BOTTLI SUCARYL 77c PEPTO-BISMOL 88c THE hwnfsr!frfl 1 CORNER JACKSONVILLE HI WAY AND LOZIER LANE Mrs. A. R. - This is about my brother, a man of 75. For the past ten years he's led a dignified life as a sensible widower. Now he must have become suddenly senile or be In his second childhood, be cause he's behaving like a clown. He goes around with a 25- year-old girl who's already had him dancing at one of those public ballrooms. Imag ine the embarrassment of my children and grandchildren to have one of their friends meet Sol there. Now he talks of going Ice-skating with this athlete. Believe me, there's no fool like an old fool be cause she Isn't even pretty. And what does he think she sees in him? It can't be his baby blue eyes that hanut her. She probably sees only an old codger with money to spend on her If she kids him long long enough. Mr. 3. C. - It's my life and frankly I'm out to make the most of what's left of it. This young lady has made me sud denly realize that I'm not on the shelf yet. I don't always have to sit on the sidelines and look at the "young peo ple" having fun. I'm flattered that my rlew friend considers me good company and helps me participate in activities she enjoys herself. As for my sister and her family, what did they ever do to lift the heaviness In my heart all these years? I was Just "Old Uncle Sol" to them. I began to believe I'd never be anything else until I no ticed this young girl in the park. Every day she takes a hike around the lake. When I saw that her pace was the same as mine, I asked whether she'd mind It I hiked along with her. She agreed. Since then we ve been discovering new joys together every day. . Tha Council) There's life in the old boy yet, Mrs. R., let the chips - and the chippies - fall where they may. Back in Biblical days, according to the First Book of Kings that was one of the approved tests of vitality - bringing on your damsels and watching what happened to the "old and tricken in years. When King David, for example, failed to perk up at the sight of Abl- shag, the beautiful Shunamlte, his followers knew it was time to name a new king and prepare for the early passing of this moribund one. The combo of the septua genarian and the chorine has provided jokes, gossip, and raised eyebrows from time Im memorial. Usually the as sumption is that he's an old fool and she's a conniving tootsle. But once In a while more wholesome interpreta tions of this attraction are ventured. For the girl it's called a "father complex" or. t the other end, a "maternal urge." When marriage ensues, she may praise his mellow ness, tolerance, patience -qualities which she couldn't find In men her own age. But marriage hasn't become an issue here. (If it should, we'd say No, as a general comment. The age disparity Is too great.) This is a go-together for a well - preserved, healthy senior citizen and a young female who is consider ate enough to slow up and let him fall In line without being obvious about it. What a zoom for his ego. Let them be, Mrs. R. Even if there's nothing more In it for the girl than free tickets to fascinating places, she's offering your brother a fling he's ripe for. But there's probably more In it for her. Mr. C. has no illusions. He may well be the means whereby she meets the husband she'll settle down with. At one of the centers Mr. C. escorts her to, she can meet a poor young clerk - or a rich one - and the current jaunts will "pay off" in extra measure. As for Mr. C, his zest re minds us of the man whose doctor told him to quit tennis when he reached his 70s. "I did." he said. "But I could hardly wait for my 80s to play again." MORG BEEF Chicago - (Un - Farmers are getting eight per cent more aleaka and beef roasts ready for the nation' tables this fall than last, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture's quarterly re port of cattle and calves on feed.
