BY JACK gIDD,ELL,
Earlier this month, •some
650 people attended a
:tes.timonial dinner• .
eelebrating 60 years of ser-
vice to Ontario by the Nixon
Family, particularly former
Liberal Leader Bob , Nixon,
and his Father Harry Nixon,:
Stuart Smith joined in the
tributes to his predecessor,
• making it plain that he relies
on his advice and counsel,
Former NAP .Leader Donald
• MacDonalcrserved with both
Nixons in •the House, and
•spoke of the ,pleasures of
being an ordinary member
again after the trials of
leadership. 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.

Back in 1943, When Harry

son Bob was. only 14, busy
working on the family farm

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

waiting to see him .
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."

premise behind the

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. TO

• At the Meeting
