Rd --~ OBITUARY - Provincial Minister Roy Scott After experiencing several vears of heart seizures and many emergency visits to hospital Mr. Roy * Seott passed away quietly at his own home on July 15th and the people of Seagrave and district lost a good friend. Mr. Scott, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Les Scott was born in Port Hope, Ontario more than 76 years ago. He had no memories of that town as the family moved when Roy was about 3 years old to New Liskeard where he received his schooling and grew into young manhood. The outbreak of World War 1 in 1913 changed whatever plans he may have had regarding his future, and he became so convinced that his duty lay in serving his country as a soldier, that he misrepresented his age in order to enlist in the ser- vices. He was sent overseas and served faithfully and well for the duration and his friends have often heard him tell how he fought at the battle of Vemy Ridge on his 18th birthday. He returned to Canada in 1919 and shortly after moved with the family to the farm just south of Seagrave on what is still called by the name of Scott's hill. His marriage to Miss Gadys Harrison of Myrtle took place in 1920 at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the couple continued to live and raise their family on this same farm until 1967 when they retired to Seagrave village where they built a new home. Anyone acquainted with Roy Scott knows that he was of an outgoing nature with many and varied interests and could be regarded as a Rbkstlutbldimsiidaiiic tl. good tamily man, a good neighbour and a good citizen. Roy's overseas experience always remained fresh in his mind and it is interesting to note that for the more than 50 years since the war he kept in close touch with his old regimental buddies of whom only two now survive. All those years he has been a loyal member of veteran's organizations and in 1967 was given the honour of attending the Vimy Memor- ial in France. Another of his areas of interest was in sports. In his vounger days Roy was a player of both baseball and hockey and retained a lively interest in every kind of sport right until the very last. Roy used some of his other talents for political purposes and for several years served as councillor for Reach township. For a longtime he was a staunch supporter of the C.C.F. and later the N.D.P. in which he held a life membership. Close relatives left to mourn his passing are his wife Gladys, 2 sons, (Ken of Oakwood and Beverley of Oshawa) 12 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and his only sister Mrs. Ombra Clarke of Little Britain. A third son, Harold, passed away some years ago. A large number of friends and relatives gathered to pay their last respects at funeral services conducted by Rev. J. Roundell in the Port Perry funeral chapel. Roy was borne to his last resting place in Pleasant Pt. Cemetery by 6 grandsons - Dowg Scott, Gordon Scott, Don Scott, Ken Scott Jr., Bill Porter and Jim Andrews. issues warning Hon. Herb Gray, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs today warned con- sumers, particularly those living near the United States border, of a deceptive sales practice involving ovenware sets... The goods, manufactured in the United States and brought into Canada by the promoters are ovenware sets sold under the names of Primrose Dream, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary. The promoters distribute handbills at factory gates, hair salons, banks and on the street announcing a sale of a 31 or 35 piece set of oven- ware as valued at $89.50 and selling for $15 to $20 while the true retail value is estimated at $12 to' $15. Some of the handbillg also identify the locations of the sale on the following two or three days. The sales crews moved into Canada this spring with first complaints reported to the department in April. The department, working closely with the RCMP, subsequent- ly carried out investigations in a number of Canadian cities following which the Department of Justice charged nine men, all U.S. residents, with misrepresen- ting the ordinary price of goods in violation of Section 36 of the Combines Investiga- tion Act. Convictions have been registered against the nine men in Sherbrooke, Que. Ottawa and Bathurst, N.B. Investigators with the department have also recei- ved assistance and co-op- eration from the Department of Manpower and Immigra- tion, provincial police and the public. Additional complaints alleging similar selling techniques are being investigated. The Department of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs not only is warning Cana- dians to be on the alert for these ovenware operations, but, is also asking them to call the department's office nearest them and report any similar operations in their area. Name sign no longer required Transportation and Com- munications Minister John R. Rhodes has announced that owners of small trucks are no longer required to have their names printed on the side of their vehicles. The amendment to the Regulations of Ontario made under The Highway Traffic Act became effective July 2, 1974. The amendment exempts all commercial motor vehicles having a gross weight of not more than 18,000 pounds, in addi- tion to motorized mobile homes and trucks fitted with camper units which were exempted under a previous regulation. The new regulation is the result of increased popu- larity in the use of small commercial motor vehicles as a means of private trans- portation. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 31, 1974 - OCBL regular season coming to a close This report is the second last one that will deal with the OCBL's regular season play. There will be only two unreported nights of regu- larly scheduled games left, one of which will have already taken place. This season has witnessed the closest competition for first place with the possibil- ity of any one of three teams being able to claim the top position in the League. Stone Real Estate, Raglan Recre- ation and Greenbank Gam- blers are all in contention and only the last games of the season will reveal who has won. There was a very good fight shaping up be- tween Bell Oshawa and Nes- tleton in these last weeks but the Bell team has failed to complete ils remaining schedule because many of it's players have gone on holidays. If Bell cannot fulfill it's commitments, then the games it fails to play will be forfeited to its opponents. Results: Tuesday, July 16, Stone 4, Nestleton 5. Wednesday, July 17.
