Music lovers let me Tell you. Or. Schrei Bers a dec. So that even though you Don t like classical or hillbilly trash there Are those that do. First of All until the change in air time of the Golden record gallery which Bytheway i found quite enjoyable i had never even heard of the show. This is probably because i was at the office Workin Between 11 and 11 30 . Where were you secondly in defense of trash let me say that Beethoven Bach Brahms Vivaldi Telemann and Purcell to name a few Are composers whose works have been on the circuit for years. I m sure Napoleon washing ton Stalin or Ghandi All world figures never heard of the Teddy bears the Browns or the Kingston Trio. I d be willing Tobet you 10 to one any Day of the week that 100 years fro now our trash will still be listened to. Where will you groups be in a 100 years please note that i did come to the defense of Hill Billy music. I happen not to like it but i do have enough sense to keep my opinions to myself. I also belong in your 20 to 30special age group at least i will until Jan. 10. And then fit s made up of people like you i thank god that i la be 31 handout of it. A. Sgt. Stanley Craig Heidelberg if you Don t like hillbilly music or. Charles a. Schreiber Don t Knock it for other people especially me. I was born and raised on the stuff and it s on Type of music that will never phase out. I like any Type of music an frankly an is doing an out standing Job producing some of the Best All around programs in existence. Bill Collins Wuerzburg Germany letters to the editor excellent the College football game that were selected by arts Washington and aired by of have been excellent this season. Interest is always Centre around the top 10 teams. Since 15 top 10 teams were represented in the 18 games Broad cast this season the football fan could ask for Little More. An s broadcasts of profession Al football games Are also appreciated. Spec. 4 Guthrie said in the dec. 7 is that an sports programming leaves much Tobe perhaps his unfair criticism of an leaves much to be desired. Edward r. Kisslak Zamstein Germany no obligation to buy a there Are a few things that should be noted in reply top flexed Papas letter the school picture businesses a highly competitive and speculative business. It is no True that papa must pay $12 for the four picture pack age. It clearly states on the envelope and on the enclose Price list that there is no obligation to buy. In other words the work the photographer per forms May be completely wasted in Case the Parent should not wish to approximately 100,000 dependent school children i Europe scattered from nor Way to Libya from England to Turkey it is a Little difficult to understand How this could be million Dollar a year opera Tion in profit fact that the largest firm in this business has forthe past seven years sent photographers to the far Flung areas must be noted. This operation is very expensive be cause there is no subsidy or any kind for transport of the photographer and his Bulky equipment. It is being Don with the idea of providing space facts since Apollo 8 circled the Moon and returned to Earth i be done a Little research on the subject of space and this is what i be come up with there Are at least four billion suns in the Milky Way which is Only one Galaxy. Many of these suns Are thousands of time larger than our own and Mil Lions of them have whole planetary systems including literally billions of satellites All this revolves at the rate of about a million Miles a minute like huge Oval Pinwheel. Our Sun and its planets arson the Edge of this wheel and this is Only our Small Corner of the universe. Space is so unbelievably vast that if we reduce the suns planets and the stars in Correct mathematical proportion with relation to the distances Between them each Sun would be Only a speck of dust is much As 100,000 Miles away from its closest neighbor. This is Only the Milky Way our own Small Corner in our own Little Galaxy. There Are billions of galaxies spaced at about seven billion Light years the Range of our big Gest telescopes there Are a least 100 million separate galaxies such As our own milk Way when i think about All this it does t really matter at least As far As i m concerned whether or not Little boys have doors on Public bathrooms. Pee. Craig j. Germany stateside service to people i isolated areas As Well As to assist the Gold flow. The underlying idea was that in response to furnishing such services the larger schools in Germany would be More Likely to utilize this firm s services. Unfortunately this is not Al ways so. Since 1961 the percentage of return to the schools for the local school funds has More than doubled. In this same period the Cost of film and the Cost of processing has had Sev eral major increases. The expense of maintaining trained photographers and paying the extensive travel charges has resulted in a three fold in crease in direct Cost. Because Many parents re Quested reorders and additional pictures and because reorder actually Cost the firm Money picture package contents were increased by 80 per cent in 1967 while the Price was increased23 per cent or from 3.25 to $4. Again no obligation to buy any part of the package May to purchased if studio representatives Are bonded and the company insures the school and the Par ent completely against los through fraud misrepresentation embezzlement Etc. It is a recognized fact that from enrolment to graduation 95 per cent of the photos taken of children Are done in the school. In other words perplexed papa will not take she time to trundle his Brood to the local studio nor will he pay the Price. Having been close to this harried operation of tremendous complexity for the past seven years i am convinced that any one who is in the school photography business for profit is crazy. The photographer must Loo Forward to battling the squeeze Between the increase in Rostand the reluctance of the Mili tary to pay the going stateside prices. He must be ready to travel through Europe s in Friendly weather to obscure and out of the Way installations an try to make the whole Complex operation deliver the comparatively Low Cost photos on time to be sent to the loved one sat Home. Photo serve car Wiesbaden dress regulations i feel a few More comments Are in order on dress regulations at the minuteman Thea Terin Karlsruhe. If people can t attend performances in clean jeans or fatigues and must Wear Slack with sport shirts or other appropriate attire Why Are som few males allowed in with hair Over their ears and sometime Down to their shoulders at almost every movie i see those with Long Greasy hair and scruffy Patchy beards Are i attendance. It seems that consistency slacking. If one s clothes Are to be neat and presentable Why should t the body that occupies them be the same dress regulations Are necessary but these Are inconsistent and Detri mental to Many people. I see nothing wrong with Chil Dren attending movies in jeans nor soldiers in clean d rather sit or stand near someone in jeans than someone with Long Greasy hair. 1st it. Douglas m.
