HENSALL WINS FROM ZUIRICH
IN OVERTIIVIE 845
On Friday evening last, our fast-
est hockey match of the season was
staged at Hensall rink when the
Zurich puck chasers were the attrac-
tion. The •initial stanza found both
teams up on the bit and individual
rushes were much in evidence but
one lone tally made be E. Shaddock
of Hensall was the only score. In
the second stanza the visitors seem-
ed at their best and had the best of
the play, managing to score four
times before time sounded. In this
period the local boys seemed to be
taking things easy. The last stanza
saw a great comeback by the Hen. -
sail Green -and -Whites, when they
forced the visitors to a fast pace and
outplayed them the full period tally-
ing 4 times while the visitors only
notched one goal. Thus at the end
of the third frame the score stood
5-5 tie. It was agreed to play over-
time and after a brief •intermission

erves credit. The teams changed

were played off their feet and Hen-
sel slipped in two more, one when
Chas. Shaddock took a pass frotu the
corner and batted it past Walper,
who never saw it till- it was resting
quietly behind him in the net. The
third goal was the result of a long
shot by Bell, which the goalie
couldn't see for his team mates until
it had bulged the twine. It was a
real comeback and the Hensall
team deserves credit. The/line up

ed to tally. This report wouldy not
be complete without making men-
tion of the exceptional net minding
of McAllister, the Hensell goalie,
who, in the initial stanza of the
game turned in a stellar perform-
ance, and turned away many diffi-
cult shots throughout the entire
game. This fine goal tending was
largely responsible for the inability
of Zurich to score in the first frame.
The second spasm saw both teams
start at a fast clip, each team using
subs frequently and both teams tal-
lied twice before the bell sounded
and• felted Hensel' leading 4-2.
The final 20 Minutes of play saw
the Hensall team fighting hard to
retain their lead, but the Zurich lads
seemed a little fresher, due no doubt
to constant "subbiug." The home
team came through and scored, and
the Zurich fans called loudly for an-
other goal t� tie the scoee. They
tried to comply with thie request and
took a side shot at the Hensall goal
which hit the goal poet square in
the centre and bounced off toward
the boards at the side. The Zurich
goal umpire got excited and stuck up
his hand to signify a score. It was
quite obvious to anyone with average
optics that the puck never bulged the
twine, but the gbal Umpire would not
alter his dicision and the ehief
nin-
pire G. Coohrane'did not see the play
so he had to ,take the formeine decis-
foe, alid award Zurich a goal veltieh
they did net score. This piece of,
unfairnese seemed to "break the
hearts" of the Hensell boys and Zur-
ich, now in great spirits, showed one

man' was coining up the rink, for

Miss McDonald was completely
taken by surpriee, but made a very
suitable reply thanking all, in a few
well chosen words. This Was follow-
ed by a program consisting of
speeches by Rev. G. M. Chidley, Mr.
William Moodie and Mr. John Cann
all expressive of the high esteem in
which our honored member is held.
Following this was a recitation by
Miss Anna Jeffrey, music by the
Tham.es Read orchestra and songs,
old and new in which everyone join-
ed. A bountiful lunch was served be
the ladies, then all joined hands in
singing "Auld Lang Syne," a fitting
close to a very pleasant evening,

PROPOSED INCREASE IN
TELEPHONE RATES
Speaking of the proposed new
schedule of rates for telephone ser-
vice, which appears in another
eolumn of this issue, Manager Sas.
`Lawson, of the Bell Telephone Com-
pany said:
"I am very glad that the new
schedule proposes no increase in rate
for residence service. This will
tend to encourage the development
of residence telephones; making the
service of the merchant and busi-
ness man, for which we are asking
an increase, of growing value to ,
htsrajdenes, eee awe
telephones increase. Co reach an al-
ways wider circle of householders,
and customers. '
"We have delayed our request for
a change in rates as long as we pos-
sibly could. Nobody' wants a starv-
ed telephone service thatwould be
injurious to the whole community!
We have no alternative but to read-
just rates if we are to continue to
provide adequate service for present
subscribers and. extend our plant to
care for new ones. We must do
both, of these things if we are to -ful-
fil our obligations to the public.
"Of course no magic wand has
touched the telephone business to
defend it from he general increase
in prices during recent years. Con-
struction costs are double those of
a few years ago. We must continue
to pay fair wages to the 14,000 men
and women who provide your ser-
vice to enable them to maintain
their customary Standard of living.
The cost to us of the intricate ap-
paratus we use is largely determin-
ed by the higher wages now re-
ceived by skilled labor.
"Only twice sinde pre war days
have our rates been increased -10
per cent. in 1918, and 12 per cent.
in 1921. Contrast this with the in-
creased cost of almost everything
else that enters into the cost of liv-
ing to -day and the need for further
readjustment of our, rates is not
difficult to realize.
"We believe our patrons will
agree that the importance of main-
taining the standard of service and
extending it promptly to new appli-
cants far outweighs the moderate in-
crease which we are proposing for
this exchange.
