JOHN W. HANNA IS
COLORFUL FIGURE
IN LEGISLATURE
(Contributed)
John W. Hanna has added much
to the gaiety of 'first
in the Legis-
lature since he first entered the
House in 1943,
There has been more color' to
his career than probably any
other in the House, Dignified
and handsome, he dresses most
sedately, and early in his ,days
there was labelled with the tag
"Senator."
He has been a hard-working
member on behalf of his riding of
Huron -Bruce, but his attitude to-
ward the proceedings of the
House has been more casual. He
has been a steady attendant, but
he never has been so impressed
with proceedings as to be over-
awed. His wit and repartee have
brightened up many an other-
wise dull sitting. His extra-
mural activities have been . along
the same line.
A few years ago he made con-
siderable news when he started
the "Lizard Club". A satire on
the seriousness of political life,
its members wore silver lizard
pins on their lapels, better than
two inches long and of the type
usually found on ladies' hand-
bags. Their program was very
simple they were for "The
Little People."
Then it will be remembered,
he also made the press across
Canada, when, on one quiet even-
ing in Toronto, he announced he
was contesting the Federal Con-
servative leadership. He was
never seriously in the field, of
course, but, as the first declared
candidate, he got plenty of
publicity.
Behind this front of apparent
frivolity, however, those close so
Jack have -known that underneath
he has a strong seriousness. His
latest move bears this out. In a
statement he has come out with
the proposal that heart clinics
should he established throughout
the Province. The victim of 'a
mild attack himself last summer,
he has a thorough knowledge of
heart _disease and its effects to-
day. He points out that in his
home town of W inghatn, six of
the town's leading business men
in one business block alone, are
all suffering from heart condi'-
tions.
It is the leading killer in the
Province, and in 1949 was rgspon-
sible for 14,788 deaths, while
cancer in thesame year was
responsible for 6,004 deaths. Ex-
perience in the United 'Staters,
with clinics, has shown that much
of this could be corrected, the
member contends, end he believes
there should be clinics now in
every large centre, and every
hospital.

fables, was a slave.

"I just had to call you and tell you the
good news."
It's a big event for us too — and it is
taking place in homes and offices, in cities
and villages every day—bringing more
and better telephone service to more and
more people.
In the past five years we've connected over
one and a half million telephones to meet
new requests for service. We've added
well over two million miles of wire to
carry the ever growing volume of local
and Long Distance calls.
In fact we've packed as much growth into
the past five years as we did in the first
fifty years of our history.
We're going right on with the job. If you
haven't service, we want you to know
we're working at it. Your place on the list
is being protected and your telephone will
be installed just as soon as possible.
