Sees enforcement

Badly handled

SEIGNIORY CLUB, Que, Sept. 1'l—(CP)- Henry W. Morgan of Montreal expressed belief before the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce convention today that; the enforcement of Canada's gasoline restrictions "was very badly handl- ed" and proved harmful to tourist trade from the United States. Participating in informal dis- cussions after the Chamber's on. nual convention was officially op- ened by President H. R. MacMil. fan of Vancouver, Mr. Morgan said he thought that garages should have been allowed to sell gasoline to owners 0f foreign aulomobiies even after the '7 p. m. closing hour on week days and also on 51m. days.

Walter Zellcr of the dominion tourist bureau said that "there is no question the regulations rc- sulted in unfavorable publicity a- cross the border, but we should do everything we can to combat it."

Old Home Weeks

As moans of developing the in- dustry, he suggested that more "old home-weeks” be sponsored by ca. nadians to bring back from the United States persons who left Ca- mldifln homes. Development of s "good host movement" also is 11cc- essary, he said,

Canada telling the pcOple to be good hosts to our visitors. We not only want to get the tourist new but we also want him when no, goes bark io the United States to sell Canada to his friends."

Col. Full

Col. George E- Full of Charlotte- town, chairman of discussions or- the subievt. said that the tourist industry should be developed in wartime because of the great need for foreign exchange.

Discussions. presided over by D. R. Tilfnbllll Of Halifax. trlsn were held on “rental control and real estate taxation."

Mr. Turnbull said that in Hali- fax the hous‘ng situation “is very acute" and “rental control was and at!" is a pressing problem."

A three-man rental control board. he said, heard 155 cases in n few mOHths and in some cases the corr- tention of the landlords "was rea- sonable," but as a rule the land- lords were unable to prove the necessity of large increases.
