There was a further gratifying increase in Board Members from Ohio and New York. It will be wonderful to have, soon, full representation from all seven states with regular attendance at our bi-annual meetings and their input from the entire extent of the trail that is so essential to growth and developm~nt.of both the trail and the Assoc1at1on.

Date: July 3, 1986 Ms. Barbara A. Smith and Mr. John G. Hipps P. 0. Box 243 Emporium, PA 15834 Dear Ms. Smith and Mr. Hipps: Thank you for your recent letter requesting our assessment of damage to North Country Trail as a result of the 1985 tornado. Portions of the North Country Trail are still blocked within three areas of the Allegheny National Forest. However, all locations are open through use of temporary detours, mainly nearby roads. The sections of the Trail affected are: Tionesta Scenic A'rea in McKean County, Dunham Siding in Warren County, and Kellettville in Forest County. The Forest Service will be most happy to accept any volunteer efforts to re-open the North Country Trail. Inquiries and offers should be directed to the respective Ranger District responsible for management of each area. The affected Districts are Bradford, Sheffield and Marfenville. If you have any further questions, please contact me at your convenience. Sincerely,
Paul D. Brohn, Public Affairs Officer EDI-NOTE The above letter is published as information to all interested trail organizations, Boy and Girl scout groups, any and all peoples as groups and as individuals who would like to be a part of the effort to re-open the North country Trail in The Allegheny National Forest. This action is being coordinated by the Allegheny outdoor club, warren, Pa. For additional information and volunteering, please contact Merle Caldwell President, Allegheny Outdo~r Club, 228 Pleasant Drive, Wa~ren, Pa. 16365, 814-723-8963. -6-

SPECIAL REPRINT The fol lowing essay, "A Quiet Voice Cries Loud" that originally appeared in the May, 1985 issue of the NCTA N~wsletter, is being reprinted for its timeliness at the request of various members. Some of its content may be timeless as well as timely. "A QUIET VOICE CRIES LOUD" Those of us who have been associated with the NCTA since its beginning in 1980 are acutely familiar with the problem of an antagonism between former NCTA organizers and established other trail organizations. Unfortunately, this antagonism has resulted in a certain lack of cooperation that is now five years old. Most of us that are now active in all organizations do not even know the facts of the matter; it is something like the legendary Hatfields and McCoys. This lack of cooperation has not affected the health and welfare of those outstanding and strong, traditional groups, perhaps. It has, however, seriously affected the growth and development of NCT and NCTA. We have grown, of course, and will continue to, however, slow this may be. We have also matured significantly with sincere, dedicated and reasonable officers and membership. It would be nice to grow faster, none-the-less, with the help of those knowledgeable, long-established, other groups. Attempts to overcome this impasse has been made by a sharing of Newsletter~ by personal contracts with members and officers of other groups at meetings and with the help of Tom Gilbert. The editors would like very much to do more, see more, be more, by whatever other means possible. The NCTA Board of Directors has never had full complement from each of the seven states. We look forward to the time when each state will list five active members and boast at least one of them being present at every semiannual meeting. It would be nice to see the entire membership of every trail organization along the route of NCT be a member of each other's organization. That is to say, for example, that the entire NCTA membership be members of the Buckeye, ~estern Pennsylvania, Keystone, American Youth Hostels, Finger Lakes, Allegheny Hiking and Cayuga Associations, and that the membership of each of those groups be members of NCTA. In other words, to say that each of us as an organization have each member of the others as individual members and not just the organization as a single unit. Membership in Buckeye, for example. means membership in NCTA and vice versa. Since the Revolutionary War of 1776 set the basic tenor in independence for us and the Civil War of 1885 established some reasonably limiting field markers and our system of government for 200 years and a budget of cosmic magnitude has been experimenting with guidelines trying to show everyone in the universe how, and how not, to accomplish it, let us of the trail o anization shaw them how it can be done. See it this way, ft was -7-

"A QUIET VOICE CRIES LOUD", continued: the Indian path system of this hemisphere that we followed to achieve access to this bright. beautiful and bountiful land. The hiking trails associations in this country has expanded them. We can now develop and use that improved system to further improve ourselves and the whole world in the partaking of this magnificient bounty. These convnents are addressed to the hundreds of thousands who so believe and so lfve. We especially address them to the hundreds of leaders amonq us whose particular interest. expertise and devotion consumes a universe of time and energies. These efforts can be more fruitful and more rewarding when expended in cooperative efforts in the ways suggested in this P~say. and hoped for in ways not imaginable by one head alone but concef',le by the creative combination of us all. With all respect to each trail organization everywhere. we will say that there are none anywhere than in New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio that has as much trail action going. As a bred, born and reared son of natives of Keystone Mountain Country, we will boast that Pennsylvania be nominated as the Keystone of the NCT even though the lesser number of miles traverses it's northwestern corner and membership is the smallest. Pennsylvania can boast also of three of the eight National Historic and Scenic Trails in the United States; the Appalachian, the Potomac Heritage and the North Country Trail. Let his be a plea for our leaders to find ways and means, realistically. financially and with autonomy to bring together our organizations into a cooperative United System of Trails so that we can have a federation of independent local and regional trails whose paths are joined together to reach across the length and breadth of the entire country. Let it be so that each of our local organizations can boast of the numerical boostership of each other. The Editors From Page 4

The American Hiking Society's annual meeting takes place on October 17-19 at the Front Royal, Virginia 4-H Center. The meeting follows a 7-day Hike that begins on Saturday, October 11. It begins and ends at the 4-H center.
The Association wishes to thank Margaret and Dereck Blount of Royal Oak, Michigan for their contribution of a typewriter to our National Headquarters.
An exciting program is planned including special guest speaker William Penn Mott, director of the National Park service who will speak on Sunday morning, October 19, 1986. The editors have not had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Mott speak: however, we being from Pennsylvania, a man with the name William Penn has got to be a Keystone winner. Of special interest to NCTA is the fact tbat the meeting will host the Fifth Anniversary Reunion for the Hike-a-Nation, the historic cross-country trek which drew national attention to the nation's trail system some years ago. For additional information, contact Butch Henley, 1701 18th Street N.W., washin路3ton, D.C. 20009, 202-234-4609.
