Olympic invite

–

The Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee, consisting of members of the board from the 1932 Olympic Winter Games with Supervisor Willis Wells as chairman, met Wednesday to further consider the possibility of the games being staged here.

A communication received from Mr. Brundage, president of the American Olympic Committee, stated that he favored holding the games at Lake Placid in order to keep the movement alive, even though it was necessary to hold them on a limited scale. Mr. Brundage advised the local committee that he had cabled the president of the International Olympic Committee, Count Baillet-Latour, for the IOC’s opinion. He stated that if the transfer of the games to America is approved, he saw no reason why Lake Placid should not arrange a full program of sports.

The committee further pledged the use of Lake Placid’s Olympic facilities to the American Olympic Committee and extend Mr. Brundage an urgent invitation to attend a meeting at Lake Placid to be held the early part of next week.

Travel to Canada

–

No restrictions of any kind have been imposed or are likely to be imposed on tourists from the United States into Canada.

This information came to the Canadian Travel Bureau over the weekend from the offices of the Immigration Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources. In other words, tourist traffic may flow freely across the border between the United States and Canada despite the conditions which have been brought about as a result of war in Europe.
