Inquest Jury finds Negligence
In P�uble otor Fatality
A coroner's jury inquiring into a
two -car collision which claimed the
lives of two women west of Sea -
forth on March 8 last, found the
accident resulted from the negli-
gence of Ralph Godfrey, R.R. 3,
Auburn, the driver of one of the
vehicles.
One of the victims was Mr. God-
frey's wife. Mrs. Ila Godfrey,' the
other 'being the second passenger
in the Godfrey car. Mrs. Margar-
et Linnington, of Goderich.
The jury verdict read: "We
find that both Mrs. Margaret Lin-
ington 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
Mr. Ralph Godfrey. easterly on No,
8 Highway, some four miles Nest
cif Seaforth, with a car driven west-
erly by Mr. Ray Dill at approxi-
mately 9:30 p.m., March 8. 1957.
The accident was caused by the
negligence -of Ralph Godfrey in
failing to turn out, or stay on his
own side of the highway, irt mak-
ing 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 turn. We
also feel that Mr. Godfrey's vision,
having only one eye. may be faul-
ty, and had some bearing on his
actions.
"We recommend that his driv-
ing privileges be suspendetj until
he has proper tests. It appears
from the evidence that he had not
disclosed this ' disability.
"We further recommend that
consideration be given to changed
procedure in issuingdrivers' lic-
enses to require stricter physical
examination, particularly to eye-
sight."
Members of the jury were J. W.
Crich, foreman; Warren A. Gib-
bings, Kenneth E. Williams. Ray-
mond Jamieson and Newman Gar-
rett.
The jury retired shortly before
12 o'clock noon and reached a ver-
dict an hour later.
Coroner Dr. E. A. McMaster pre-
sided. and witnesses were exam-
ined by Crown Attorney H. Glenn
Hays.
In all, ten witnesses were called
to assist the jury in determining
what contributed to the deaths of
the two women:
The first witness was Dr. J. Ad-
dison, of Clinton, who had attend-
ed Mr. Godfrey at the hospital at
10:30 the night of the accident.
Mrs. Liningtoe was living then, but
died shortly later, he said. He said
that from a visual examihation,
Mr. Godfrey was suffering from a
large laceration of the scalp and
concussion, together with chest in-
juries.. There was no trace of
liquor. He determined that Mr.
Getlfrey naden aetificial lett eye
and agreed as a result of a nes4
Von roM Mite& Aif
ficelty in judging the distance of
approaching vehicles. He had not
tested the remaining eye.
He told the jury that Mr. God:
frey was semi-conscious when ad-
mitted, and that for quite a few
.days his condition was serious,
a'nd that it was at least a week
before he could be considered as
having returned to normal. In an-
swer to a question, he agreed that
the concussion web severe enough
to have provided a complete loss
of memory.
The next witness, Dr. F. M. New-
land, of Clinton, who attended • at
the scene of the accident, told
the jury that he found on arrival
that Mrs. Godfrey was dead, lying
on the north shoulder of the road;
Mrs. Linington was in the car. She
was, in deep shock and there was
difficulty in removing her. It took
at least 20 minutes to free her.
There were no outward signs of
injury, other than a email lacera-
tion on the right shoulder. Sub-
sequent postmortem examinations
determined that.Mrs. Godfrey had
died as a result of a severed aorta,
and Mrs. Linington from a ruptur-
ed diaphragm and fractured pelvis.
Sudden Turn
The ,driver of -the second car in-
voTtred, Ray Dill, of Sebringville.
told the jury he was 18 years of
age and that he was driving west
when suddenly an approaching ve-
hicle made a lefthand turn across
in front of him:Passengers in his
car were Bernard Kipler, le Seb-
ringville, and Agnes Carter, of Sea -
forth. It was around 9:30 in the
evening, and the weather • was
good. He described the distance
as being about four or five car
lengths away when the approach-
ing car swung in front of him. He
was travelling about 40 to 45 miles
an hour, he thought, because he
had been watching the speedome-
ter. As soon as he saw the car
swing over, he applied the brakes
and his car skidded. His vehicle
struck the right door of the God-
frey car. Dill said that he was
knocked out for a minute or so.
Afterwards he was taken to hos-
pital for examination, but it was
discdvered that he was not badly
hurt. .In answer to a question, he
felt that the Godfrey car was still,
moving when it was bit, but that
it was well over to the north shoul-
der of the road.
After the crash be assisted in
pulling Miss Carter out of the car
and a farmetecame along, And with
hie assistance, .they removed Mr.
Podfrey from the other car. 'He
said there were two women in the
front seat. He told the jure he saw
a bottle with a black label lying
on 'the floor of the back seat, and
a•small bottle lying on the pave-(
meat, about four fee , from the
teen' ar ter those #

said that the first thing he re-
alized after the accident happen-
ed. was that he was outside the car
attempting to stand up. He had
seen approaching lights. but didn't
realize that they were going to
crash.
Mrs. George Miller. of Seaforth,
was a passenger in a car going
east, driven by her mother, and it
was the first vehicle to arrive at
the accident scene. Her mother
went to the nearby farm of Ken
Williams, she told the jury. to
phone for help. Mrs. Miner said
the Carter girl was on the high-
way and her face was covered
with blood, She recalled that she
warned someone to shut off the
ignotion of the car to avoid fire,
She could fiear a lady calling from
the other car, but did not look in.
A car approached from the east,
and Mr. Williams. who had been
summoned by her mother, came
along and afterwards went to get
blankets.
Cars Together
James Handy was driving west
to Clinton en route from Windsor,
having been picked up in Seaforth
by his mother. The cars were in
contact when be came uporl the

Says Rural -Urban ,
Accord important
The relationship existing between
town and country in an agricultur-
al community, such as Seaforth,
must be one based on co-operation
and appreciation of each other's
problems, James R. Scott told the
members of Seaforth Lions Club
and their farmer guests on the oc-
casion of the annual Rural Night
on Monday.
In a predominately agricultural
community. everyone is affected
by the health, welfare and progress
of agriculture, he said.
Regretting the extent„ to which
industrial demands were remov-
ing good agricultural land from
production, the speaker said he
hoped the day would not come
when towns like Seaforth became
the suburbs of manufacturing cen-
tres. Instead, be felt a compromise
could be reached in such cases
and that a series of small indus-
tries could guarantee the progress
each community desired, and at
the same time avoid a disruption
such as results with the arrival of
a big industry.
Introduced by A. Y. McLean, he
was thanked by J. E. Keating.
Chairman for the meeting was H.
Leslie, and assisting in the ar-
rangements were Carm Rowcliffe,
H. Jackson and H. Hunt.

of modern living were
discussed by A. W. Sillery when he

The tendency to gossip, to reach
conclusions without being in full

condemned by the speaker as con-
tributing to an unsettled state of
mind. When told in front of chil-
dren; such stories lead to a lessen-
ing of respect,on the part of chil-
dren and An him, could contribute
to juvenile delinquency.
