October Declared AVA Month by Gov.

The month of October has been proclaimed Alaska Visitors Assoc.- ation Month by Governor B. Frank Heintzleman in formal proclama- tion just issued. In the proclama- ton Governor HeintZleman took cognizance of the importance of the growing Alaska visitor indus try, and urged all Alaskans to sup port the AVA, a non-profit organ ization dedicated to promoting Al aska's tourist industry,
 Governor Heintzleman pointed out that the tourist industry is making an increasingly important contribution to Alaska's economy. Tourist traffic to Alaska was up between 25o and 30% according to reliable surveys and checks
 During this month an annual membership campaign will be con- ducted throughout the Territory. Goal of the campaign will be $125,000 The board of directors of the AVA decided to request two to-one matching funds from the legislature for the coming bienni- um. This amount was determined necessary to provide Alaska with a continued carefully calculated and well planned tourist promo tion program for 1957-58.
