I have never believed in private golf courses, even for the elite. In an area like Heppner that does not have very many recreational facilities, a public golf course should be mandatory. As the situation is now at Willow Creek Country Club, it discriminates against the poor, weekend golfers, and Is'ginners. The $(() membership fee is a bargain for everyday golfers, retired persons who golf, and golfers who have jobs that they can leave and play a round or two. It is not fair to golfers that only have time to play maybe 10 or 15 times a year. Beginners find it hard to justify paying $60 to try a sport they don't even know if they are going to like. And the poor cannot afford a $60 membership but once in awhile may he able to spend $2 for green fees. The $75 family rate is also unfair. It discriminates against a young family. Older families with teenage golfing children benefit from the family price but it is not fair for the younger husband-wife golfing team to pay the same as a family with three or more golfing members. In talking to some club members around town, they also feel the present situation is not fair. Some others who have shown an interest in golfing have told me that they do not because the only course in the area is private. There are many alternatives to the present system. One would be to have it a public course with varying types of memberships for those who want to buy into the club. The club could charge $60 to golfers that use the course more than 20 times a year. For 20 times a year or less, charge $40. For 10 times a year or less, let the golfer pay the green fees. For a family, charge $60 for the head of the family and $15 a year for every other golfing member in the family. The student price could remain $25 a year. The changes are minor, they would create the necessary funds and would be fair to all classes of golfers. My conscience does not allow me to play the course if I am not a member even though many other people do. I am thinking about breaking down and buying a membership but I still do not think it is fair. Hopefully, the board of directors will consider making some kind of change. Just because the course has been run a certain way for years, does not mean it is right. Change can be healthy. Anyone interested in playing golf and members who are unhappy with the present system should voice their opinion to one of the members of the board: Jim Wishart, Harold Kerr, Klmer Palmer, Sharon Harrison, Anita Klinger or Susan Johnston.

KeiT said the reason it is a private course and not public is because income would be limited if dues were not paid since the course is not subsidized by the city or county. He said the number of memberships is not limited so anyone can join. Green fees would have to be increased if memberships were stopped, he said. "We have low dues the cheapest in Oregon," he said. A major plan for the future, Kerr said, is to establish a permanent underground wa tering system.

Use these ten tips to BOOST your advertising: 1. Whether business is good or slow, you hava to gel your share of whatever business is around. Cutting back your newspaper advertising puts you at dis advantage at the very moment you need an edge. 2. In times Of Uncertainty, consumers are careful and a little reluctant to spend. They want to be sure before they buy; they want information. One of the main ways they get information about products, services, prices and values if from newspaper advertising. Yours -- or somebody else's. 3. Maybe you figure other retailers in your line are going to cut back their advertising, so it's safe for you, too. Right? WRONG. You're in competition for the consumer's dollar with every other retailer in town, no matter what he sells. People have only so many dollars to spend and if they don't spend them for what you sell, they'll spend them for something else. 4. "Slow" timeS ahead? Perhaps, but there are more Americans working now than ever before More women working too, adding to family income. People still need and want goods and services and will spend for them. There is plenty of business out there. Your competitors will be bidding for their share - and yours, too. 5 YOU Can't do mUCh about most factors in the marketplace - rent, labor costs, price of merchandise, what the competition will do. But one thing you do control is your own promotion. Remember that newspaper advertising is not just a cost of doing business. It's a proven sales tool that returns many times your investment in store traffic and sale. 6. Remember how long it took y OU to get started? Once you build up a business, you can keep it going with a moderate, consistent newspaper advertising program. But if you cut your advertising and lose your hold on the public's awareness you'll find it's much harder to build it up again. It's sort of like starting all over. 7. Your newspaper advertising is part of your sales force. Ads help to pre sell the customer and help you close the sals faster. What saves you time save you money. 8. You say your customers know you and for while at least they ii keep coming in even if you don't promote. That's partly true, but shortsighted. Remember, one out of five Americans moves every year. So there's a steady flow of your customer out of your market, and a corresponding influ' of new people who don't know you at all. ' Tell them about yourself. 9. Here's a hard fact tO Chew On. Over any given period, a company that advertises below the industry average has sales that ara below the industry average. 10. Advertising is "news" - about products and services. Most shoppers look for this kind of news in the pages of the newspaper. In plush times, retailers often experiment with other media. But when the going gets tough, they concentrate their efforts in newspapers because they provide an immediate pay-off at the cash register.
