Certainly not 11 This week has indeed been cause for worry, if worry ever had a cause. The Ladies Invitation is on today, July 18 and it has kept us all hopping as we prepared to host the main event of the ladies, golfing season. Somehow no matter how busy you are there is always time for worry. Last week 1 wonied because we had too few entries. Why aren't they coming? Is it too much money? Don't they like the prizes, the course, me? What will we do with only 45 entries? All those prizes? One week later it was a different tune, but I was still worrying. We were full, then more than full. Where will they sit? How will they all get their round off golf in? We'll never get all the scoring done. Will we have enough food, ice water, time? Then it was the tee off times. We'll never figure out who's with who and at what time...You just can't put anyone together in a threesome. They should be from different clubs, with someone from the host club, with similar handicaps, and should tee off around the same time as the other ladies they are driving vyith. The earliest times? For local and area girls of course. How can you phone a lady from Owen Sound and tell her she tees off in Seaforth at 8:06 IN THE MORNING? Who would have the nerve to tell her? Ttying to put 90 women into tee off times and fit personalities, skills, distances and clbbs, is a, major diplomatic project.

No matter how hard the people in a factory work to make a good product, if you, as a possible buyer, don't know that the product exists you're not likely to buy It, are you? In some way, each product or service you are offered has qualities that none of its compet- itors has. It is by building those qualities into its products and then drawing them to your attention that the advertiser hopes to get your business. Again, you are important. You are the final judge. Your decis- ions spell success or failure for the advertisers. And the reason the advertisers use newspapers to tell you their story is that when you are reading a newspaper, you really do have time to judge. You read at your own pace. 4f you want to, you can go back and read the advertisement again. More than anything else, you are being asked to consider. That's what newspapers do best: provide time for consideration. Without advertising, the econ- omy would grind to a halt. And after all, we all advertise. You advertise what you are by the way you dress, the way you talk; how you present yourself to others. Thus, the advertising you see in these pages is simply an extension of how you yourself behave. Its importance is that, without it, how would you know what is available - and where? And how would you compare qualities or cost? Huron .xpositor 1;f1.4 527-0240 IIIIRERBIMENB registration for all events is this Friday. There are still openings for events such as Badminton, Darts, Euchre, Shufflebe'ard and many more.
