TORONTO (CP)
Betty Jane Wylie, at the
age of 46, admits that she
has taken on the role of
“Canada’s token widow.”

When her husband Bill

Festival Theatre, died
unexpectedly and in the

. Wyle was left a
housewife with four
children to raise alone.

After the first shock
waves swirled over her,

‘she turned to free-lance

writing and an article
three years ago in Macl-
ean’s magazine on what it
was like to be a widow
brought enormous
response, as did a later
one in the The Canadian
magazine.

Mrs. Wylie then built
some basic information
on widowhood into a

series of brochures for
the Canadian Life In-
surance Association.
These now have been

“I find I'm merely the

Mrs. Wylie said that

Lamb's story is a

not only of ships but of

And he has a sailor’s

“Awe, and fear, of the

Lamb looks back with

“One had a sense of

“How innocent, how
