Goderich Uniteds • successfully ended their 1967 series of
home games last Saturday afternoon when they met and; defeated
the. Maltese Falcons, . a team '.near the top of the London and
district soccer league's 12 -team B division.
The Unitedsstarted the match shorthanded. Two of their
out-of.tc wn players were not present because of the fine harvest
weather which was keeping these farming soccer players at
home. even so, the Uniteds ,managed to keep the Falcons from
getting -within striking range by playing a tight defensive game.
At half-time,the score was tied 1.1, . , -
During hal#.time, another member of the Goderich soccer
squad arrived, putting them in strongrer offensive position. The
Uniteds were quick to capitalize on their increased strength..
They 'exploded for four goals in the scond half to overcome
the Falcons, 5.1. George Love and Gurnos James each booted
two for. Goderich; John Gottschalk accounted for the fifth goal.
If Goderich wins their next away game, that win, coupled
with Saturday's victory, may provide enough points to allow
the Uniteds to advance to sixth place within the Wdivision
alive London and district soccer league.

Bev. Wright pitched a shut -out game for the Dodgers last
Thursday night at Hanoveri to give the Goderich ladies softball
team an 8-0 victory over the Hanover lasses. Dodgers now hold
an important first game lead in this best two -of -three champion-
ship series for the WOAA Ladies Intermediate ''C' Softball
title. °
- A second game, scheduled for Monday afternoon at the God-
erich diamond, was cancelled because of the poor weather that
prevailed over the Thanksgiving weekend. °
' ' Dodgers' manager,, 'Mac' McDonald, mentioned Wednesday
night'as a tentative date for the rescheduled game.
No doubt both finalists are anxious to end this series, re-
gardless of the outcome. Chilly October temperatures have
always seemed more appropriate fob° football than for softball.
The fifth and final game of the Central Huron Softball finals
was • played at Goderich Friday night, Blyth became the '67
champions of this rural softball league by virtue of their 4-2
victory over Dungannon. This club finished last year's season
• .,pa.s 'semi-finalists after Holmesville eliminated them in the
play. o#Ys.

Goderich Junior '13' hockey prospects continue to practise
at the Memorial arena under the watchful eye of coach Jack
Evans. Presently there are about 20 "Siftos" on the' town's
Junior B hockey team, the majority of whom represent local
talent. Along with the two Windsor imports, a third out.of.town
player has been added recently to give the Siftos strength where
it's needed most. Paquette, the latest arrival at the Sifto train-
ing camp, is said to be a big, strapping fellow who skates and
handles a puck with equal ease. •

Club, stated that the 1967-'68 interlocking schedule for Central,
and Western divisions of the OHA Junior B league, -had been

dule as working out "favorably for Goderich hockey 'fans. Of

Numbers mean a lot of different things 10 different people. For
example, the number 7 has importance for many, while others hold 3,
11, 13 and many more in particular awe. For customers of the Goderich;
exchange, the number 1-271-3911 will have particular significance as of
October 16. That's the number you'll be dialing to contact your Bell
Canada business office. And there'll, be no toll charge attached to it, either.
October 17 is an important day for residents of Ontario. We are
given the privilege of really working at democracy instead of "merely
reading or talking about it. Our Provincial election, Oltober 17, provides
the opportunity for all of us to share the responsibility of living in a free
land. Use your vote -- it o precious a privilege and responsibility to
ignore.
How much can you say in a three-minute phone call? A lot. Slow
talkers can get in about 450 words, while people who talk fast can whiz
through about 750 words. Many important ideas can be expressed in three
minutes. Just consider: Lincoln needed only 267 words for the Gettysburg
Address and Shakespeare used just 363 for Hamlet's famous soliloquy
"To be or not to be." So when you have something to say to someone far
away, do try Long Distance — a real bargain. Especially if yourcalls' are
within Ontario and Quebec and you call any evening after 8 o'clock or
anytime Sunday.
