The annual Remembrance Day service was held in our church, Sunday morning and for the third consecutive Sunday the building was filled to the doors. Opening with words of welcome from our minister the National Anthem, "O Canada", was sung, followed by appropriate hymns, and the choir's selection "'Let There Be Peace on Earth, and Let it Begin With Me." This included also a fitting recita- tion by Mrs. Montgomery. Rev. Montgomery's mes- sage for this special occasion, was entitled, "For Jonathan's Sake," and left us with a strong feeling of pride in the tact that we are all Canadians, today, regardless of our Eth- nic backgrounds. Following the singing of the last hymn came "The Last Post" two minutes of silence then Reveille, and the Lament "Amazing Grace" and the laying of wreaths, nine in ail, as follows: Province of Ontario, Town of Newcastle, Veterans, Ladies Auxiliary, United Church, Women's In- stitute, Newtonville Cubs, Newtonville Brownies, and Newtonville Girl Guides. Prayer and Benediction was followed by the Royal Anthem (The Queen) The Color Party then came forward to receive the colors, and parade out of the church. Those who laid the wreaths, picked them up and followed the parade to the Cenotaph, where they were placed and after a moment's silence, all retired. Again, we would like to say how grateful we are to all those who have helped in so many ways to make this such a meaningful service -one that willl ong be remembered here. "With the rising of the sun, and the going down thereof, we shall remember them." Mr: and Mrs. Brian Metcalf, Bowmanville, were Saturday evening visitors wilh Mr. and Mrs. F. Henderson.

Newtonville Cub News Our Cub Pack is now well under way. The first meeting was held on September 29 with 19 boys and four leaders registered. The new Akela this year is Pat Gardner, and his assistants are Gord White and Ed Van Haverbeke, with Doug Savery as Junior Leader. We think they are all doing a fine job. The first event for the boys this year was the Scout Calendar sale. It was held on Saturday, October 4, with a very good turn out by the boys. The new chums in the Cub Pack were presented with their white neckerchiefs at the second Cub meeting. They will wear the white neckerchiefs until they have finished their Tenderpad training and are invested into the Cub Pack. Then they will be allowed to wear the Cub Pack necker- chiefs. Good luck new chums! The next annual event was the Boy Scout Apple Day held on Saturday, October 25 The boys were~asked to decorate baskets on the Boy Scout Apple Day theme, The baskets were entered into competition, and were judged by Don Vinkle, who the leaders would like to thank for his time and a job well done. It must have been a very tough decision to make, as all the boys did a fine job on their baskets, but Don was able to pick three of them which he felt deserved prizes. The following boys were the winners: 1st prize - Drew McOuat, 2nd prize Chad Crosbie, 3rd prize - Robbie Cox. Congratulations to all of you. As well as doing the Newtonville area, and the Esso Service Centre, the boys also did Newcastle this year, which without the parents help could not have been done. All of the ghosts and goblins were out in full force on October 27 at the Cub Hall. It was Hallowe'en Party time, and all the boys were dressed in their spookiest and funniest costumes. A big thankyou to Stu Rundle for the fine job he did in judging the costumes. It was tough chore, but Stu was able to pick some winners. Prizes went te the boys with the Most Original Costume, and the Most Humorous Cos- tume. After the judging, the boys and leaders enjoyed an evening of games and fun. A snack of cookies and pop finished off the party, and was served by Doris Chrysler and Miss Willems. The leaders and boys would like to thank them for their help The Cub Pack now has 20 boys, and they will not be taking any more registrations at this time. The following is a list of boys in the Newtonville Cub Pack: Jeff Caswell, George Chrysler, Chad Cros- bie, Richard Fonk, Tim Gard- ner, Jaison Gibson, Edward- Innis, Kyrke Innis, Drew McOuat, Darren Osborne, John Osborne, Brett Owens, Michael Umphrey, Steven Van Haverbeke, Daniel White, Peter Willems, Stephen Will sher, Robbie Cox, Jeff Page, Steven Dempsey. Parents please note that our Group Committee would also like your support. We meet the first Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m., with the next meeting to be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Osborne, on December 3. We hope you will plan to attend.
