PREDICTS HANNA WILL
WEAR TOPPER AT THE TRACK
Writing in the Woodstock Sen
tinel-Review Don O’Hearri had
the following comment to make
regarding the appointment of
Johil Hanna, M.P.P. to the On
tario Racing Commission.
“Ontario will have* the best-
dressed racing commissioner
the country*
“John Hanna believes in dress
ing for the part.
“When he went to the Coron
ation last year, his first purchase
was a Windsor uniform, complete
with knee breeches.
“Now that he’s been made a
racing™ com missioner - we-bet--he-
has: an order in already for an
Ascot suit And if at next year’s
Queen’s Plate the ladies of Wood
bine don’t see the grayest and
tallest gray topper yet above hisA
smiling lace, it will only be be
cause E. P. Taylor has a corner
on the. market,.
“We .don’t know what the gen
ial member from Wingham knows
about racing — except from the
tote window end. . Or what /he j
Will contribute to the proceed
ings of the racing commission, i
But one can’t help but feel” good,
about his appointment.
“He has given generously of
hiihself in the ipublic service for
more than 10 years. He has had
that great quality of always be?,
ir.g able, to smile. Behind his off
hand front he has done a lot of
hard work. He has been a good
member, and it is pleasing to see
that a good pasture has been
found for at least ope veteran”.
