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.

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.
