Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Donna meets the chief. Donna Bentley, 22, gets a handshake from former prime minister John Diefenbaker in Toronto today. The Chief was at the downtown Simpson's store autographing copies of his two-volume memoirs, One Canada. About 400 people waited up to 30 minutes in line to meet Diefenbaker. Apart from autographs and handshakes they got vintage Dief comments - mixture of serious politics and political humor.
