Of 753 shares represented at the meeting, all but 22 favor- ed the sale officials said fol- lowing the meeting. With the traasfer this week to Bell, telephone service .in the Dublin district comes full circle to where it was more than fifty years ago. As early as 1903, a few subscribers in Cromarty, Staffa and Dublin were served by Bell. Demands for added service resulted in the formation of the new com- pany, and in -1908 the area rights were purchased by the company from the Bell Tele- phone. The McKillop, Logan & Hib- bert Telepholie Co. was incorp- orated October 21, 1908, with 1500 shares authorized at $10 each. Initially.. it served 34 area subscribers.

Dial 527-0240, Making Hockey History (Continued from page 9) changed to Beavers: Change Paid Off "I guess you could call me the losing coach," said Doig of his two year stint after return- ing from Stratford. McLlwain took over at the start of the 1964-65 season and Beavers have won everything ever since. / In 1965 they eliminated For- est, Lucan and Orangeville en - route to the final. In the open- ing gairie against Orangeville, Beavers we?e down 5-0 after the first 10 minutes. They came back to win 9-5 and swept the series 4-0. They proceeded to do the same to Brooklin for the championship, winning the last game here. Brooklin was Actually the Uxbridge club with a different name. In 1966 Beavers dropped their first playoff encounter to Lu- can,but from there to the championship didn't lose a game. They tpok the Irish in five, Port Dover in three, Hes- peer in five, and followed up by sweeping Durham in four. In the final they got by good ole Uxbridge in six. For the past , two seasons they have won the title on Uxbridge ice. Years and Goals For a team as closely -knit and win' -happy as the Beavers, memories and ancedotes are as numerous as goals. McLlwain goes back to the lean years for his most mem- orable game. "In the 194-63 season we were playing Mil- verton in the playoffs, in Milver- ton, and on the way up Gar (goalie Gar Baker) said 'just get me one goal.' So we got the goal and won the game 1-0." What MeLlwain neglected to say is that he was tha guy .who scored it, with about five min- utes left. • Doig points to the first cham- pionship win over Brooklin, in 1965. "We had some real cliff- hangers in that series; a couple' of Miles went Into overtime. In one of them we pulled the goalie, tied it in the last Min- ute, then won in overtirne." Needed Extra Time Anstett's most vivid memory doesn't go past ItIst year's ser- ies with Durham. "We took them in four straight but we could have 'just as easily lost every garae, Two of Ahem were settled in overtime." The Beavers have been through a lot together. At least seven members of this year's team were founders of the, ori- .ginal club. Twelve of them — Doig, McLlwain, Anstett, McLaughlin, D olm age, Baker, Cliff Petrie, the Dick brothers, Ray Henderson, Bob Beutten- miller and Larry Dale — have been on all three championship squads. Taall Missing Don Morton, defencenian for the last two seasons, is back again, as are Paul Rau and Jim Sills. First-year men in- clude Bill Weber, Francis Hag- an and Wayne Rau. Wayne played for St. Marys Lincolns last year and Hagan was with Goderich Siftos. Bill _Tea% a team member for the last two years, is no longer with the club. Ron Driscoll .and Newt Col- lins have looked after the train- ers' chores over the years and are back at their posts this sea- son. Anstett is in his seventh season as team manager. Beuttenrailler managed the 1961-62 team, and then lIarry Cummings took over for three years. Anstett replaced him and is now in his third term. Beavers are solely self -spon- sored and with the exception of Dolmage (and he's been around so long nobody even notices), all the members are Seaforth residents. This year'sclub appears strong enough, fo Make it four in a row. They finished in first place, tied with Durham, but were awarded the top spot for scoring more goals. Baker is back in goal, play- ing as cool as ever. On defence it's Anstett, DolYnage, Morton, Jim Dick and Henderson. Beav- ers' big offensive line is the 39-year.old Doig between Mc- Laughlin and MeLlwain. Line two has Larry Dale cen- tering Tom Dick and Bob Beut- tehmiller. Out of the remain- ing players — Weber, Hagan, Wayne and Paul Rau, — comes a third combination. It appears that Father Time has about the best chance to snap the Beavers' impressive string —r but even he has been rtinning a losing battle for the laSt three years." . hes to Dial Phone . subscribers.

There was nothing methodical about the first telephone directory published. Miss Beale tnerely wrote the names down 'aS they came into her mind, without giving even too lunch thought to the spelling, and the direc- tory.cpme off the press just as the 11,st was given to the print- er.
