Dear Ann Landers,
boy in my class died a week ago. It was not a natural death. It was an accident that shouldn't have happened. It oc-curred during lunch hour in the park across from our high school. "Jason" had been at a friend's house. They were sniffing glue or lighter fluid, maybe both. On the way back to school, Jason kept black-ing out. Finally, he fell and never got up. By the time we were able to get him to the hospital, it was too late. I'm writing this letter to warn everyone who reads your column that sniffing anything from an aerosol can, correction fluid or any kind of solvent can produce brain damage or death. If Jason had known how dangerous sniffing is, he never would have done it. I just hope that all his schoolmates who attended the funeral learned a lesson. As that dear, sweet boy lay in the satin-lined casket, he looked so innocent. I know he had no idea of what he was messing around with. It seems such a shame that a young person should have to die to make people realize how dangerous drugs can be. Please print this let-ter as a warning to others. -We'll Miss Him, Cleveland

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, aged thirty, and have a good husband and three fine children. We are upper- middle-class folks who live in an upper-middle-class neighbor-hood and have upper-middle-class friends. When I’m in the house alone in the morning, after the children go off to school 73 and my husband leaves for work, I like to do my housework with no clothes on. Yes, you read correctly-with no clothes on. I pull the shades and draw the draperies. No one can possibly see me. Last week I confided this to a friend and she said I must be off my rocker-that there is something immoral or sick, or both, about a person who would walk around the house nude. I don’t know why I do it; all I know is I enjoy it. Is it bad manners? Is it immoral?-Lady Godiva
