OUT ON A LIMB
WITH BILI. SMILEY
Its rather frightening to see the
number of comparatively young
men, between 36 and 50, say, who
are being stricken with heart at-
tacks these days.
• * * *
Medical men put it down to the
stress of high-powered living, the
speed at which our society moves.
But 1 have my own ideas. Do you
notice that none of these fellows
who crumple up with a coronary
are single? I think a little in-
telligent research would reveal the
ugly truth that marriage has a lot
to do with heart trouble. Also in-
sanity, but .we won't go- into' that
at the moment.
y: * s *
I'm not trying to be facetious.
It's just 'that I believe that, under
the present system of family life,
a heart attack is so logical it's a
wonder our hospitals aren't packed
with heart cases in the young-
►uiddleage-married bracket.

The average man can stand the
gaff at his job without turning a
hair. It's only when he leaves the
happy din of the factory, the organ-
ized chaos of the office, or the
cutthroat competition of his busi-
ness, and sets foot in the quiet
haven of his home that his nerves
go to pieces, his eyeballs start to
twitch and his heart and ulcers
launch into a poignant duet.
* *. * *
Fifty, even thirty-five years ago,
the bread -winner was happy to
regain his domicile. His home was
his castle. He entered the front
dotwith firm tread, happy mien,
sense of well-being and feeling of
escape from care. He -bussed h'ts
wife, all rosycheeked from baking,
poured himself a god snort of
blackberry cordial for his appetite,
'and moved sedately to his favorite
chair and the evening paper.

a package of frozen fish, a bottle

deposits his groceries. His nerves
begin to ease as he notes there's
no one around: Ile goes to the
refrigerator, with a slight lifting
of the spirit. But when he sees
the note leaning against the milk
bottle, his head starts to throb
again. It reads: "No, there isn't
any cold beer. Give the kids .some-
thing, I'll be late. There's some
cold meat and heat some beans.
Can of peaches in the cupboard.

Mummy? My feet are wet. What's

Ile wipes tears from the face,
mud from the floor and exaspera

are sitting over their tough cold
beef, beans that stuck to the pot
and piece of .stringy celery, before
the questions start: "Daddy, how
many presents do fhe pqor people

How many children will I have
when I get big and have boobies.

fire and stuffed himself with roast

scurried around in the back of the
cave, fixing his wild honey dessert,
with trembling and alacrity. He

Jury, P!obing Deaths Qf 2 Women
Urges Stricter Tests For Motorists •
Stricter physical examinations
for drivers were urged by a coron-
er'sjury which- suet at Seaforth
Saturday to inquire into the deaths
of Mrs. Morley Linington, 36, of
Saltford, and Mrs. Ralph Godfrey,
53, of R.R. 3, Auburn. •
Mrs. Godfrey died in a two -car
collision on Highway 8, four miles
east of Clinton, at about 9.30 p.m.
on March 8. Mrs. Linington, a
passenger in the same car, died
shortly after admittance to Clinton
Public Hospital.
'Mrs. Godfrey's husband, Ralph,
57, -was taken to hospital with
serious lacerations and bruises
about .his head.
The verdict of the jury at the
inquest read as follows:
"We find that both Mrs. ^Marg-
r -
aret Linington and Mrs. Ila Godfrey
died as a result.of Injuries suffered
in a collision between a car in
which they were riding and driven
by Ralph Godfrey easterly on No.
8 highway some four miles, west
of Seaforth with a car driven west-
erly by Mr. 'Ray Dill at approxim-
ately 9.30 pin., March 8, 1957. The
accident was causal by the neglig-
ence of Ralph Godfrey in failing to
turn out, or stay on his own side
of highway, in making a turn
without a signal, which, even with
a signal could not have been made
in safety, being too close to the
Dill car. 'We do not know the
reason for.,the tursi. We also feel'
that Mr., Srodfrey's vision, having
only one eye, may be faulty, and
had some bearing on his actions."
The jury went on to recommend

that Mr. Godfrey's driving priv-
ileged be suspended until he has
proper tests. "It appears from the
evince .that he had not disclosed
his disstb!)dty. ,We further recom-
mend that consideration be given
to changed procedure in issuing
driver's licenses to require stricter
physical examination, particularly
to eyesight."
At the time of the fatal accident,
Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey- and Mrs.
Linington had been travelling to-
ward Seaforth to attend a recep-
tion in •honor of the Godfrey's
daughter, • Ruth, who had been
married earlier to David Living. -

and ProvincialConstable D.
