Mr. Honey was speýaking at thc Annual meeting of the Cobourg -Liberal Association. Mr. Honey said Marcel Fani- bauht's entry into the campaignI as a Conservative candidate had placed P.C.

Maintenatnce Of PC Party Unuty Strsessed The mainteniance of unity in then Progressive Conservative Party following the eleclion of Robert Stanfield as leader was stressed recently at the nomina- tion meeting of Northiumberland- Durham PC's in the auditorium of the Port Hope High School.
