Provide nursing home activities
pops for aged
Residents of nine Western
Ontario nursing-homes are
having a more active summer
thanks to Project S.N.A,P.
S,N.A.P. (Students working in
nursing-home activity
programme) is a project in the
Ontario Government's
Experience '73 programme.
Eight high school girls, 16-18
years old, are coming up with
some innovative, very fun ways
to reactivate the residents of
local nursing homes.
Brian Miller; a fourth year
Sociology student at Western,
who is co-ordinating the local
programme, says the project has
been well received,
"Nursing home residents who
formerly may have sat and
looked at four walls are now
given the opportunity to par-
ticipate in a variety of activities
ranging from sports to bus trips.
As well as helping to limber their
stiff joints the activities chase
away loneliness arid sharpen
minds to what is happening
beyond the bedroom door."
Nursing homes in Goderich,
Mitchell, Seaforth, Hensall and
Lucknow have been chosen to
participate in the reactivation
scheme. Mr. George Gregg of
Goderich, a field worker for
Homes for Special Care with the
Ministry of Health is responsible
for the local application and
setting up of the project.
In a typical day the nine team
members divide into three
groups and visit three nursing
homes, They bring with them
materials that they have found
around their homes and
materials donated by local
merchants. These are used in
activities such as macrame,
towel exercises, relay races,
darts, bean bag toss, bowling and
singing favourite old songs,
Brian said that they have had
several parties outside on the
lawns and have found them to be.
really enjoyable.
"Movement down steps for
many of the residents is painful,
but when they know there is a
party they try their best to get
there."
When asked about the future of
the project, Brian said, "In order
that a post-programme
depression does not set in, in the
fall when the project terminates,
we are working closely with the
staff of the homes in hopds that
they will continue and expand the
activation programme."
"The co-ordination of the ac-
tivities, however, often requires
much personnel, since one can
How often you have headaches
varies according to what you do

shows that farmers suffer least -
only 50 percent complain of
headaches. College students top
the list with 80 percent and
businessmen follow closely
behind with 77 percent.

interact effectively only on a one-
to-one basis with those residents
who are severely regressed,"
To skirt the problem of help, at
least one home in the area is
considering an "Adopt a Grand-
parent" plan whereby citizens
can volunteer to look after the
social and recreational needs of a
resident.
Brian feels those who get in-
volved with the residents will find
it rewarding. "The stories they
can tell are our best source of
local history. Some of them were
real characters in their day."
Brian who has very long hair
and a beard said that one woman
showed him a picture of her
father who looked similar to
himself. He felt this suggested
that "the proverbial generation
gap may not be so formidable
after all."
The work does have its more
serious aspects as well. "Seeing
residents who are severely in-
capacitated or ones who really
want to die is disconcerting.
Working with them is our biggest
challenge," Brian said, "Then
somedays a resident may be in
bad humour — we're all like that
sometimes — and interaction is
difficult,"
Sometimes problems are just
plain funny, Brian says "I
promised one lady a walk, but
when it came time to go she had
changed her mind. It seems she
thought her boy friend would be
jealous if he saw us together,"

district safety and information
co-ordinator, D.H.Q. Mount
Forest recently visited Carson's
Family Camp, Sauble Beach, to
launch an experimental idea,
that of visiting the trailer parks
and camp grounds in Sauble
Beach.
O.P.P. officers have attended
various functions to speak to
groups on the function of the
Force, safety in the home, on the
highways and streets, but always
on an invitational basis.
The response received on his
four outings at camp sites at
Sauble Beach has been very
encouraging, with approximately
700 persons in attendance, The
Constable is available to answer
questions and listen to verbal
complaints before and after
showing of films.
Three films are shown, "Lucky
You", a humorous film aimed at
the children and covering all
aspects of safety; '.'Every Hour-
Every Day", is a film narrated
by Danny Thomas covering the
police functions and duties in the
U.S.A. and Canada; and "The
Third Killer", a highway safety
film, subtle but shock type film,
showing how easy a person can
get involved in an accident.
If the response is satisfactory
at the close of the summer,
