The new book contains more than 4,500 new and revised listings, some of them in the Seaforth section, ac- cording to J. M. Goodwin, Bell Tele- phone Manager for this area, who urges local telephone users to check numbers in the directory before calling. to reduce the wrong number nuisance to a minimum. Mr. Good- win also urges subscribers. to discard. the old buff -covered directory with its many out -dated lietings, to avoid -eferring to it in error. Telephone pads and lists of fre- quently used numbers -are a great convenience to many people, Mr. Goodwin adds. but it is a good thing to Ming them up-to-date by refer- ence to the new directory, to avoid delays caused by calling numbers that have been changed. The new book, as usual, lists num- bers for Goderich, Stratford, Clin- ton, St. Marys and other centres, as well as Seaforth numbers, and is be- ing mailed simultaneously to sub- scribers at those points. lis Bell, Goderich.

Arousing itself from a week-long fog during which 'organized hockey play-offs in, this part of Ontario were subjecte-d to an amazing series. of inconsistent and silly orders, the 0.H.An on Wednesday, esignt ordered Seaforth to play Milnerton In a best two-onthree series in the next reund. of the Provincial playoffs,. Not, how- ever, until Seaferth,had defeated Dur- ham tweestraight in the series, which was announced Sunday night after the O.H.A. had raised Milverton to Senior 'B' category on a protest from Durham. It was explained that the confusion resulted from a typographi- cal error in the rule book, and that Durham should really not have been playing Seaforth. Seaforth arranged the original ser- ies with Milverton on O.H.A. instruc_ tons a week ago, and after the ser- ies was advertised and arrangements made for ice, Milverton was declared ineligible and Durham substituted. Seaforth won the first game in Strat- ford against. Durham 8-6, and in the return game Wednesday night again won 12-2. The trip to Durham was worse than futile -the bus carrying the team broke down on the return trip an didn't arrive in Seaforth until fou o'clock Thursday morning, and Chi Woods suffered a shoulder injury L the game which may keep him ou FLOODS.

Seaforth • took the first game in their Intermediate 'B' O.H.A. play off series with Durham in Stratford Monday night, but did it the hard way, coming from behind to tie the score 6-6 at the encl of the hour, and then gong into overtime to score two goals. Durham looked good in the open ing stanza, when they outplayed Bosharts, but after that Seaforth were in the driver's seat and should have had a large margin, but for some fine puck -fending by Bill Watt in the Dur- ham goal, and Bosharts' own weak and erratte shooting. Frank Ellwood, Frank Kennedy, Angus McLean and Jack Roberts look- ed good for Seaforth, although the veterans, "Farmer" McFadden and George (Bernard) Shaw did some val- uable penalty -killing and during that hectic overtime period, when Bosh - arts grabbed a one -goal lead at the five-minute mark, they remained on the ice for the balance of the game a.nd held the enemy at bay. McLean and Roberts contributed two goals and three assists apiece to share scoring honors. Cliff Dean put Durham ahead at the 58 -second mark when his long shot beat McNab cleanly, and 11 min- utes later Cockburn added another for Durham, Bill O'Shea got one of them back for Seaforth seven minutes later, but less than a minute after that Durham again took a two -goal lead when Dean repeated. Before the four -minute Meek in the second period Donald shot Durham into a three -goal lead. Frank Ellwood pared that with the best goal of the night, firing a perfect drive from left wing, after accepting McFadden's pass and catching Bill Watt handcuff- ed in the Durham net, Before the 12 - minute mark "Hap" McGirr, another Durham veteran, chalked up his team's fifth counter, with brother George assisting. Jack Roberts scor- ed the last goal of the second frame, leaving Durham on the long end of a 5-3 count. Half way through the middle canto Seaforth Bosharts started to click better and were gradually wearing down their older opponents, who ap- peared to have shot their bolt. Then it was that Seaforth really displayed their superiority, by hemming Durham in their own end of the ice and firing rubber from all angles. The attack told eventually when Angus McLean linked the first of his two counters, with Jack Roberts helping. Six minutes later Frank Ellwood knotted the count at five all, the first time up to then that Seaforth were not trailing. The partisan Seaforth crowd almost brought the roof down when McLean nicked his second goal of the game, to 4put Bosharts in the lead for the first time. That margin looked good enough for victory, but when Ray Boussey as thumbed for hooking, Durham called on their last reserves, and with but one minute and 50 seconds remaining until the end of the game the veteran "Bun" Bisbop tied it up at six all. S'eaforth outplayed Durham by a wide margin in the overtime, and broke away several times with but one man back, and they finally forg- ed ahead when Frank Kennedy caged the disk, alter taking George Shaw's goal -mouth pass, but he had to take a third poke at the puck before he managed to push it by Watt, With the veterans Shaw and Mc- Fadden put there for the last live minutes, Bosharta did not play it strictly defensive, although they al- ways made certain to have at least two men back, and with 84 seconds to go Jack Roberts made certain of victory by potting his .secorid goal of the night, with Angus IVIeLeati, feed (Continued on Page 5) • PLAN SERVICES • FOR HOLY WEEK The Seaforth and District Minister- ' ial Association announces the follow- ing schedule for Holy Week services • during the Week of March 22-26: Monday ---The Salvation Army: Rev C.
