Original Toronto Star caption: Eighty-Year-Old Gertrude Skates travelled 10,000 miles to help her friend, Margaret Birch (left) get re-elected in Scarborough East. Mrs. Birch is secretary for social development in the Davis cabinet. It was the second time in two years Mrs. Skates flew from Christchurch, N.Z., to man the telephones for the Birch campaign. I'm a staunch Conservative and I love elections, said Mrs. Skates.
