Donald MaeDonald, leader. of the New Democratic Party in 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 PartYs" said' Mr. MacDonald, "Is a team of Canadians, made up of that section .of the trade union movement' that is polits active; individual farm-, ers; and a erceS-section. those who want a role in 'form- 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 a farm organization meet- 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 • city to listen to what we gay." "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- ping continually, and ME reach six percent.

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 - u , a vote far the Liberal is a 'vote for 'the same policies as the Conservatives: There: are no basic differences.

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.
