Mr. Taylor will remember his father, his two brothers and a good friend of his. He will also take time to remember a lot of people he doesn't know. In fact, veterans like Mr. Tay- lor throughout the world will take the time, on November 11, Remembrance Day, to remem- ber all of the people who sacri- ficed their lives for their coun- try. Although most of us take a few moments to say thank you to all the people who lost their lives, itis alot more personal for . Taylor.

"Remembrance Day means exactly what it says. It's a quiet time of thought," he says. Although he says many take the time to remember all those that lost their lives, it means far more to the veterans who came back alive. "When you've been exposed to war, youre a lot more aware than people who haven't had the exposure," he says. But Mr. Taylor believes, as do most veterans, that people to- day, especially the younger gen- erations don't understand the complexities of war. In order to educate them on the wars and the meaning of Re- membrance Day, Legion repre- sentatives will be attending a number of schools in the area. They will talk about their expe- riences as well as give them each a poppy to wear.

Asis the tradition for Remem- brance Day, the Legion mem- bers will be out selling the pop- pies as part of their annual Poppy campaign. Beginning Nov. 2 the members will be around town selling the bright red poppy, the symbol of Re- membrance Day.

The Port Perry woman en- tered the wedding cake category of the Bakery Production Club of Ontario's 50th Anniversary bakery contest held last week. Mrs. DeJong's Cinderella theme wedding cake placed sec- ond in a field of 15 entries. She ended up with the second-place prize money, but due to a point system, was awarded the gold medal. The cakes were judged on presentation, technique, diffi- culty, and color and design. It took Mrs. DeJong about two months to design and com- plete the beautifully decorated, 100 per cent edible cake. Most of the initial time wag spent mak- ing the edible Cinderella, Prince Charming, and pumpkin coach figurines. 8 was the first time Mrs. DeJong had entered the Produc- tion Club of Ontario's bakery contest. Her husband Ken hopes to persuade her to enter more bakery contests in the fu- ture. The DeJongs own Hank's Pastries in Port Perry. They hope to display the winning cake in the store's front window this week.
