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.

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."

"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. - aton. • - Dr. E.
