Mr. Kerr is married and has one daughter. He is a charter member of the Toronto Chapter, National Office Mam’ement Association and a member of the Canadian Club, Mr. Kert came to the Company in 1923 as a payâ€"roll clerk, and in ensuing years worked successively through all branches of the busiâ€" ness and accounting offices to the position of Accd@untant, and, in 1942, to Assistant Secretaryâ€"Treasâ€" urer. MACLEAN â€" HUNTER NAMES NEW SECRETARY TORONTOâ€"P. G. J. Kerr has been appointed Secretary of Macâ€" leanâ€"Hunter Publishing Company Ltd., it is announced by Horace T. Hunter, president. ronto alone, some 15,000 people were evicted by their landlords on May 1, 1944. It seems unlikely that all or any considerable numâ€" ber of those 15,000 landlords only began to runt space in their homes during the free period. ‘ When there is eviction control on this type of accommodation, wellâ€"behaved tenants who already are in occupancy are accused of their shciter. When there is no eviction control, experience has shown that rentals in many cases increasc and the tenant is afraid to complain lest the landlord give him notice to vacate. Also, under the frce eviction system, tenants with cnildren are often required to vaâ€" cate in order taat the landlord may rent to a single person. Landlord Has Protection Particularly in these times when returning servicemen are seeking sneltcr, pcrsons with space to share in thcir homes should ask themâ€" selves whetaer they are justified in withholding such accommodation in a time of emergency, when it is so greatly needed. Under the reâ€" gulations a landlord has recourse against a tonant who proves obâ€" noxious or cyen incompatible. In any case, it is a relatively simple matter to make enquiries about the applicant. The Board was urged to restore eviction control to shared accomâ€" modation. The situation was so chaotic that such action was felt to be the lesser of two evils. There is no way of knowing how many people were induced to rent reoms in their homes under the free eviction system, but it is known quite definitely that in Toâ€" Bctween October 1, 1943, and July 29, 1944, landlords of shared accommodation were entitled to terminate their tenants‘ leases in «ccordance with their terms as governcd only by the law of the province. The result was that it became impossible to maintain control over rentals for this type of space and thousands of landâ€" lords gave their tenants of shared accommodation short provincial law notices to vacate, causing wideâ€" spread hardship. Wholesale Eviction In the city of Toronto alone on May 1, 1944, the head of the Housâ€" ing Registry informed the press that some 15,000 shared accommoâ€" dation tenants were under eviction on that date. Experience of Thomln Shared Accommodation ing ‘"Free" Period Is Illuminating Would many people who are not tenting rooms in their homes do so if eviction control were lifted? Would the removal of this restricâ€" tion on landlords spell shelter and security to persons who require this type of accommodation? In discussing these questions, it may be intcresting to consider what happened after the Board had liftâ€" ed eviction control on shared acâ€" commodation, and why it was found necessary to reâ€"impose it. _ We still think it is criminal to allow any transportation system to make the mess of a main thoroughfare that has been done in Waterloo and Kitchener, but at least we are glad to see that the motor driving public are at last getting some recognition for the taxes they pay. They were slow to get started, but certainly do not have to be ashamed of their efforts. There are few cities and towns that can show a more efficient job of snow removal: Do they ever think when they enter their churches and the minister quotes from his Bibleâ€""and the Lord said, suffer little chilâ€" dren to come unto me," that they are cast in His image, and could at least make an effort to follow His teachings. Do they ever think that He said, "what so ever thou doeth unto the least of these . . . .", or does it now read: "No, we won‘t rent to any people with children." We have done some complaining about the conditions of the roads ir Waterloo and Kitchener, and now think a word of praise is in order. Do they ever think that in a few years when prices become stabiâ€" lized again, that they will be mighty glad to rent to these same people that today are homeless, mainly because the people with houses, are «lso people that at the present time have money, and will not permit the want and suffering of others to interfere with their serenity . . . especially if those "others" have children. Only when he does bring his bride and his child back to the country he has offered his life for, he finds that the "little home" he pictured, isn‘t available; and while his friend has a big house with only himself and his wife to occupy it, "they can‘t stand children". Do they ever think of the man down the street in that hotel? If he is lucky he may see his wife and youngsters this weekâ€"end for a few brief hours; he may not see them until next week if it snows. But he can‘t even find one room to bring them to here . . . but of course he has children. f Do they ever think of the warâ€"weary returned man, who with shining eyes told his English or Australian bride of the wonder of Canada, and the greatness and goodness of his people. Or how they would find a home and bring up little Johnny or Mary in a country that is noted for its freedom and hospitality. Do they ever think of the eager fellow that came to the door to answer an "apartment for rent" advertisement, only to be turned rudely away when they learned he had dared to bring a child into the world. We often wonder if those smug people who are so serenely cloistered in the snug confines of their homes, ever have that phrase occur to PAGE TWO wWHY EVICTION CONTROL ON ROOMS? & THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO.
