14- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 14, 1995 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" > PORT PERRY STAR € RAL Roorts JEFF MITCHELL/PORT PERRY STAR STANDING ON GUARD: Roy Povey, Sergeant-At-Arms for Royal Canadian Legion Branch 419 in Port Perry, salutes during the Remembrance Day service held here Saturday morning. Driving rain forced the ceremony indoors at the Legion, but didn't deter a number of spectators from coming out to pay their respects. In addition, there was healthy representation from the local Scouting and Cadet movements, and many wreaths were dedicated by local groups and businesses. Hunters are a 'gorgeous sight' Oh! what a gorgeous sight! The deer hunters, Nov. 6 to Nov. 10 dressed in their orange hunt- ers jackets and hats! Seven came daily during the week for the big hunt. They were free and friendly chaps and do hope the boys had some luck!
