Haysom your telephone manager Individual computer service has long been thought of as being in the preserve of large corporations. New develop- ments in computer service, however, are shifting emphasis from the computer as an "electronic brain" and an awe-in- spiring, highly-mysterious piece of equipment to that of a problem-solving tool of business. Now, through the concept of computer time-sharing, identical computer service is available to small businesses. By time-sharing, I'm refer- ring to a modern high-speed computer's ability to deal with many hundreds of different problems at the same time and still give each customer undivided attention. Bell Canada is playing an important part in bringing computer service to the small businessman. Through our new DATACOM service which provides the link between computer and cus- tomer participation in a centralized computer's time-sharing program is available the moment it's needed. Since it ap- pears that computers are here to stay, I think this rather puts them at our mercy — for a change. It's that time of the year again. Yes, in the last week or so our Annual Report for 1967 has been mailed out to our shareholders. Some of you may have received one since more than a quarter-million Canadians hold stock in Bell Canada. It has been a busy, exciting year for our Company. Behind the financial figures are several stories of events which marked our progress during Centennial Year. Our sponsorship with other members of The Telephone Associa- tion of Canada of the popular Telephone Pavilion at Expo 67 wasn't the only milestone in Montreal. If you visited Expo and used any of the attractive public telephones there — we had almost 550 located on the Expo site — your call went through Canada's first electronic telephone exchange. We opened this exchange in time to serve Expo 67 and its millions of visitors. A similar unit will be added this year to Toronto's telephone network, and work is being started on one for Ottawa. As I mentioned in my column last sum- mer, we grew past the 5 million mark in the number of phones served — in fact, 284,000 were added to the total at the service of our customers. Our construction program was vast — for the first time in a single year we exceeded $300 million in construc- tion expenditures to further expand and improve our com- munications network. Over 95 percent of this money was spent in Canada. Interest in space age communications was reflected in 'two projects. In the first, we started construction of an earth station at Bouchette, Quebec, designed to test satel- lite relay on TV, data and voice communications into Can- ada's Far North. In the second, we joined with members of the Trans-Canada Telephone System and CN-CP Telecom- munications in the proposal to provide a domestic satellite communications system for Canada. Of special interest to all of us was the Company's ability to continue to hold unchanged at the 1958 level our basic schedule of local telephone rates — a significant vic- tory in the struggle against inflation. I think that you will agree it has been a busy and successful year for Bell Can- ada.

While we are still in the month of March and anything can happen as far as the weather is con- cerned, officials of the Grand Bend Dragway are finalizing plans for a busy summer of drag racing, In a press release last week, strip promoters Fred Harris and Ken Hord announced that the Drag- way will be operating every Sunday from April through, to September, increasing the schedule to 21 meets, an increase of six. In the past, the Dragway has been in opera- tion every Sunday from April to June and then every other Sunday until Labour Day. This year's grand opening will be held on April 14 with the finale on September 1. Attendance has been increasing at the Grand Bend strip every year and this has caused the in- crease in meets. In the past GB strip officials have presented the best possible drag racing show in a professional manner and as smoothly and quickly as possible. With a longer summer schedule in store this year, racing fans will have an opportunity to see a greater variety of cars in action. One of the special meets during the upcoming summer will be a Super Fuel meet with more fuel cars than you could ever imagine at a Canadian show. Another will be a Gasser meet which will in- clude A/Gas supercharged cars. Still another feature attraction will be a Super Stock meet featuring the hottest factory production offerings such as Dodge and Plymouth street hemi's, 427 Chevelles and Camaros, 427 Mustangs, Fairlanes and Comets. The super stock movement in drag racing is taking the nation by storm with many of the big name funny car pilots switching to super stock cars, so this meet alone promises to be a good one. Many new cars are being constructed and many of the great cars already in action are being made greater with improvements and innovations to make them even more competitive in 1968. There is a lot of new machinery being built in Western On- tario and a lot of the top runners are making changes to go even faster. The Bill Kydd racing team are trying to light- en their record holder by as much as 100 pounds. Gary Thomas, who campaigned the wild Haskett fuel roadster last season, is building a new car, this time for AA/Altered class with a blown 427 Chevy for power. Ron "Beakie" Stevens is putting together a similar machine. Both are planning on using an auto- matic transmission similar to Bill Kydd's. With this kind of machinery in the works, another "King of the Roadsters" fued seems to be in the offing. Grand Bend Dragway has established a repu- tation for bringing many of the top touring pro's in drag racing to Canada and this policy will be con- tinued this year. Judging by the sound of some of the meets planned and the names mentioned, 1968 should be a big year for drag racing fans at Grand Bend. As an indication •of the growing popularity of auto sports including drag racing, spectator attendance at auto racing events in the United States last year was higher than at baseball games. WING LINE LEAF'S BEST If Punch Lnlach made the big trade with the Detroit Red Wings a few weeks ago to get the- To- ronto Maple Leafs untracked and into the NHL play- offs he was unsuccessful, but the new Toronto chat- tels are certainly proving their worth. The Leafs, defending Stanley Cup champions, will be missing the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. At the time of writing, the Leafs are 13 points back of the fourth place Chicago Black Hawks with only seven games remaining on their schedule. The mathematical chances for the Leafs are so slim that even the most faithful Toronto fans have given up hope. It would take seven Toronto wins and six consecutive Chicago losses to do the almost im- possible. Much speculation is usually made on a big player deal as the one just completed as to which club received the most benefits. As a result of the first few games, the Leafs certainly can't complain on the performances of the complete line of Norm Ullman, Floyd Smith and Paul Henderson they got from Detroit. The new forward trio, newly named the Wing line, have taken care of most of the recent Toronto scoring and in two weekend tilts accounted for six of the seven Toronto scores. On the other side of the ledger, Frank Ma- hovlich and Garry Unger have each scored three times in their new Red Wing uniforms, For the next couple of years, the Leafs should benefit the most from the trade, but in time, Unger, the ex-London National junior star, could be the prize package in the deal.

CLEMENTS SAINTS VS CREDITON TIGERS Friday, March 22 Exeter Arena 8'30 Exeter Hawks have eliminated the Alvinston Flyers in five games to win the Bluewater junior "D" hockey championship and move directly into the Ontario Hockey Association semi-finals. The Hawks trounced the Flyers on Exeter ice Wednesday 12-7, dropped a 9-4 decision in Wat- ford Friday and came back with a 10-5 on home Ice Sunday to take the league title. Mitchell Hawks and Caledonia Corvairs are currently meeting in a provincial quarter final series and the winner will ad- vance against Exeter. Other teams still in the running for provincial junior "D" honors are from Marmora and Bobcay- geon. LARGEST CROWD OF YEAR Sunday afternoon's final win was accomplished before t h e largest crowd of the season as 843 fans were on hand. As has been the case in almost every game of the Alvinston series, Male curlers in playoffs Regular play in the second draw of the Exeter men's curling club was completed last week and the top 16 rinks are now participating in a playoff round this week to declare a grand. champion. Jim Pinder and his rink com- piled a total of 92 points over the nine week schedule to capture first place quite handily. Jim Hewitt and his foursome finished second on the strength of an 80 point total, three more than the point totals amassed by skips Dick Roelofson and Bill MacLean, who finished in a tie for third spot. The battle for the next positions was tight as rinks headed by Bev Alexander, George Busche, Reg Schroeder and Ross Hodgert were all even at 76 points apiece.

In the Young Canada tourney at Goderich, Exeter and Lucan chibs are still in contention. The Fx-- eter boys downed Listowel 8-5 on Friday night and will meet Strathroy in their next outing Friday morning at o; so. The Lucan Irish youngsters showed plenty of scoring power on Monday as they ran roughshod over Kirtxville 13-0 in their first Contest and bested Grand Bend 4-1 in an early evening contest the same day. Grand Bend edged Ripley 3-2 to reach the second round. The Lucan boys see their next action Friday afternoon. In the novice tourney at Bramp- ton, the Exeter club is attempt- ing to bring home a third cham- pionship in seven years and knocked off Bolton 3-0 and 2-1 in opening play on Monday and took on Hornepayne in the second round with games Wednesday night and this afternoon. The Exeter bantams particip- ating in a similar tourney in Georgetown took a total goal series from Belmont by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday and will meet Ayr in another two-game set on buch of Mitchell. In Watford Friday, the Hawks were quick to hit the score sheet as Scott Burton continued his habit of scoring on the first play of the game. Falling far short of his record of a week ago of scoring in the first seven sec- onds of the game, it took 19 seconds before Burton was able to put the puck into the Alvin- sten net. Bill McNally came right back to knot the count about a minute later. The Hawks were able to hold a lead of 3-2 after the first period as the result of a couple of long shot goals from the sticks of Larry Willert and Bill Fair- bairn. The latter's drive took a crazy bounce to elude Dennis Wilson in the Alvinston cage. Ray Morgan tipped in a Doug McLean pass to complete the Alvinston scoring in the open- ing period. Although the Hawks held a slight margin in the score after the first twenty minutes of play, this was because of the The Exeter arena was a busy place Tuesday as 13 minor hockey teams participated in the annual Lake Huron Zone recreation tournament. The event was open only to house league players that did not sign OMHA or WOAA cards during the season. Exeter pee wees won their division edging Clinton 3-2 in the opener and squeezed by St. Marys 2-1 in the final. In the other preliminary match St. Marys blanked Listowel 3-0. St. Marys took the bantam championship with three con- secutive wins. They trounce d Clinton CFB 6-0 in the opener and then edged Listowel and Tees- water by identical 2-1 counts. In earlier play St. Marys downed Clinton 4-0 and Teeswater squeeked past Exeter 4-3. In the Exeter-TeesWater game the score was tied at 3-3 as regular time expired but the northern team was declared the winner on a better score in an extra free shot contest.

Brian Taylor, a regular novice per- former was close behind with a two goal effort while Wayne Re- gier, Steve Harrison and Paul Robinson added singles. PARK PACES IRISH Jeff Park was the top scorer for Lucan in their double win Monday as he scored three times in their easy 13-0 win in the opener and came back with a single counter against G r and Bend. Cecil Nickles, a pint sized for- ward and Randy English each equalled park's performance in the first game while Jeff Cul- bert fired a pair of scores and singles were added by Martin and Michael Wraith. Mike Wraith and Jeff Culbert completed the spectacular goal tending by Stire. The balance of the game be- longed strictly to the Flyers as they held a big edge in terri- torial play. During the first in- termission, Ray Morgan and Bob MacLachlan of the Flyers were presented with duplicate trophies a s Bluewater league scoring champions. These awards to spur the pair on as MacLachlan scored twice in the second period and they each added one in the final session. John Steele, Doug Dun- das and Les Teplicky were the other goal getters for the Alvin- ston club. Bill Chipchase counted the final Hawk tally. Three members of the Hawks each scored three times to lead their club's scoring attack in their 12-5 win over Alvinston on Exeter ice, Wednesday.

HODGE LEADS PEE WEES Bill Hodge led the Exeter pee wees to their championship win with four goals in the two games played. The speedy Crediton youngster scored all his club's markers in the opening 3-0 win and shared the goal scoring with Les Murley in the 2-1 victory in the finale. "WOERTH-WHILE" EFFORT Steve Wuerth found the scoring mark on two occasions to lead the Exeter bantam scoring in their 3-3 tie with Teeswater. The other local goal getter was Gerard O'- Rourke. The only Exeter goal in the novice 3-1 loss to Listowel was fired by Howard Schenk on a sue- cessful penalty shot attempt. scoring against Grand Bend.

It only took the Flyers twelve sec- onds , to get back on even terms' as Doug MacLean beat Jim Glavin in the Exeter nets from close in. The balance of the first period produced a wide open brand of hockey but only one more scoring play that being finalized by Exeter defenceman Bill Bourne with Bill Chipchase setting up the play. The Hawks were able to hold their own with the Flyers in the second period despite the fact they received two minor and one major penalty in a space of three minutes early in the middle ses- sion. Jim Hayter put the Hawks in front 3-1 at the 5.25 mark as he took a pass from Larry Laye who moved through the Alvinston de- fence and faked a couple of shots before sliding the puck to the waiting Hayter. The Flyers bounced back to tie the score with a pair of quick goals around the midway point of the period. Doug McLean put his club close as he bulged the twine with Ron Broderick sitting out a fighting sentence at 10.13 and a couple of minutes later Bill Mc- Nally fired the shot that knotted the score for a few minutes. Chipchase put the Hawks back in front near the end of the period on a play started by Bill Fair- bairn and Larry Willert and they were never caught again.
