This past week, I got my teeth cleaned, took my
driver’s test and went to confession at chiph.
I knew that no one had ever been this wonderful
before. In fact, I could barely stand to fall asleep and
be gone from me for seven whole hours.
As I told my friend, Mayva, “I am cleansed. Just
one of these pious acts would put me in a state of

During the plant exchange Sanctimouious Decathlon and doubted if there was
one. Mayva insisted I was wrong. She said there was a
series of 10 holier-than-thou events that had never
been completed by anyone during a seven-day period.
They included: The hand-washable tournament.
Every piece of wash-by-hand laundry that had been
put back to do when there was time is laundered. A
place where navel bands meet a football jersey and
they belong to the same kid.
The write-your-mother-on-no-occasion* event. It
must not include Christmas greetings, birthday-
wishes, a request for money or a pitch to baby-sit.
Servicing your lawn mower during the winter
playoffs. A real test of responsibility over cheapness.

The tidy games. This includes gathering up five
years of newspapers and two years of redeemable
bottles out of the garbage and returning them to
where the belong, and matching trading stamps from
all over the house to an empty stamp book. The latter
is a game of strength, endurance, and bad breath.

“Do you think you could pull all of them off?” asked
Mayva.
“That’s only nine,” I said. “What’s the other one?”
“Cleaning the oven.”
I didn’t continue the discussion. Somehow Mayva
always ends up talking dirty.

Deputy's Wife Plays Cupid
For Sequestered Juror
EBENSBURG, Pa. (AP)
— David Melnik couldn’t
speak for himself — he was
sequestered with other
jurors hearing a murder
trial here. So he got a court
official to pop the question to
his girlfriend.
Melnik, 24, one of the
jurors hearing the murder
trial of David and Norman
Johnston, enlisted the aid of
Rita Bums in proposing to
his girlfriend.
Mrs. Bums, responsible
for relaying personal phone
calls of the jurors, passed
along the proposal when she
called Helen Siciliano to tell
her Melnik’s laundry was
ready to be picked up.
“I said, ‘David would like
to know if you’d marry him.’
She said, ‘Oh. Yes.’”
DEAR READER - I wish
that 1 could be the bearer of
good tidings. Unfortunately, 1
cannot. Alzheimer's disease is
a disease of the brain and it
does affect people in the same
way that aging sometimes
affects the brain. Its exact
cause is not known except it
can occur in people at a rela-
tively young age, far earlier
in life than you would expect
to see from simple aging.
The symptoms are the same
as you might see with aging of
the brain which includes the
problems with memory, men-
tal confusion and inability to
concentrate that you mention,
as well as others. It is not
caused by poor circulation to
the brain. The symptoms may
be similar but the cause is
entirely different. Unfor-
tunately. there is no available
cure.
I am sending you The
Health Letter number 14-2,
The Aging Mind. It discusses
the problem of changes in the
brain with age Other readers
who want this issue can send
75 cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019.
Many of the changes that
we attribute to aging are real-
ly associated With diseases
This may be true in as many
as one out of five people who
middle-aged or older people
that is confused with aging is
depression. These people may
withdraw and may function
below par because of the
depression. It is important to
recognize this problem since
it usually can be helped. That
is one reason why a psychia-
trist should be one of a team
of physicians who examine
people thought to have mental
changes associated with
aging.
There are also a number of
things people can do to help
prevent changes of the mind
with aging. This includes such
things as memory training
which I’ve discussed in The
Health Letter which I’m send-
ing you. I hope this issue will
at least describe for you the
spectrum of changes that your
wife and you may have to
cope with.
I’m not sure how much you
can expect to gain by using
measures to keep her involved
and to help her retain her
memory as much as possible,
but at least it’s worth a try.
I’m certain that in the
course of time the underlying
cause of Alzheimer's disease
will be discovered. At that
time perhaps some meaning-
ful measures will be available
either for arresting the pro-
cess or preventing it in the
first place.
