IF YOU THINK ADVERTISING
DOESN'T WORK, TALK TO
GORD KIRK AT RADIO SHACK

• •
GORD'S ENTIRE STOCK OF OVER 30 ADVERTISED
CITIZENS BAND RADIOS WAS SOLD IN JUST 3 DAYS
Gord Kirk at Radio Shack in Exeter will
be happy to tell you about the pulling
power of newspaper advertising.
Last week he ran an average sized ad•
vertisement promoting a special value
he had on citizens band radios and his
stock of over 30 was sold within three
days after the paper came out.
Customers "came from almost every part -
of the Times-Advocate coverage area
which includes: Hensel', Parkhill, Ailsa
Craig, Exeter, Lucan, Kirkton,
Woodham, Grand Bend, Crediton, Gran-
ton, Shipka, Zurich, Seaforth, Dashwood
and the rural areas bounded by these
communities.
The tremendous results from this adver-
tisement proves one very important
point....people do read their local
newspaper and are greatly influenced in
their buying habits by newspaper adver-
tising. It also proves that when you have
a good product at a good price the best
way of letting people in this area know
about it is through the pages of the
Exeter Times-Advocate.
Our display advertising department will
be happy to help you promote your
business to over 18,000 readers right in
this trading area. We'll prepare a
professional sales message for you that
will be tailored to fit your advertising
budget.
Remember, most businessmen don't
look on advertising as an expense, but
as an investment , in future sales. One
question to ask yourself is "who pays for
your newspaper advertising?" In most
cases it's your competition who loses
sales to you because he isn't promoting
his own business.

"trail Manners". The most interest in the Trail's extension
and success.
With the business portion
concluded, everyone shared in a
combination coffee, cookie,
conversation and leg-stretch
break. Then, thus refreshed, they
settled down to view an excellent
film about the Bruce Trail called
"Among Other Things".
In concluding this report, there
is one more important aspect,
and that is the deep appreciation
felt by all members and hikers
for the permission given through
the generosity of the many
landowners already involved,
They are truly unselfish, public-
spirited people. Because of them,
there will be many healthy,
happy hikers in Huron County.
May we all live up to their trust!
By WENDY HOERN1G
When one is nurturing a project
that is young, yet important,
many are the anxieties, and
concerns over its development,
But oh, the delight when it starts
to grow and flourish! How much
more worthwhile the seemingly
unending problems become!
These feelings must have been
shared by the initiators of the
Maitland Trail Association,
Thursday evening, October 28,
when they held their first annual
meeting in the music room at the
Robertson Memorial School,
Goderich, Close to 60 people
packed the room — many of them
newcomers to the Association.
Chairman Heinz Hoernig
described the first year's ac-
tivi ties and outlined the
Association's plans and projects
for the following year, The
eventual aim is to have a hiking
trail that stretches from
Goderich to Wingham, following
the Maitland River — including
branch trails. Its development is
similar to the way the Bruce
Trail was built,
First, the most appropriate
route is worked out, Then, since
much of the route must cross
private property, the owners are
approached, with the hopes of
obtaining their permission. This
takes the form of an unwritten
"gentlemen's agreement", which
may be withdrawn if the owner
has a change of heart, Where
permission is not granted, the
trail must detour around that
section. Road allowances and
public lands are also involved.
The reponsibilities of the
Association don't end with the
construction of the trail,
however. Members inspect the
trail to repair damage, if any,
and to clean up any debris left by
unthinking users, and also en-
deavour to teach users proper

important rules, of course, are to
stick to the trail, since it is often
on private land, to leave no
garbage, and to do no harm to the
environment.
As Mr. Hoernig reported, the
first year's work has resulted in
three excellent and scenic sec-
tions, to provide good hiking,
snowshoeing and cross country
skiing for outdoor enthusiasts.
Indeed, many hikers have
already enjoyed these sections.
Trail Construction Director Bill
Wisser reported on the actual
trail construction. Many local
members of all ages — from
members of the G.D.C.I.'s
"Outers", under John
Smallwood, to members whose
vigour and enthusiasm belie their
age, gave the trail construction
great momentum. They trimmed
overhanging branches, painted
blazes, built steps and bridges,
and reported "It was fun — I'll
come again."
Secretary treasurer Jean
Knight outlined the Association
financial position, and then the
new officers were elected.
Executive officers are elected
for a two year term. Those in
their second year are Chairman
Heinz Hoernig, Secretary-
treasurer Jean Knight, and
Director in charge of Trail
Construction and Maintenance,
Bill Wisser. First Year officers
are the Vice-chairman Jim
Bishop of Exeter and Landowner
Relations Director, Maurice
Wilkinson. Two positions, those of
Club Activity Director, and
Public Relations Director are yet
to be filled.
Ideas put forth by Nick Hill
concerning the best ways of
extending the trail as far as
possible in the next year were
then discussed at length. Com-
ments and questions from the
floor showed an abundance of
