Survey Opened F ere On Public Housing ~ Definite Need Seen For Project A survey of the need for addi- tional "public housing" in. Osh- awa is being conducted this week by the Ontario Housing Corporation. Coleridge Orr, Corporation in- vestigator, told The Times today a second survey of the demand *-~ housing, will also be conduct- There is not a doubt in the world that a housing survey is needed and is worthwhile," said Mayor Lyman Gifford. Ald. Gordon Attersley, chair- man of council's housing com- mittee said the survey is "def- initely needed . . . Oshawa is a growing municipality and I think there are many people who require public housing." Albert Walker, Ontario riding member of the provincial par- liament, said the Housing Cor- poration was. set up earlier this year to speed up and eliminate red tape in providing housing in Ontario municipalities. DISCUSS NEED. Mr. Orr said he is discussing the need for housing with spokesmen from the city assess- ment, welfare and planning de- partments, builders, real estate firms, industry and the clergy. He said he could not estimate when the surveys will be com- pleted and a report presented to council, Ald. Attersley said the city has 42 low-rental housing units on Christine Crescent and that construction of another 18 units on Lomond street "could start any day". 2 He said the housing branch of the department of economics and development will decide to start work on the Lomond street housing, which he said will open the street to Dean avenue. Ald. Attersley said the Corpor- ation's survey, requested by Evangelistic Canipaign Held Good attendances have been noted in the Evangelistic cam- paign in progress at Calvary Baptist Church. The special evangelists for the week are Rev. Don Holliday noted evan- gelist who has conducted Cru- sades across Canada and in the U.S.; and Rev.

Under the agreement with the nt of eco- nomics and deve! ent, said the alderman, the must contribute seven and one half per cent of the capital cost of the project. However, he said, under an agreement with the Housing Corporation, the city would only be required to bear seven and one half per cent of any oper- ating losses incurred.

CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND DEPRESSION BABY The Christmas Cheer Fund in Oshawa is getting geared up for its 35th year of service to the needy. The fund will take care of needy families, individuals and old age pensioners, this coming Christmas, said a spokesman. It is financed by the Greater Oshawa Community Chest and is a co-operative effort in which city churches, the city welfare department, the Oshawa Red Cross and Simcoe Hall Settle- ment House all participate. The Christmas Cheer fund be- jgan in '"'the dark days of the 'depression in 1930", said the spokesman. Mrs. A. S. McLeese, widow of Alex S. McLeese, said that her late husband was one of the founders. "He was always think- is E. J. }poor. People were really hungry 'and hard up in those days,"' she |said. | She reminisced about the old 'days, '"'We used to gather at the old Rotary Hall and. clean all the vegetables and prepare the food for the Christmas dinners. Sometimes we were 'out until late at night distributing the parcels." AID THE NEEDY "We staged concerts where all participants would give their talents freely. The donations would go to the Christmas Cheer Fund. Afterwards we would have enough to buy truckloads of food for the poor." The present executive commit- tee .will appoint a purchasing committee to buy food for this year. 'Last year the Commun- ity Chest gave us $3,500, this year we are hoping for $4,000," said an executive member. He said that the welfare de- partment submits a list of "de- serving" families, or individ- duals, for scrutiny. Churches and other groups also give names of those who might be in need. Later a clearing house oper- Has Aided Needy Since ation is started at Simcoe Hall Settlement House where all lists are double-checked to avoid duplication. A packing com- mittee is later named and short- ly before Christmas Eve they begin to pack the Christmas hampers. Four volunteers from each of the city's collegiates will as- sist in packing operations. De- livery of the goods will be made soon after by members of the Westmount Kiwanis Club. Members of the Oshawa Y's Men's Club have also offered to assist in the delivery of the parcels. A Welfare Department offi- cial said that 193 food parcels were distributed before Christ- mas Day last year and that a total of 442 cheques for $5 each were sent. "The cheques went to old age pensioners, disabled persons, widows and. unmarried women, as well as single per- sons," he said. 1929 f housing to meet the needs of low and moderate income fam- ilies, senior citizens and other roups."' Mr. Orr said all tenants in "Ontario housing" will pay a rental within their economic means without regard to the size, age or cost of the dwelling and that. details of a scheme are now being worked out with a view to permitting the sale of suitable "Ontario housing" units to tenants whose economic cir- cumstances have improved to a point where home ownership be- comes feasible.
