Inquest Ordered In Woman's Death Following Rattler Bite

ORILLIA. Oat. (CP) - The On- tario attomcy - general Tuesday ordered an inquest into the death Monday of Mrs. Helen Bay. 40, of Tomato. eight days after she was bitten by a Missisauga rattle snake.

Queen's Park overruled Crown Attorney Wlllllam Thompson 01 Barrie. who earlier ruled no in- quest was necessary.

Dr. . W. Hall. who treated Mrs. Hay. said death was not di- ractly due to the snnlne bite but to a blood clot blockln off the artery to the lung. Sal one To- ronto doctor:

"There is no doubt there is some relationship between the snake's bite and the womanie death but it is difficult to assess the exact degree."

BITTEN ON ARM

Mrs. Hay. vacsioning at Honey Harbor. I nearby Georgian Bay resort. was bitten on the right arm when she picked up what she thought to be a harmless water shake. it proved to be a small

Mlsslsauga.

Within a few hours her arm was swollen three times its nor- mal size and infection later travel- led across her back and down hr age.

Three days later she was flown to hospital here. Dr. Hall said then that it was the most sevens case he had seen but Mrs. Ray's life was not in danger. RESIDENTS WORRIED

Mrs. Ray's death stirred the Georgian Bay district. where Mis- slsnugas have been reported In increasing numbers. some resi- dents demanded anti - toxin sup- plies be placed in local drug stores. .

Dr. Hall urged publication of a standard emergency procedure for snake bites.

Hcrpltologlsts in Toronto said the Mlsslsauga's bite had never proved fatal. Dr. Alan Secord, a Toronto veterinarian who was hit- tcn several years ago by a Mie- slsaugs. said infection cleared it- self within a few days after he cauterlsed the wound.

"We treated them just as we would a yacht," a customs offi- isl said. ”At least that is what she is, at least in a sense, any- way.”

The three men also encountered immigration restrictions. at least in theory.

They carried French passports. but lacked British visas. Beaudout who has lived in Montreal for four years. was finally cleared by im- migration.

His companions. who have lived in Canada for about two years. were technically restricted to the dock area but officials turned a blind eye as they wandered about the town.

Princess Spends

g Quiet Birfhdoy

LONDON (AP)-Princess Mar- garet reached age 16 Tuesday. She spent the day quietly with the rest of the royal family at Bal-

morsl Castle in Scotland.

In her absence. the London press debated the merits of her official birthday portrait. Some liked it. some thought it made her look sad.

"Isn't it odd," The Daily Mirror said. ”that a young girl should choose a gay picture one year and a sad one the next?

"Has anything happened since last year to explain the change?"

This was an apparent reference to Margaret's decision 10 months ago not to marry RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend.

The Daily Mail liked the prin- cess' portrait and saw nothing sad in her expression. A colum i called it "the most striking royal portrait of the year,” and added that the. princess' friends say "she has never been happier."
