Since two of the seats were held previously by Opposi- tion members of the legislature, clear reading on Premier Rob- art's political drawing power. FROST RETIRES The change in premiers was the highlight of the political year in Ontario. Leslie Miscampbell Frost, 66, an adroit politician who liked to describe himself as a simple country lawyer, had entered the legislature in 1937 and the provincial cabinet in 1943. As premier from 1949 onward, he had projected such an image of business-like administration that the voters gave the Con- servatives overwhelming ma- jorities in three general elec- tions. He announced in the fall that he--would--resign.--_In-the--ensu- ing weeks, seven members of the legislature sought the party leadership in a no-holds-barred jweek for 10 weeks and usually The program was developedjhave 10 to 20 participants.
