Dear Ann Landers Mother Says Ann's Column Harms Boy By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: P.T.A. groups work very hard to get horror books off the market and to keep our newspapers from printing smut. How does it happen that your column appears all over? Frankly, I don't know how you get away with it. Our nine-year-old reads the paper every day. He never misses your column. It makes me sick when I see this innocent young child, reading about trashy incidents which are not considered acceptable in our society. In my opinion, such things should not be mentioned publicly. My son has plenty of time, Mrs. Landers, to learn about the rotten side of life. I consider your column a damaging influence on young people and I'm taking this opportunity to tell you so. Sin cerely, MRS. S.W. Dear Mrs. S.W.: Thank you for your letter. I agree that P.T.A. groups perform a valuable service. I support them wholeheartedly. And they support me. I've addressed many P.T.A. audiences as well as school as semblies. Apparently they don't consider my column damaging to young people. This column Is fit for anyone who can read. If the material Is beyond a child's comprehension It will make no Impression. If he DOES understand, he'll get an honest picture of life. Not Only will he became alerted to life's fish-hooks and booby-traps, but he'll learn about the high price of low morals and perhaps profit by the mistakes of others. You can't insulate your son against life, Mother. A child .kept under cellophane and fed fairy tales is in for a shattering blow when reality hits him. This world Is neither a garden of roses nor Is It a garbage dump. If a child is reared in an atmosphere where love and morality are the supporting pillars, this column will not ruin his life I promise you. Sincerely, ANN LANDERS. Dear Ann: I'm a respectable girl of 18. My boy friend and I have been going steady for seven months. We are crazy about each other. He comes over every evening after supper and we do our' homework together. I have three bratty little sisters who make perfect pests of themselves. They hang around and ask dumb questions and humil iate me to death. I decided the only way to get any privacy when my boy friend comes over is to take him into the bedroom and lock the door. Otherwise we'd never get any studying done. Last night my father blew his top over this. My mother stuck up for me and said Dad was evil-minded and that he should put more trust in me. Dad insists we are both out of our minds. He says this is one for Ann Landers, so we've agreed to let you settle it. Will you? BETSY BOO. Mother may be on your side, but I'm with dad. A bedroom Is not the proper setting la which to do homework with a boy - friend. And you shouldn't be together every night under any circumstances. It's your parents' responsibility to control the "bratty" sisters and teach them simple manners. You should not find It necessary to lock yourself In a room for privacy. When THIS problem is solved, the other will no longer exist. CONFIDENTIALLY: HURT GERT: Leave this heel alone. In addition to being tight as a drum he sounds like a guy with the personality of a dental drill. . (Copyright 1938, Held Xnterpriies, Inc.)
