"There has been some of that going on." sa . MaicMillan, "but. I think it. has been pretty well cured. The Dominion Gov- ernnient has taken the situation in hand and by advertising and radio the ides has been pretty well dissipated."

"We an taking eve possible stelp to insure that province wil get its share of the tourist business this season." the minis- ter said. Nova Scotia was up ug- ainst stiff competition from Que-

bec and Ontario, which had iuidei-taken extensive advertising campaigns.

The discussion arose during eon- sideration 0f estimates for the tourist and publicity branch t! the highways department.

Nova Scotia expected to meet competition from the state of Maine, which was boosting itself as a tuna fishing resort. 'I'hat. was wily the provincial government was estimating for a $3.000 ex- nndilure for the development of inns and sword tlsiilng.

"Maine is trying to steal our thunder," the minister said. "While they have not the fish, the loca- tion or the possibilities that. we have, there are some fish along the coast of Maine. That is wily
