' Tiu» tourist industry is one of the largest sources of rM'ei i • ill Canada. And, as is proved by Government stat- ' of it comes from the United States. Taken on Va inos American travel in the holiday season proceeds r t i e M to the British Isles and Europe ;and the 0 this broad land of ours. This year and probably for sev2 * 1 years the war will deflect the first stream ; r ni wl-i which with th a t which normally holidays with us ."nflwult'in our cities and countryside being filled with Am- pricsn bmrists diiring the warmer months. ^ , This is especially im portant to the ppople of British Col- nnihia licniuse there is no province in Canada which is so rich ■ naUiral beauty of sea and mountain, oh river and lake, as pro is none which offers so many opportunities to the ardent himler^ind aiigler. And the American does not come to see our cities, which with a few exceptions are but smaller replicas of his own. . ' 1 /« • u.' uThe particularly mountainous brand ot scenery ,m which oiir'urovincG excels'and of which it is so full is useless from the standpoint of cultivation, and were it not fo r the rich lodes of minerals found there,' we should be poor indeed.. As it is,; since in this age of motor travel the tourist is only anxious to see our mountains and forests from the seat of his oar, it follows that to. a ttrac t him hither we must have many miles of paved or surfaced highways. . The announcement, therefore, th a t the Big Bend High­ way is expected to be ppen to traffic.by summer will be of more than passing interest. This highway follows the great northern bend of the Columbia River between the Towns of Revelstoke and Golden. I t is 195 .miles in length, and on com­ pletion will form the final link in the western-half of the Trans- Canada Highway which will ultimately extend from Halifax to Vancouver, a' distance of approximately 3500 miles. The new road which as a development almost ranks -with the completionmf the first transcontinental railway more than half a century ago will open to the motorist a truly alpine world of magnificent mountain ranges, snowfields, and glaciers, including the snow-capped Selkirks and the giant peaks which form part of the Great Divide.

This meeting will be of special clays, and, as such possesses a_rich background of explor^ation and I conquest. Not only will it prcivide a . direct route from Western Ontario and the Prairie Provinces to the Pacific Coast, but it will bring Lake Louise, Banff and Jasper within easy reach of Vancouver and th e coast cities of the^United States. There should be, therefore, a large increase in the motor travel through Vancouver this summer, unless the war takes a particularly tragic turn . And, as every motorist passing through Vancouver will cross the Lions Gate Bridge and pro­ ceed to Horseshoe Bay, W est Vancouver should share in the increase. Of course, i t has been frequently^ stated th a t the average tourist in passing through our municipaity does not even buy gasoline. But th a t is because, as we have stated on niore than one occasion, there is nothing to make him stop off . except the scenery ^ i c h he can see as he drives along. Other ' places of far less natural scenic beauty manage to keep the visiting tourist within their boundaries for a t least days if not weeks. It is up to us to follow the ir .^methods and example. , It was a real BunisLiiight_at---importance to Imperial Order the , Inglewood Auditorium' on Daughters of the Empire, as the Friday.
