Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow Byelection Candidate As Unelected

Dear Gordon:

At his first crack at bat as head of the government, Prime Minister Arthur Meighen knew II impart II students that being Prime Minister was very powerful, but those who held the job shouldn't act like a dictator. If they did that they would wind up abusing power & the public trust.

"The powers of the Prime Minister are very great. The functions of & duties of a Prime Minister in Parliament are...supreme in their importance."

Served Briefly As A High School Teacher & Married A Schoolteacher,

Rory
