That night more than 3,000 Progressive Conserva- tives met at Port Perry, north of Oshawa. They started registering at six in the evening. Nine hours later, after three o'clock in the morning, they "broke up. They had elected their candidate, Dr. Matthew B. local doctor, ex- perienced in municipal poli- . tics, and five feet five of fighting Scotsman. Dr. Dymond won his seat handily in the election a month later. And since then he has been burning up the course at Queen's Park. In just over two years, in July 1957, he was appointed to the cabinet as Minister of Reform Institutions, and since then he has been moved up the line with two other portfolios, Transport and Health. He now holds the latter. This is an all-round record 'that takes some beating in Ontario politi- cal history. Not too many men have had such a quick entry into the cabinet. Even more, rare are men who have held three im- portant portfolios in such a short time. What's the secret? Dr. Dymond is a cheerful man. He is also a short one. When he is talking to most men he is looking up at them. When he looks up it with head thrown well back and a spirit that is full .of bounce. Big or small, he is any man's equal. That is what he seems to say. He looks like a cocky fighter willing to take on anyone. And that, more than anything, is probably his secret of success. Matthew Dymond arrived in Canada in the mid-twenties. He was in his teens and had emigrated from Aberdeenshire. To pay his fare he had contracted to work on a farm for a year. He did this -- in Oxford County. Then he began to improve himself and his education. He went to work for! :a grocery chain and became a manager by 1930. Through home study and night classes he got his matriculation. He got his Grade 13 in Peterborough and moved into Queen's where he got his doctor's degree in 1941. He started practice at Port Perry, had 'a three-year hitch in the army, and has been one of the leaders in his home com- 'munity ever since. He now has one key characteristic, 'which probably is an outcome of this early life of hat} struggle. He will have nothing Dr. Dymond at his desk. to do with fear. He believes it is a disease and the handicap which holds back many people. And a look at his career, particu- larly since he has been in the Legislature, shows how this has guided it and driven it. He has shown he is not afraid to try new things. In each of his portfolios he has demonstrated this. : When Transport Minister, for instance, he started the new program of central driving examination centres -- thereby doing away with the patronage system of licence examinations. He was chairman of the committee on hospital insurance, and has been the minister responsible for its first year of operation. He also has shown he is not afraid of issues. Although bolts from the heavens des- cend each time he says so, he has not hesitated in stating he is against com- pulsory fluoridation. Last fall when he knocked out private schools for nursing assistants he knew he would be criticized. But he did it frankly and openlv. It is this frankness particularly, that the reporter at Queen's Park likes about Dr. Dymond. He does not try to hide. behind secretaries and deputy ministers in trouble -- as less courageous men do. He will be quite honest and talk openly. The newspaperman of experience knows that when you have a man who will do: this, you usually have a man who is going places. What places is he going, this fast- moving man who still talks with a burr so broad you smell heather? He is a man still young, who has proven his ability, is one of the best public speak- ers in the province, will fight his way through any and all obstacles, and has the great quality of not being afraid of being wrong or of admitting it. There can be high places indeed for such a man.
