when being How to accept a How to sit the importance of saying thank you and a lot can be crammed into that very Brief Span of please dear Ann Landers this letter is about in words and out for a Long time i have been fascinated by the changes in descriptive forty years ago people of african descent were referred to As col that word fell into disrepute and was replaced with today negro is out and Black is the same pattern can be seen when referring to another minority Many years ago the word crippled was crippled was scrapped for after a handicapped was re placed with recently disabled has

the foggiest those changes Are probably brought about by writers or to people who have Access to the you have posed an interesting if anyone out there has a better id like to hear dear Ann Landers

additional reaction to Center for defense information report a recent Story about budget for Gold plated bases draws fire surely was in tended for the april 1 if this was a serious could you please print the address for the Center for defense information maybe the full text of the report makes More any if the passages quoted after repro the entertainment value should be Worth the assuming the item was we Are in deep when a thin tank with several retired military represented by a re tired can confuse the ritual annual list of possible candidates for closure As a serious proposition and when a report based on such an error is Given popular we have serious to equate no operational facilities with nonessential ignores the entire character of the overseas military to recoil in horror at the thought that we Are making provisions for remaining in the Pacific theater ignores the realities of the world if we Are talking about those facilities needed in the conduct of the viewpoint of the Center might make if we Are looking at essentiality in terms of an accompanied deterrent the Center is making several fundamental As they they Are not proposing that troops stationed overseas should not have adequate housing or education and Din ing they Are either engaging in a massive exercise in double talk or proposing a new definition for these How does one run an adequate education program without nonessential libraries How does one provide adequate housing for accompanied personnel without the dependent schools and childcare facilities which Complete the package if their definition of As exemplified by their is followed to its logical the new look Over seas military is an interesting we would have a Force composed of Unac illiterate atheists who spend their free time sitting in their open Bay bar for those who Are their families would be drawing no support from the military in the it would save by the same the hordes of Attila the Hun were an then maybe Atti Las hordes took their families with Why not take things a step further we could trim a lot of fat from the budget if we stopped paying people to Man those sections of the Hospital system that do not relate directly to Healing the sort of injuries Likely to occur in we could trim More if we paid our peo ple in kind and eliminated Money for frills like no dining facility civilian the possibilities Are of if we want an accompanied Force who will be assigned to an overseas unit Long enough to establish the kind of identification that builds Esprit if we want military members to be Well educated peo ple who Are part of a professional Force if we want to provide the Basic facilities that our people have a right to expect then this report is a mildly amusing publicity from the prices most of the non essential construction looks like Basic renova Tion to paraphrase the the Cen ter needs to take care in their How Many of these projects Are at Mili tary bases on this years possible Candi dates list of How Many Are renova Tion projects designed to keep facilities fit for use while we go through the Long pro Cess of closure How Many of those bases which might actually be identified for clo sure

on a balance Sheet but fails on the Michael Carter Raf England i became furious when 1 read that facilities such As our Hobby recreation and swim Ming pools Are considered Gold plating by the Center for defense i am very surprised that this whose Board includes some retired miliary underestimates the value of mor ale and its affect on the these nonessential facilities provide an alternative to
