When asked what kind of a leader the Conser- vatives should select this fall, Mr. Stevenson said one who is 'dynamic and innovative," and one who is a good television performer. 'Like it or not, the TV image is crucial for a political leader these days. That image can be a dominant factor in the results of an election," he stated. If, as expected, the leadership convention is held late in November or early December, delegates from the York Durham riding likely will be selected in late September or early October. Party organizers do not want any of the leadership race or con- vention to clash with the timing of the municipal elections which take place across Ontario on November 12.

August 27, 1985 -- 3 Ten year old Jennifer Geer of Prince Albert has been nominated for the Ontario Community Newspaper Association's Junior Citizen of the Year. Jennifer was a source of strength and inspiration to her family last year when her younger brother Matthew was stricken with cancer. She went through a bone marrow transplant for Matthew and spent countless hours with him in hospitals in Toronto and Boston. Tragically, young Mat- thew passed away last March. Despite the personal trauma in her life, Jennifer has remained very active in sports, music and school events.
