No additiona] details were announced, but ap- parently some settlement has been made. About 1500 employees of Good- year, New Toronto, were unem- ployed as the resuit of a wildcat strike in the tire cure dept. on Monday. At the moment it ap- pears that the walkout had been frowncd on by Union officiais. Workers at the Bowmanville plant would not have been cffected if the strike had continued. According to reports, the strike was brought about because of long-standing dis-satisfaction by cure department employccs over the piecework rates in effect since last Fcbruary. The blow-up came when the company made a rotation in shifts which the cm- ployees felt was unsatisfactory. The grievance had been negotiat- ed in February and was scttled at that time, to the satisfaction of union heads but apparcntly was not approved by the men directly involvcd.

Funeral Director'ifs Complicated Job Described ai Rotaryby Don Norrig Why do small town funcral di- rectors aperate a subsidiary type of business? The answer, accord- ing ta Don Morris of the F. F. Marris Company, concerns itself with expense. Because a funcral director must maintain a large staff, comparatîvely mo d er n equipment and an ambulance ser- vice that is an caîl 24 hours a day, bis avcrhcad, the cast of running a funcral establishment, is under- standably high. Don Morris, delivering a classi- fication talk at the Rotary lun- cheon, Friday, July 7, said: "The support we receive in aur furni- bure business enables us ta carry on a 24-hour ambulance service". This service, according ta tbc speaker, introduced by Rev. S. R. Henderson, is aperated at a loss. "Even in Oshawa, Toronto and other large centres", he said, "either the private ambulance ser- vice Jases moncy or the service has ta be stabsidized by a hospital or municipality"'. The êstimabed eust bo establish a small funeral .iqtvice is approximately $25,000. )çt the United States, some estab- 1'shments are warth in the ncigh- bourhood of one million dollars. Funeral Directors Early funeral directors took on variaus shapes, dependink upon geographical position, but the anes most.familiar ta Canadians arc the tribal witch doctor, bbc high priest and the medicine man. Today, without the superstition typical a!ftribal life, a funcral director requires many qualifica- tions. "Some o! the special abil- ities and training" that a modemn funeral director must have asi welI as ensure in members a! his staff are: "First aid, plastic sur- gery, demi-surgery, hairdressing, barbering and flower arrange- ment". Besides these particular skills, staff members must be able ta fill in as chauffeurs, book- keepers and just plain business- men. Every business, and cvery branch of the business requires a liccnsed embalmer. Funeral Service "The funcral service is anc o! the bldest professions", the speak- er statcd. Briefly dcscribed, it is the came o! ýhe human dcad. "The preparation for,~ and the conduct- ing of the last rites--the servicc by which civilized men pay their last tribube and respect ta their beloved 'dcad". Seventy years ago, funeral di- rectars were called undertakers àdth-\erious mian in the-black clothes who rail the establishment was cither a cabinet maker, a far- mer or the owner o! a livery stable. Undertaking was a part- time job. In early days, there was littie capital autlay in cstab- lishing a business o! this nature. The funeral service was "mainly the supplying a! a coffin and a hearse with plumes, and if pos- sible, a tcam o! black horses. Un- like today, the undertaker did not possess special qualifications, nor did he aperate under a gov- ernment license. In the southcrn part o!
