The selection of Mr George Barclay, of Waimate, to contest the Oamaru seat at the general election in the interest of the Democratic Labour Party, has been announced. Mr Barclay is a member of a well known pioneering family of Banks Peninsula and is' a brother of Mr J. G. Barclay, Minister for Marketing and Agriculture. He has been farming all his life.
