Because he never pushes himself forwazd and has always been pre- pared to serve in the background. there are still people outside his own party who are unaware of his unusual capabilities. One mall speaking of lllm said: “In delicate situations Graydon has managed to maintain his balance and few. if any, important decisions are made by his party without his ad- vice." Gordon Graydoii was first elected to parliament in 1935 but he has been interested in politics all his life. His unusual gifts as ari or- ganizer came to light when he was elected national chairman of the Conservative Party for Canada in 1941 and t'wo years later president of the reorganized Pzogresslve Conservative Association. At that time he was also acting House leader and in that capacity won wide recognition for his political acumen. He was first elected ' to parlia- ment in 1935 and although he has spent the major part of his life in Ontario. practising law in Toronto and Brampton. his political ex- perience has given him a wide knowledge of Canada and has also tuzned him into an international- ist. llis official record starts early when he was leader of tlle Con- servative Party _ln Victoria College.

Later he ‘was a member of United Nat- ions‘ delegations and attended the World Health Conference. in spite of his strenuous com- mlttce work, Graydon never for- gets tlie interests of his constitu- cncy and has been returned at each election with greatly in- creased majorities.
