It's a brand new concept of television entertainment-value leader in the lowest price range for 1955 TV. The Labor-Progressive candi- date, Leslie Morris, is making "St. Laurent's sell-out of the St. Lawrence River" his main platform. A month ago, he led a national motorcade and dele- gation to Ottawa in support of his demand to keep the St. Law- rence Seaway Canadian. "The by-election gives the people of our riding an opportunity to register strong protest against the Government betrayal," 'he said., "Put Canada First" is the slogan for his party's national St. Lawrence Seaway Bruce Evans, 31, stationery salesman, the CCF nominee, is also at the beginning of his door-knocking crusade for votes. He has the help of an active party organization and new pro- vincial leader, Donald MacDon- ald. Together, they have met factory workers in a series of n6on-hour plant gate meetings in the Lakeshore and Etobicoke. Liberal candidate Robert M. Campbell said he deliberately waited until the by-election date was officially set, believing there would the be more public inter- est.

He also urges widening of the Highway 27 bridge over the CNR at Long Branch. Employment is Bruce Evans' issue. Unemployment, he says, "A Liberal in a Liberal Gov- erriment" is Bob Campbell's bat.. tling cry. "We are going to have a Liberal Government at Ot- tawa for the next three years, whether we like it or not," he said. Work began early last week on the construction of the new Loblaws supermarket on Main Street, Weston, just north of the Kresge store. It was announced that Bennett-Pratt Ltd. of Weston had been awarded the contract for the $180,000 iob. The Kresge company stated that work would commence almost immediately on the parking lot at the rear, using the fill ex- cavated, from the supermarket building project for t'ttsuasarking lot. The surface would be stoned this fall and a permanent surface put on the lot next spring, the Times and Guide was told. A smaller temporary lot has been made behind the store already.

My colleagues the minister of finance, Walter Harris and the minister of de- fence, Ralph Campney have kept in touch with me while I was in Quebec City to keep a speaking engagement and have given me some information on the extent of the damage that has been caused and of the part that the armed services, muni, cipal and voluntary workers and others have been playing in dealing with the emergency. I would greatly appreciate it if you would convey to the Red Cross workers and to the other voluntary workers the feeling of profound respect that their tireless and heroic response to this situation has engenered in their fellow Canadians.

He was accom- panied to the convention by Mr. W. Wilson, Sales Manager, Mr. A. Richards, Service Manager, and Mr. R. Carr, Parts Mana- ger. ' "Startling design and power changes in the completely re- vamped Chevrolet for 1955," Mr. Snider reported, "will make this the most important model Sver to be offered in the popu- lar-priced field." This was the unanimous re- action of 1,500 dealers and de- partment heads from points as widespread as Northern B.C. and Newfoundland, who gather- ed in Toronto for the record- shattering convention, Mr. Snider said. Big convention Impresses Local Auto Dealer The dramatic model changes were introduced in the first-. day feature of the convention, a two and a half hour glamour review that high-lighted the cars on the largest indoor stage ever built, against a background of costumed models, and speci- ally arranged music.
