C. "Tommy" Result: a well represented, in- formed electroate. This is the recipe NDP's here hope will push them into poli- tical prominence and end Con- servative Michael Starr's 13- year rule. "Let's make Ontario Riding the heart that throbs in the cen- tre of this great Canada of ours," urges Mr. Hodges. As might be expected of an NDP candidate who owns and operates a farm, Mr. Hodges backs energetically the party's farm program. The program calls for a gov- ernment department of science and technology, guaranteed prices for farm products, pro- ducer marketing and processing facilities, farm credit based on the needs and abilities of farm- ers. 3 PERCENT LOANS NEW DEMOCRATS advocate three percent housing loans and Dem: J. &.

Locally, Mr. Hodges wants a commuter service east from |Metro Toronto to Bowmanville. \He has urged lakefront develop- |ment in Oshawa for recreation purposes and harbor develop- ment in both Oshawa and Whit- by for increased industrial pro- grams. On the auto pact, Mr. Hodges is. critical of the secrecy sur- {rounding its implementation. \He advocates a tripartite coun- lcil, made up of government, in- idustry and labor officials, to make the pact "'viable". "Importation of autos into Canada from anywhere during an industry-wide strike should |be prohibited and this should be | written into the pact agree- }ment," says Mr, Hodges. | On Medicar, he has this to say: "For years the NDP has had a firm policy on medicare for lall Canadians. It is ahemful that countries ravaged by sev- eral wars and far less able to afford have had medicare for LH RUNDLE An Informed Electorate | ness should no longer be toler- ated. "What this country really needs is leadership and plan- ning. We are one of the wealth- iest countries in the world with resources and manpower still untapped. We could be the greatest country in the world -- but not with our present lead- ership. What this country needs is a planned economy. The old parties are prone to sit back and wait until disaster strikes-- like unemployment -- before do- ing something about the situa- tion that is inevitable. With more and more automation in the offing, more people will be unemployed unless a future is planned to put these people to work. We cannot stop automa- tion, and we don't want to. But every day more people are with- out a job because a machine can do the job more quickly and efficiently. We are in need of more schools, more hospitals, more transportation routes. But we also will need manpower to run and furnish these ser- vices. We'll need doctors, nurs- es, teachers, craftsmen and any number of skilled trades peo- ple. years. *This country can afford,,We want and need trained and 'and---Wll--afford.--One-of----the first things an NDP _ govern- ment y/ould do if elected would be to. implement a _ complete medicare program for all Ca- diarys, regardless of ability to pay."

Let's make sure our future leaders are more informed. WANTS TO BE THERE Mr. Hodges wants to be in the House of Commons when bargaining legislation for civil servants is being framed. "We all know that when we get sick we call on a doctor. When we have legai problems we contact lawyer. But when the civil servants of this coun- try .requested réeognition of their ills, the government didn't think experts were necessary. The committee set up to make! leollective bargaining legislation covering civil servants was made up entirely of manage- ment personnel.
