Original Toronto Star caption: The premier bites an ear. Eating corn on the cob is not the most dignified thing in the world, what with dripping butter and kernels between the teeth. But Premier John Robarts seems to be doing it with considerable aplomb at a picnic hels at Brooklin area park yesterday by provincial and riding associations of the premier's Conservative party.
