Tourist Ass'n Told Four Ways To Improve Industry
“The Canadian Tourist Associa- tion has adopted four new ways of improving the tourist industry in the country,” Lt.-Ool. James Malcolm McAvity told members of the Prince Edward Island Tourist Association last night at the association's first annual meeting at the Charlottetown Hotel.
Mr. McAvity. a native of Mon- treal, is president of the Canad- ian Tourist Association, a post he assumed last summer at a meet-
coast who‘- gathered in‘ Toronto to honor Mr. Umphrey's 38 years of service. John F. Gordon, Presi- dent of General Motors Corpora-
ing of the CTA in Quebec City.
The text of his talk to the P. E. I. Association last night was taken from the editorial page of a Montreal ewspaper. It was en- titled “Tourist Pattern Changes."
The four new ways that he stressed as a movement towards bettering the tourist industry in this country were:
(1) Getting the public aware of the economic importance that the tourist industry has on Can- ada.

(3) Endeavourlng to find all the ways and means to improve the country and make it more at- tractive to the tourist; such as improving the services.
(4) The acceptance of a rule by C.T.A. to provide a liason be- tween ,the Government Travel Bureaus, transportation, boards of trade and the general public.
BIG JOB ._
He went on to say that'the big job that confronts the main body of C.T.A. today is to endeavour to bring tourists back into the country once they have visited.
“Since John Fisher has become exec-utivedirector of C.T.A.,” he said, “the association’s work has improved a great deal, especially so during the past three years."
In regards to who has a part in playing the role of a good public relations official with the visitors, he said that “. . . . . everyone is in some way connect- ed with the tou-rist association" from the presidents of large firms right down through the ranks of
~ the working people. On this state-
ment he added that C.T.A. dur- ing the past few years has done much to get the people of the country interested in the tourist industry.
COMPETITION KEENER
"Competition has become a great deal keener in recent years in the tourist industry." he said. He sited the dollar indus- try between Canada and the Uni- ted States since 1948.
“In 1948/,” he said, “Canada enjoyed 45 per cent of the tnavel dollars spent by the United States. Although we have gone ahead, the dollars spent by the United States on travel has drop- ped off to 25 per cent.”
He stressed the fact that if we had gone on in the same position as (Canada) enjoyed in 1948, the tourist income from the states would be in the vicinity. of $700 milion instead of the $300 million it is today.
What has been the chief cause for this drop in the tourist indus- try?
Mr. McAvity cited a recent in- terview he had in New York with one of the heads of the tourist industry in that country.
This official said that today" . it is becoming more and more glamorous for the American fam- ily to have two cars. A big car for the longer tr-ps and a smal- ler car for running around town.
“In the same way,” he con- tinued, “it is becoming more and more glamorous for the American family to take two holidays; the second of these to Canada."

Mayor Edwin C. Johnstone was the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the Charlottetown Bus- iness and Professional Women's Club held last night at the Char- lottetown Hotel.
Mayor Johnstone spoke on the function of the city government, the problems which it faces and how they are attacked. He urged intelligent interest on the part of citizens to make democracy function effectively.
Mr. Johnstone's address was followed by a question period during which members of the club brought up many aspects of civic welfare. Mrs. Flora Rog-

He went on to say that we must describe the country in a way that it will appeal to this generation as won as the parents; by fitting out our tourist areas so that there is always something to keep the tourist interested in the surroundings.
He added that although Canada lacks the glamour and historical, background of the “Old Country". the transportation facilities throughout the entire country have improved tremendously over the past few years and competi- tion in all parts of the country has opened up accordingly.
On this subject, he added that other countries have also im- proved their tourist industries considerably and these features are aptly displayed through ad- vertisments throughout the U.S. LOST DRIVE
“We have lost much of our drive," he said. "Business cannot stand still. It must go ahead.”
He described Canada’s lack of drive in the tourist industries to the board, of directors of a large automobile‘firm that sit around a big table and watch the same model car come out year after year.
“We musr build up new modes of attracting the tourist. Stand- ards must be Improved through the management of the C.T.A. A. successful advertising media must be carried on by the federal and provincial governments.”
As an after thought to the lat- ter, he said that the advertise- ments attracting the tourist have
been successfully handled by these two groups. "Bu-t,” he asked. ‘are they
satisfied that the money is being: spent in the right way? We atll have an awful lot to gain if the two bodies get together ar" plan their advertisements for r', 'bu~ tion of pamphlets to tonri . ac- cordingly.” '
“Finally.” he said, "we must take lilto consideration the sales and service jobs we are giving the tourists when they come to Canada.

Rotary Club Seeks Student For Scholarship Award
At the weekly luncheon meet ing of the Charlottetown Rotary Club held at the Charlottetown Hotcl yesterday. the following ques:lon confronted the members, with additional information sup- plied by the speaker, Norman W Lowt‘hcr.
"Do you know a young man or young woman 20-28 years of age. holding a Bacheor‘s Degree with a first class academic record. who plans to take graduate work in a foreign land and has a good working knowledge of the lan- guage spoken there, and who gives positive evidence of strong moral character, good emotional stability, unquestioned reliability and integrity, a creative imagina‘ tion, well-developed facilities for inductive and analytical reason- ing, an instinct for leadership, a co-operative spirit, and an abil- it to organize and inspire others?”
PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIP
Rotary International is ready to provide a scholarship of $2,- 000 — $3.000 for advanced study for the academic year 1960-1901 to such an individual from P.E. Island upon recommendation of this Club and district.
“We must have students at St. Dunstan’s University with dc- grees and no doubt many P.W.C. students are studying at Dal- housie, Acadia. St. F.X., Mt. Al- lison, U.N.B., McGill or Queens or other colleges and some of them must be fully qualified. It is up to us to get the information to chairman Ralph Balderston", the speaker said.
Leading Educationists Pay
Tribute To Late
Leading P.E.l. Educationists have paid tribute to the late Dr. Harold Herbert Shaw, B. Sc., who died in the Prince Edward Island Hospital Saturday at the age of 90. . ’
Dr. G.D. Steel, former pl'lnCl- pal of Prince of Wales College:
“In the passing of Herbert H. Shaw, B.Sc., Ll.D., the province of Prince Edward Island has lost one whose lifetime was devoted to the service of its people, and in particular to the service of its young people.
“It was my good fortune to have met Dr. Shaw almost DO, years ago. At that time I had joined the staff of Prince of Wales College. and Dr. Shaw was the viceprincipal. I learned in that year to respect his judgement and to appreciate his genuine in- terest in the students of‘ the col- lege. Later when he returned ro the province and served as chief superintendent of education, I found in him a wise counsellor ready at all times to listen to a discussion of the problems that concerned us both and to advise.
“His years of service in the cause of Education were charac- terized by a broad sympathy and conscientious attention to detail. By his death one more of the links with the past has been sev- ered. I shall miss the opportun- ity of calling upon him from time to time talking with him about times and friends that have pass- ed from us.
“To his daughters and other sorrowing relatives I extend sin- cerest sympathy."
Dr. Frank MacKinnon, Princi- pal of Prince of Wales College:
“The death at Dr. H.H. Shaw recalls to mind a great era to P.E.I. education, when men like himself, S.N. Robertson, and Alex- ander Anderson, three close friends, brought so much scholar- ship and ability to it. They were brought up in the classical tnadi- tion and they performed the dell- cate task of carrying that tradi- tion into the age of science in such a way that the. classical and

“H.H. Shaw was one of our finest citizens. A great teacher and canny administrator, he left a valued impression at Prince of Wales College and In the gov- ernment service. As an adv1sor and friend, many, including my- Self, will always remember him with respect and affection. A: the bridge table, at meetings, at Rotary, and in friendly conversa- tion everywhere his common sense and his humour, his stories and his reciting of poetry or history left always the impact of one of nature’s gentlemen. There are few like him; all who knew him well can never forget him."
Malcolm M-acKenzie, deputy minister of education:
“News of the death of Dr. H.H. Shaw, came to me as a distinct shock as I had visited him :11 his hospital room only a few days previously and at that time he seemed to be in reasonably good health. We talked for a long time about various matters and, in particular, about his old love ‘education'. Despite his advanced age, he seemed as mentally alert and as interested as when I last worked under him as a superin< tendent of schoools. -
“The late'Dr. H.H. Shaw was a cultured gentlemen. a great scho- lar and a great teacher. He was equally as capable in the Arts as in Science. While I was not privileged to sit at his feet as a student, I have heard many of his
former students speak of his unique ability to impart know- ledge.
“Those of us who worked for him in the department of educa- tion remember him as gentle, kind and capable. His influence will live in the memories of those who knew him as teacher, ad- ministrator and friend.”
