MacDonald is the new commander of Toronto Militia District. Canadian Forces Photo Gits have no local candidate The Durham West ridlng may not have a Liberal candidate- to vote for in the next provincial election. Nominations for the Liberal party candidacy closed last Thursday without an interest being expressed. The meeting to choose the, officiaI nominee was to be held tomorrow. However, it is doubtful there will be a meeting unless someone steps forward. 1Judi , 'Longfield, executive vice- president of the Durham West Riding Association, apparently had no alternatives and wasn't quite sure what the party will do. The constitution governing party organization gives no direction to local associations unable to find a standard bearer. It does say that the 168 hours between the opening of nominations and the closing date can be waived if it is in the best interesta of the par- ty and the riding. If there are still no nominees before tomorrow's meeting, nominations can be taken from the floor. Longfield said that the party did have an ex- cellent potential can- didate but he is hoping he won't *have to run. The reason for his hesitancy -was unclear except that he has per- sonal plans for the near future and feit he was unable to put out the required time. 1The lack of response monio'e-tha! is plei annoij Sappoil "~ç«>CHARI Exclusé Whitby We invite ail herj customers & friend her at our salon loc 900 Bonacordà Whltby 666-2 24 Mon.

"Other people talked to us, " said Longfield, "but al of them were involved in the federal election and are tired. " Longfield however, was confident that a candidate would be found and it would not be necessary to bring in somene from another riding. CONT'D PROM PG. 1 concerned about the museum becoming a burden on the taxpayers yet its actions are en- suring that virtually everY other source of funds will disappear over the next few year. While he dlaims to have been advocating a masterplan and feasibiity study for Lynde House for many years, Anderson rejects MOving it to Cullen Gar- dens. Hie said he discussed the matter with Len Culien, owner 0f the attraction, in early 1982. "We came to an un- derstanding that for a variety of reasons the two operations were not ail that compatible and that for the forseeable future we wouid follow separate paths."Y Anderson also went on to severely criticize Whitby Town Coundil saying their biggest failure "has been their incredlibly paternalistic manner of dealing with the society and the museum. "The town has con- sistently, refused to discuss the future of Lynde House with the people who have kept it running for the Iast 12 years," he added. To ignor them is "an act of unbelievable -arrogan- ce."y He' said he has put 3,000 to 4,000« hours in working for the museum oVer the past few years and has built up a bat- tery of contacts which could have made the Statement of Goals and Objectives a reality. "But for Iack of any encouragment from the town ail this' has been for naught," Anderson said. "Town council has allowed itself to become incredibly isolated from the community it is sup- posed to serve. "Instead of co- operating, with com- mnunity groupe and in- dividuals, it has become secretive and confron- tational." He also accused coun- cil of ignoring outside comments. "Any input from commumity groups, taxpayer groups or in- dividuals is viewed suspiciously at best and generally ignored."' And with that Doug Anderson appears to have washed his handsý of the ongoing con- troversy concerning the Lynde House. italon ased to ice the rtment of MAIN E RYAN of:- ve Hair Design former s to visit ca4ed 'at: Ave.. 2244 IOp.m. 1 -6:00 p.m. .-*0 OP.m. *. 4:00 p.m. GLEN SULLIVAN Authorized Esso'Service Dealer .1686-4151, *Boilers &,Circulating Pumps 1Oil & Gas Service »Pumpout Service *oHumidiflers ,@0!l & Gas Service & Plan Available *Air Conditioning Parts Protection M HOME COMFDRT
