One survey has shown that le55 than. one percent of visiting tourists can find Canadiarrmade sou- benirs: the other 99 per cent buy them from, to use the words of the survey ‘ju-nk-healps. ”. IDEA ENCOURAGED Mr. Manning went on to say, “The Maritimes are considered craft provinces. and in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia this idea is officially encouraged. The trouble here is that Island crafts are hard to find A gift shop here, stocked exclusively with Island crafts, even of mediocre quality is scarcely possible. It would have to be augmented with competing crafts from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and even Newfound- land and Quebec". Sources of encouragement were reviewed by Mr. Manning including the banding together in the form of guilds for their mutual benefit. Probably it is at the government level where assistance would be most effec- tive. Many provinces have a hand craft division of some such department as trade and industry, with a director.
