Vilia attacks Alzheimer with several activities In support of fellow senior citizens, the residents of Exeter Villa are pool- ing their efforts during Nursing Hoine Week, June 21-28, to raise funds for research into Alzheimer Disease. Alzheimer's is a debilitating disease that affects some 300,000 middle-aged and elderly Canadians. ' "This is a major annual fund rais- ing event, coordinated each year throughout the province by the On- tario Nursing Home Association," said Kathy O'Reilly, DOC/Ad- minstrator. 'It's a wonderful way to rally the energy and resources of nur- ing home residents and staff across Ontario in support of (his worthy cause." Exeter Villa is conducting a varie- ty of activities including open house, family picnic, bake sale, draw for an afghan and a barbecue, during Nurs- ing Home Week. The first event, an open house will be held on Sunday June 21 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. All funds raised throughout Ontario during Nursing Home- Week will be donated to the Alzheimer Association of Ontario, Kathy O'Reilly said. "Our target at Exeter Villa 'is $50).00 this year, for our first endeavour at fun- draising for the Alzheimer Association. Since 1984 the Ontario Nursing Home Association has raised over $167,000 for medical research into Alzheimer Disease. Alzheimer Disease is a brain disorder causing memory loss and serious mental deterioration. There is no known prevention or cure for the disease that is the fourth most common cause of death among Canadians. Mgn and women from age 40 on- wards can be affected by Alzheimer Disease, with people over 65 being the most vulnerable. The ailment may last from two to fourteen years after its onset. Significant memory loss is the first symptom, and as the person grows more forgetful, other mental capacities deteriorate until routine daily tasks become impassible to per- form. Eventually the person requires constant care and attention. Alzheimer Disease was once thought to be the result of senility or of simply growing old. It is now recognized as a specitic disease for which, in time, medical science will discover the cause, treatment and prevention. Extensive research is presently be- ing carried out in Ontario and elsewhere including investigation in- to the possibility that chromosome 21 contains the gene for familial Alzheimer Disease. Come and join us at the Villa dur- ing the week of June 21, as we work towards our target. fti .

The play, which will open at the Avon Theatre Stratford, on June 25 deals with war, and all the senselessness which goes with it. Two outstanding poets of World War 1, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, meet in 1917 at a convalescent hospital for victims of shell shock. •The play develops around the friend- ship between them. The words are a fusion of Latin and English texts drawn from the tradi- tional Roman Catholic burial service, while the music is a free arrangement of several popular war -time songs. After only three rehearsals the boys mel at the Avon Theatre to record the music under the direction of Allan Za- ing and Brian Emeryl conductor of the Boychoir. Exeter can be proud of these young singers, and also of Jeremy ,Straw, Simon Dinney and Fred Godbolt who are all current Boychoir members. Audtions for the 1987-88 season will be held at Exeter United Church on Wednesday June 24, beginning at 7 p.m. For further information, please contact George Godbolt at 235-2740 or 235-0691.
