Last Post As a large crowd of people of all ages watched quietly, the Last Post, played by Mayor Gil Robillard, rang across the grounds, its haunting sound conjuring up bittersweet memories. As the final notes drifted away and the flags of the colour guard posted at the Cenotaph were lowered, "Q' Canada' was sung and then followed words of prayer from Padre Sinclair, and thoughts on the meaning of Rememberance Day by Mayor Robillard.

There followed the placing of wreaths by representatives of the Canadian Legion, the Armed Forces, the Town of Penetanguishene, police, firefighters and other organizations. After a rendition of '"God Save the Queen", the parade formed again for a final march down Main Street. Included in the parade were representatives of the Armed Forces, the police and fire departments of Penetanguishene, the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion and members of the Scout and Guide movements. : As the parade once again marched proudly down Main Street, led by veterans who one day had marched down the main streets of towns in France and Germany, the poppies covering the wreaths at the Cenotaph remained as reminders in the bitter November wind. for members Huronia Trails Snowmobile Club, a new club, will be operating out of the Penetanguishene-Lafontaine area this season and the new club is presently looking for members and volunteers to help get it off the ground.

Anyone who joins is automatically _ regist- ered with the O ntario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs and the Huronia Snowmobile _Associa- tion.
