(CP) -- Newfoundland, an island of rugged beauty with great ap- peal for sportsmen, looks for @ huge increase in tourists dur- ing the next 10 years, But it aif hinges. on improved commu- nications with the mainland. 0. L. Vardy, Newfoundland's tourist director, predicts tourist business in the province will reach $100,000,000 by 1975. But he qualifies his optimism by adding: 'The whole thing will fall flat on its face without adequate ferry service." Hitherto inaccessibility and tourist department policy have restricted the influx of visitors from other parts of Canada to this island which offers much to the hunter and the angler. Mr. Vardy pointed up some of the difficulties. If tourists were lucky enough to get a place on the single ferry cross- ing Cabot Strait, the MV Wil- liam Carson, they found poor roads, accommodation and ser- vices on arrival. Other methods of reaching the province would be too expensive for the aver- age tourist. But prospects are improving. FINISHING SCENIC ROAD The Trans-Canada Highway, a wide, high-speed ribbon of pavement, is scheduled for com- pletion late this year, For the first time one smooth road will meander the more than 600 miles from Port aux Basques to St. John's. The road runs through some impressive scen- ery and almost over the door- Hotels and motels are spring- ing up and the government has set standards of quality. Liquor' licensing is liberal compared with the other Atlantic prov- inces. In 1956 Newfoundland reaped $5,000,000 from the tourist in- dustry. By 1962 this had risen to $18,743,000 and last year about $27,000,000 was taken in. Prospects this year are for a $30,000,000 take. The big jump is hoped for in 1966 when Newfound land's| "Come Home Year" is expected to boost tourist dollars spent to $60,000,000. If all goes well, Mr. Vardy predicts the figure will soar to $100,000,000 in 1975. He remarks sadly that '"'hun- dreds of people. were turned away at Sydney, N.S., last year step of scores of quaint fishing communities. because the William Carson DOMINION TIRE TERMS 9] ]O DOWN WEEKLY = ~DOMINION™) | TIRE STORES | \ DOMINION ben ROVAL TIRES STORES WE HAVE REMOVED THESE TIRES FROM NEW CARS TO REPLACE WITH DOMINION ROYALS-GOOD ASSORTMENT OF SIZES- WHITEWALLS- BLACKWALLS- SNOWTIRES BUY NOW 48 BOND WHILE SELECTION IS COMPLETE ST.

ADOPT SYMBOL The province is optimistic that expanded ferry service will be provided. The first $100,000 of a planned $250,000 will be spent this year lish in advertising in national and)": international publications. The advertisements inviting people to come to Newfoundland will learry a distinct Newfoundland flavor.

Mr. Vardy is confident that since 110,000 tourists came in 1964 without any advertising to persuade them, many more will come when the advertising cam- paign gets going. He is also con- fident of the Newfoundlander's knack of being quick to learn how tourists should be treated.
