Donald MaeDonald, leader. of

Ontario, recalled the founding
convention of the party in Nia-
gara Falls, and the: fact that
Carl Hemingway heated form
the interim statement of the
PartY. "The New. Democratic

ing a new paity to provide a
real alternative to the voter."
Mr. Hemingway has a wide
range of knowledge," Went on
Mr. Macborrald: "He brings
to tih panty 'a disciplined mind,
that is not willing to be slough-
ed off with 'old answers. He
feels that things ,cans be chang-
ed. Card has ra basicfaith that
people can, if they will, build
a political instrument that they
can control."
The 'speaker recalled attend-

ing in Huron at which the sit-
ting member spoke briefly,
saying that "You've got to real-
ize that it's difficult for us in
Ottawa to get those froln 'the

"Your member was aetually
saying that the members from
other walks of life were not
sympathetic to agricultural
people," said Mr: MacDonald.
"It appeared that he was asking
for sympathy front the voterg."
"If in the past it has been
difficult to get political part-
ies to face up .to your problems,"
warned Mr. MacDonald. "It will
be more diffieult in future
years. Now farmers represent
only 12 percent of the populat-
ion of Canada. This is drop-

The NDP leader gave his
listeners the definition/by Gra-
ttan O'Leary that the
ference between, tories and
grits, is a difference of mood
and of bias. "He said that
it is the leader who makes
policy, in actuality," said Mac-
Donald, "it is shaped by those
who provide the slush funds
for those parties."
"Mr. Pearson has said, that
a vote for NDP is a vote for
the Conservative party," re-
ported Mr. MacDonad. "Act -

a 'vote for 'the same policies as

Dredging Contract
Goderich Harbour
OTTAWA — A$424,043 con-
tract has been awarded by the
Department of Public Works to
the Ontario Marine and Dredg-
ing Limited, Toronto, for
dredging work in the harbour
at Godertich, it was announced
Friday by. L. Elston Cardiff,
MP for Huron, on behalf of the
Honourable David J. Walker,
Minister of Pliblic Works.
The firm submitted the low-
est bid of seven in response to
advertising for public tenders
which closed on April 11, 1962.
The highest bid was $515,327.
The work is scheduled for com-
pletion in six months.
The work consists of redredg-
ing the whole of the inner
harbour, ineluding the remov-
al of Ship Island, a small ob-
struction which has presented
a menace to navigation and
hampered the full use of the
poet. The removal of the is-
land will greatly increase the
space available in the inner
harbour for the movement of
vessels and for winter storage
fatilities for a large number
of boats. The dredging will be
to a depth of 23 feet. Line
drilling far 13,800 feet also
will be carried out along the.
,faces of the north ands east
harbour •:ructurtZ, privet
undercutting and to present a
gMboth face for future recon-
strUetion work.

preparedi in the District Engin-
eer's office of the Department
of Public Wanks', London. G.
N. Scroggie, District Engineer
(Harbours and Rivers Engin-
eering) will be responsible for
