Doctor, Fd Like To Know—
MT FATHER is 78 years old is as stubborn as a billygoat He seems to forget everything that is told to him within minutes after hearing it. He also seems to want a great deal ef attention. Is this what is called "second childhood?” Mr, N. N., Tennessee Dear Mr. N.: An injustice is done to the elderly when their H behavior is compared to that of
children.
The problems and the atti- _ tudes of the eldOr. Coleman erly are many, and sometimes exhaust the patience of those with whom they live. An understanding of the reason for their forgetfulness will perhaps arouse sympathy rather than tnitability. Many of the elderly develop arteriosclerosis and narrowing of the blood vessels of the entire body. Blood supply to the brain Is sometimes diminished ftqr these changes in the blood wessels. When this occurs, a %ery characteristic memory pattom ■sons to follow. They have <aa exceedingly short memory \for recent events, suggestions and instructions. Strangely, they have a remarkable memory for the minutest details of •vents that occurred in the far distant past. The seed for attention usually •eflects a desire to be an active participant in all household activities. Too often the elderly are displaced from their jobs and obligations after a long life of productivity and respon-
aJMity.
After the age of 78, perhaps your father has a right to be Indulged with his “billygoat stubbornness"

My family has been urging
me to have an ear operation for deafness. I do not want to see an ear doctor without discussing it with my family doctor, to whom we owe a great deal of .gratitude. I think ho would be displeased if I consulted an ear doctor first, before telling him about it. Aro these operations successful? I am 58 years old and one of three sisters with similar deaf-
ness.
Mrs. R. A. H., Ottawa Dear Mrs. H.: All patients have a right to seek an additional opinion about any problem that concerns them. Doctors everywhere unhesitatingly suggest that patients be given the benefit of a specialist’s advice if and when necessary. The loyalty you have for your family doctor is characteristic of the bond of strength built on years of devotion between doctor and patient. This is too valuable a possession to be jeopardized by denying your doctor the courtesy of discussing with him such an important decision. The family history of deafness may suggest the possibility that the condition is otosclerosis. Deafness caused hy otosclerosis has, in the past ten years, been remarkably benefited by the Stapes operation. The percentage of success for the return of serviceable hearing is exceedingly high in carefully chosen cases of otoscle-
rosis.
The combined thinking of your family physician and the ear specialist will determine the diagnosis and the best course to pursue. Whxlo Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he will use readers' questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman *» care of this newspaper.

TV CAMEOS: Walter Brennan Topping a Career Studded With Oscars By MEL HEIMER A NY performer who ever has been caught up in the hurricane’s eye of a weekly television series — the eight-to-six hours five days a week, with overtime now and then, and the madhouse continuing each seven days after seven days—knows how it can wring you out. Any performer, that is, except Walter Brennan, who is 70 and has a hundred movies and 250 TV shows behind him. "I can’t wait to get to work on Monday,” Walter said the other day in his hotel suite on a visit to Manhattan. "Truthfully, I can’t remember that I’m 70 because I haven’t got time. For that matter, the only time I ever felt old was when I turned 50. Ever since then, I've felt better every year.” ABC, which has been cornering this season’s ratings, also cornered Brennan for 1964-65; he’s the star of “The Tycoon,” in which he plays the chairman of the board of the Thunder Corp., a man somewhat removed from Walter’s celebrated TV role of Amos McCoy.
THE ROAD that led Brennan to "Tycoon” has been a 44-year one, studded with three Academy Awards, and along the way he picked up a wife (whom, defying Hollywood, he has kept all these years), three children, 14 grandchildren, a home in Moore Park outside of Los Angeles, a 200-acre ranch in eastern Oregon and, to top it off, another ranch of 18,000 acres. “I don’t even think much about pictures any more,” said the man who in the long ago used to make the extra rounds with a Montana cowboy named Gary Cooper. “TV keeps me hopping. In fact, you work so hard in it that when I went down to Kentucky a couple of years ago for the movie 'How the West Was Won,’ it was like a vacation. I sat around for two weeks without doing a scene, just like in the old days — and even though it was relaxing, I really think I prefer the television ratrace. “I’ll say this about TV. You’ve got to know your business. You don’t have time to go over and over your mistakes.” One of the fuxmiest, most delightful items in Hollywood is a “happy” shooting set, in which the crew and actors get along
In a role he fits to perfection, Waltor Brennan, with Van Williams, Jerome Cowan, (above) brightens ABC-TV’s series, “The Tycoon."
—and Brennan says “Tycoon” is THE happiest. “Of course,” he grinned, "we insult each other constantly. Mark Evans, an Englishman who’s assistant director, will shout out, ‘Alright, places everybody!’ and I’m apt to yell back, ‘Ah shut up. you bloody Limey!’ ” A co-conspirator in the fun and games is 67-year-old Jerome Cowan; he and Brennan could qualify as the practical jokesters of the year. A master dialectician—he and Fred Astair have argued over who imitates Sam Goldwyn best, with Laurence Oliver a close third—Brennan was born in Lynn, Mass., his family tree going back to colonial times. He played football at Rindge Tech in Cambridge, served nearly three years as an artilleryman in France—"I made corporal before I got out”—and has an honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts from Morris Harvey College in Charleston, W. Va. In “The Tycoon,” he plays Walter Andrews, the board

chairman (producer Charley Isaacs named the man after Brennan, whose real name is Walter Andrew Brennan)—who is almost totally different than the patriarch of ‘‘The Real McCoys.” "The two men,” Brennan explains, “ are alike only in their basic honesty. Their backgrounds, home life and approach to daily problems are as different as horse-drawn buggies and automobiles. Jerry Cowan, in the series, is determined to retire me as chairman because I’m too old — but it always seems the company is getting into a jam and they have to call on the old coot to get it out of trouble.” "Age?” Walter said, musing. “I think it’s all in your head. We all know people who are dead, for all practical purposes, when they’re 35—while others can be 80 and still as vital and interested as anybody. Of course”—he grinned—“I guess there are some who shouldn’t have started at all.”

Tape For Quick Identity
t.— a,. .. ... .
Experienced air travelers have discovered a simple way to avoid those prolonged delays while searching for their luggage at crowded airport baggage rooms. They color-code their luggage
with plastic coated colored
cloth tape. Strips of colored plastic tape on the top and sides of suitcases, attache cases, garment bags, and other travel paraphernalia can quickly identify your belongings when the trip is over. It saves mixups, too, because so many pieces of travel gear look alike. Mystik Tape offers plastic coated colored cloth tape in 14 colors, so you can choose the right shade to code your luggage. It’s a good idea to be able to identify your luggage quickly anyplace—hotel lobbies, train terminals, and bus depots. Around the house, a homemaker can color code kitchen canister sets for quick identiAcation, a big help when she’s
busy and pressed for time as a hungry family and guests surround her. She can also color key family napkin rings and personalize place mats with
bright monograms.
The men of the home will find colored cloth tape ideal for identifying sports equipment, tools in the basement workshop, and for labeling storage cabi-
nets and drawers.
Colored cloth tape is useful for all kinds of color-coding jobs around the home, in the office and at school. It decorates and repairs at the same tim* because it’s tough, long-wear-ing plastic coated tape that io inexpensive, comes in 14 colors and is available practicsll/
everywhere.
