Dread Dear Ann Landers: I'm get- ting tired of reading letters from wives who are dreading the day when their husbands retire. The last woman who wrote said she would go out of her mind if her husband sat around the house all day like the retired husbands of her friends. How come she didn't go out of her mind all those years when she was playing bridge and her husband was breaking his back to pay her bills? Now that he has earned his day of rest he is not welcome in his own home. When my husband retired we really began to live. We went fishing together, took motor trips, we gardened, built bird- houses and just enjoyed each other's company.

Feminine CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Earlier in this column, I told you about some students of various colleges and univer- sities in the U.S. volunteering their services to be tutors of children in culturally deprived areas. Recently Sargent Shriver, di- rector of the office of economic opportunity, warned that the present elementary school sys- tem is "critically inadequate to meet the needs of children of poverty."" Among other things, he urged the educationists across the country to establish a program in which students from high school would be tu- tors of elementary grade chil- areas, His proposal aroused my en- thusiasm. It need not involve High School Students Prove Good Tutors For Primariec tionists will quiver a bit with fear that high school students might teach these children in wrong ways. That doesn't worry me. Any youth who has the inner urge to volunteer should do pretty well helping younger children learn to read, spell or cipher or to grow more skillful in such subjects. HEAD START PROGRAM Some high school students also might do very well as vol- unteers in the Head Start pro- gram, with children from 4 to 5, especially at reading to them in small groups. Some months ago I reported a program ini- tiated and developed without federal funds, in Lafayette, Ga., where mothers were enlisted as volunteers to read to very young children in small groups. Why' couldn't some high school stu- ents find half an hour or so a day to read to little children? Indeed, on several occasions in this column I have been sug- gesting to parents of all social and economic levels that, if they might consider employ- ment of any neighbor or high school student to tutor this child. There should be one main objective--to find the person who could win the child's re- gard and wish to co-operate in book learning. I have seen some notable successes in this direc- tion. Furthermore, over a number of years, I have proposed in this | column that teachers in the} primary grades borrow through the school principal some chil- dren of the upper grades to read to these younger children and to help them in any kind of school learning. The idea of having one child} help another is a very old one| and in occasional practice for| many years. It had great vir-| tues in the ungraded one-room appreciable extra cost and would use readily available re- sources which have virtually been untapped. While affording help for the younger children, it would provide useful expe- rience for the helping high school students. Such a program is now oper- ating in a few places. Though the high school volunteers usu- ally have a short period of special training for this work, the assumption is that they will themselves discover useful ways --By Tracy Adrian to help younger children.

The child so helped often felt inferior and his classroom helper superior. : In contrast, when a child is helped by another child several years older he is more ready to welcome this help and the helping child does not feel and act pompous. Not long ago I pointed out a similar phenom- enon when a teacher has her best readers often read aloud to their classmates, when the other children may not all be avid listeners. PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. Our son often bolts his food and hurries off to play. What can I do? .A. Say nothing about his rapid eating. Just let him know that he may not leave the table for, say, 20 minutes. Then he will feel no occasion to hurry at eating.

In youth the muscles of the|tion reaches clear down to the face and throat are round and full. As the years add up, mus- cles atrophy and shrink, unless they are exercised. This holds true for facial muscles. When the skin is not fully supported, wrinkles and lines form. Isometric facial exercises do help to restore the bloom. This is a no - movement exercise technique in which you pit the muscle against the opposition of another muscle, or against an immovable object. The basis for fast-toning is the "'overload"' principle of physiology. Over- load is an increase in intensity over the usual. TONING EXERCISES To tone and firm the cushion of muscle on the jawline, and strengthen throat muscles: Hold head erect and chin level. Place palms of both hands dimple in throat. Place right hand against right side of face. Press sideways jagainst resistance of hand. Re- peat three times, then do the same with the left hand.
