LOUISE BATES AMES Gesell Institute DEAR DOCTOR AMES: Please give your opinion on giving a nine-month-old baby beer. The baby's father claims it's good for him, and feeds him a half glass at a time, often several times a day. He claims it's full of protein. And he doesn't want his baby to grow up to be a sissy; 3 from the chandelier, the wall lamps and the table settings. Predominantly gold, the Myers dining room sparkles with reflections ever, the fact that your son is having so much trouble is your clue to go down to school and talk with the teacher, and with the principal if need be, and find out, If you can, just what this is all about.

Alec may be one of the many who would do best with at least one day a week off from school. Since he "repeated" nursery school, theoretically he should be old enough for kindergarten, but obviously something just isn't right. Japanese Garden Awaits Visitors On Park Home Tour Continued from Page 19 Myers' grandfather who brought them from France. Royal Copenhagen plates are in an alcove collection in the hall, these too gleaned from excursions. A "French polyglot" is what Mrs.

Myers calls her quiet living room, where a contemporary painting by Walter Thrift provides David Cargo, wife of New Mexico's youthful governor, chatted with Mrs. Agnew at the Kentucky chicken supper following the race. Mrs. Whitcomb wore a white coat over navy dress navy shoes and MRS. AGNEW IS SLIMMER Mrs.

Agnew, much slimmer than during the campaign, wore a size 10 navy suit with red, white, and blue scarf. The vice-president's wife said that she came to Kentucky 27 years ego as a bride of a young army lieutenant, and that they lived in a two-room garage apartment at Fort Knox during World War II. A secret service man stayed constantly at Mrs. Agnew's side while the vice president shook hands with admirers who called "We think you're great" and "We like you better every day." Auburn haired Mrs. Jack Williams, wife of the governor of Arizona, in beige pantsuit, bubbled with enthusiasm and kissed the vice-president as she greeted him.

MRS. REAGAN ATTRACTS CROWDS Nancy Reagan, regal wife of California's governor, attracted a crowd wherever she moved. She wore an off white wool coat and sheath dress with cream shoes and bag. The Reagans are house-guests of the Whitneys. Mrs.

Richard Ogilbie, wife of the governor of Illinois, in pale blue wool, said that she never had bet on a race and would have to do so with her eyes closed if she ever tried. Gov. and Mrs. James Rhodes of Ohio arrived late for the race. He was escorted across the Brazilian sand track by a special page.

The five Whitcomb children will come to Lexington tomorrow for the state dinner and the Kentucky Derby breakfast. President and Mrs. Richard Nixon and the governors and guests will attend the Kentucky Derby grass certificate which conferred on them the honor of red carpet. Accompanying the Whitcombs were Buena Chancy, Indiana state Republican chairman; Dr. James Kessler, assistant to the governor; Mr.

and Mrs. Ed. Kane and Al Nardine of the governor's staff. They are guest3 at the Campbell House, and directly across the street at the Imperial House are Vice-President and Mrs. Spiro Ag-new.

Gov. Louis B. Nunn and Mrs. Nunn of Kentucky greeted the Whitcomb party at the hotel and welcomed them to their rooms where brilliant colored flowers, fruit and old-fashioned Kentucky hospitality awaited the Hoosiers. GOVERNORS VISIT TRACK One of the most popular parties was the governor's match race last night at Keeneland.

The 252 acre horse racing park is in the heart of the blue grass country. A special event was the inning of the 4.5 furlong match for 2-year-olds. George Sallee in brilliant red coat heralded the race with his post horn. Gov. Whitcomb followed Gov.

Ronald Reagan of California and Vice-President Agnew in the parade of governors to the infield. Jockies came from Churchill Downs. The governors were presented a thoroughbred chestnut colt valued at $70,000 by the Thoroughbred Breeders of Kentucky. The colt is a son of Chateau Gay, with both the Derby and Belmont Stakes among his 11 victories. Breaking and training expenses will be borne by members of the Thoroughbred Breeders, and the governors will be advised of progress of the colt throughout his training and racing career.

Profits will go to a foundation for equine re-, search. Mrs. Whitcomb and Mrs. WORRIED GRAND-i: MOTHER" DEAR WORRIED: I'm afraid this baby is going to have to put up with more than beer, before he gets through, if his father is already so worried about his growing up to be a sissy. Hopefully he may turn out to be a highly masculine and extremely athletic little fel-low.

If not, he's really in for J- trouble As for the beer itself, it's not only silly, but it's not a good idea, at least so my pediatrician friends tell me. Can't somebody get this father a dog and let him train i that, and leave the baby to its mother? I don't know how to stop your son-in-law from feeding the baby beer, but I am against it. I- DEAR DOCTOR AMES: "My youngest son is a very I' dear little 5V2 -year-old who, since I had him 'repeat' the 4-year-old group in nursery 'j- school, just started kindergarten this fall. Alec has never been a -problem, in fact he is a pleasure, and he will turn himself inside out to please. But something about school seems to be wrong for him as he fusses and cries and begs to stay home.

i I finally discovered that, when the children are naughty, his particular teacher makes them wear baby bonnets. Do you think the teacher is right to discipline the children in this way?" NO, I DON'T approve of humiliating small children by making them wear baby bonnets or in any other way Admittedly the whole thing gets pretty exasperating for a teacher sometimes, but this isn't a good solution. How DEAR DR. AMES: My husband and I are in strong disagreement about our son's camp plans, if any. Sammy, on your advice, repeated second grade after two miserable years in school.

Repeating, as you promised, brought wonderful improvement in his school behavior and it seems as if he has almost forgotten those dreadful two years and the 'enemies' he thinks he made at that time. Now he wants to go to a sleep-away camp (he's 8') which his older brother attended. The trouble is, quite a few of his former, hated classmates will be there. I think he's got to face them some time and he should go. My husband thinks it would be too much for him." MY VOTE IS with your husband.

Facing these boys, if and when he must, should ideally come when he's on home ground. The first time at sleep-away camp, though most boys love it, can be a tremendous strain and unhap-piness for a sensitive immature child. Add the fact thit a substantial number of h's campmates may be these boys he thinks he doesn't like and I think it would be too much. arranged in disciplined rows edged with English Ivy. Anticipating the tour.

Mrs." Myers converted a distant garden, once a wading pool with rambling trees and shrubs, into a pristine Japanese garden. "The garden really started with a trip to the Orient two years ago," Mrs. Myers reveals. "We were all inspired. I have Mr.

and Mrs. Warren Earle to thank for helping me with this one." Also at hand were two volumes of Japanese garden architecture to assure authentic detailing. The Earles' contribution is a perfectly proportioned Torrii, the clasaic Oriental temDle eatcwav. It stands, at the garden's edge to lure the eye br yond. The IVisai Cmb of Indianapolis also has helped prepare for the tour by clipping and trimming the collection of Mrs.

My rs' Bonsai trees. Of special interest is a Scotch pine Bonsai, loaned for the event by Mrs. George Oliver. The Myers home is on the daylight tour from noon to 6 p.m. The candlelight tour is from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

An art exhibit will be at the school for tour patrons. Tickets may be purchased at the Alpine Haus at Glendale, from members of, the Park School Mothers Club or at any of the homes on the days of the tour. i 'I 4 i -IX-HH III' MWI 'l Lm By MARGARET MOORE Staff Reporter LEXINGTON, Ky. Gov. and Mrs.
