Dear Ann Landers,
our years ago, I had to discipline my son. From that came a lengthy discussion about our father-son relationship. When the boy told me he did not feel I always treated him Fairly, I asked him to sit down and write out what he thought were the most important attributes of a good father. To my surprise, he was gone less than 10 minutes and returned with this list. Over the past four years, I have looked it over several times and felt that for a lad in the 10th grade, he showed a great deal of insight. I'm sending it to you, Ann, because I now realize that it was the turning point in our relationship. If you think it may have value for others, please feel free to run it in your column.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, but not in the same way it has helped most other people. I came from a foreign country and learned how to read English from your articles. Your true-to-life writing is easy to follow. You don’t use big words like many other writers. I hope you will accept a suggestion from me because I see the world through the eyes of a newcomer. I happen to know your column appears in many foreign cities because I have seen it in my travels to Tokyo, Bang-kok, Hong Kong, Mexico City and Caracas. Would you please not publish letters about teen-age girls getting with child, married women who have love affairs with the boss, husbands who ask their wives to wear black stockings to bed and other things that make Americans look immoral and crazy? Thank you very much. YOUR GOOD FRIEND
