The 'brief being submitted 'Tuesday night by the students' law society of the University of Toronto says the Senate should be replaced by a federal upper house composed of leading members of provinciai cabinets, who would meet as a perma- nent federal-provincial confer-| ence.

A member of the committee, Harry Worton (L -- Wellington South) asked what percentage of undertakers' accounts were uncollectable. Mr. Dods said it was "certainly not more than 1 per cent." : Norm Davison (NDP--Hamil- ton East) asked what would be the difference in profit on a $200 funeral or a $1,000 funeral. Mr. Paul said it would be in the markup on the more expensive coffin. Cost of services would be essentially the same. Horace Racine (L -- Ottawa East), himself an undertaker, said it would be difficult to tell a pauper's funeral from that of a millionaire. The difference would be in the type of coffin. Mr. Paul said often the un- dertaker attempts to dissuade the less well-off persons from buying an expensive coffin be- cause he knows he will have to collect for it later. dren's Aid Societies, said "'there is no justification for interna- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Decomber 1, 1965 7 Burlington Coupie Planning Of Hone Kona Child tional adoptions when we have 600 babies available most of ihe time in Ontario."
