an inexperienced, outclassed
Abbotsford team for their fourth
straight victory. Abbotsford, on their
showing, behind
Mustangs in experience and class.
The game was
throughout, with
Setting Mustangs with unorthodox
play. Mustangs, with things pretty
much their own way, got sloppy
enough now and then to let Ab-
botsford seep through the defense.
Sometimes the visitors scored. Ref-
eree Fogg had a tough time what
with Abbotsford lacking knowledge
of the regulations:

The report goes on to say:

“Mustangs got their dander up
and began to pour it on. The spirit
of the evening was “hit him again,
he's still breathing. Ralph Ballam,
champion tooth buster hereabouts,
left Boyce of Abbotsford minus two
teeth; Pat Theal had a couple loos-
ened and veteran Jim Roberts
couldn't feel a thing with his jaw
when he left the game. Boyce and
Irvine split Abbotsford’s five coun-
ters between them.”

STUDENTS LOSE OPENER
Featuring a fast-flelding squad,
but rather weak with the willow,
the high school entry in the softball
league dropped their opening gamie
to the Daly-Hunters by a score of
14-8. The students opening chucker
had difficulty in finding the plate,
and handed out enough free tick-
ets to put the game on ice for the
down-towners. However, we venture
to predict that same _ scholastic
nine will win their share of games

AT TOWERS MEET

Five firsts in five starts was the
harvest of blue ribbons won by
Marjorie Hulton-Harrop of Abbots-
forl at the Towers College annual
Sports day at New Westminster on
Thursday. Marjorie, 17 years of age,
entered and placed first in the 220
and 100 yard races, the relay race
and both the broad jump and high
jump.

THAT TUNE-UP SESSION
PHECEDING THE OPENER
IN SOFTBALL SERIES

Aue Andrews soitual squad only
fet the waty-Hunt crew win the
first league game as a peace offer-
ing after the “merry-go-round” they
gave the Hardandryconfectioners in
the tuning up session which pre-

ceded the league opener. The viand
dispensers gave the _ thirteenth-
monthlybrick lineup the run-a-

round 21 to 3 and then sat back
in the opener so the crowd would
tarn up next time—or so they say.
And what was the score next time!

ANDREWS BEAT “ORPHANS”

The WNelson-Lawrence softballers
were beaten 11-3 by Andrews’ squad
Monday night. Although Andrews
hhad the better of the play all the
way through, one bad inning for
the ‘orphans’ made the score look
bad.

FOR A GOOD CAUSE

The fans contributed a little more
generously at the softball game on
Thursday night. The players ap-
preciate this as they are donating
the collections to the Children’s
Glasses Fund. The game tomorrow
night, Thursday, is between Andrews
and Daly-Hunt squads.

Calling

For Better Telephone Service
The Operators Will Say,

“THANK YOU”

Instead of Repeating the Number

Adopting a method already in use in Vancouver and
other British Columbia cities, Abbotsford telephone operators
will shortly cease to repeat the number back to the calling
party. They will simply say, ‘‘Thank you,’’ after being given
the number, and will then proceed to put the call through.

The new method, which is widely and successfully used
on this continent, not only provides a higher degree, of ef-
ficieney in handling calls, but also sets a standard of courtesy
which tends to make more pleasant the innumerable daily

contacts between the Telephone Company and the telephone
users,

The new operating practice will go into effect in the
Abbotsford exchange on June 2nd. Here is how @ call will

be placed under the new method:

Operator: ‘Number, please???

Party: ‘‘123,””

Operator: “‘Thank you.”

But if the operator is not certain that she has heard
the number correctly, she will say, ‘What number, please?’’
so that it can be repeated to her, and she will not proceed
‘with the call until she is sure of the number.
