Dear Ann Landers,
as it ever occurred to you that your advice may be getting a little moth-eaten? You ought to re-examine your antiquated approach to alcohol and tone down your insistent lectures on the "evils" of drinking. Recent developments are making you look pretty stupid, Ann. Just a few weeks ago, I read that a Harvard professor who is an au-thority on alcoholism believes that children should be taught to drink liquor at an early age. He claims that if children grow up to accept liquor as just another ordinary beverage and not a devil in a bottle, they will attach no special significance to liquor and their chances for developing an unhealthy craving for it will be greatly reduced. I agree with the professor that the reason there are so many alco-holics around is because liquor was forbidden to them and they never learned how to handle it properly. I hope you will be big enough to print this letter and your answer. If you can think of one. -The New Look at Life

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, but some couples, believe it or not, don’t want children and we are among them. My husband and I have enjoyed forty grand years together. The notion that children are a comfort to parents in their sunset years is horse feathers. We have many friends who are in financial straitjackets because of their chil-dren. My sister and her husband were never able to go to Europe or buy a new car because their children have been on their backs all their lives. My brother’s wife passed away last October, and their four children have been fighting ever since about who should take the old man in. The truth is, nobody wants him. Whenever we spend an evening with our relatives, we go home and congratulate each other.-Just Us And Glad Of It
