Observes Sixth
Year AS Golden
Rule Member

Well over a quarter Of a century
ago a small group of funeral
directors were banded together by
their mutual desire to make it easy
for anyone, anywhere, to select a
dependable, ethical and moderately
priced funeral director in time Of
need.
These funeral directors called
their organization The Order of the
Golden Rule. Other funeral direc-
tors all over the world became in
terested in the Order, and it became
necessary to create sort OF screen
ing operation which would make
sure that new members had the
same high ideals that activated the
original members.
A set of rigid qualifications were
set up, dealing with the ethics, the
equipment, the professional training
and the experience of each appli-
cant - but it was felt that some
thing more was required.
Accordingly, it was required that
the applicant must be approved by
the people in the best possible posi-
tion to know him: families served,
clergymen, physicians, lawyers, and
other business and professional men
in his own community.
Every applicant has to pass these
tests; that's why membership in the
Order of the Golden Rule is such a
coveted distinction. There is only
one member of the Order in each
community, except in a very few of
the worlds largest metropolitan
areas. The Order makes very clear
that this does not mean that only
one funeral director in the COM
munity is worthy of this distinction;
in many communities it is possible
that ALL the local funeral directors
could qualify.
The Order is content to have only
one member in each community; to
be in a position to assure the public
that wherever they find a funeral
director who is member of the
Order, they may call that funeral
director in time of need with the
assurance that his service will be
modern, ethical, and moderate in
price; that his facilities will be
adequate in every way.
Funeral directors who are affili-
ated with the Order of the Golden
Rule make their identity known by
their use of the Symbol Of the
Order: a knight in full armor, sup
porting a shield upon which is en-
blazoned the motto of the Order:
Service Measured Not By Gold, but
by the Golden Rule.
This Symbol will be very familiar
to the people of Cleveland, for it
has been used by Edwards, the local
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1955-10-06

cancelled in exchange for turn
ing his existing assets over to
the courts for distribution among
his creditors.
OF course, the purpose of
bankruptcy still includes the
protection of creditors. But the
extent to which bankruptcy is
employed mainly for the benefit
of the debtor, rather than the
creditor, can be seen from the
following figures:
During the 1855 fiscal year,
there were 1850 cases in which
individuals and businesses went
into bankruptcy voluntarily;
there were only 1.249 cases in
which creditors sued to force
bankruptcy proceedings.

during the 1855 fiscal year. OF
this number, about $4,000 cases
were voluntary bankruptcies in
volving individuals not engaged
In business. and another 10000
cases were petitions filed by in
dividual wage-earners.
In addition, individual bank
ruptcies are on the upsWing
while the business bankruptcy
picture appears to be relatively
static.
This situation. now reported
by the administrative office OF
the United States Courts, may
suggest to the economist that
individuals are overwhelming
themselves to a greater degree
than are businessmen. But it
also points to a continuing
change in the philosophy oenlno
bankruptcy law.
Originally. the idea of bank
ruptcy was solely to form pro-
lection for creditors. English
law, from the time of Henry
WIN until the birth of the
limited States. had applied
bankruptcy proceedings only to
traders. And the first American
statute on the subject. passed by
Congress In 1900, limited bank
ruptcy remedies to the creditors
of traders, bankers, underwrit-
ers. brokers and commercial
agents.
Later on, however. American
bankruptcy laws began to EN-
phasize another aspect OF the
needs of the business world.
That need was to wipe the
slate clean for the person hope
lessly in debt and give him q
fresh start in business. In the
language of lawyers, "the re-
Mobilization of the debtor has
become an object of increasing
concern to Congress"
1t was primarily for this rea-
son that the so-called voluntary
petition in bankruptcy" was de-
yeloped. voluntary" bankrupt

option-to have his debts legally

''unfavorable" trend in local cli-

possible confirmation of the ice adj

Robert E. Hilty, graduate stud
ent from Cleveland, found that ice
temperatures within the glacier
were near 10 degrees F. and DEM
onstrated that a tunnel dug un-
der the ice cliff was slowly closed

Ohio State Study
OF Greenland Ice
Cap Yields Info

A Greenland expedition, made up
of Ohio State University faculty
and students, has confirmed scien-
fists suspicion that at least one
glacier is advancing, although most
of the worlds glaciers are now
shrinking.
The trip to northwest Green
land some 700 miles within the
Arctic Circle, took place last sum-
mer under leadership of DR.. Rich
ard p. Goldthwait of Ohio States
geology department.
The nine-member party studied
a remote edge of the Great Green
Land Ice Cap 40 miles north of
Thule Air Force Base. Now re-
ports on the project are being pre-
pared on the campus.
The 212 month research expedi-
ton was undertaken as part of a
program sponsored by the Snow,
Ice and Permafrost Establishment
of the US. Army Corps of Engin-
eers, which is interested in glac-
iers' behavior because of their inn
portance in engineering or mill
tary operations.
The particular ice edge which
the Ohio State party studied is
advancing, DR.. GoldthWait ex-
plains, because of an increase in
snowfall in that region. The heav-
ier SHOWS, however, are due to

achment of the sea in nearby

your Christmas cards for first
class mail service) and ask any
questions you may have about
mailing regulations.
You can do this in a leisurely
way if you will come to the Post
Office before 1890 am. or be-
tween 1:30 and $3.50 pm. thus
missing the rush hours. On your
way home pick up a supply of
heavy wrapping paper, sturdy en-
PITY cartons, strong cord and kraft
paper adhesive tape. A modest in
vestment in these necessities will
pay big dividends in safe delivery
of your cherished Christmas gifts.
After your gift wrapping and
packing is complete, plan your
mailings so that those for the most
distant points go first. Try to get
all long-distance mailings into the
Post Office before December 5th
and those for nearby points should
be mailed by December 10th. You'll
be glad you did.
