Racing Commission is Latest
Endeavor of lohn Hanna, MJ».P.
The newest member of the Ontario
Racing Commission, John "W. Hanna,
M.P.P., is a veteran politician who long
has figured in public life, locally, pro
vincially and nationally,
Mr. Hanna, in fact, is one of the
best known political figures in Onr
tario. He has been a member of the
legislature since 1943, representing
his home riding of Huron-Bruce, He
js regarded as one of the most color
ful members of the Ontario Assembly.
However, he has many interests,- all
of which have added to his wide
acquaintanceship and his reputation
with the people of the province..
Mr. Hanna has been actively con
nected with public life for more than
20 years. His father, also John Han
na, who was one of the pioneers in the
development of Huron County, served
as both mayor and reeve of his home
town of Wingham. And in the 1920’s
John W. Hanna took on his interest
in political life by serving first in
the municipal field as aiderman. Then
for five years as mayor from 1936 to
1941. From there he stepped into the
provincial field successfully contest
ing the Huron-Bruce' riding for the
Progressive-Conservative party under
the leadership of Hon. George Drew in
1943, and retaining the seat in four
elections since then. Like father, like
son—John Hanna is a Presbyterian.
Since his first entry he has always
been one of the most prominent and
most popular members of the legis
lature. He has served on a great many
committees and probably has been
written about more than any private
member. His unorthodox approach to
problems, particularly his continual
defence of “the little people” have
won him much recognition. His latest
service was a member of the
Select Legislature Committee investi
gating The Cemeteries Act.
In 1948 he was widely mentioned
across Canada for the national Pro
gressive Conservative leadership. He
did not stand for the nomination,
however.
Mr. Hanna was born in Wingham.
His father was a succesful merchant
who established a general merchan
dise business which the son has de
veloped into two present day stores—
one for women’s wear a second for
men’s wear. He also had the benefit
of a

WALDEN TRANSPORT
URGE KEEPING HATCHERY
A petition is being circulated by
Druce County fishermen, which will
ask the Department of Lands and
Forests to reopen the Southampton
fish hatchery for the propagation di!
lake trout.
Secondary only to politics, sport has
been the major interest of his life. In
his early years he played both la
crosse and hockey, In the 1930’s he
was an outstanding lawn bowler and
toured England, Ireland and Scotland
with the famous team headed by A.
M. Crawford. He maintains his active
interest in that sport today. Among
other things, he sponsored Hanna's
Towne Hallers which represented
Wingham in the Junior 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 contest
which has become widely known.
A more serious interest has been
his support and promotion of research
and government assistance in the
field of heart disease. He was given
a great deal of credit by Premier
Frost last year when the government
leader discussed this phase of govern
ment interest,

the robbery which took place at the
warehouse of Walden Brothers early
Sunday morning.
Thieves broke into the warehouse
some time during the night and took
a large quantity of tea and coffee
which was standing on the loading
platform ready for shipment. A check
on the missing, goods revealed that
no eggs were taken, as previously
supposed, but loss has been placed at
$700.
The shipment of tea and coffee,
contained in 47 cartons, represented
shipments to grocers in Wingham and
district for delivery on Monday of
this week. Police are speculating as
to whether a truck or delivery van
was used in the robbery.
Entry to the warehouse was made
through one of the back doors, ac
cording to Constable Edward Whitby,
who investigated the robbery on Sun
day. The break-in was discovered at
noon on Sunday when Norman Cam
eron, of the Miller Wholesale Com
pany, which occupies the same build
ing, noticed a lock broken on one
of the doors as he was driving past.
Evidently the thieves had made an at
tempt to force the door of the Miller
Company’s office at the front of the
building. They were unable to get
the door open because of a second
lock. A window in the office was also

INCONCEIVABILITY
IN COWS
In racing he has had a close con
nection with the sport since his young
days, and his love of it has carried
him to many parts of the world. He
has been present at practically every
major racing event on the continent,
and in addition has followed the
sport in England and in France. He
has been intimately associated with
racing in Ontario and has a wide ac
quaintanceship throughout the fra
ternity.
There are many reasons why
apparently good, healthy cows
can not be put in calf. In some
cases this condition is caused
by deficiencies of either Phos
phorous, Iodine or Vitamins A
and E, while in others, vaginitis
may be the cause.
If you are troubled with incon
ceivability in your cows we
would recommend a 30 day
treatment with Preventex Pow
der (Nixon) and Calcium Phos
phate (Nixon) administered
daily in the grain ration.
If, however, your cows have
vaginitis, a 10-day treatment
with Vaginex Liquid (Nixon)
is guaranteed to correct this
condition.
