Motel and summer Camp proprietors say their business is up anywhere from 50 to 85. Per cent mainly because the trans Canada Highway has now been completed right across the resort owners Are also being helped toward new High Revenue Marks by Good Wea ther and the lower value of the Canadian Dollar in rela Tion to its american counter part. Our lobby registration Book shows we be had peo ple Here this season from every one of the american states including such far off areas ass says Motel proprietor Mike Manchulenko. Much of the White Shell s summer activity is centred at Falcon Lake the Mani Toba government s Multi Mil lion Dollar resort now operating for its sixth season. Although Falcon has received its share of criticism in the past this apparently has t made any impression on the average Holiday maker. For example the government run trailer and tent ing grounds have already played Host to around vacationers whereas last season s entire total was 186 campers. Attendance is up All through the White Shell for camping golfing swimming and All other phases of re sort says Falcon s chief Ranger. R. D. Mckinnon. Or. Mckinnon said the modern trend to increased vacation travel has even brought a number of euro Pean campers to Falcon Lake. However the bulk of Falcon s summer population is still drawn from Manito bans and americans who Are now making extensive use of the new trans Canada High Way. The main complaint about Falcon s Camp grounds has been that a few people Park their trailers in Choice locations at the beginning of the season then Only return occasionally during the sum Mer. One camper Arthur tur pin of St. Vital suggested recently that no trailer should be permitted main in one location at the grounds for More than a month. According to or. Turpin this would allow the passing visitor to use the better trailer facilities and it would t be a hardship on season Long campers because a special parking lot could be built to accommodate their " vehicles Between weekends. Comments or. Mckinnon the provision of adequate trailer arrangements is a Canada wide problem because this phase of summer activity has grown enormously in re cent years. I Don t know what eventually do at Falcon but the trend has been to gradually reduce the number of trailer Sites Avail Able for season Long Camp some idea of the trailer site s popularity was gained from Camp attendant j.
