Editor Herald: Are you ruining your children without knowing it? Many parents make this mistake without knowing they are doing wrong, while some make this mistake without caring. Bear in mind that a child's whole life span depends mostly on his home education. Home teaching is and always will be a child's best lessons for the duration of his future life. must remember that training a child is no different from a dog, or a horse or any animal. In order to be properly trained, they must be trained while young. Too many youngsters are being overly loved and fondled, especially after the minds have been fully developed, and too many are being allowed to disobey. When told to do something the teller should see to it it's done as ordered. If you wish to make a It may well be that Goldwater's greatest battle will be with the liberals of his own party.

Indeed, you addicts would calm down twice as fast if you'd hold a cigaret in each hand and thus smoke two of them simultaneously! In order to break the medically unwise habit of smoking, be sure you try to satisfy that ''muscle hunger." Chew gum, for example, in order to wiggle your jaw for 30 minutes and thereby drain off energy. Or carry a rubber ball and keep squeezing it in the very hand that formerly held your cigaret. Or play with your key chain. Or stretch a rubber band across the back of your hand between your thumb and the little finger. Then try to wiggle the other fingers till you can get the rubber band off. Also, learn the art of gay conversation, plus the strategy of paying compliments to your associates. For the more extroverted socially you excess energy become, the less pent-u- p will be inside.

What he genuinely wants, they insist, is to produce a lasting blend of his small cluster of staff intimates and the seasoned crew of key "Kennedy hold- overs." iJohnson aide: "They've forgotlon more about how the White House operates than we'll know for a long time. The President's chances of forging at least a partial blend, durable enough to carry through most of 1964, seem to be mountiSays one ng- test will not be long in coming. The first possible "shake-ou- t A point" for the Kennedy holdovers will develop no later than mid February. By then the President's budget and his important messages and reports will have been given to Congress and he will have finished his first round of talks with world leaders. Less than two weeks ago a top Kennedy assistant, using anonymity, predicted a sizable exodus of the late President's people by midwinter. Some have argued that their "commitment," more to their fallen leader than to Johnson, would then be fulfilled. That prospect is changing. No more than one or two first-ran- k men if even that many may drop out when the winter crush is over for the President. Kenneth O'Donnell, though less busy than under Kennedy as appointments secretary, soon will be asked to use his talent for political strategy in Johnson's election campaign. A similar bid will go to Lawrence O'Brien, congressional liaison chief, known for his superb organizing skills. The attraction of politics is strong for both. If they accept, as is thought likely, the only issue will be how and when to detach them from present duties. It is not yet clear what lure dan- gle before Theodore Sorensen, Kennedy's special counsel and speech writer, who now has competition from Johnson's own circle in this latter job. Sorensen's abilities are One Johnson friend is sure the young Nebraskan will decide nothing is as challenging as the White House. wide-rangin-g. The late President's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, while not strictly a White House man, was the single most important presidential adviser. He will, of course, play no such role hereafter. But his political capabilities and contacts could be immensely useful. And he himself is said to be to see the civil determined in Congress through rights fight to the end. That could commit him to stay perhaps until mid-Jul- y if not beyond. What is now pulling at many Kennedy men in the White House is the notion that fair commitment ought to run at least, until Johnson has the opportunity to win election in his own right. This could mean, for some, helping in the campaign; for others, bolstering the President's whole effort right down to Nov. 3. Even if most f the old crew hangs in there for these and other reasons, they might still cut out in 1965 (assuming Johnson's election). Yet the President's assistants evidently think that, given the 10 months ahead, he can devise more permanent uses for these men he admires and says convincingly he needs. Already well warped into his orbit, are "cGeorge Bundy, foreign policy aide; Myer Feld-maexpert on legislation; Lee White, civil rights specialist. "Blending in" the others, however, may depend on Johnson offering them a more promising outlook than some now foresee. The mixture he seeks of personalities, capacities and loyalties is hard to come by. n, Barbs During hunting season a gun should be loaded with caution and a hunter not at all.

Launching of Saturn I, the first complete version of this gigantic missile, slated for last month, has been rescheduled for February. President Johnson plans to fly to Cape Kennedy for the event. In doing that, he will fulfill a promise by his predecessor. Kennedy visited the Florida missile center shortly before his assassination, he was so impressed by the stupendous Saturn I that he said he would return to witness its launching. "That will be a historic event I just can't miss," he enthused. "I'll be back, and I'll bring as many members of the congressional space committees as I When can round up." It's Johnson's desire to fulfill his predecessor's commitment. The Saturn I experment will cost an estimated $5 million. The Doctor Says "Winter Itch7 Victims-Ke- ep Bath Water Cool By WAYNE G.

A No foods are constipating, but such foods as sugar, cheese and butter leave no residue and therefore no not help to move your bowels.
