Original Toronto Star caption: I'm doing most good here-Hon. Harry Nixon. Right now I believe I am doing more good to this country and its war effort by sitting on the seat of this tractor than in an office chair, declared Hon. Harry Nixon, as he paused for an interview after plowing three acres on his farm at St. George. Mr. Nixon, who recently resigned from the Ontario cabinet. expressed no confidence in Premier Conant, said if he personally were offered the premiership by a convention he would consider it the highest honor.
