MANY SEATS 'EITHER WAY' Ontario The Key To Tories, Grits By JOHN LeBLANC TPORONTO ish hopes of the two biggest po- litical parties come to a sharp focus in Ontario, As usual, the province figures to be a pivotal one. Not only do its 85 Commons seats represent the political brass ring to the two parties hoping to form a government, but many are within reach of both Liberals and. Conserva- tives. Perhaps 25 of these could topple either way, though in- siders look for no drastic swing in either direction. The New Democratic Party is looking to some gains, too, but its expectations are modest, When the curtain went up on the Nov, 8 general election campaign, the Liberals held 51 Ontario seats against 25 for the Progressive Conservatives and seven for the NDP. There were two vacancies, one on the Lib-| eral side and the other Con-| servative. The official Liberal calcula-| tion is that they need 60--a net! gain of eight--to assure the goal of majority government. But the party hasn't done this since 1925, and other predictions run around 55. ATTEMPT TURNOVERS Progressive Conserva- tives are concentrating particu- larly on turning over a dozen |nominated cision for a provincial win last fall. East of Toronto along the Lake Ontario front, a battle of national interest--and an appar- ently close one---has shaped up in Northumberland between in- cumbent Liberal Pauline Jewett and George Hees, returned to the Conservative fold after his) 77 1963 walkout from John Diefen- baker's cabinet, IN TOP DRAWER The Conservatives have Nor- thumberland in the top drawer of their hope chest along with Carleton in the Ottawa area, where former immigration min- ister Richard Bell is attempting a comeback, and Essex South, in the southwest corner, where Richard Thrasher has quit as national director of the party te try for his old seat, The Liberals agree real fights are on in these places but have! ; drawn a bead on the normally Conservative stronghold of Lon- don, where majorities have been dwindling in recent elec- tions, and some adjacent Con- servative-held territory. The Liberals and Conserva- tives have fielded full slates of candidates and the NDP has everywhere but in Lambton-Kent. There are 28 other candidates.

Apart from some good fight- ing ground in the big Toronto- Yorks block, much disputed ter ritory apparently lies in the Ottawa Valley, along the Lake Ontario shore and--most pro- nounced -- in the southwest.

It also just happened that sheet music for Hello, Dolly! was at hand. Mr, Sharp was glad to oblige. It was a lot of fun and the minister, seeking re-election in Toronto Eglinton, left feel- ing that he had done himself, and the Liberal party, a lot of good.
