Official End To Era Of Leslie M. Frost TORONTO (CP) -- Ontario's Frost era ended officially Wed- nesday. The man who guided the province's development through 12 of its most prosperous and) abundant years was scheduled to preside over his last cabinet meeting, hand over the pre- mier's office to John P. Ro- barts, and became simply Les- lie M. Frost, private member of the legislature for Victoria. If he is due for other posts in public life, he hasn't let any- one in on it. Speculation has had him be- coming a senator, ambassador to the United States, chief or- ganizer of Canada's 1967 cen- tennial celebrations, a_repre- sentative to the United Nations and high commissioner in the United Kingdom But the 66 - year - old Lind- say lawyer, never known to make hasty pronouncements, remained true to form by refus- ing to comment on his plans Mr. Frost, who quit as On tario Progressive Conservative leader this summer to let new) blood take over, is giving up a| career that earned him the re-| putation as Canada's most suc: | cessful Tory. i} i WINS DESPITE SCANDALS He has never suffered an) electoral defeat since entering} the legislature in 1937. He led) his party to thumping majori- ties in 1955 and 1958 despite) scandals involving highway con-| tracts and natural gas pipeline) stock deals by members of his| cabinet. | Never given to flamboyance,| he had an appeal to voters that| was difficult to assess but was} probably related to an over-| whelming impression of per-| sonal integrity and a seemingly] instinctive sense of propriety. Because he knew it would not look right, he refused to cross/ picket lines at the strike-bound Royal York Hotel in Toronto al- though he has had a suite there} for a number of years. At the| same time, he declined to take) sides in the issue. | In 1951, in his first election/ as party leader, the Conserva- tives took 79 of 90 seats; in 1955 'they won 84 and in 1959] they won 71 out of 98 seats. | One political school feels his) attraction was a magnetic| father image -- a folksy yet} dignified platform manner, a/ friendly way of calling every-| one "my friends" and seeming) to encompass them with wide sweeps of his arms. One of his} stock phrases was '"'this great) province of ours... ." CHOOSES RIGHT TIMES | » Others said his success came from an ability to choose the) right moment for the accommo-} dation of new ideas. For a long) time he opposed night harness| racing on the grounds -- that) United States gamblers would) flock to Ontario racetracks,| then abrupty changed his mind) to permit night ha s racing.) Under pressure to bring some) order into chaotic liquor adver-| tising methods, he established) a code of ethics which was ac-| cepted by both church groups| and brewers and distillers. Dapper, white - haired and) bespectacled, the six - foot - tall! premier suggests a kindly pro fessional man, but newcomers are surprised at his vigor and) forcefulness in the legislative) arena. | He works at a pace that would keep most young men) breathless and as premier often) kept two or three engagements simultaneously by moving from one office to another to discuss) the business at hand. \ BEGINS INNOVATIONS | During the 'Frost era," On-| tario established a hospital in- surance plan, increased educa- tion and municipal grants, cre- ated a department of transport which brought in a demerit points system for drivers, en- acted a human rights code) to stop discrimination in em- ployment and housing, began major road programs that built Highways 406 and 401, pressed for development of the St. Lawrence Seaway power) project, brought in fluoridation | of public water supplies on a local option basis, and drafted a study bill for establishment of a portable pension scheme} across Canada NEWS IN BRIEF TOURIST INCREASE KENORA, Ont.
