This is especially true nf young children and of elderly peopled To get the best coopera tion from an elderly person, you must treat that person much as you would treat a child. A woman with such a problem writes: . (O) "My mother is living with me. She is 64 'years old and young for her years. However, she refuses to recognize the fact , that she cannot do what sheSrHeTent: did. If I tell her not to do something, sho in Tar iably does it. She If 'HWii i iii " always lell- i Dr. Huxlock ' ing .me that I am too bossy and that she is old enough to know what she wants to do without being told by mn or . anyone else. My husband seems to be able to handle her better than anyone else. He likes to kid her and she loves it. Then she will eat out of his hand like a tame puppy. I have tried to use his tactics, but with little success. How can I handle her & . . No Refunds ' No Exchanges All Sales FINAL By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. for her own good?" ' (A) You might try a modified form of your husband's . "kid ding" technique andc see how you get along with it. You must remember, however, that your husband is a ' man and many older women will do things for a man they won't do for a wom an. Then, too, your husband is an in-law, not your mother's child. She has always been the one to tell you what to do, not the re verse. That is why she resents your trying to "boss" her, as she puts it. She has never been in a position to tell your husband what to do, consequently her association with" him is differ- In dealing with older people, treat them much as you treat a child. Try to sell them the idea that they are the ones who thought up the suggestion you gave them. You must use subtle salesmanship to win your point. Never make an issue of what they should not do or you will make them, stubborn and resent ful. Merely divert their atten tion to what you want them to do and paint it in such glowing colors that they will decide it is the very thing they most want and will insist upon doing it.

Procedures for tightening hnve not been decided yet. One possibility is a requirement that the uranium . companies gives more financial information about themselves, and their promoters when they offer stock for sale. Any new regulations would apply equally to all the small enterprises which now enjoy cer tain privileges of exemption from the SEC's regular require ments for registration of secur ities issues. Uranium stocks, manj of which sell for as little as a penny a share, account for about one-fourth of the dollar value of stock issues covered by special regulations. SEC Chairman Ralph H. Demmler sounded a warning about uranium stocks at a news conference at Salt Lake City, Utah, a major center of financial aciivity in the booming uranium business. He indicated a current SEC study of the situation prob ably will result in tighter re quirements. Demmler also sounded a word of caution in re cent testimony before the Sen ate Banking Committee. The commission has been giv ing special attention to the uranium securities situation for almost a year, because of its particularly speculative nature.
