York-Durham at a meeting held last Wednesday evening at Uxbridge High School. Mr. Stevenson, who has i not been elected to any public office, won the nomination on the first ballot, beating out Reg Rose and Yvonne Christie, both from Scugog Township, for the right to carry the Tory banner in the March 19 provincial election. Approximately 500 dele- gates cast ballots at the meeting, and although the exact breakdown of the voting was not disclosed, the ~ Star has learned that Mr. Stevenson's margin of victory was substantial as he collected about 300 votes to 100 for each of his opponents. The battle by the three candidates to win the nomin- ation was hotly contested and at times bitter, and this surfaced during the evening with supporters of both Mrs. Christie and Mr. Rose charg- ing that their favourites had trouble getting lists of delegates names from the Sutton and Keswick area of the riding. Mr. Rose confirmed this in a brief interview following the meeting saying he did not received the names of 12 Keswick delegates until 24 hours before the nomination.

At a nomination meeting in Uxbridge Sunday afternoon, Marg Wilbur, 41, a mother of three who lives in Scugog Township, was acclaimed to carry the banner for the NDP in this riding, and she joined guest speaker Mike Breaugh in telling the audience that this riding can "no longer be considered a safe one for the Conserva- tives." Mrs. Wilbur is no stranger to politics, having worked on numerous campaigns for the NDP in this area, but this will be her first attempt to get elected. Noting that the NDP ran second in the riding to the Conservatives in the 1977 election, Mrs. Wilbur told the nomination meeting that the party's strength has in- creased each year and she urged her workers to "find an extra 30 or 40 voters' at each of the 146 polls through- out the far-flung riding. Mrs. Wilbur called the NDP "the one party that has practical solutions to the problems facing Ontario at this time." She referred to NDP amendments which 'put some teeth' in the legisla- tion covering gravel pils and operations to protect the environment. Mrs. Wilbur criticized the Conservatives job creation policy, saying over the last four years, there has been between 280,000 and 300,000 people out of work each year" in Ontario. She said that over the last ten years, 5000 jobs have been lost in the food process- ing industry in the St. Catharines area of the (Turn to page 3) Marg Wilbur of Scugog Township was unopposed in her bid for the New Democratic Party nomination Sunday for the riding of York-Durham.
