The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-07-25, Page 18struction company on Thursday July 25, to hear his proposals on this matter, I hope that; this bit of news will point out the need for joining and participating in the Exeter Board of Trade; we can do nothing without sufficient funds about this or any ether matter concerning business in Exeter. I)on Webster, President, Exeter Board of Trade. J Ersman's Bakery EXETER will be closed AUG. 12-26 for holidays more businesses and groups that we can get -to participate on this day the bigger and better success it will be and ' hopefully in the future' could become one of the Towns major events. RODEO: — This year we are attempting to form a better relationship between the rodeo committee and the Exeter Board of Trade. As this is one of the Town's major attractions to both town people, people in the surrounding area and tourists, it would seem obvious that it would be a particular advantage to the business people of Exeter to co- operate and promote this event fully. To encourage businesses to do this, the Exeter Board of Trade will give away two prizes - one of $50 and one of $25. These prizes will be given for a combination of window decorations, employees' costumes and the best general Western atmosphere the winners' display. We would like to see all businesses both in the core area and the outlining businesses to take part in this. The judging will be done by three independent people, picked by the Board of Trade. Prizes will be alloted on the Sunday of the rodeo. All businesses will be welcome to join this contest whether they are members of the Board of Trade or not. CHRISTMAS PARADE: — The Board of Trade is now for- mulating plans to once again have a Santa Claus parade and Christmas promotion. The ten- tative date for the parade is set for December 7, this date will be confirmed later. Once again we are open to suggestions in regards to the parade and Christmas promotion. PARKING: — As you have probably read in the Exeter Times Advocate the parking committee consisting of Jon Dinney and Emil Hendrick have already approached town council on this matter and were very well received. We hope that our ef- forts will eventually produce some positive results. NO LONGER A RUMOR: — A member of the Exeter council has been approached by an out of town building contractor to construct a business mall within the town limits of Exeter, We hope to have a meeting with the representative of the con- Graduates Sharon E.

Draws on July 12, 19 & 26 Exeter should and will have to make over a period of the next few years; for example, sewer work, that will probably run a million to a. million and a half dollars, paving of roads which will probably run into the millions, plus a badly needed sports complex, which I am sure at the time of building will probably come close to another million dollars. I think these figures certainly point out the fact that we are going to need a much larger tax base than 3300 people, so that I can see that not only the Exeter Board of Trade but the town council, the industrial com- mission, service clubs and every citizen in Exeter is going to have to help to promote both business and the pleasant living asonditions we have in Exeter. SIDEWALK SALE; — The Exeter Board of Trade plans to have its sidewalk sale on August 17, which is a Saturday. This day has been questioned by some people, however the reasoning behind it is the fact that the Kinsmen Club of Exeter have their Kinfest on that Saturday night and we thought the two events held together would at- tract more people, hence more business for the merchants of Exeter and hopefully more people to the Kinsmen project. We would certainly welcome the Kinsmen setting up a booth on the Main Street to promote their night-titrie activity. This year we are also trying to encourage businesses on the fringe of Exeter to set up displays and participate in this sidewalk sale, to mention a few, I can see no reason why our local car dealers could not display some of their vehicles and local farm equipment dealers could display some of their machinery. I would also like to see the restaurants have a sidewalk cafe and I might suggest to other service clubs and church groups that they would be welcome to take part in this sidewalk sale also. We will also be raffling off a lawn and garden tractor valued at $400 to raise funds for the Exeter Board of Trade, This piece of equipment has been generously donated by Dick Vandergunst of Exeter Ford Equipment Ltd. and we on the Board of . Trade would like to thank and commend Mr. Van- dergunst for his generous sup- port, Needless to say the point is the Dear Sir: "We give you our money and that's the last we hear from you." Having been associated with the Exeter Board of Trade pretty well since its inception in 1961, the above heading is one of the most frequent expressions heard when the members of the executive go out and try to collect memberships. I would like to reverse this expression and point out to you — the Exeter Business People — "That YES you do give us your money but that is also the last we hear from YOU", Now, I realize that you have appointed an executive of the Board of Trade to run and ad- ministrate the Board, however it is my opinion that the more input and participation, we can get from all the business people in Exeter the better o ,,erall Board of Trade we will have. I would like to make it fully understood that we are readily open to any suggestions on how to better the Exeter Board of Trade's service to you. Having receives some tigures from an ex-member of the Exeter Planning Board, I would like to make you aware of the fact a government agency, having surveyed Huron County and projected its future for the next ten years, pointed out that there would probably be an overall drop of 11 percent in Huron County and that eventually there would only be two major towns in Huron County, one being Goderich, which is quite obvious even at this point, and one could be, and I stress the words could be, Exeter, however they would have to attract more types of industry and more people to the Town, I think if you look aroundwithin a ten mile radius you will be able to see the handwiting on the wall. The examples that come to my mind are Granton and Kirkton, which if you have driven through recently you would have noticed several empty stores and businesses. Now these com- munities consist only of a very few hundred people. However I believe we now have a town of a population of about 600 people beginning to have the same problem. The town I am referring to is Hensel'. What I am now wondering is how long will this trend take before it starts affecting a town with a population of 3300. To make my point further I would ask you to quickly add up the expenditures that the Town of Walter Rode of Listowel.
