The over 400 peosons in at tendance at the nominating con- I vention gave her a tremendous. ovation when she entered the Montague Regional High School auditorium. and again when she appeared on the stage following her nomination.

She said an election, British Defence Bill w Heads For New Record unanimously . at this time was unnecessary. “but the three opposition parties and the United States con-gross were able to bring it about.“ “This will not do the oppos- ‘ition any good.
