Bob Rae opens office in Dungannon BY MIKE WIT LIISCRAFT With an election call in the near future, NDP leader Bob Rae opened the first ever riding office in the Huron -Bruce District in Dungannon last week. Most of the crowd of about 50 people were voicing their concerns about the free trade issue as it affects agriculture. "As you know we've always been against free trade. (Premier David) Peterson has been two-faced on the issue all along," charged Rae. "He has to something about the free trade deal." He added that he thinks farmers live "very close to reality" and that a lot of their ideas should be used as a barometer when deciding what is right or wrong with the controversial deal. With the current surge of support for federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent, Rae is hoping his party can gain some ground in the province too. "This is the first election when we can say we're miming with the idea of forming a government," stressed Rae. "There Is nowhere we don't have the potential to take a riding." He noted that the upcoming election is federal not provincial but he hopes his MPPs can ride on the coat tails of their federal counterparts' popularity. "We did really well provincially last year as compared to previous years," he noted. Our level of support across Ontario is go- ing up dramatically. Our party (at the federal level) is going into this election 20 points higher in this province than in the last election." It is that growing support, according to Rae, which has supplied the organization with the funding to maintain a constituen- cy office in the Huron -Bruce riding. "We got enough contributions to keep an office open which will give us more of a presence, which is important," he explained.

The office, on Dungannon's main street, is in the upper level of the old Goderich Rural Telephone Company building which is over 100 years old. According to locals it was originally a barber shop. Extensive renovations were needed to the structure and a group headed by Al Sherwood volunteered to take care of much of the work. The present owners of the building Phil and Pauli Sommer were already doing renovations on the ground level to make way for the studio -workshop of their glass business. The Sommer's, glass designer -artists who donated the upper level to the NDP to use as office space, will operate a small boutique.
