      New mayor for Uxbridge. The four-way race for the mayor's chair in Uxbridge was won last night by pharmacist Gord Davie, 40, in his first try for political office. Watching the election returns in his living-room he is flanked by campaign workers Bev Fellows (left) and Mary Lettau. Although he didn't campaign specifically on the issue. Davie was regarded by many citizens as an anti-penitentiary candidate. Major issue was proposed to build a $13 million prison reception centre in the township.
