Housewife angry

VANCOUVER (CP) — For
most of the 40 years Phyllis
and Quintin Forsythe have
been married, Phyllis was a
“simple little housewife,” and
Quintin was a “decent, hon-
orable, . outgoing, stable
man,"

But now when she is with
her husband, “it's hard to be-
lieve the feeling of horror
that comes over me.”

Now he lives in a chronic
care home, his mind gone be-
cause of Alzheimer's disease,
the major cause of senile
dementia,

The incurable disease has
changed Mrs, Forsythe into
an angry, articulate crusader
for the forgotten 34,000 Brit-
ish Columbians who suffer
the deadly ‘illness,

“I will do anything I'can to
make that road easier for
anyone who. follows me —
anything.

Alzheimer's disease is not
an inevitable part of aging. It
can strike people in their 50s
and even their 40s, but it is
more likely to strike as age
increases,

As a killer, the disease
stands only behind heart. at-
tack, cancer. and stroke, but
death comes after a deter-

. loration in brain and body

functions that goes on for two

to 14 years,

Mr. Forsythe, a pharma-
cist in the East Kootenay,
began to lose his eyesight in
1968. His eyes were fine but

because his food trays would
be taken away if he did not
eat anything. But he could
not comprehend that the tray
was there.

In the year since she
helped found the’ Alzheimer
Support ‘Association of B.C.,
Mrs. Forsythe has pressed
for wider knowledge of the
disease, which she hopes will
lead to more research money
and the. building of an Al-
zheimer centre. specifically
geared for care of victims of
the disease, which is named
after its discovered, German
physician Alois Alzheimer,

Arthur Dalton,.a Toronto
neuropsychologist who is
president ofthe Canadian
Alzheimer Society, said three
possible causes of the dis-
ease are being probed.

The first relates to the ele-

Toronto.
Our. mind goes back

through the years we've’

known her, my wife's asso-
elation with her family since
school days and their com-
panionship in church-related
activity. Winnie had worked
as a‘stenographer and ab-
sorbed all the Christian edu-
cation she could.

Well trained, she had of-
fered herself for the mission
field in Africa. We remember
how she had been rejected by
reason of her health and how
she carried on working until
she was over 40 and how she
resolved to apply again for
the mission field because —

She had been accepted the
