B. Spa- doni, Schreiber, and Toi Sep- pala, Rossport, auditors. Eric Rutherford, Beardmore is the immediate past president and the honorary presidents are Eino Peterson, Nakina; Harvey Smith, Thunder Bay; and Toi Seppala, Rossport. Mr. Rutherford who presided for the first part of the meet- ing, asked first, for a moment's silence in memory of the late J. D. (Jack) Phillips, in tribute to his devotion, loyalty, and service to the Conservative party. Mr. Rutherford expressed his pride and appreciation of the _ sound support . given by the members from - Northwest- ern Ontario at the recent lead- ership convention in Toronto. He also asked for a vote of appreciation to the committee which had made such excellent arrangemnents for the dinner meeting and dance which un- fortunately had to be cancelled. But he hoped the event can be arranged again and that they will act again, Al Harvey Smith made a sug- gestion which was favorably considered hy the members; that _Atikokan and Dryden areas, and White River, be of- fered representation, since they are part of the Thunder Bay riding for Federal purposes. . Lorne Colpitts of Thunder Bay gave a most interesting address, mentioning first the Strong impact on the leader- .ship convention by the contin- gent from Northwestern On- tario, the group including three riding presidents. He listed some points which he considers a weakness in oth- er political parties and where the Progressive Conservatives differ. . The PC party is one whose -aims and objectives can move with the times, he said, but whose concern is unchanged re- garding the individual's basic freedoms, . and, the rewarding of individual initiative. A recent poll, said Mr. Col- pitts, showed 44 per cent of the popular vote favored the Pro- gressive Conservative party. "Our party," he said, "is not just a colléction of principles but a deep involvement with people, headed by leaders who will" listen." "The PC Party wants -no si- lent majority, and, at last," he added with a smile, '"North- westerfi Ontario has become 2 very vocal area." Mr. Harness then took over 'the chair, thanking the mem- bers for the honor paid him and assuring them that he will try hard indeed to discharge his duty. To a suggestion that the presi-- 'dent and secretary respond te a call from a riding committee Mr. Harness said he felt this could be arranged and would be happy to go. A notice of motion, to have a per capita or percentage of dis- trict committee dues placed in the riding treasury, was place ed on the agenda for the next meeting. . : It was the largest attend- ance, for some time, at an annual meeting, a certain indi- cation of increased interest in - party affairs, and the discus- sions were varied and lively.
