Million Visitors For Britain This Year: Coronation Magnet
London, May 1.
Experts estimate that more than 1,000,000 overseas visitors will come to Britain this year. Of these, about 300,000 will be here for the Coronation, and the rest will come because it is Coronation year.
England will be undisputed that to the world during the fes- tivities, but all the nations of Continental Europe are attempting to draw the tourists away from England after, that period. The tourist trade is well worth working for, as the visitors will bring with them between £50,000,000 and £100,000,000,
In an effort to keep this money in the British Tales, every industry is preparing for record sales, and the reports are spending thousands of pounds for additional attractions. During the coronation weeks, It 狙 estimated that revenue of £2,000,000 will be taken in by the sale of the 400,000 seats along the 61⁄4 mile route

Those who desire to act as guides for visitors are receiving special training. These classes, the first of their kind in England, storted tenta»- tively with only two cuurses, but the large enrolment soon brought the
number to six.
Instructions for guides include such subjects as personality, psychology, dress and appearance, delivery and diction as well as a thorough ground- lug in knowledge of the sights of London, Stratford-on-Avon and other show places.
More ambitious guides are study- ing languages to qualify as guide in- terpreters. Although the bulk of visitors will be from the Empire and America, a large number will be from non-English-speaking nations, The languages receiving the most attention are French, German and Spanish.
ALL MANUFACTURERS BUSY The foregoing are only a few of the individual and industrial prepara- tions which are being made, aside from the official one made by the Coronation committee.
Manufac- turers of chinaware, clothing, cutlery and a host of other objects are in readiness for record sales.
After the Coronation, however, England must compete with the rest of Europe for patronage of the visi tors. Operators of holiday resorts in England, realizing this, are spending nearly £1,000,000 on improvements and additional attractions,
The Chamber of Commerce at one resort reports on outlay, of £250,000 which will provide for an addition to the sea-side promenade nad a new entertainment centre. Expenditures for other resorts range from £80,000 down..
Included in the new attractions are swimming pools, an undergroundi garage for 1,000 cars, tennis courts which will rival those, at Wimbledon, bowling greens, theatres and other such features.
Although the cost of preparation for the coronation visitors are high, it is estimated that £1,000 will be taken on every 48, spent.

Fenelon Falls, Ont. Apr. 21 Because the railrond advertised rates of 1 cent per mile from Torento 10 laliburton, and then decided lack of passengers would cause the special train to go only as far as Fenelon Falls, 10 miles short of Haliburton, a Toronto wor

When the train stopped at Fenelon Falls and the conductor advised his Toronto passenger that the train would go no farther, she produced a ticket, stamped "from Taronto" Haliburton" and advised him she expected to have the journey plated.
