Citizens News, November 24, 1976-Page•11 Classical movies shown to seniors at Maplewood Classical movies are avail- able to the Golden Agers in the area thanks to funding received by Maplewoods Apartments from a New Horizons grant. However, the person who dreamed the entire thing up is a resident of Maplewood, Mr. DeBosdari. Mr. Debosdari suggested to Mr. Joe Risi of the Bluewater Rest Home, such activities as movie watching would help the older people in the area to escape once in a while. The program he has selected is composed of the older classic movies, not the "Knock about" lar arrangements "might be available for those wishing such a service in Dashwood. Mr. DeBosdari is trying to get "The Sound of Music" to show in the spring, but so far there has been nothing definite concerning that particular mov- ie. Mr, DeBosdari has made a schedule listing the movies to be shown for the first part of the winter. They are: November 25, 1976 - Mrs. Wiggs and Cabbage Patch December 2, 1976 - Egg and I -December 9, 1976 - Going My The movies will be shown every Thursday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Anyone wishing more information in the Zurich area should call Mrs. O'Brien, 236-4396. Those in Dashwood should call Mr. Todd, 236- 4500. The New Horizons grant will last Maplewoods through two winters of movies according to Mr. DeBosdari. Although most of the movies will be the old classics, Mr. DeBosdari feels there should perhaps be some of the better adult movies of the present day included, such as "Other CLASSICAL MOVIES—Mr. DeBosdair, the man who arranged to get movies shown at Maplewoods addresses those Golden Agers who enjoyed the first film "Ma and Pa Kettle" last week. Photo by McKinley comedies, but the good classi- cal movies. "I do not want to introduce anything which will be contro- versial, " Mr. DeBosdari ex- plained, "but I want to give people a chance to escape a little." The first movie, "Ma and Pa kettle", was shown last Thursday afternoon. Beginning in January Mr. DeBosdari wants to get a new program from the National film board which includes some ex- cellent documentaries for vari- ety from the classics. The films are not just for the residents of Maplewoods. On the contrary, Mr. DeBosdari is even trying to get permission to use the rest home bus to pick up some of the Zurich ladies who wish to attend and take them home again at night so they would not have to worry about cars. If the demand is there, and arrangements can be made, Mr. DeBosdari felt similar arrangements can be made, Mr. DeBosdari felt simi- s NOTICE To The Electors of the Township of Hay An Advance Poll for the December 6th, 1976 Municipal Election will be held in the Hay Township Office, Zurich, Ontario on t::. rdcy, Nova.,, ber 27th HOURS — 11:00 A.M.
