There will also be door prizes to hold founding meet Don Stewart, the association probably has close to 300 mem- bers now compiled from lists of the old ridings of Durham West, Durham East and Oshawa and the main objective of the founding meeting will be to get these members together and Typewriter i, elect a new executive. "We want to get things started so it's going to be a business meeting more than anything else. We want to get the Whitby New Democrats together with the north Oshawa New Democrats. They haven't really worked together before and we want everybody to have a chance to meet," said Stewart. The association has yet to determine how much money it has in its coffers but Stewart said they will be taking about half of the old Durham West NDP riding association's funds, about 20 percent of the old Oshawa riding association's funds and a small share of the Durham East NDP fun- ds to build up the new association's pool. Steward said most of the initial organizing initiative is coming from the Whitby NDP's who comprise the largest part of the riding. In August the association put together a temporary executive to help get things organized but Stewart said they didn't want to establish a permanent executive until the fall when everyone was back from holidays. The founding meeting will be held at the Pringle Creek Com- munity Centre, 95 Crawforth St., begin- ning at 8 p.m. Included on the agen- da for the founding meeting will be election readiness and Stewart and wine and cheese. Advance tickets are $7 but tickets may be available at the door for $9 per person. Tickets are now on sale at ail YMCA offices in the region. P.C.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to ail in- terested women. Refreshments will be served.

To date no New Democrats have an- nounced that they will be seeking the Durham Centre nomination and Stewart said the search committee would be charged with finding candidates who would be an asset to the par- ty's campaign. "Given the outcome of the last provincial elec- tion and the new up- surge of the Liberals in the province I think anything can happen" in the next election, said Stewart. "The Conser- vative vote in Whitby will probably suffer because there's no in- cumbent. I think it's going to be an open race."

The Peter Perry Award for Whitby's out- standing citizen of 1986 takes on a special significance this year as 1986 marks the 150th an- niversary of Peter Perry's arrival in Whit- by.
