Dear Ann Landers,
was married in 1955. It's been four years, and I want a family. The problem is my husband. Before you jump to con-clusions, let me assure you he's a perfect specimen of manhood. He feels it would be an injustice to bring children into this crazy world. He reads everything available on nuclear warfare. I'm practically an authority on radioactivity myself. Some of the articles make me won-der if I'll get out of bed in the morning. I admit he has a point, but I hate to think of going through life with-out a family. Is it wrong to bring children into a world equipped with weapons of total destruction? What are your views? -Woman on the Beach

Dear Woman,
Life is for the living. Since the beginning of time, every age has been a dangerous one. Today, we are concerned with nu-clear warfare. Fifty years ago, they worried about the mortality rate of infants and mothers. Beware the merchants of doom and gloom. They've been peddling their wares for centuries. Mustard gas was a terrifying weapon in World War I, but that didn't stop your grandmother, did it? I suspect hubby is using the atomic age as an excuse. He's immature and afraid to face the responsibilities of fatherhood. Make it plain you don't buy his theory. And instead of scaring your-selves to death with tracts on the horrors of war, visit friends who have loving, healthy children. Perhaps this will open your husband's eyes to his selfish, shortsighted, sick approach to life.
