I'M referring of course to the brand new telephone directory we receive this time of year. The outside looks the freshest and newest, but remember it's there mainly to hold the insides in! — It's the new and changed listings that are most im- portant. So, to save yourself time and avoid wrong numbers, be sure to look the num- ber up and jot it down before you call. Handy little Blue Books—ideal for record- ing your personal list of telephone num- bers — are still available free of charge (just call our Business Office and we'll send you one). * * * * Back in the early days of telephone service, tele- phone directories were pretty simple affairs. In fact, the first "directories" were simply cards which listed names of all subscribers and which early subscribers could keep by their telephones. The first tiny book-type directories in 1880 also just listed the names of those who had telephones. A little later numbers for the subscribers were added. Sometimes the books explained to the customer how to speak over the telephone; warned him not to use the tele- phone during an electrical storm or gave the hours that service was available. Ads for everything from shoes and livery stables to corsets, mineral water and stoves, bright- ened the pages. Today's directories also contain a fund of information. A section at the beginning of the book is ready for you to jot down numbers you might need in an emer- gency. Just by flipping through the introductory pages you can find out how to place a conference call, a call to ve- hicles and ships at sea or calls to 150 foreign countries. They list the Area Code numbers for many places across Canada and the United States so that you can place long distance calls faster. And, for the many Ontario and Que- bec communities which now have Direct Distance Dialing, the directories explain all about the long distance, calls that you can place yourself. Also, for communities which have toll-free calling with nearby centres, lists of these communities are provided. There's all this and more in the front of your telephone book . . . and in addition at the beginning of the Yellow Pages there is a whole page of postal information. Why not let your directory help you get the most out of all the service that is now built into your telephone? * * * Know anyone having a wedding anniversary soon? Perhaps you can use this handy list of anniversaries and what they are called. I know, I have trouble remembering any but the silver or golden anniversaries. 1st — paper; 2nd — cotton; 3rd — leather; 4th — linen or silk; 5th — wooden; 6th — iron; 7th — wool or copper; 8th — bronze; 9th — pottery; 10th — tin or aluminum; 11th -- steel; 12th — silk; 13th — lace; 14th — ivory; 15th — crystal; 20th — china; 25th -- silver; 30th — pearl; 35th — coral; 40th — ruby; 45th — sapphire; 50th — gold; 55th — em- erald; 60th — diamond.

LIMITED EXETER CHEVROLET - OLDSMOBILE COMARO CHEVELLE CORVAIR = CHEVY II CHEVROLET TRUCKS The weather man has been the big winner to date in the Exeter rec league softball finals. Of the four games scheduled so far only one has been completed. In the lone contest, the Legion downed the Kinsmen 2-1 in thrill- ing fashion. The second game of a best-of- five series is set for Friday evening at 8 pm at Exeter Com- munity park. EARLY ACTION All the scoring was confined to the first two innings as t h e winning Vet nine tallied twice in their half of the first and the Kinsmen came back with a single reply in the top of the second. The Kin threatened in the top of the first without denting the plate. With one out George Pratt drew a base on balls and Ken Jackson followed with a single to set up a scoring situation. Pratt was forced at third on Jim Hewitt's fielder's choice grounder and Jim Newby was out on a bouncer to second to retire the side. The first two Legion batters to come to the plate made the circuit of the bases safely to actually wrap up the game. Gerry Finnen reached the initial station as his- grounder eluded the Kin infield and moved on to second as Chub Edwards joined him with a sharp single to centre. A sacrifice fly from the bat of Cy Blomma.ert moved them up a base and into scoring posi- tion and they both romped a- cross on Jim Finder's one base knock to left. Chuck McKenzie started the Kinsmen away in the second with a texas leaguer to right but was wiped out at second on Dick Roelofson's force out grounder. Roelofson advanced to second on a good move up bunt by Dave McCutcheon and finished the trip home as pitcher Virgil McNabb rapped a clean single to left- centre. A promising Kin rally in the third was curtailed by an un- fortunate incident. Catcher Jim Hewitt rapped a long drive to deep left that appeared to be good for at least three bases, but he tripped going around first and fell flat on his face and by the time he had recovered the b al I was back to the infield. On the next play justice was squared as Legion left fielder Chub Edwards slipped in a mud- dy spot on the field and dropped Jim Newby's fly allowing him to reach second and send Hewitt on to third. The next batter popped up and the rally was squashed. After the slight Kin uprising in the third, Legion chucker Don Mousseau settled down and re- tired the next eleven men in or- der, giving up only a walk to pinch hitter Don Bell with two out In the seventh. On the other side of the ledger, Virgil McNabb was just as stingy, allowing only four base runners in the last four frames. McNabb and Mousseau each By MRS.
