But while chill November winds blew outside, the Blackstock Town Hall was warm inside with prayers, songs and solemn words dedicated to those who died in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. » IN - . wh Re RGNw RB : pS ; LR TNR Roch C- aang Satis Ll Rea Despite many empty seats, the service was a touching onc, with a March on the Colours, a welcome on behalf of Scugog Township from Mayor Jerry Taylor (onc of his last official acts as Mayor), and a scripture reading from Har- vey Graham.

Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police are asking for the Public's help in solving a Robbery which occurred at the Oshawa Shopping Centre parking lot on October 28. At about 4:35 p.m. a 72 year old woman had just left the Oshawa Centre through the South East doors and was walking towards the City Bus Shelter. When she was about half way there a youth ran up beside her and grabbed a plastic grocery bag which she was carrying. This bag contained a few grocery items plus her purse which contained her ID, cash and a number of Canada Savings Bonds. She hung onto the bag and they struggled over it for a short time but the suspect managed to rip if from her which caused her to fall to the ground, injuring her arm. The suspect then ran South towards the traffic lights at Gibb Street and disappeared. The bandit is described as be- ing in his teens and about 5' 7°'. He was wearing a red ball cap which fell off at the scene. Later that evening the Canada Savings Bonds were found on Gib- bons Street which is on the East side of the Centre. Two days later the grocery bag, still containing the groceries and her purse with the I1.D., etc. was found in the ditch on Lyndebrook Road near Country Lane in Whit- by which is about 7 miles away. The only property missing is $30.00 in cash. A re-enactment of this Robbery will be shown on CITY TV Chan- nel 57, Cable 7 on Thursday, November 17th during the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. News.
