"If we win, that's good for the party, but if we lose, we'll be able to take a long-awaited holiday." Mrs. Thomas said: "I'm going| to get my way for the firsi time in 20 years because now we'll be able to do the travelling and visiting that's been my heart's desire." REASONS FOR LOSS Mr. Thomas attributed his loss to several factors. (1) Oshawa NDP supporters didn't turn out, as indicated by the light vote. (2) An undercurrent of "vicious propaganda" was used by the Progressive Conservative candidate. (Here Mr. Thomas charged that A. V. Walker told a gathering in Bay Ridges that Mr, Thomas never appeared in the legislature. "This is a de- liberate lie because not even the prime minister had a better at- tendance record."') (3) A weak Liberal candidate helped the Tories. (Liberals could not have been well satis- fied with the leadership of John Wintermeyer, said Mr. Thomas.) (4) Tory supporters stouped to low methods such as nailing their posters over NDP posters and ripping down throughout the riding.

TRIBUTE PAID Miss Aileen Hall, New Demo- cratic Party candidate in the last federal election, said: "Osh- awa has lost a fine representa- tive in Tommy Thomas. He has devoted many years of his life to public service." She said that she hopes Oshawa will be as well and conscientiously repre- sented in the future. "It's a curious way for a labor town to have voted," she con- cluded. Alderman Clifford Pilkey agreed with this point of view. "When we find a man who claims to be a unionist running for the Progressive Conserva- tives, we have reached a black day." He predicted that there will be repercussions in Queen's Park because of the NDP defeat in the Oshawa area. Keith Ross, secretary-treasur- NAMED COMPTROLLER Donald L. Souch, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. M.
