The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1965----PAGE 4 nm Public Housing Project Raises Rental Problem With the object of meeting a public need which has been pin- pointed in detail as the result of a survey by the city's welfare depart- ment, the city council has approved a resolution asking the Ontario Housing Corporation to provide an additional 65 housing units in the city. Of these, 35 will be family units, while the other 30 units will be for occupation by senior citizens. In response to the survey made, 148 families and 38 senior citizens made application for such housing accommodation. These housing units will be of some. assistance in meeting the needs of the city for home accom- modation, but, judging from the rental levels which have been quot- ed, they will hardly meet the needs of low income families. When Oshawa's first public housing scheme was launched, the idea was to provide low rental housing. What has been reported about the new scheme now proposed indicates that there are varied opinions as to what constitutes a low rental. For instance, a family with an in- come of $411 a month will pay a monthly rent of $124 for a fully- serviced housing unit. At the same income level, the rent will be $119 a month with heat and hot water supplied, or $104 a month where no services are supplied. It is usually considered that a fair average rental amounts to 25 per cent of the monthly income. The figures quoted show that the $124 a month rental works out at 30.5 per cent of a monthly income of $411. The other rents quoted will be slightly less in percentage. What we are concerned about is that these rental levels cannot be considered low rental by any stand- ard. It is stated that rents will be geared to the income of tenants, Does this mean that there will be a lower rent schedule for tenants whose incomes fal] well below the $411 a month figure? We would be glad to have a more detailed ex- planation as to the basis on which rents will be tied to income. This is not criticism; merely a request for information. What we expect is that people' with incomes at or above the level quoted might find it cheaper to buy a home of their own than rent one of these so- called low rental housing units. Welfare State Planned A large-scale extension of the welfare state in Canada is envis- aged in the plans outlined in, the speech from the throne at the open- ing of parliament's 'new session for an all-out war on poverty. This involves what is described in the speech as "a program for the full utilization of our human resources and the elimination of poverty among our people." This is indeed an ambitious pro- gram. It is one in which few of us will see its objectives fully realized in our lifetime. In other words, it is a long-term project, to be approach- ed by, gradual steps such as are within the capacity of the country.

It says: "All the great potentialities of our econ- omy are not being realized. The talents of some of our people are being wasted because of poverty, illness, inadequate training and ed- ucation, inequality in opportunities for work." This is the problem, as stated in the speech from throne, that the government proposes to attack. It is Canada's version. of President Johnson's "Great Society", but couched in much more modest lang- uage. If Prime Minister Pearson wish- ed to produce something to capture the imagination of the people of Canada, he has succeeded. But our people must exercise patience in their expectations of the millenium which is promised. A good pattern of action has been set.

Dear Sir: The Sunset Heights parents are most appreciative of the co-eneration which they have received from the Board of Education and the Public Utilities Commission in solving their recent transportation prob- lem. While we are fully aware that the circumstances prevail- ing were not, by far, the easiest to reconcile, we are most happy to be able to say that agree- ment was reached with the minimum of delay possible in such a situation We also wish to thank pub- licly Mayor Lyman Gifford, the city council, Mr. Keith Ross and all these who offered help, for their most welcome assist- ance, for which we are truly grateful.

Mr. Diefenbaker referred the question to justice department officials. It was their opinion that no magistrate or court had the right to order any one to leave a community under the threat of a fine or imprisonment if he remained Attorney-General Wishart of On- tario, should be interested in this' opinion as magistrates in this province continue the prac- tice. He can consult his own law officers, or those of the jus- tice department at Ottawa, to determine whether the opin- jon given by a federal Conser- vative gevernment is still valid under a federal Liberal govern- ment. If it is still held that one of the rights under Canadian citizenship is to live in the com- munity of one's choice (govern- ment settlements and company towns excepted) the message should be firmly implanted with all Ontario magistrates. --(The Sudbury Star) all BY NOW You've SEEN THAT CLOTHING STYLISTS ARE PLANNING SOME CHANGES IN MEN'S SUITS 1? pappep SHOULDERS. ae ~~ W ct SRS ete "NIPPED-IN WAIST # LOOK--I'M A MODEL The Trulls Of Darlington Were Influential Family ARTICLE NO. 5 (This is the fifth and last of a series of articles on the early history of the Trull family, among the earliest settlers of Darlington township. It is based on information compiled in "The Family Tree of John W. Trull', compiled by Miss Edra Mc- Knight, a descendant of John W. Trull.) Once established in their home in. Darlington township, the Trull family achieved some importance in the development of the district. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Trull, the original heads of the family in Canada, had nine children,' Eunice, Susan, Elizabeth and Sarah, who- were born in the United States before the family came to Canada, and John Casey, Jesse, Phoebe, William and Parmelia, born in Darlington. As these children grew up and inter-married with other fam- ilies in the district, the Trull in- fluence spread widely over Dar- lington County, and embraced such families as the McKnights, the Stevensons, the Gerrows, the Nortons, the Pughs, the Sweetmans, the Fralicks, the Van Camps, and others, whose names appear on an old map of Darlington township nearly 100 years old PROMINENT SON John Casey Trull, the first son of John W. Trull and Lydia Casey, was born on September 2, 1795, the first white child born in Darlington Township. He died in 1880. He was married twice and raised a large family. His first marriage was to Lydia Van Camp. They had eight children. His second marriage was to Maria Theresa Mosely (Mun- son). They had three children. John Casey Trull became probably the most prominent of the early Trulls. He served in the war of 1812 at the age of 17, alongside his father. In 1830 he was commissioned as a lieuten- ant in the first regiment of the Durham "militia, by Sir John Colborne, then Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Upper Canada During the Mackenzie Rebel- lion of 1837, John Casey Trull received the rank of captain under Colonel Williams, and ~ | REMEMBER WHEN By M.

McINTYRE H°OD On this April day of 1965 my mind goes hack for 25 years to the same dates im 1940, when the fate of the British Common- wealth and Empire, and indeed, of the whole free world, were hanging in the balance, All win- ter, there had been no action in the war which started in Sep- tember, 1939. The troops on both sides were holding their prepar- ed lines. The Germans were be- hind the Seigfried Line, the French, cooped up in the Maginot Line, while the British, handicapped by the neutrality of Belgium, were holding a line of hastily thrown up fortifications along the Belgian border The winter was a period of waiting, known as "the phoney war'. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain saw in it time for Britain to train troops and build up a stronger air force, and this caused him to use the historic phrase 'Hitler has missed the completely off balance and creating the first of the many crises which were to he en- countered in that year of 1940.

For three months, the troops had been training hard, and sud- denly, on an April evening, things began to stir at brigade headquarters In the early evening, while it was still daylight, two of the regiments of the brigade, the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and the Loyal Canadian Regiment, were must- ered on their parade squares. in full marching and battle order, ready to move off for what was an unannounced destination Over the grapevine, however, the news trickled through that these two regiments were would tion that their period of waiting was over and that some action immediately ahead STOPPED IN SCOTLAND As dusk was falling, the two regiments nearest railway. station at Farn- borough, Aberdeen Scotland and the battlefront there We saw them move off with mixed feelings brigade's third Seaforths of Canada grieved left behind.

At a later date in the rebellion, he was stationed at Oshawa in charge of 114 men. During this period, one night at a fashion- able military ball, he had to dis- perse at dawn, a duel between two officers, who were jealous of the same lady On February 15, 1856, he was appointed Lieut.-Colonel in the 3rd Battalion of the Durham Militia by Sir Edmund Walker. PIONEER HOMESTEAD The pioneer John W. Trull homestead was located nearly half-way between Oshawa and Bowmanville, and a short dis- tance north of Lake. Ontario. At the present time a grandson of Casey Trull, named Gordon Trull, falls heir to a portion of this property. Wallace Mc- Knight, a grandson of Casey Trull, purchased and resides on the central portion of the origin- al farm. To the west of this were the farms of Henry Trull and Jessie Trull on the base line. The family cemetery is situated on the base line, at the southwest corner of the farm. It is told by older members of the Trull family now living that William Trull, son of the pioneer John W. Trull, was granted the land across from his brother, John Casey Trull, from the crown EVERYBODY HELPED Fred Trull of Orono, the old- est grandson of William Trull still living, tells how his grand- father used to tap 500 maple trees each spring, and how, when: the hay was cut by scythe, every member of the family who was old enough to handle a rake would go out and rake the hay together, so that the men could put it in haycocks. He also relates that his grand- father had a schooner built on the marsh at Bowmanville to transport produce to Kingston, York and Rochester, N.Y. In their declining years, William and his wife Elizabeth went to Orono, where they lived and died at, the home of their son Warren THE TRULL CEMETERY On a gentle slope on the original Trull homestead, the little Trull cemetery of some six acres is located. Here many of the first settlers of Darlington sleep their last sleep. Jesse Trull, grandson of John W. Trull, created it on his farm, and gathered to it a few Trull headstones earlier located on the Captain John Casey Trull homestead. It was further im- proved some years later by members of the family. Its location is unique. At the time it was established, there were no roads. Today, on the northern boundary is the ele- vated CPR track, while at the immediate south: is the Broken Front road and not far away is the Macdonald - Cartier Free- way and paralleling it the CNR, Near the centre of the plot is a marble headstone bearing the inscription: "John W. Trull, died' February 19, 1830, aged 84 years'. Nearby is a small stone inscribed "Lydia Casey, 1836', Close at hand is 'the resting- place of "John Casey Trull, cap- tain in Her Majesty's service, born September 2, 1795; died May 13, 1880". In all there are over 20 stones in the Trull cemetery enclosure. Besides the name of Trull, Samuel Hall's name is seen on a very old stone, and on an- other George Shurtliff and his wife, Mary J. Trull. Most re- cent stones are Private Albert Trull, son of Cameron Trull, who died in 1927 from the ef- fects of gas in world war one, also Louis Trull and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Bowman. resting places of the first of the Trulls of Darlington.

BRITISH VIEWPOINT Sidelights Of Leaders Of Political Parties By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--Harold Wil- son may not really see himself as Britain's answer to the late John F. Kennedy, but some peo- ple here seem determined to drape the mantle around him. Before last fall's general elec- tion, Wilson, a keen admirer of the late president, spent his summer vacation studying Theo- dore White's celebrated analysis of Kennedy's 1960 electoral vic- tory, The Making of the Presi- dent. Since then hardly a Wilson @peech has been without its Kennedy quotes, and so striking was the eventual similarity be- tween the two razor-edge elec- tions that Wilson's secretary, Marcia Williams, said: "We hardly knew whether we were at Hyannisport or Los Angeles." Now the process is taken a step further with two political reporters, Anthony Howard and Richard West, compiling what one critic describes as an "'off- White" account of Wilson's own rise to power. Inevitably, the book is called bmg Making of the Prime Minis- er. FOCUS ON LEADERS Although largely about the British parliamentary election, in which the opposing leaders are only two of 630 contestants for power, the book is focused on Wilson and former prime minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home in what one reviewer calls "quasi - presidential terms not really applicable to Britain." The parallel with White's book is pursued in the method of con- veying an insider's-eye-view of events, trailing the two leaders from committee-room to TV stu- dio to hotel bedroom, describing almost every pipe - drawn and GALLUP POLL every cup of coffee consumed along the way. "What the prime minister had for breakfast is hardly history," comments Robert Carvel, politi- cal correspondent of The Eve- ning Standard, who calls the book "the longest gossip-column ever assembled," There are, however, some in- triguing sidelights of the camr paign and on the leadership struggle that nearly splintered the Conservative party in Octo- ber, 1963, CLOSED RANKS There is the sight of the blue- blooded Tory families closing ranks at the Blackpool conven- tion to stop the middle-class in- tellectual R.

There are illuminating vig- nettes of the two leaders on the stump.
