The Welcome Mat Out HUNDRED years ago, when Canadians heard A' that the Yankees were coming, they grabbed he old musket from over the fireplace and made eady to repel the invasion. Now, when we hear that our neighbors from he south are heading in our direction, we drag out he welcome mat and hope that the invasion will be ong and mutually profitable. This year, according to word from Ottawa, the invasion will lie the greatest yet. Enquiries for ourist information received by the Canadian Gov-?rnment Tourist Rureau bi-eak all records. They are ?omiig in at the rate of more than 50 per cent higher than last year. One day recently the bureau sent out three tons of mail, consisting of pamphlets -and letters, in response to enquiries for information about the country. There are many conjectures as to why so many Americans are headed this way. First of all, there is the interest which has been aroused by the industrial boom publicity we have been getting in U.S. publications, much of which has concerned this mrt of the country. to bring one aooui. mi-ikik h won the largest group In the UnuM" and In a mutter of weeks 40 Years Ago Today Sarah Bernhart Is appearing -was Prime Minister.

Also there is no doubt that a :rool many of our neighbors want to see how a Commonwealth country will celebrate the Coronation. In addition, the government's travel office has not k'cn idle. In February alone it sent out over a thousand photographs of Canada's tourist attractions,' most of them addressed to U.S. publications. Whatever the reasons, we are facing a record tourist season. British Columbia, which has always enjoyed special popularity, expects to be host to almost two million visitors, enough to populate a city four times the size of Vancouver. It has been ascertained that the largest proportion of these like to go fishing, and most of the tourist publicity has featured this point. Living in a country with many of the attractions they are looking for, we must welcome these visitors warmly and be ready to suggest how they can spend their time pleasantly. We have a chance to impress on a record number of Americans that tney should visit again, not only next year but the year after that as well. We must make sure they have a good time, a better time than they might reasonably expect to encounter elsewhere. tru-ir own Kim ana Kin.' But how about the French Canadians at Maillardville.B C .?

I have been filing Income, tax returns for several! year. Do I have to tate every year the name of inyi wife, names and ages of my children? A. Yes.

This Is really protective measure 60 that taxpayers ..who nave changed their address will be correctly recorded as having filed their 1952 returns Otherwise, the Department may not realize that you had moved and may be expecting a return from you as residing at your former address. oETTERBOX H Featuring . . .
