Dear Ann Landers,
oday's column was the last straw. Another let-ter about sex. And kinky sex, at that. I have four teenagers who fight for your part of the paper. I just die when you print such garbage and it gets worse every day. I am a mature, broad-minded per-son, but enough is enough. Like the woman whose husband wanted her to THE ANN LANDERS ENCYCLOPEDIA 1079 wear black nylon stockings and a garter belt to bed. My kids just roared. Today the 14-year-old daughter had a sore throat and we were afraid she might develop rheumatic fever. She didn't have the slightest idea what rheumatic fever was, but she knows all about VD-thanks to Ann Landers. Cool it, will you please? A MOTHER WHO LOVES HER KIDS
DEAR MOTHER,
I love your kids, too, and that's why I'm trying to ac-quaint them with the real world which includes black nylons and garter belts. A teenager's chance for getting VD today is at least 100 times better than getting rheumatic fever. You should be grateful that somebody is doing your job-and that somebody is me. There is no need to hide my column from the kids, Mother. If the subject matter is beyond a child's ken, it will have no meaning. If he understands, all the better. Ignorance is dangerous. Information can help kids stay out of trouble. THOSE CRAZY AMERICANS
