The President of the Progressive Conservative Party in Durham, Marianne Manders, nominated Mr. Stevenson s0 that he may "continue his fine record." The nomination meeting was held on Thursday night at the Blackstock Commnunity Centre. Guest speaker for the evening was the Honourabie Doug Lewis, Solicitor General, 1 and representative for the riding of Simcoe North. Whecn speaking of Ross Stevenson, Manders says that 'there are few politcians who can equal Ross Stevenson." She later added, "it is no exaggeration to say that lhe has become a model of service" to his community. After being chosen as the representative for the Durham P.C.'s, Mr. Stevenison was invited to address the crowd. Mr. Stevenson explained that the "governments are being chailenged by the rapidity of change." He stated, as an example, th at in Durham Region in 1987 the population was recorded at 87,000. In 1991, the Region hiad grown i population to 120,000. "The constituency is growing, infrastructures are stressed, workloads are increasing."

Mr. Lewis believes that the Progressive Conservative Party will once again corne out on top after this federal election and was not shy in telling this to the assembled audience. "W've been kicked around, but this is our year to succeed," hie toid them. Mr. Lewis appears completely nonchalant about the question of the opposition parties.
