Honey off to a good, if somewhat late, start in Cobourg on Monday night. Between 700 and 800 people turned up to see Honey nominated by acclamation in the auditorium of Cobourg Collegiate West.

In " his nominating speech Mr. Clarke never mentioned the F.C. candidate candidate Allan Lawrence by name but ha made several remarks obviously directed directed at him. Mr. Clarke stressed Honey's "genuine involvement with tile people of Northumberland-Durham". which, he said "was not won in a lour week, raz- zlc-dazzle campaign."
