Original Toronto Star caption: A ring-a-ding day for Dief. Former prime minister John Diefenbaker was given an engraved school bell yesterday as he officiated at a ceremony changing the name of Plains Road Public School, in East York, to the Diefenbaker Public School. Dief told Douglas Stoddard (right) he'd ring the bell in Parliament if there are any disorders.
