A feeling that the present Tory government has "grown indif- ferent to the wishes of people without influence" combined with his belief that the NDP is more sympathetic to the problems of all small businessmen, including farmers, than the other two parties made him decide to r ,un for the NDP, Mr. Hill told the Expositor Wednesday morning. He thinks the NDP is the coming party provincially in Ontario and "farmers should participate in the NDP.

The provincial Conservatives are inefficient, Mr. Hill charged and only make changes after tremendous pressure. "Unless there's tremendous power in numbers or capital they just don't pay any attention to us," Mr. Hill said. He thinks an NDP government would be more efficient and be able to make changes more quickly, for example in property tax reform, which he says the Tories have had "hanging fire since 1950 and in a farm income stabilization program, The NDP would bring in farm income stabilization legislation that would give a bargaining role to farm organizations, a move thats "crucial. to make it work," Mr, Hill said. The Ontario Tories "can't conceive of the possibility of any other party forming the government" Mr. Hill says, although he says any party that has been in power for 33 years would probably feel that way. He's not running in his home riding, Huron Middlesex, because "my objective would be to defeat Jack Riddell, and that's not my objective." He agreed that Mr. Riddell is a good farm spokesman and besides "a win in Huron wouldn't do anything to defeat the Tories." Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis who was with Mr: Hill Tuesday in London when he announced his NDP candidacy, is quoted: as predicting an election in late May or June, but Mr. Hill isn't so sure. He says he's heard predictioAs of an election this spring, this fall or a year from now but "I don't have a feel of it With Spring well on the way the Farmstead and Home Improvement committee in conjunction with the 1978 Plowing Match have chosen five areas of competition which they hope will give everyone in Huron County a chance to participate. The officers and directors listed in an earlier story are asked to be at all myself." "I suppose a certain length of time away would be an advantage' to me for organizing, meeting: people and selling my story," Mr, Hill said. sure to attend the next general meeting in the Agricultural Board Rooms in Clinton on Wednesday, April 6 at 8:30 p.m. At this tine' they will give the publicity prepared for their area, as well as, registration forms.
