Howard Ferguson, Premier of Ontario, will be Canada s High Com- missioner in London, and just as, soon as he can settle his affairs here will proceed to the old land with Mrs. Ferguson.

Mr. Ferguson was born into poli- tics. His father, Dr. Charles Fer- guson, was long Grenvi`11e s repre sentative in the HOUSE of Commons and a close friend of Sir John A. Macdonald.

He had his eye on his fa,ther':-, former seat in those days. It was one of those grudge ghts, common to politics everywhere, that took him to the legislature. A fellow lieuten- ant of the party in Grenville, who was after the riding` nomination, ac- cused young Ferguson of knifing him. The Kemptville re-eve was mad. He resolved to get that legislative nomination himself. What s more, he got it.

Thus, Howard Ferguson entered the legislature bin 1984 and took his place in the ack enche. `behind Sir James Whitney, then forming 0ntario s first Conservative Government lsince Confederation. Bi lingua Issue Mr. Ferguson s career as a. mem- ber was undistinguished until 1910. '7l`here was then a cloud the size of la man s hand on the political hori- Izon. It was the bilingual schools issue.

He`! was largely instrumental in forcing Sir James Whitney to name the com- mi rion that later evolved the long- disputed Regulation 1'7. He was not regarded as a good party man in `those days. .

The second was his solution of thei bilingual schools issue. Those were two questions that no other political leader of recent years would havel faced in the way Mr. Ferguson} faced them. It is probably because; he does things and says things that! no one else in his position would do or say, that he is known as l`Ferg'y from the Lake of the` iWoods to the St. Lawrence.
