of 'their coun- try to bring additional tourists to Canada. R. Hately of the Parks and Recreation Association of Canada told the Third Annual Ontario Tourist Conference that Canadian scenery is second to none. But it often seems to him that Cana- dians themselves do not appreciate it. However, Maj.-Gen. H. A. Young, federal deputy minister of re- sources and development, said Can- adians strike a happy medium by being not too reserved and not to "gushy." He said their friend- liness was a selling point .to vis- itors from the United States. 5 Leo Dolan, director of the Fed- eral Travel Bureau, said all "chisellers" and fraudulent tourist advertising must be exposed if Canada is to get its share of tour- ist dollars from an increasingly- competitive world field. V. B. Blake of the Ontario plan- ning department's conservation branch said a major problem is to get tourists to stop in Southern On- tario while on their way farther north to the Laurentian shield re- sort areas. He said municipalities should do more to develop park and picnic areas near historic sites, Says Russia Ready To Arm Northerners Taipeh, Formosa, April 18--(AP) --A high Nationalist official yes- terday said Russia and Communist China have agreed secretly to une leash a huge international Commun- ist Army in Korea. Russia, he said, would supply 200 tanks, 500 warplanes and about 80 submarines, and Soviet satellite na- tions would send troops. The charge was made by H. P. Tseng, a member of Chiang Kai- Shek's powerful 16-man central re- form committee. ROOFING, BRICK SIDING IN- stalled, Terms. Guaranteed work. Dial 2064 Whitby.

Seymour, minister of Enniskillen United Church. "Nothing in this world is the ob- ject of so much striving as the pursuit of happiness," sald Mr. Seymour, "After our best efforts have been put forth and the goal seems sometimes within reach, we find that the objects of our desire lose some of their allurement and intensity. Thus the striving goes on, This progressive seeki: of a goal is part and parcel of life. If we did not progress, we would stagnate." In a large sense, contentment is a major goal of mankind. Groups such as service clubs which adopt service as their aim, are organized toward high objectives. Their achievements in the realm of. hap- '| piness are produced through fel lowship, service, work, sacrifice. Mr. Seymour said that the Rotary progam is essentially a Chistian program, one taken from life as a whole. Properly carried out, fit leads to a high degree of satisfac- tion and happiness. "In every life, every situation, every occupation there are untold opportunities for the befterment of human life," concluded Mr, Sey- mour. In introducing the speaker, Maurice Slichter noted that Mr, Seymour was well known in Whitby. C. O. Thomas ably ex- pressed the thanks for the club for a fine address. Guests at the luncheon yesterday included Dr. A. Moir of Whitby and Reg Geen and G. R. Wooll of Oshawa.
