This was the life of the late Hon. James Gardiner, former minister of agriculture in the Mackenzie King government, summed up by his friend and biographer, Nathaniel Benson, Toronto,Mr. Benson was speak- ing on the occasion of the un- veiling of a plaque in honor of Mr. Gardiner at the Thames 'Road United Church, four miles east of Exeter on Highway 83. The event took place Sunday afternoon before a large crowd, many of whom were former friends of the late cabinet min- ister. Because •of inclement weather, the program was car- ried on in the church. Mr. Benson gave as his opin- ion the belief that the Liberal party made a great mistake when it did not choose Mr. Gardiner to succeed' the late Mackenzie King.. He described the work of the late Mr. Howe as instrumental in the choice of St. Laurent'. over Gardiner and called it an error which led to the .downfall of the Lib- eral party–in 1957. "Mr. Howe believed that there were people born to govern and others born to be governed and was not a true Liberal in the same sense as Mr. Gardiner," Mr. Benson said. Mr. Gardiner was born in Hibbert township, not far from the site "of the plaque erected in his honor. Greetings from the Township of Usborne were brought by Reeve George Frayne.
