Lovekin spent his part in the last three federal elections work- ing as "oficial agent" to Liberal MP Russell Honey in Durham riding. tical campaigning across the province that will not let up for another 35 days. In four local ridings, speech- making to date has been light but three political parties have entered a total of nine candi- dates in the election running. And with the nomination dead- line only 23 days off, at least two more candidates (and pos-| sibly three) are expected to join the stumping in the con- stituencies of Ontario, Oshawa, Ontario South and Durham. As it now stands, the Progres- sive Conservatives, Liberals and the New Democratic Party have nominated three candi-| dates each and all plan to hold one moré 'nomination meeting apiece. FOUR NEWCOMERS Four of the candidates are newcomers to the political game and the five other probabilities have tasted either all or some of federal, provincial or munici- pal politics. In the PC corner of the ring, there is first of all Dr. Matthew Dymond, Ontario's minister of health since 1958 and an MPP for Ontario riding since 1955. Albert Walker, member for Osh- awa, is stepping through the political ropes with a one-for- one record behind him. Mr. Walker upset a New Demo- cratic Party applecart in 1963s' election by defeating T. D. "Tommy" Thomas. For Durham, there is Alex Carruthers, who is expected to win the PC nomination in that riding by acclamation at Orono's town hall, Sept. 20. Carruthers, the 59-year-old prin- cipal-on-leave from Port Hope's only. senior public school, was first elected to the Durham seat in 1959. He was re-elected in 1963. With that line-up, the battle on the local hustings is shaping up to be a good one. The Liberals have come up with a 43-year-old insurance underwriter in Oshawa riding whose name is James Potticary -- one-time steel mill worker and current Oshawa Separate School Board trustee. FAMILIAR FACE But a more familiar political contestant of Mr. Walker's holc would have to be Clifford Pilkey, on the NDP ticket. He is strid- ing to the ring with a load of Political grief on his shoulders -- having lost in his bid last Dec. 5 for a position on Osh- awa's new board of control. Richard Lovekin appears to be the man who could turn the 'tables on Mr: Carruthers ir Durham. At age 43, he classes himseli as a "poor man's Terry Kelly' BACK-ROOM BOY room boy," was one of Mr. Lovekin's opening p in a press interview.

I lines OF ONTARIO SOUTH CREATED BY REDISTRIBUTION --- Ontario County Split Into Oshawa, Ontario, Ontario South Ridings Nine Candidates In Running } Nominations Still Expected old provincial riding of Oshawa and some of Ontario riding, and it works to the advantage of all three party candidates, Thomas Edwards, Alban Ward and William Newman. Edwards, finance chairman of Whitby's town council, has been in provincial runnings be- fore as a CCF or NDP candi- date but he had to make his political swings in Ontario rid- ing before redistribution. He lost in 1959 and again in 1963-- when Dr. Dymond won decisive- ly in both elections. Alban Ward is the Liberal The two happen to be personal No NDP candidate has been announced for Durham riding (provincial) as yet -- but the meeting to do it is set for Sept. former GM blue-collar worker who became an Orono public school principal. He also has-a 168-acre farm in the area of Elizabethville and has never been in politics before. DYMOND FAVORED It appears on the surface that Dr. Dymond will win again .in Ontario riding -- though it isn't just to be a matter of pulling out and dusting off his political podium of 1963. The only nominated contes- tant he faces so far as is Allan McPhail, the NDP candidate from Cannington, where for the last 14 years he has been a history instructor at Brock District High School. He is also the school's vice-principal. Me- Phail is going into the duel with a three-strikes record. Three times he tried his luck federally in the riding of Vic- toria, and three times he failed. But his chin is still up for this one. As he put it: "We are all geared for action." The Liberals are having a time even getting a candidate for Ontario riding; they have held two nomination meetings but can't come up with their man. A main party spokes- man, Frank Godley, an insur- anceman from Port Perry, says with redistribution the riding has become strictly rural, And, the Liberals want a farmer or an area lawyer who could get across strong agricultural view- points, Asked if the Liberals will have a candidate, he said: "Your guess is as good as mine." The real political bout to watch will possibly be in On- ario South -- the new consti- 'uency that emerged from rid- ng redistribution legislation, Tuly 8, 1966. didate. He is the 38-year-old vice-principal of Sir John A. Macdonald Public School in Pickering and is also a mem- ber of Whitby town council. He is a newcomer who served in an executive capacity with the area Liberal group in 1963 and is president of the Liberal party of Ontario South. Mr. Newman is the Conserva- tive hopeful who made an un- successful provincial bid in 1959 -- finishing second to T. D. 'Tommy" Thomas (NDP), who in turn was defeated by Mr. Walker in 1963. Mr. Newman has an 800-acre farm and has served seven years on Pickering Township's Council, spending 1956 as reeve and 1955 as deputy-reeve. For the last five federal elections he has worked for Michael Starr, MP, Ontario riding (fed- eral), NEW AREAS Under redistribution, © Osh- awa's boundaries surround the extent of Oshawa riding.

Mr. Allen suffered a laceration but no serious injury. The attempted robbery and the assault are being investi- gated by Constable William Koleniak of the Pickering Town- ship Police.

Mr. McPhail, vice-principal of Brock District High School, was nominated to contest the seat held by Dr. Matthew B. Dymond at a convention last April.
