Wladyka Mi jaflIflu VuronU to The name of Rickard will once again be on ai federal election ballot in Durham County. This lime the name wi]l be Garnel B. Rickard, of Shaw's, 47- ycar-old cousin of W. Frank Rickard, former Liberal M.P. for this constituenc-. Garnet Rickard wvas chosen the candidate at a' Progcressive-Conservative federal convention on Monday in Orono. The nomination meeting in the traditional spot,E the township hall in Orono, was one of the largesl ever seen in this area. More than 600 jammed the main floor, the gallery and overf]owed int the base- ment. They apparently expected a close contest andr got it, wiîh Mayor Michael Wladyka of Port Hopec pulting up a gallant fight. The balloting was 343 Rickard, Wladyka 203. Two other nominees, Reeve Lloyd Hooton of Cavan and Dr. Carmen Davey ofi ,PortHope wilhdrew before the balloting. Field Day Champs at B H sSI .............. vewiuun In his acceptance speech, Mr.1 Rîckard, the present rceve of Darlington Township, issued a ringing challenge ta the large crowd ta "Get at it" and win the next election and bring Durham back ta the Conservative fold. Defeated nominee Ma y or Wladyka echoed the challenge as he pledged his wholehearted sup- port la Mr. Rickard and the Conservative cause. Mr. Wladyka was the firstÉ naminated, his career being outlined by Port Hope PC Assn. President Keith Jack- son. His seconder was John Nesbitt of Cartwright. Harold Balson, head of Darlington PC Asso. nominated Mr. Rickard and his seconder was Douglas Hodgson, principal of Millbrook High School and son of Victoria's MP Clayton Hodgson. Percy Hamilton of Millbrook nominated Lloyd Hooton and his seconder was Reg. Fallis of Cavan. Victor Wilson, Hope Township, mov- ed the nomination of Dr. Carmen Davey, well known velerinarian, and Jack Reid of Orono was the seconder.

The Chamber of Commerce executive and its iiot too active membership is in the midst of an "agonizing reappraisal" as they say in political circles, following an attempt on Monday to clarify their position with council. They, un- doubtedly, came out second best in the encounter, as will be learned from news stories appearing elsewhere. The situation now is that the Chamber is supposed to prepare a program for council which they will analyze to determine if they will or wilI flot contribute assistance financially by way of a grant, subsidy or donation. In our humble opinion, before any such pro- gram is prepared. for submaission, steps must be taken by the Chamber ta determine its own strength or weakness. There seems ta be a lack of enthusiastîc support among business men them- selves who should be the most energetîc backers of this organization. A few sincere men have been trying to keep the organization going for the good of the comrnunity, because there stili is much worthwhile work that a Chamber of Commerce can do for Bowmanville. But, they have been bucking their heads against a stone walI of indifference and critîcism from those who refuse t lif t a finger to help. It also appears quite apparent that before co-operation can be expected from, this particular counici], some move will have to be made concern- (TURN TO PAGE TWO) . ts andi £Aieces MILK MONEY - At least two reports came in during the week of citizens who awoke ta find that someone had stolen the money fromrnilk bottles. This, of course, is flot new, but there hasn't been too much of it lately. One man reported that the thief or thieves had left a pair of shoes in exchan ,-e. Oddly enough, neither of the incidents had be reported ta police. t t t Tt NEW OPERATOR - Bud Virtue, formerly of Robson Motors, has taken over the Fina Station at the corner of Liberty St. South and Base Line iRoad. He will continue ta provide the customary services supplie d 1 y the former o perator. TRI-.SCHOOL MEET- On Friday, athietes and supporters from Clhirke, Courtice and Bowman- ville High Schools -will gather at the Ontario Training School for B3oys ta compete in the first tri-school meet they have been able to hold in this area. Formerly, Orono, Cartwright and Mill- brook staged several good meets, but with the growth of the new Clarke school it apparently was feit that its size pl-iced it in a better position ta compete with Coufflce and Bowmanviile. t tt i .tt FIRST AID COURSE - The St. John Ambulance will hold a First Aid cýurse aI the Lions Centre, starting on October 17th aI 8 p.m. Candidates will study for two hours a night, for seven sessions and will write tIxams on the eighth night.
