HEARING AID GIVES GRANDPA UPPER HAND Grandpa Groggs, wealthy and quite hard of hearing, de- cided at last to get one of those "new-fangled" hearing aids. Two weeks later he stopped in at the store where he had bought the device and reported to the delighted manager that he could hear conversation quite easily now --even in the next room.
