* Seven delegates from Ont. County attend anti-poverty conference Anti poverty organizers will try to establish at least one activist in each munici- pality in the county before regionalization takes place, according to Tom King, Ontario County's represen- tative on the 20 member governing council of the Ontario Anti Poverty Organ- ization. Mr. King was elected to serve his second suc- cessive one year term at the Ontario Anti Poverty Con- ference in Toronto last weekend. There was only one Port Perry man among the 700 delegates who gathered from all parts of the province to, "develop an action program that will wipe the blight of poverty off the face of » Ontario's map once and for all" Delegates were chosen by labour unions including U.A.W., churches, native indian bands, associations of social workes, welfare ad- ministrators and their staffs, college faculty and poor peoples groups. Mr. King said that his desire to develop volunteer workers in all municipalities within the county resulted from his own -inability to cope with all the requests for advise he received during his last term on the council of the province-wide organi- zation. Mr. King does not own a car, and has had to turn down requests from people who live too far from his Oshawa home. He indi- cated that he gets a great many calls, particularly from farming communities. He said that the present system pretty well forces a person down on their luck to move into the city if they want help. He described as "unfair" the system that says a person who has been raised on a farm then finds that he has to go into Oshawa il he wants to apply for public housing or reasonable social assistance. As an example he cited cases of a breadwinner dying in a rural community and leaving a wife and small children who can not entirely fend for themselves. "Why should they have to leave the community they are used to and move into the polluted city to get the assistance they n eed?" he asked. The many resolutions passed by the conference included one to make sub- sidised housing available in smaller communities and another. _to- end housing discrimination against nat- ive indian people. Port Perry will get its first subsidised, public housing facility when Ontario Hous- ing Corporation constructs a new senior citizens residence on Bigelow Street.
