L AI NIWSI The Liberal nomination meeting originally scheduJed for tonight at Harwood Secondary School has had a last minute change of loca- tion. The apparent reason given for the abrupt change of location. is the unexpected indication of the numerous turnout,' which apparently will be too many people for any local location. Hence the nomination meeting (still tonight) will be held at St. Peter and Paul Church Hall on Mfilner Ave. one block north of highway 401 off Markham Road. The time has also been changed to 8 p.m. Des Newman told the Free Press that anybody who may have transportation difficulties as a result of this change should cail him immediately at 668-4905 or 668-9370.
