WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1954 / *4- THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO :<k ..... ...............—-----------------------—.......... * QUEEN’S PARK REPORT The newest member of the On­ tario Racing Commission, John W Hanna, M.P.P., is a veteran politician who long has figured in public life, locally, provincially and nationally. Mr. Hanna, in fact, is ope of the best. known, political figures ■ in Ontario.. He has been a mem­ ber' of the legislature' since 1943, representing his home riding of .-3UI'on-Brrice.He:is-regarded-as one of the most icplorful members _of-the—OntarioAssembly.How-. ever, he has many . other inter-’ ests,- all of which have** added to Ihis wide acquaintanceship and his reputation with the people of the province. ■ Mr. Harina has been actively connected (with public life for more than 20 years.. His father —also John Hanna-—who was one of the pioneers in ther develop­ ment of Huron county, served as ' both mayor and reeve of his home, town of Winghafn. And in the ,1920’s. John W, Hanna took cn his interest in political life by serving first in the municipal field as alderman. Then for .five years as mayor-from .1936 to 1941. From there he stepped into the provincial field, successfully con­ testing the Huron-Bruce riding for the Progressive-Conservative party under .the leadership of Hon. George Drew in 1943,, arid retaining the seat iri four elect-- . ions since tKen. Like father, like son—Jo>hri Harina is a Presbyter- ■ ian. ; Since his first entry’ he .has always been one of the most prominent and most, popular members of the legislature. He has served on a great many com­ mittees—and—probably has been written about more than any private member. His unorthodox approach io problems and pa#-' ticularly his continual defence of “the little people” haye won him much recognition. His latest ser^ vice was as a member of the Select "Legislative Committee, in­ vestigating The Cemeteries Act. In 1948 he was widely men­ tioned across Canada for the naU ional Progressive Conservative leadership. He did not stand for the nomination, however. Mr. Hanna was bom in Wing­ ham. His father was a successful merchant who established a gen­ eral merchandise business y?hlch the sori has developed into two present day stores—one for wo­ men’s wear, a second for men’s wear. He also had the benefit of a .very exceptional mother 1907, carried on his business. She continued to run this business,' which grew so large that it had . 22 clerks, until well past 70. She died in 1921. . John Hanna, after early trairv ing .in the^public .schools at Wirig- ham, attended Lindsay Business College and from there entered the business world in Toronto. After training there- he returned to Wingham, and his business in- . ------1------------------------ --------------:------:---------:------L - --- JOHN W- HANNA, M.P.P.

In his early years he / played both lacrosse .and hockey. In the 1930’s he was an outstanding lawn bowler and toured England, Ireland and Scot­ land with the . famous team head­ ed by-A. M. Crawford. He main-, tains his active interest in that sport today. Among Other things, he sponsors Hanna’s Town-Hali­ ers which represents Wingham in the Juriior “B? ’ hockey league, and donates trophies for. a variety of events. Among, these is the Hanna trophy for the tug-of-war at Lucknow Fair, an annual con- ‘test which has" become widely known. /. A more serious interest has been his support and promotion of /research and ^government as­ sistance in the field of, heart dis­ ease. He was given a great deal of credit by Premier Frost last year when the. government er discussed this-phase of ernment interest. In racing he has had a connection with the sport his young days, and his love of it has carried him to many parts of Ithe world.- He has been pres­ ent at practically ever^ major racing ; event on the continent, and in additipn has f oil o wed the sport in England arid France; He , has .been ’ intimately associated with facing in Ontario ana lias, a wide acquaintanceship through­ out the. fraternity. -^~Mr. Hanna is married to the" former Esther Campbell: of Wb’od.stock, who is. a niece of A1-; bie Robinson, the famous runner j and athlete, of other days.
