Minifie reports on the "folksy" Quebec campaign of Progressive Conservative leader John G. Diefenbaker. Over footage of Diefenbaker's visit to the riding of Pontiac-Témiscamingue, Minifie says the tour has been loosely organized and low-keyed by American standards, but says that the visits to the little communities may be paying off. He notes a wrong turn delayed the leader's visit to Bristol but that 250 people, 100 more than expected turned up to see him and meet local candidate Paul Martineau at Pine Lodge. Minifie also comments on the French-English breakdown of the riding, and on the popularity of incumbent Liberal John Hugh "Huey" Proudfoot. Footage shows Minifie, standing on Calumet Island, across the Ottawa River from Bryson, Diefenbaker arriving by car at Bristol, near Pine Lodge, wandering around the town, and talking to people outside the local tavern; a little boy with flag; and Diefenbaker, Olive Diefenbaker, and Martineau at the Pine Lodge rally. <117s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:CB6051Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
