you printed a letter from a wife who was irritated about secretaries i wish i had saved will you please run it again in Texas dear Green Here it and on secretaries dear Ann Landers sorry in a Little late with this letter but it took me a week to Cool Down enough to write in still boiling i am the wife of an executive who thinks his Secretary is the greatest thing since sliced for one solid month my husband talked about nothing else but what he was going to do about secretaries would it be enough if he sent her a dozen red roses and took her to the nicest restaurant in town for dinner maybe he

nextdoor neighbors still have their Christmas decorations they Light up the Reindeer and the whole bit every we Are embarrassed when guests come to visit what can we do about it laughing matter dear they Are breaking no try offering to it might reminder All letters to the editor must contain the full printed name and address of the writer and must be we do not read unsigned but we will withhold your name on request and protect your All letters Are subject to Drivers speeding through Reader says Here is one More letter on safety and driving habits that i sincerely Hope you print before a tragedy since military police put most of their manpower at the Gates to protect our bases from terrorist it makes it difficult for them to protect the pedestrians from the Drivers who Speed on the Road going around the Exchange parking lot and refuse to yield the right Otway to a pedestrian who is in a marked crosswalk Well in Advance of an oncoming i have observed Many times most of them swerving around a Pedes Trian in a crosswalk or honking their horns to warn them to get across the Street so that they dont have to Stop for the Speed limit is posted at the Entrance to the shopping it is 10 Mph it is not 20 Mph when you Are going to the Post office or in a hurry to get off Post before with warmer weather there Are More pedestrians and a greater Chance that these reckless or careless Drivers Are going to hit next time you Are standing outside the Exchange or four watch the woman who is trying to Cross the Street with one child by the hand and pushing a baby in a stroller with the she Doest just walk right out into the when you Are driving in a Short parking lot at double the Speed you Are upon them sooner than you is it right to honk to make her run across the Road with a while you swerve round into the other Lane of traffic what happens to the child who stops in the crosswalk to pick something up when you round the Corner atthe cafeteria and the child Doest see you in time think about this How will you feel each Day with the memory of hitting someone in the crosswalk or worse killing them a Tod Dler Doest have much of a Chance against a speeding car which refuses to yield the right of Way to the child who was there Long before you turned Down that next time you Are in a hurry ask yourself if speeding through a parking lot full of children and people carrying bags of Groce Ries is really Worth the Chance of hitting last summer a pedestrian was hit in the parking does it have to happen again before you Wake up to the reality of Why there Are crosswalks and a posted 10 Mph Speed limit family programming on an in sure there must be a but try As i i Haven figured it out recently of nov seemed to have gone for an extended lunch break and lost All sense of reason when it comes to its evening at 7 you that time when All Little boys and girls go to a parental guidance Alert was aired just prior to the adult threes a As it the episode shown was filled with quite explicit sexual just the program for 7 following the adult comedy was a tape delay of the Johns College basketball everyone knows that the real avid College basketball fans worked hard All Day not to discover the score of the most important game of the year so that they could watch the tape delay in prime time and if you believe i have some Beach front property in the game ended in time for can then guess what at 10 the heart warming family two of a was and guess what the family had All gone to bed shame but whats this after the an other family two was now what could you Possi Bly have had in mind of no Ive just flipped through next months to guide and found that an has again switched Days and times on Many of its was there another Survey that we Haven heard about warrant officer Paul Wood Heidelberg editors note an an spokes Man replies As you noted in our Advance the threes a has been moved to 8 on this is a better time for the and allows a More family oriented program to be broadcast at 7 the second game Between Johns 1 and Georgetown 2 was billed As a big shootout which was capping the Mcaa regular this game arrived in Germany at 3 fans policy is to replay these types of major events in primetime hours on the Day they this game certainly qualified As a significant sports we moved primetime programming that evening and played Back the game when sports fans could see it our experience indicates the majority of our audience wants to see sports in prime although its not always Possi due to time differences Between Europe and the when the event is time As in this for viewing Conven then we try to insure its broadcast in prime this caused the programs you mention to be moved from prime time to later viewer feedback indicates a Strong viewer desire to see tap delayed sports that arrive in Europe in the Earl morning hours when they involve championships or other major fans initiative to address audience interests May cause some program but surely will not prove adequate for judging Beach front property in your this audience feedback does much to help us determine when and what Type of tape delayed sports should be an is reluctant to interrupt regular weekday primetime we believe that an occasional interruption by a major tap delayed sports or other special event such As the Academy will Benefit the majority of the this is in keeping with Standard practices of the commercial networks which rather routinely arrange their schedules to broadcast special in our the problem is exaggerated by the fact we receive updated program Ming from All commercial their decisions also Impact on by the you May be interested to know that an now carries eight of the 10 top programs and 36 of the top pen pals i am a Mye Arom algerian Girt
