During the next few months, hundreds of television
receivers will be sold and installed in this area , . .
While the present T.V. receivers have been brought
to a high degree of perfection, they are (and always will
be) very complicated electronic instruments and will re
quire from time to time the services of Highly Trained
Expert technicians.
Canada has at present very few capable T.V. service
men. On top of this, proper servicing and repairing re
quires upwards of $3,000 of fine testing equipment.
We installed our first television receiver in Exeter
in May 1949, over four years ago, and since that time
have built our service facilities up to a point where we
are now equipped with the latest test equipment, as well
as a fully trained technician to service any receiver pur
chased from us. You are invited to inspect our stock of
receivers, and our service facilities.

Men's League Champs
Still In Excellent Form
Twelve teams in the Exeter
Men’s Bowling Association start
ed their bowling season Monday
night and the Keglers—last year’s
champions and winners of the
Labatt Trophy—appeared best,
averaging 198 a man with a
seven-man team.
Monday, 7-9
Roger Guay, who has been
posted and will leave shortly,
sparked the team with a 738
(263) triple. Bill Thornton’s 665,
Bernie McLean’s 649, Jim Miller's
629 and Jim Preston’s 628 looked
impressive, too. Pop and Dick
Watson complete the team.
The Butchers did not fare as

SIDELINE
COMMENTS
As this column goes to press
(Wednesday afternoon), we are
not certain how many teams will
bowl in the Men’s League this
year. At present the entry list
indicates 21 but we will have a
better idea after tonight’s meet
ing.
There are many beginners
bowling and several entrants are
having another try after a lay-off
of several years. To these bowl
ers, on behalf of the league ex
ecutive and the bowling alley
proprietor, we extend a special
welcome!
Bowling did not commence un
til October 6 last year. Perhaps
the earlier start will be to every
one’s advantage . .
Decimals Yet!
In the handicap
day night, the Big
poppers had their
match. The '“half dozen” actually
had seven men, whilq the Pin
poppers scored six.
In three games- the
dropped their low score
pared their best six-man score to
the Pinpoppers’ only s i x - in a n
score. This advantage would have
given the BS seven points had we
been scoring by that system Mon
day night.
However, as it was not a point
scoring night, we think it would
be more fair to compare average-
per-man for each team. These
averages are; Pinpoppers 181.61,
Big Six 181.42.
Better luck next time, men!
Schedules?
Should a schedule be drawn up
Wednesday night, we will try to
have printed copies like last sea
son.
A schedule for next week, how
ever, may be seen on Page 12.
