Mass Appeal has appeal
in a much different way
It has appeal, but in a different
way.
Mass Appeal which opened at
the Grand Theatre in London Fri-
day night has a reverse plot to Go-
ing My Way.
This time around, the old parish
priest is the worldy character who
tries to avoid reality and confronta-
tion with funny one-liners.
Father Tim Farley played by Ted
Follows tries to initiate a young
priest -to -be Mark Dolson portrayed
by John Jarvis into the mysteries
of parish politics.
Dolson meets Father Tim's ef-
-forts with firm resolve to tell thc
truth about his past and not com-
promise his opinions of the
present.
Their gradual progress toward a
mutual' understanding and respect
offers a humorous, poignant and
compelling look at faith and frcind-
ship. -
Father Farley boasts about his
popularity saying he signs auto-
graphs after mass. This doesn't im-
press the young seminarian who is
naive cnough to believe that the
truth is all he needs to win over the
parishioners.
The veteran priest told his young
friend, "You are one of those price-
less lunatics that come along every
so often and makes the church alive.
The only problem with lunatics is
they don't know how to survive. I
do."
The young man did not survive in
the parish. He was let go because of
. past sexual activities
Playwright BiII C. Davis says he
"is not now , nor ever has been a
seminarian", but his 16 years of
Catholic schooling in the 1960's
and 70's have given him insight
into the unique world of the priest-
hood.
Mass Appeal continues at the
Grand Theatre each night Monday
through Saturday until April 9 at 8
p.m. with matinees scheduled for
each Wednesday and Saturday aftcr-
noons at 2 p.m.

Questions on AIDS
by Iluron County
Health -Unit
If you have questions about
AIDS, you can obtain confidential
answers by calling or writing the
Huron County Health Unit, Box
120, Clinton, Ontario, NOM ILO.
Phone 482-3416 or 1-800-265-
5184.
1. WHAT IS AIDS?
AIDS stands for Acquired Im-
mune Deficiency Syndrome. It is
an infectious discasc caused by a
virus called H.I.V. (Human Immu-
nodeficiency Virus). This virus
breaks downpart of the body's dc-
fcnsc system, leaving the body un-
able to fight off infections.
The term AIDS refers only to the
final stage of the illness. Thcrc arc
scvcral stages of infection. The
first stage is the carrier stage with
either no symptoms or mild to
moderate symptoms which may
clear up or become worse.
It is too soon to tell whether
everyone infected with the virus
will develop AIDS. Some research-
ers feel that" over a period of time
all those infected will develop
AIDS while others feel some may
not develop the illness for many
years, or not at all.
2. WHERE DOES THE AIDS.
VIRUS COME FROM?
At this time we don't know. In
the summer of 1981 the first cases
of an unusual lung infection and
rare cancers appeared in previously
healthy homosexual men in the
United States. These diseases had
previously only been seen in peo-
ple who were born with a disorder
of the immune system or had been
taking special drugs to suppress
the immune system. The numbcr
of cases increased, and by the end
of 1981 doctors realized they were
seeing a brand new discasc. It may
have evolved from a less harmful
form of a human virus or even an
animal virus. Some researchers feel
that the disease may have originat-
ed as a virus discovered in the Afri-
can green monkcy. This virus did
not make the green monkey ill but
when injected ,into the Rhesus
monkey it did cause disease. We
probably will never be sure where
the virus originated.
3. HOW DO PEOPLE GET
AIDS?
AIDS is known to bc. spread
only when blood or semen from an
infected person enters the body of
another person. The four known
ways to get AIDS arc:
1. sexual relations with an in-
fected person
2. contaminated blood or blood
products
3. sharing needles - among drug
users
4. at the time of birth if thc
mother has AIDS
Thcrc is no evidence that AIDS is
spread through normal day-to-day
contact. The virus does not survive
on door knobs or toilet scats. There
has not been one case of infection
by casual contact. Small amounts
of thc AIDS virus have been found -
in tears and saliva but, to date, not
one case of virus transmission via
these fluids has been reported.
4. WIIICH GROUPS ARE CON-
SIDERED TO BE AT HIGH RISK
FOR DEVELOPING AIDS?
1. homosexual men
2. bisexual men
3. intravenous drug users
4. people from geographic areas
where there is a high prevalence of
the disease
5. haemophiliacs who received
blood products between 1980 and
November 1, 1985
6: anyone who received a blood
transfusion between. 1980 and No-
vember 1, 1985
7. sexual partners of any of the
above
8. men and, women who have
many different sex partners
9. prostitutes - male or female
10..• infants born to mothers in
high risk groups
11. women who have been artifi-
cially inseminated with unscreencd
donor semen.
5. WHAT ARE THE EARLY
SYMPTOMS OF AIDS?
The discasc is not usually diag-
nosed by the presence of one symp-
tom, but by a combination of sever-
al symptoms. These symptoms
may indicate scvcral infections and
people should not attempt self-
diagnosis. Your doctor should be
consulted if you notice the follow-
ing:
1. swollen glands in scvcral plac-
es, that 'persist for more than a
month ie: below your cars, in your
groin or armpits
2. unexplained weight loss of
more than. 10 pounds or 10 percent
of your body weight in two
tnonths.
3. fatigue and, loss of appetite -
lasting longer than one month
4. fevers and night sweats lasting
for several days to scvcral weeks
• 5. a dry cough, lasting longer
than two weeks and sometimes with
a -fever and shortness of breath
6: persistent diarrhea lasting long-
er thantwo weeks
7. a herpes type sore lasting more
than a month
8. a thick white coating of the
tongue and mouth (oral thrush) last-
ing several weeks
9. purplish -red lumps anywhere
on the body that seem to be getting
larger
10. problems with co-ordination
and significant loss of memory.
6. IS THERE. A CURE FOR
AIDS? •
At present there is no vaccine to
prevent AIDS and no cure for
AIDS. AIDS is a fatal discasc!
