problem addressed in your column or in any of the books i have read on this what happens emotionally to Chil Dren who find out later in life that their father was a Homo sexual we have been married for 15 four years ago i Learned my husband was sexually attracted to men As Well As to the Shock that followed almost destroyed our my husband agreed to see a the new approach to treating this problem is to encourage the homosexual partner to accept the permanent inevitability of his to try to relate to both sexes and then make an enlightened my husband resisted told his therapist that he had seen enough and was no longer interested in that the therapist kept urging him to go with males just to make finally my husband told the therapist we would work things out together without his we have managed to keep the truth from family and but i am deeply concerned about our two grades Woolage what will happen to them if they learn the truth about their father in later years i know How much parents suffer emotionally when they discover this about their Many Are Able to Deal with and accept but what about the other Way around give me some the therapist had no answer and said he didst Deal with childrens in Sausalito dear Sausalito actually your husband is not homosexual witness the fact that he fathered two if you and your husband work on improving your relationship and there Are no single men hanging around the House i see no reason for your sons to have an inkling of the should someone mention it to them and they wish to discuss do so but be sure to explain it was a phase of Imatsu Rity which produced an identity crisis that Long since has been dear Ann Landers i just read this letter in your column on eliminating the majority of junk mail and i would like to share my Sev eral years ago i placed my name with mail preference it took nearly a but my junk mail eventually was greatly much to my i carried my program one step a Large percentage of junk mail came with postage paid return cards or envelopes whatever piece of advertisement had my address printed on i returned at the advertisers after writing on it in bold Bright Pink Felt please remove my name from your mailing that reduced the volume of junk mail to almost i strongly recommend this if theres anything the advertisers its getting stuck for nonproductive postage at first i Felt a Little but when i Learned How companies buy their lists i Felt perfectly justified in protecting myself As Best i on no More in Lexington dear Lex Many people wrote to say the junk mail operations employ a lot of people and use a lot of paper and Ink those Are the positive i say its Tim consuming to sort through the pile and unless i Send for i dont want where do single gis store goods bought in Europe this is my second trip to Europe As a single Soldier and in both of my Tours Over i have yet to find an answer to my what i would like to know where can a single Soldier find a place to store items that he or she has purchased while Over Here in Europe in talking about items such As grand father Schra Enke and so Ive asked my Supply sergeant and others and it seems that no one has a Ive never seen anything of this nature in the stars and or on of there int enough room in our Barracks for actually in most Barracks there is barely enough room for most of us have been taught to buy these sort of items while were Young and single so that will help us out when we do get but since we have no Choice but to live in these Barracks because were not authorized to move off and we cant afford where do we find a place for storage int the government supposed to provide us a place for and if where can we find a place that is fairly easy on the Wallet but still is covered in a Good insurance policy in Case of theft or one last is the government doing or planning anything in the near future for More Barracks space Over Here in Europe in sure most of us would like the Opportunity to be Able to breathe a Little in talking about three or four peo ple to a withheld Germany editors note we received two responses to this the first is from a spokesman for the office of the Deputy chief of who responds to that portion of the letter dealing with storage of excess personal property the entitlements that single and unaccompanied service members have for the storage and shipment of household goods Are very items purchased after arrival in Europe Are not covered by any storage entitle ments in the even for accompanied just As items that do not fit in whether Barracks or family cannot be stored at government at the time of your permanent change of station pcs Back to the you May ship those items you have purchased provided that you have the weight allow Ance to cover the movement of your prop we realize that a reiteration of the rules might seem harsh and non respond a stars and stripes readers should be aware that Dod spends More than trying to lick stamp problems recently i went into my local Apo to Purchase 20 1cent the clerk we have no 2or 3cent you will have to Purchase 4cent i refused to have to pay double for the amount of Stamps that i this is unfair to the i feel that if the Apo Doest have the Correct Stamps which we need to then something else should be Why cant the clerks just run the letters through the machines and put the extra 2 cents on that my husband had mailed letters on the first working Day after the new rate went into he had to Purchase 3cent Stamps be cause the Apo on the first Day of business didst have the Correct i was mad but now to be told i would have to pay an even higher i am very Why Doest the Apo serve their customers better withheld Germany editors note 1st Daniel mail services army postal he usar replies although army Post offices throughout Europe ordered excessive quantities of certain denominations of Stamps and 22 the customer de mands exceeded the amounts on hand at some the week following the postal rate in crease which became effective numerous patrons purchased More Stamps than they needed for Day today thus exhausting supplies of lower denominational though stamp stocks were replenished daily with High demand stamp Deomina some of our Apos still depleted their Supply of certain when a postal clerk no longer has the Stamps a customer requests to mail a letter or the clerk May prepare a postage meter tape for the required Dod postal regulations re quire postage meter tapes to be affixed to letters or parcels by the postal you could have received the exact postage on a meter tape at the time you presented your letters to the clerk for billion per year to move household goods for the current budget Battles Over the amount of Money that Dod spends will not allow for the foreseeable an increase in storage authorizations or shipping weight allow for those items that simply will not fit into your we suggest that you Contact your local installation Tran Porta Tion they will be Able to provide you with the names and addresses of reputable Economy storage sad to repeat the expense will be but just might be less than you May have before you enter into any be sure that you understand the conditions and total Cost of the Lee housing division office of the Deputy chief of staff Engi he Usa eur and 7th also replies regarding the last the design used for construction of new Barracks for
