Bob Welch, Con- • servattve Cabinet Minister, recalled that he had • managed Nixon's campaign for class president when they were both at McMaster: they lost! . Bob Nixon is planning to • write a,, book about his father, whose three month term as Premier in 1943 endedwhen the Liberals were defeated by the Conservatives, who. iiive since governed the Province, He took over 'a divided Liberal Party, following the resignation of controversial ,Liberal PreMier. Mitch burn.. career • in politics had begun in 1919 when, as a 28.year-old farmer, he was elected to the Legislature, At that age; he became the youngest Cabinet Minister in Canada. By 38' be was a Party Leader. At; 45, he was acting :Premier of Ontario. Twice he was offered the. Premiership of the Province, and refused. • Widely recognized as the backbone of the Liberal administration, often - described as a man ,of common sense, Harry Nixon was ** nobody's fool", He had serenity of outlook; tolerance 'for men who disagreed with him, but the strength to hold . his own settled course. Although he •worked well with other people, he knew Well how to delegate authority wihtout in any way detracting from his own, He was willing to hear all, sides of every question. • PREMIER • Back in 1943, When Harry • Nixon. became Premier, his son Bob was. only 14, busy working on the family farm after,. apparently, • ducting,a sit-down strike at school because all , the other fellow's were helping their dads on the land, and it was pretty near, holidays any- way." Bob well remembers his fathers. • long, , hours during the ' . Hepburn administration, especially when, as senior Cabinet Minister, he was designated acting.

During the Depression, the pressures were something we don't know anything about - babies dying, people starving, no jobs, years of downfall." Still, today, Harry Nixon remains his son's greatest hero. On the death of his father in 1961, Bob decided to run in the subsequent by-election. He was, of course, successful and has represented the people of Brant -Oxford -Norfolk in the Ontario Legislature ever since, Shortly after taking his seat in the House, he was elected President of the Ontario Liberal Party, a position he held until 1964. He was also the Party's • Education Critic. Bob failed to win a hotly contested • leadership convention in 1964. but was elected provincial leader' by the Caucus in November 1966, • and subsequently by a full leadership convention in • January 1967. He led the • Party through three general elections until. his Successor Stuart Smith became Leader . in February 1976. While he was Leader, Liberal re- • presentation in the ' House increased. to 36 seats, ' the highest number since the defeat of his Fathers Liberal Government in 1943. • On June 8; 1977, Toronto's "Globe and Mail" editorialized about Bob Nixon as follows: "In every • election, however, there are a few individuals who • deserve election regardless of party . . . Robert. Nixon is • one of these: The former Liberal Leader, running in Brant -Oxford -Norfolk, is one of the most knowledgeable - and human - politicians in this province. He has wisdom and experience that would be valuable in any Legislature." • A few monthsearlier, columnist Norman Webster had • written, "the former leader of the Ontario Liberal Party is settling rather nicely into the role of elder states- man around Queen's Park, • After nine hard -slogging; Often bitterly disappointing years as head of the 0 u ts, he is getting some time now to widen his horizons , , In the fileute,he has a woader- ful time, standing up re- gularly to lecture the government, drawing front, a store of facts, figures and stories unequalled by an politician in Ontario."

Municipalities within • the watershed of the Ausabie • Bayfield Conservation Authority aren't too concered abciut a revised mandate for conservation authorities across the province if the turnout at a meeting Thursday is any indication. Only 10 out of the 32 municipalities • Were represented at a workshop held at the. Authority's Exeter oftice. • Resources manager William Mungall attributed the small turnout to this being a busy season of the year and general satisfaction with the Authority's 'performance. • Mungall said the basic premise behind the .document was to confirm • that authorities do have a . wide mandate in the terms of the preservation of and enhancement of natural resources other than minerals. • The document stressed that the province would be placing a greater emphasis on loCal iniative. What emerged from the • workshop was a need for the local authority to decide the priorities for the future.

The Authority has • an image, prciblem of only building conservation areas, the workshop stated. Mungall agreed and said it should place , a greater emphasis on serving the needs of the rural areas with programs such as soil' and stream bank erosion control programs on • private • property.. • At the Meeting vice-chairman Bob Austin said a report from the local authority should carry considerable weight in Toronto considering it would be from the first conservation authority formed in the province. Pressures a economic de- * pression . . 1 believe that the endeavour, the struggling of theologians, : politicians, educators and scientists in the. past has culminated in presenting us asa with this style. of life and opportunity unequalled in history." On the subject of Canada's future, Bob believes that what we need is a commit- ment to Canad ian nation. building: Only a "visionary" response to separatism will succeed. "Em confident this i71.' country will stick together and come out of this bilingual and multi -cultural." His • father would have appreciated his comment, "This matter is far too important to be left to the politicians." ARNOLD J.
