Page 4 Daily Sllka Sentinel, Alaska Wednesday, August 7, 1974 LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I am'a girl, 16, who hasn't too many things to complain about compared with some of the letters I read In your column. One little thing does bother me a lot and I'd like ynur opinion. My best friend hangs around with me because she is nulty about my brother. She has told me several times thai she's really crazy about Rex and asks a zillion questions about what goes on in his life. I don't want to lose her friendship, but I hate being used.

What do you think I should in Canada Dear Am: If al! girls who hung around certain friends because they were nutty about their brothers were lined up, they'd reach from Toronto to Quebec City. This Is the oldest story In the world, and usually the brother Is on to it. Such girls are viewed as pests if they hang around too much. Most brothers would a chase than be chased. Dear Ann Landers: How do you tell an eight-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl that their mother doesn't want My son is being divorced by a selfish slob.

She became interested in her boss, who has a great deal of money. He is old enough to be her father and the whole thing is a disgrace. She says, "Children make him nervous," so she wants to leave her son and daughter with my son. According to her, it would be better for all concerned. Of course, when she says she wants him to take the kids she really means ME because they live upslairs in my duplex and I am the one who will have the responsibility.

Back to my original question: How does a father tell his young children that their mother doesn't want Grandmother Dear Grandmother: These two youngsters arc going to feel plenty rejected without being told a their mother doesn't want them. I hope you and your son will do everything in your power to protect the children by explaining that their mother chose not to stay married to their father and they arc not with her because she couldn't I like them. Keep in mind, loo. that the day may come when their mother might gut her head together and want to have a relationship with her children. If you muddy the waters now, it will create a permanent roadblock for the future (his would be very sad for the children.

Can drugs be a friend in time of stress? If you keep your head together can they be of help? Ann Landers' new booklet, "Straight Dope on Drugs," separates the fact from the fiction. Get it today. For each booklet ordered, send a dollar bill, plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope, (20c postage) to Ann Landers, P.O. Box 334fi. Chicago, 111.
