ONTARIO SOUTH'S FIRST CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE RECEIVES ROUND OF CONGRATULATIONS +» President Williams, Mr. Newman, Highways Minister McNaughton, Vice-President Mrs. Wetherall, Health Minister Dymond CAMPAIGN HELPS CREATE FINE COMMUNITY SPIRIT Newman Selected For Conservatives AJAX (Staff) -- A 38-year-old Pickering Township farmer, William 'Bill' Newman, was nominated last night as the Progressive Conservative can- didate in the new provincial riding of Ontario South. More than 350 PC enthusi- asts rallied at a country club west of Ajax to choose between Mr. Newman, who farms 800 acres, and John Goodwin, a 34- year-old worker in the tool and die division of General Motors Ltd. A total of 354 votes were cast and one that was spoiled was marked 'L, Pearson'. Mr, Newman in 1959 ran in the old provincial Oshawa rid- ing as a Conservative finishing second to T*D. 'Tommy' Thom- as, NDP, who has a 1,600 vote margin with 10,248. He has also served seven Hills, Dales Plan years on Pickering Township's Council, spending 1956 as reeve and 1955 as deputy-reeve, For the last five federal elections he has acted as campaign man- ager for Michael Starr, MP, Ontario riding. In a similar capacity, he pro- moted Albert V.

In order for any municipal. ity to develop this spirit, the people must work together in harmony toward a common goal, These are things which do not happen spontaneously, but must be developed care- fully and created' out of the interest and enthusiasm of the people who live here, Some people believe what goes on within a community is no concern : of theirs, They have not learned the lessons of co-operation which is the key, to any successful cause.

However, questions were then raised about the' rest of the sion on the Devil's Den area, the 11 members present agreed they were confused. One member expressed doubt that the authority really was familiar with the land in ques- The first phase leading to de velopment of the proposed Devil's Den Conservation Area may cost over 100,000 it was revealed last night At $400 per acre, could be $120,000.

Mr. Down's farm is included in the Authority's planned 1,200 acre conservation area south of Highway 7 and southwest of Brooklin The total area of and being considered for purchase by the Authority is 300 acres. his siderably less, OPTION The CLOCA has.a five year option on the land and under the terms of the option does not have to move before 1971 However, the authority's at- titude, as. expressed at the meeting, was that a decision should be reached sooner than that in deference to Mr. Down's age, He is 78. Therefore, members were urged Jast night to agree on the acreage to be immediately ac quired and to come to terms on future acquisition of the remain der of Mr. Down's land But, they got bogged down After about one hour's. discus tion, John Dryden, Reeve of Whiby Township, suggested Mr. Down should have been present at the meeting to clarify any details the authority felt were cloudy. "Few people on the Authority are acquainted with the lay of the land," he said. STUDY MAP With an outline-map of the area spread before them the members poured over a com plicated designation of borders on Mr. Down's land and tried to agree exactly what portions of the land should be immedi- ately purchased. At the beginning of the meet- property and whether it would be fair to Mr. Down to accept his creek-bottomed property and delay purchase, for some years, of the land not serviced by water "We may be taking advan tage of him if we take all the creek property," one member observed A. H. Murdoch, CLOCA chair man, said that Mr. Down was willing to sell the creek land if the Authority gave firm assurance 175 adjacent acres would also be bought He would be willing to sell fer less than $40@ an acre if the No, 2 (175 acres) area will be taken," Mr. Murdoch said. The members suggested that Mr. Down himself was con- fused over the original objec- tives as presented by the Au- thority and was also concerned whether he wanted to sell all his land or just part of it, Finally, after agreeing that both the Authority and Mr. Down were generally in the dark, a motion was passed to visit Mr. Down at his farm. The motion asked that all the members be present on the land Saturday and discuss' pur- chase of the tract now optioned and attempt to decide if all his land is necessary 'more or less with the benefit of all con- cerned." night at an authority meeting on an amendment to the Ex- propriation Procedures which now requires any con- servation authority which pro poses. expropriation te state its case at a hearing before a county judge.
