Hemingway Outlines Reasons for New Party In his address accepting nomination as New Democrat- ic Party candidate in the June 18 election' J. Carl Herniegvvray last week in Goderich condem- ned) both: Liberal and Conserv- ative parties for :deing the eight things at the wrong time. Mr. Hemingway recalled his continuing interest' in end ob- servance of -the things govern- ment did. "At first I felt they were -stupid" said he. "and then I came to discover that they are really quite brilliant at doing all they can to keep farm products down in price. He also noted that he felt government co-operated with large meliorations' -in using un- employment to -control labour. "The same people who provide the slush funds for the two old parties," said Mr. Hemingway, "want unemployment." The speaker recalled that in the Hon Paul Martin:, MP for Essex East, 'had said the Lib- erals were ready for an elec- tion and had $5 millions to spend on it. Three weeks ago the Liberals were said to have $7 million and the Canterva- NDP Speaker THE HON. JOHN H.

"That can only mean that cash ;is paid for worde," Mr. Hemingway told his audience. "That sum the Conservatives have averages out to $20,000 per candidate. I wouldn't know what to do with that much. money in the month between now and June 18. I believe there'd be lots left unless I passed out $20 bine to friends. Mr. Hemingway toed of two things that had happened pr- ior to his nomination which made him realize a little of what it meansi to run for par- liament, "Two weeks ago," said Mr. Hemingway, "CKNX toad me I would no longer be acc.ept- able as speaker an the Feder- ation of Agriculture radio br- oadcast. Then the, Exeter Times - Advocate pointed out (again prematurely) that it would be difficult to get votes. After nomination I would ex- pect this kind of thing, but harder before." "As "NDP representative, I will de all I can to increase farm income by finding mark- ets. The so-called "dumb farm- ers" in Ontario can sell sur- pluses every year. The govern ment - operated Wheat Board was able to sell to China when they are short of food last year. Ittl easy to sell to starv- ing people." "I am convinced that with a little effort we could sell wh- eat to India." Mr. Hemingway warned that the indifference of people to power e of big corporations may bring about "destruction of all ce. us." "Within ten years," posliceed Mr. Hemingway, "the people of Canada will elect a new party, this or some other, or in 25 years we will face a Cuban revolution in Canada".

The meeting also agreed a delay on the milk plan was very neces- sary, so as to better inform the producers on all angles of . the plan. Huron County Farming Report (By D. IL Miles, agricultural representative for Huron County) Crop prdspects continue .to look good for all spring seeded grains. A warm rain would do wonders for sugar beets, peas, tunnies, corn, etc., that have been sown the last ten clays. A high acreage of corn will likely be sown this week. Live stack is out on pasture but they are getting ahead of growth of grass, the warm ramn would help here also. Land is easy to prepare prior to the sawing of crops.

Pro NHL Player Speaks At Kin Sports Dinner Clinton Kinsmen Club were host Tuesday night to their championship teams fram both the peewee hockey and baseball leagues:. Larry Jeffery,' Goderich, who broke into the National Hockey League last winter with De- troit Red Wings, was guest speaker. He told of his career leading up to the NHL where he played 18 games last season. Jeffery is one of two grad- uates of the ' Goderich Lions Young Canada Week of hockey now in the top professional league. Barn in Zurich, he play- ed minor hockey in Goderich (Ontario midget champions in three out of the four years he played), one year in junior "B" at Burlington, three year's jun- ior "A" at Hamilton, one year at Hershey, and last year at Edmonton until called up to Detroit Red Wings. He spoke highly of Gardie Howe with whom he played in Detroit. The NHL is just what it stands for, said Jeffery, "it'S the fastest, most ,rugged1 and best hockey in the world." There are 128 players there and they have to be good to stay up there, he said. Ken Clenick introduced the young pro speaker, and he was thanked by Brian Heyes.

Horton, had inflected the sec- ond break at the side <of its face. D. •Horton's defence was based on the right of a citi- zen to apprehend any person they believe to have commit- ted a criminal offence. The young man testified that his father, Clayton Horton had pointed out Mr. Irving as the man who "kicked me." Magistrate Hays took the view that Horton, had instead been seeking vengeance for the injury done 'his father. Miagistrate Hays said, "I have no doubt that Hortfon punished Irving with -a cruel beating either in retaliation, with no thought of apprehen- sion, or with the idea of ap- proximating this action with an official role of arresting Irving. I believe that since Horton was not 'aware of the presence of Mrs. Irving, even though she was screaming for help and' trying to get him to stop, this is consistent lin the main, with a atigh degree of rage. I think it a blind rage. Constable Bates testifies that Horton struck Irv- ing three or four times, pick- ing him up 'and knocking him down three or four times. Hor- ton didert seem to be aware that the constable was there until he was taken by the arm. "I don't want to be an al- e -nest," said magistrate Hays, "but it is actions such as this that leads to capital charges. Horton let his temper get the best of him." Magistrate Hays fixed the fine low. fbecause Howton had no record. The dharge against Melville Irving of essault occasioning bodily harm to Clayton Horton, Seaforth, after About four hours evidence, was dismissed. Cleytorn Horton (father of Don- ald Horton) claimed that he had been in the parking lot back of the Commercial Hotel with Robert Nigh, also of Sea - forth, when Mr, -and Mrs. Irv- ing walked by and asked for a smoke. When he and Nigh refuted, said Mr. Horton, then Mr. Irving el -roved him tis the ground' and kicked him in the eye. Horton said the wound re- quired seven stiches. Evidence of Nigh corroborated this. (However no clear evidence of anyone actually kicking anyone emerged at the two hearings.) Mr. and Mrs. Irving testified that as they walked through the lot, Mr. Horton had accosted them, asking for a light, and thenetarted shoving Mr: Irving. Irving fought back. He said that he had knocked both C. Horton and Nigh to the ground, and that the eye wound had been with a fist. Magistrate Hays in his sum- ming up commented that there was great discrepancy in evi- dence tram the different wit- nesses. He strongly urged peo- ple to seek protection by the law. "There it northing but anarchy, else. Actions such as this shock a community. It is a grave offence against the public peace." Irving's counsel was James Donnelly, QC, God'erich. Elmer Bell, QC, Exeter, acted for Doted Horton. RCAF CWL Names New Executive Me Catholic Women's League, RCAF Statical Clinton met Thursday, May 10 with Mrs. M. 3. Lesnick presiding.
