It was first Day of Captivity for americans in Tehran. Americans just like you and me. Americans with a Job to like you and me. I Don t know any of them and they Don t know me. They Are like thousands of other americans All Over world in far off places diplomats on a Mission of peace. They did not have Benefit of thousands of Friendly troops around them like you and me. They depended on integrity and Honor of nation of Iran to protect them. Now integrity and Honor is gone. Now americans Are prisoners of so called students who Are nothing More than terrorists. I like to consider myself a Patriot because i joined army to defend my country. I know that there Are millions of other americans who feel same Way. The majority of american prisoners in Iran Are not Mili tary personnel but civilians working for . In Best Way they can. In my Opin Ion they Are very Brave patriots. Nation As Well As All americans throughout world. A daring attempt was made to secure Freedom for prisoners. Due to unforeseeable circumstances attempt did not succeed. Eight More american servicemen gave their lives and have gone Home forever he roes in eyes of their Homeland. Their comrades must also be recognized As he roes. They were Alt volunteers they did not have to go but they did As thousands of others would have Given Choice. I cannot say that 1 agree with Way situation has been handled totally. Then again i am not in a position to say that i would have or will handle it any belter. I believe our leaders arc doing Best that they can to keep this from developing into something that would cause much More bloodshed. It is our right to express our opinion but still we cannot say that we could do a better Job. Our leaders Are our Leaden because we put them in that position. The american prisoners in Iran deserve All support thai we can give them. These Are very Gallant and Brave people. They Are they have been betrayed by very peo truly americans. It is our duty to let them pie they came to help. I think they always know that they have knew something like this could happen and still they accepted their duty and carried it out to Best of their ability. The Ameri can military personnel at embassy or wherever will also continue to do their duty in Best Way they can. Some have Al ready made supreme sacrifice and gave their lives. These americans must not be forgotten. They must have strength of entire Art Buchwald As controls on credit cards become More stringent people Are paying for their purchases in Cash. Since most sales clerks in Large department stores have no experience in handling Money they Are now attending crash courses to learn How to Deal with of leading department stores in Washington permitted me to attend a class. The instructor used slides to familiarize clerks with various denominations of Money they would be handling. Before credit card he said americans used paper Money when buying goods in stores. Now because of credit restrictions placed on customer people Are returning to use of paper again and you Are permitted to accept it. Arc there any questions How do we recognize value of currency that s a Good question. Please watch slides. First i will show you a one Dollar Bill. Note that it has a picture of George Washington on it and in Corner a Large figure one this is smallest denomination. It will not buy anything by itself but is used to supple ment a Purchase when person use following Bills Here is a five Dollar Bill with Abraham Lincoln s picture and this is a ten a likeness of Alexander Hamilton and a Twenty Dollar Bill with Andrew Jackson on face of it. We will Deal with fifty and Hundred Dollar Bills in advanced Cash course now let s simulate an actual Purchase so we get used to dealing with Money. Frankie Kelly you will be Saleslady and Lizzie Diamond you will take role of customer. Let us assume Frankie that Lizzie has just purchased a bathroom scale. Now go Lizzie said i wish to buy this scale. And 1 want to pay replied it is $25.60." Lizzie handed Over three ten Dollar inspected Money. May i see your Driver s License please no Frankie instructor yelled. It is not necessary to ask to see a Driver s License when someone pays All right Frankie said. Then she turned to Lizzie. Do you have any other identification Wail hold it instructor said jumping up. When a customer pays Cash you do not have to ask for How do we know Money is any Good Lizzie could be using someone else s Cash Frankie have to assume Money is Good and that it belongs to i could Tell Frankie was upset. She took a pen to write on ten Dollar Bill. May i have your address and Home Telephone number Don t write on Money instructor shouted. It will Only confuse next person who uses it. Just Lake should t i Call Treasury department and read off numbers of Bills to make sure Lizzie in t a Deadbeat it s not necessary instructor said. You see on each Bill it says in god we Trust so when a customer pays with Cash we have to Trust you mean i Don t even have to Call my supervisor to initial Bills no you Don t. Just write out a sales slip and then Deposit Bills in i Don t think i la Ever get hang of it Frankie said in course you will. Now for next two hours we will discuss key to Cash system which is called making change has anyone in room Ever nude change before no one raised a hand.

Mtg Milf scheme Bosch Germany testing a Friendship it is a shame Way our so called allies germans British and French have conducted themselves when their Long time ally United states needed their appears they have prostituted them selves to their own Fortune and interest for getting one who has enabled them to have their Freedom and wealth . I can set Why they Don t want to support . Against russians. The philosophy of making promises and later doing opposite to enhance their own interest is much like their own. It is a sad feeling to go to work every Day away from my own country helping countries who Are not will ing to help us to preserve their Freedom and wealth. I strongly feel that . Should with draw from nato and unite itself with our True friends such As Canada and Israel. I would be proud to serve in order to help a country preserve its Freedom if it shows Mutual respect and Friendship to . Even after our so called allies have show their True face president Carter in True american spirit has attempted to save them from Embarrass mint by thanking for their support. Two Edward go. Germany no space to Park i am thirteen years old and am writing to complain about people who Don t have any consideration for reserved parking places in our housing area. My parents often come Home and find other cars parked in our space. Don t these people know that they arc reserved for us and our company Only there not just for anyone who wants to Park and have lunch. We often have to leave a polite note on their car telling them to please move it because we want to Park in our space not five Miles Down Street. I Don t mean to sound sarcastic but this happens too Many times to ignore.
