Sugar And Spice Columnist
Most Widely-Read Canadian
Canada'a favorite humorist, Bill Smiley,
whose column "Sugar and Spice" appears each
week in, this newspaper, has won the distinction
of being syndicated in more papers than any
other Canadian columnist.
He is now being read in 111 newspapers
throughout the country,
Smiley is 40 years old and says he feels
every day of it, A native of Perth, Ontario, he
grew up there, and graduated from high school
when he was too old to play on the football
team any longer,
He went off to University of Toronto, and
commenced a course in honor English. In 1941
he joined the RCAF, and trained as' a fighter
pilot. He flew with the Tactical Air Force in Normandy, and
was shot down on Friday the 13th of October, 1944. He spent
the rest of the war in a German prison camp.
Returning to university in 1945, he fell in love with a girl
who has since become famous in Sugar and Spice as The Old
Battleaxe. A serious illness delayed graduation until 1,949. In
that year he fell into the weekly newspaper business, and for
the next decade was editor of the Wiarton, Ont., Echo. During
that period he began writing, just for fun, a column in which he
said exactly what he pleased,
A neighboring editor, George Gadogan of the Durham
Chronicle, asked if he might use the' column. Soon half a dozen
!clitors were doing the same. Steadily, the column increased in
>opularity.
A year ago the problems of distribution became so big that
Smiley contracted with the Toronto Telegram News Service
t or national syndication of the column. Since then, its circula-
..ion has increased steadily.
Last year, Bill decided to try something new, went to
teachers' college, and is currently regaling the students at
Midland, Ont., high school with his own peculiar brand of Eng-
lish. He claims that teaching is about as restful as working
in a steel mill.
The Smileys have two children, Hugh and Kim, 13 and nine,
who have provided a lot of material for the column, in the past.
Readers of Sugar and Spice are sometimes infuriated, often
amused but never bored, as they peruse the prose of a man
dedicated to looking at life without benefit of rose-colored
glasses.

which objects are clear decreas-
es, and it was to give clear
vision at this arms length dis-
tance that trifocals were de-
veloped.
Trifocals, as the word im-
plies, have three focia, distance,
intermediate, and near. A smal-
ler in segment being
positioned above the reading
portion
Now many people will say—
"Trifocals"—I have a hard en-
ough time wearing bifocals,
but, contrary to what you
might expect Trifocals are eas-
ier to wear, because there is no
violent jump from one range
to the next.
All persons having this inter-
mediate blur would benefit if
they had clear vision in this
area, but not all would prefer
trifocals nor would trifocals be
the right solution for others. It
depends largely on how they
use their eyes — first to earn
their living and then the re-
creational and social use of the
eyes.
The surgeon needs acute vis-
ion at all distances, the store-
keeper needs to see objects on
a shelf or a counter in this
critical 27 inch range, many
jobs require clear vision at all
distances, the bridge player for
seeing the dummy hand across
the table, the musician where
the music stand is beyond the
range of a bifocal.
The distances at which the
patient must have clear vision
must be determined and then
the Methods of providing clear
vision at these distances dis-
cussed.
In our office these trifocals
are carried in the form of trial
lenses which can be incorporat-
ed with your prescription into
a trial frame so that you wear
them for a short time in the
office to see if they fill your
needs.
Inquest Into Garon
eath Finds
Excessive Speed
An inquest into the death of
Robert Garon 23, Clinton, was
held in Seaforth: on Wednesday,
February 15, conducted by cor-
oner, Dr. John Goddard, Hen-
sail,
The verdict returned by the
jury was as follows: "We, the
jury, find that Robert Joseph
Garon died about 1.00 a.m. on
Sunday, December 18 from in-
juries received in a collision be-
tween his car and a car driven
by Malcolm Munroe, Seaforth,
due to excessive speed by bath
drivers for the conditions of
the road."
Jury members were: foreman
Gordon Reynolds; Harold Hug-
ill, Peter Simpson, John Pow-
ell, John Davidson, all of RR
2, Seaforth,
Witnesses testifying on the
condition of the road, all agreed
that it was icy and snow-
packed with some slush and
ground-drifting but the visi-
bility was good at the time of
the accident, which occured
just west of Seaforth on High-
way 8.
Dr. J. L. Peniston, patholo-
gist at Stratford General Hos-
pital, who had performed an
autopsy, said' Mr. Garon died
as a result of the rupture or
tearing of the great artery,
brought about by a violent blow
to the chest, which also pro-
duced fractures of four upper
ribs on the left side. The
spleen had also been widely
torn, damaged by the same
type of blow.
Dr. Peniston said it was a
common mode of death of dr-
ivers of automobiles involved
in accidents. It was character-
istic of the type of blow re-
ceived by the body hitting a
steering wheel, he said. The
average length of life following
injuries of this sort range from
a few seconds to a few minutes,
the medical man said. Doctors
attending the scene would be
unable to help such a case, he
said.
Witnesses indicated that both
cars had been travelling about
50 to 55 miles per hour.

House Plants
Need Special
Care in inter
Some house plants can be
grown in the same pot and
the same soil for years. But
once in a while the soil loses
that "something extra" and the
plant shows deficiency symp-
toms—signs of exhausted soil.
Fertilizer is the answer, al-
though indiscriminate applica-
tion is worse than nothing at
all; since a pot is small, a very
slight excess of fertilizer can
make conditions intolerable for
some plants. Stunting and even
death are sometimes caused by
high concentrations of fertilizer
salts in a soil.
Here are some suggestions
from horticulturalists of the
Ontario Department of Agri-
culture on how to fertilize house
plants.
Fertilizers applied in liquid
form are best. Potassium sul-
phate, potassium chloride, sod-
ium nitrate and ammonium sul-
phate are used at a rate of one
ounce per two gallons of water.
Ammonium nitrate is used at
the rate of one ounce per five
gallons of water. Follow in-
structions for commercial fer-
tilizers very closely.
If fertilizer is used in dry
form, apply it to a moist soil.
Remove any fertilizer that
adheres to the leaves.
Never fertilize more often
than every two or three weeks.
Fertilize when the plant has
become established—net before.
The recommended dosage for
dry fertilizer (5-10-5) is about
Va teaspoon to a five inch pot
(unless otherwise recommend-
ed).
House plant owners should
concern themselves with only
these three food requirements—
nitrogen, phosphorus and pot-
assium; other elements are
only minor and seldom enter
into the house plant picture,
SICKROOM NEEDS
Clinton, Public Library Bulletin
(By Evelyn Hail)
The words "bifocal" or double
vision, are quite common to-
day, but a surprisingly large
number of people have never
heard the word "trifocal" or
three vision and this article
is prompted by the desire to
acquaint these people with a
type of lens that allows func-
tional efficient vision at all
distances and would be of great
benefit to many of them.
Most people under 45 are
able to accommodate their eyes
for near vision, but this ability
decreases with age, and anyone
over 45 wearing Jglasees soon
realizes that if he is to enjoy
clear vision at both far and
near distances, (and not con-
stantly switching from far to
near glasses) a bifocal lens is
needed.
The first pair of bifocals and
usually the second give good
vision over the entire range, ie,
from distance night up to 10
inches from the eyes, but with
any succeeding pair there is a
blurred area at arms length
distance 24 in. to 40 in. both
through the distance prescrip-
tion and the •bifocal, because

strength increases the depth of
focus — or range over
