r r 8 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER June 12,1974 FIRE DEPT INVEST1GA TES Woman found dead following fire at Hixon St. Home The charred body of a 58-year-old Oakvil le woman was found last W e d n e s d a y by firefighters lying face down on her bed in Hixon St. home. Funeral services were held on Friday in Windsor for Doreen Thompson after she was identified by out-of-town relatives. The fire department was notified of a fire in the house about 8:45 in the morning by postman Ivan Gilbert. After breaking down the rear door, Gilbert was forced out of the house by dense smoke. Firefighters, wearing air packs, had to force their way into the front door way which was barricaded by a bookcase and through the bedroom door, blocked by a dresser before they found the woman's body. A g as can w as discovered lying on the bed and a note was scrawled on a wall downstairs. The wo ma n was pronounced dead at the scene of the fire by Halton coronor Dr. G.K. Phillips and an autopsy revealed she died of smoke inhalation. Police do not susp'ect foul play to be involved in the incident but are waiting for a fluid analysis to be completed. Also investigating the fire death, the first in Oakville in over three years, are the local fire departm ent and the Ontario Fire Marshall's office.

He blamed the layoffs and cutbacks on material shortages which, he said, have arisen mainly "due to work stoppages at major producers." Scholl said the most critical shortage is in the supply of rims and tires at present. Among other reasons for the parts shortage, Scholl cited the recent rapid growth of the heavy equ i p men t i ndus t ry which has resulted in a g r e a t d e m a n d for materials, and added that "unclear" government brake and emission standards may have c r e a t e d an a i r of u n c e r t a i n t y amo n g suppliers.

The key to the Mack Truck situation could we l l l i e in t h e negotiations between F i r e s t o n e R u b b e r Company and Local 113 of the Uni ted Rubber Workers of America which were scheduled to begin last Monday. Until the Hamilton plant starts production again, rims and tires will become increasingly difficult to get, according to Scholl. Even if the Firestone strike ends at the bargaining table this time around, heavy machinery producers could face further supply shortages s i n c e w o r k e r s a t Canadian Goodyear, B.F. Goodrich and Uniroyal plants will reach the end of their contracts later this year. They are awaiting the Firestone settlement.
