C, Douglas in order of their accession: as leader, Both Mr. Blake and Mr. Drew moved up from the pre miership of Ontario. Mr, Blake, an. impressive orator and mas- ter of parliamentary tactics, was Ontario. premier briefly before succeeding Alexander Mackenzie as Liberal leader in 1880, Mr. Blake was replaced by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1887, Depressed about Canada's future, he withdrew from feder- al politics three years later and sat as an Irish 'nationalist in the » British Parliament for some years before his death. The Drew story was quite dif- ferent, but the result was thé same: He did not lead his partly. : to power. After five. © Yeats, as. mier of Canada's most "prov popu ince, Mr. Drew succeeded John Bracken as Conservative leader in 1948. In 1956, the former Guelph, Ont. mayor resigned, opening the way for John Dief- enbaker, who has not said ~ whether he will run again at the Sept. 5.9 leadership convene tion in Toronto. Mr. Drew's predecessor as national leader, John Bracken, got the post at the party's 1943 convention in Winnipeg, partly on 'the basis of an impressive Pet record. He had been Mani- premier for 21 consecutive pes as a Liberal-Progressive' when he went national as a Conservative. But he, too, failed to break the Liberal grip on) the reins of government. ' The latest provincial premier to try is Mr. Douglas. After 17 years as Saskatchewan CCF premier, he became the first national leader of the New Democratic Party in 1961, Two other provincial . pre- miers tried and failed to become national leaders. One was James Gardiner, twice Saskatchewan Liberal premier in pre-Second World War days. The other was W. S, Fielding, a Nova Scotia premier in the Sir John Thompson era. There's been heavy traffic from the federal scene to prov- incial premierships. The most recent is Premier Ross Thatch- er of Saskatchewan. All told, 11 politicians trod this. path.

(CP)-- Eddie Sargent, Liberal mem- ber of the Ontario legislature for Grey North, says Premier John Robarts has performed a second major favor for Alex Graydon, proprietor of a nearby ski lodge.

He said he had never discussed it with Mr. Robarts. The county road runs east of Flesherton, eight miles north of Kimberley and veers northeast to Heathcote.
