None of the senior delegates questioned after the meeting would say which candidate they intended to support. Of the two youth delegates, Doug Earle, a Port Elgin native, said he would support Dennis Tim- brell, while Ross Farrell from Ripley was undecided. Four women and four men will attend the convention as senior delegates. They are Judy Snobelen, Margaret Bennett, Alma Conn, Bar- bara Fisher, John Slade, Ken Campbell, Loran Peters and Weir Seane. Alternates are Nancy Becker, Emma Peters, Don Poulton and Glenn Sutton. Alternate youth delegates are Melanie Franklin and Scott Steele. The riding association also elected its new executive members. They are Mike Snobelen, past president; Mrs. Fisher, president; Mrs. Bennett, first vice president; Ken Campbell, second vice president; Don MacLeod, secretary, and Joe Reichenbach, treasurer. In other business the .association decided to cut off issuing new memberships 14 days before a vote is to be held. The previous cut-off point was 72 hours before a vote. Mrs. Fisher said the executive wants to put a stop to the "fire sales" of memberships before an election, adding that 72 hours does not give enough time to prepare an accurate list of eligible voters. The executive had looked at the option of selecting delegates using a ward system, but turned it down feeling it would restrict the number of eligible voters. 1 "We want Conservatives voting and not Liberals, that's all we're saying," said Don Alton, an association member. The 14 -day cut-off applies only to new members joining the party. People whose memberships have expired will have voting privileges the day they renew. The association also decided that announcing nomination meetings by moiil is too costly and time couming. It approved a Fordwich Personals The sympathy of the community goes to Mrs. Clarence Gibson and family in the death Monday of her husband, Clarence, who passed away in the Listowel Memorial Hospital.
