SECON D SECTION Tournament Time LOCALS COULD WIN sport Spots By Fred Simpson 7 SPORTS RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1970 . Both games were well-played by both teams despite the first game's lopsided outcome. A good display of fast skating and close checking was featured in the tightly played second game. It was a very busy weekend for both Penetang and Rich- mond Hill players as the visi- tors from Georgian Bay were billeted over Saturday night in the homes of the local players. Sunday morning hosts and guests enjoyed a bowling party and movies before playing the second game. Lose Two To Penctang Newmarket 3. Lions 1 Allencourt Pill Rollers hosted Sunday.

But the Killers were not to be denied and came fighting back to win a real thriller in overtime by a 3â€"2 score. Scoring in regular time was a one-man effort by Mike Ham, who got both counters. His first was unassisted and the second was set up by Bobby Putnam to tie things up.

MEMO FROM A CAR DEALER V The reasons are complicated. but generally hinge around factory dealer warranty agreements that fail to provide for dealer compensation for diagnosis and the remedying of non-warranty faults without customer charge. ‘7 But the dealer must. supply these services to keep his customers loyal and satisfied. .They eat away at his sales profit. but build goodwilli Satisfaction comes largely from dealer attention to customer servicing. If the dealer is as ardent with service as in making the sale, the chances are good the buyer made a good bruyn Whyvthis ideal solution isn't universal l. that while the sale of the car is likely profitable by itself, service on the car often is not. Car shoppers soon learn they can buy at comparable prices at numerous dealerships. What they don't know is how much of the satisfaction they look forward to that they will actually receive. It‘s a human evaluation. They must shop for the dealership and service as well as the car. See you next week.
