Mrs. Berteaux was the senior of four B.C. women who staffed a tour- ist Information booth in downtown Seattle during the big fair, and the information is significant in that. it was gleaned from thousands of Amer- ican tourists BEFORE they entered ou province. She found that many Americans had heard of Victoria—‘isn’t that where there is a little bit of Olde Eng- land?” There we see the power of udvertising, the image created by something different and therefore at- tractive. Contrast of old and new as ulways exerts an appeal to the senses and the imagination. It is something that is not always exploited by Cham- vers of Commerce in thelr particular regions, who lack the detached view of the professional tourist promoter or have become too accustomed to their surroundings to see their unus- itl aspects. Too much tourist litera- ture harks on generalizations and pla- titudes — flowery words about the scenery which may not be particularly different from scenery elsewhere. It’s the striking contrast that invites the Visitor, Ja northern British Columbia we have a tremendous contrast in old and pes — for instance, Kitimat, hewn wilderness into a modern model oon, and to the north, east and west mi; the Queen Charlotte Islands, our «rating totem poles and relics from Indian cultures; the new super- iiposed on the ancient, and other ex- amples can be found readily.

Many questions about boat- ing were asked. Quoting the Vancouver Sun ac- count: “Vancouver needs a public mar- ket. Vancouver needs a Fisherman’s Wharf. British Columbia should ad- vertise more with Alaska, such as ‘Take the B.C. route to Alaska,’ writes Mrs. Berteaux.” We in Prince Rupert, the key south- ern terminal of the new Alaska Marine Highway ferry system, should heartily endorse her recommendation. The ef- fect of strong combined advertising between this province and the state to the north would be powerful in- deed. Both would reap bigger tourist revenues. An interesting observation was made by Mrs. Berteaux on the in- fluence of national advertising. “There is little doubt that national advertis- ing is the greatest media for getting out the public. For instance, one out of every five visitors arriving at the booth who had previously decided to visit Vancouver, would say: ‘Oh. yes, we're going to stay at the Bayshore Inn—you know, your new hotel that Was written up in Life and Holiday Magazine.” There we have it. It is not sufficient to beckon by wagging a little finger. It’s the broad, sweeping gesture, much more difficult to make, admittedly, that brings the tourist. And here again, because of the greater expense involved, co-operation between com- munities and regions and even prov- inces in tourist promotion is almost essential. ‘ Mrs. Berteaux also found out that B.C., probably the most exciting and und leveloped vacation area in North America, is little known to most Amer- Ian tourists.

Walliwell, itself as an adult voice in in- ternational affairs, if internal problems are to be dealt with decisively and beneficially, if leadership for the Canadian people ever is to emanate from Ottawa, then there must be a return to the two-party sys- tem. The power to return stable federal government rests with the people. The nation nas been weak- ened, internally and exter- nally by the twenty-fifth Par- liament in which no party held a clear cut majority. Nei- ther was there enough of a cohesive quality among the four parties to provide any- thing resembling responsible government. The twenty-fifth Parliament was an elegant tribute to the travesty that democracy be- comes when unacceptable splinter parties appeal to the electorate at large. The pitfalls of the multi- party system becarne most evi- dent in France. Government after government toppled, be- cause it was almost impossible for one party to win a majority and France deteriorated. No nation can grow strong, or remain strong, when its gov- ernment is hamstrung by the lack of a majority: when it must govern by precarious al- liances rather than through diligent adherence to its own principles. The two-party system has proven its worth over the years. It offers alternative sets of people and policies, the most acceptable of which is able to povern in a forthright manner at a given time. The Liberals and the Con- servatives are parties best equipped to offer Canada a two-party system. They have roverned Canada in the past. When either poverned the na- tion well, it remained in power. When it didn't, the voters had a responsible alternative. Every basic principle of de- mocracy is contained within the platforms of the Liberal and Conservative parties. The voters need goa no further afield to find policies whieh protect. free enterprise, the dignity of the Individual and the sovereignty of the nation. The voters should reject splinter parties with complete- ly unacceptable platforms such as unorthodox monetary pro- grams and socialism. Such parties will never secure a mandate in this country. the lighter side Inflation: When those who have snved for a ralny day pet sonked, oe + Man {sg nothing but dust, and f@ woman sure can settle him! ee tf An orntor Is a man who says he did not expect to he enlled on and then refuses to be called off, * + + With all the madern equip- ment now, shout thea only thing in a household that Is hand-washed these days is the people. et + The only thing worsa than heing on the wrong side of nn argument is to be on the right side with nobody Hatening. ~ + To he happy with a man, you must love him a ttle and vndorstand him na lot---toa be happy with a wontan, yau must love her a lot and try nat to tnderstand her at all. a Taxes are just like golf.
