European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 28, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse May 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers letters dear Ann Landers when i was 30 years i decided i a after 2 years i finally became preg i went to a highly recommended obstetrician and told him i was concerned about having a nor Mal child at my he said i had Noth ing to worry i asked him about amniocentesis and ultrasound just to make he said i didst need it during each visit a urine Sample was taken and he listened to the that All the checking that was done until i went into my seventh when i finally talked him into the Ultra i had two of the when i asked about the results i was told everything was i lived like a Saint for nine touched no drugs or chemicals and ate Only natural in november i gave birth to a Beautiful baby my husband and i were so twelve hours the paediatrician told me the child was what an ugly word for such a Beautiful baby we were crushed and looked for someone to was anyone to blame did i receive the Best care and treatment i certainly paid enough for with All the technology we have Why want it made available to me i cant Tell you How much we love this but if we had known in the begin we would have terminated the preg sign me about Downs dear Down according to John chair Man of obstetrics and gynaecology at Northwestern the care you received was acceptable for a 32yearold a Downs syndrome child can be born to a woman of any but the chances increase greatly after probably the reason your doctor did not use the amniocentesis is because the procedure is not without danger and he Felt the risks out weighed the chances of finding something ultrasound cannot detect Downs it is used to learn if there Are Gross abnormalities in the Bone or tissue my it appears there is no one to dear Ann Landers my daughter will soon be All her friends use their bedrooms to the majority do this while parents Are not at some of the kids smoke pot and drink Beer or hard nobody makes a big Deal out of whether you do or you she claims she Doest it seems that the bedrooms Are the entertainment centers we rent they with tvs and stereos and of they have easy Coffee tables and my daughter is doing her room Over with the thought that she will be allowed to entertain her friends in her bed room with the door should 1 allow it my better judgment says but id rather have her entertain her friends without the booze and smokes Here at Home when i am present than go to some one else House where no parents Are which is usually the woe dear Universal your Daugher sounds solid and i suggest a Tell her she May entertain her friends in the bed room with the door but Only when you Are at writer is concerned about cars on autobahn reminder All letters to the editor must contain the full printed name and address of the writer and must be we 40 not read unsigned but we will withhold your name on request and protect your All letters Are subject to i was driving this weekend Between Koblenz and Munich and noticed a very distressing item at least to me the fact that so Many american forces private cars have Bro Ken Down on the Side of the on my trip Down and i counted 22 care off the Side of the 18 of which what struck me was two separate items How Many were off to the Side with Flat tires and the mis Erable condition these cars were first the care with bad tires could have been Many but of the three i stopped to i found that the Drivers were exceeding the maximum Speed in tended for the one an american had Good year the tires were relatively but the tire had shredded the other tires were extremely hot and while changing the another just the Soldier Driver stated she was driving 90 the second of these cars was this car had european Contis and again in in this Case two blew on the asking the Young Man about his he proudly i was doing Over of Mph not too bad for so old a but the tires were Only rated at 160 second the Young Man was quite proud of his automobile but i have driven it around the much less on the autobahn at Over 180 the Young Man stated that it was his first car and that he got a pretty Good Deal on he Only had to do a Little minor work on it to make it pass both the main door panels out Side had More Hondo than Metal and the frames around the doors were the extensive amounts of rust were showing All along the lower panels and front and rear wheel in proud of the car i drive and know it will do 180 i also know that my tires will travel that Speed my tires Are rated at 220 and i ensure the car is in perfect operating condition with no safety defects Ive driven Over Kilometres privately since Ive been Back to i realize that Many Young soldiers Over Here Are looking for a car to drive and cannot afford a new but the cars some Are driving Arent even Safe to take Down the my understanding of the inspection on the vehicles if no major rust is showing and there Are no holes larger than a Pencil in it can this Means that if the Hole can be smoothed and of the same goes for the tires on the if three tenths of the tread is still on and the tread Wear markings Arent it will also regardless of style Type or As Long As they Arent to my Many american specification cars come with american this is All right in the United states where the Speed limit is Only 55 Mph 88 when these tires Are used in Ger with the speeds people should be your tires Are not rated at High autobahn by i mean higher than 85 Mph 130 european tires Are rated by Speed r up to 130 or up to 160 or up to 220 and or up to 260 Kph and by German if you exceed the recommended Speed for your you Are Lia ble for the i would like to ask a question of vehicle registration in How can we let this happen you Are the regulating authority for All american registered vehicles in Germany and you know How fast the speeds Are on the autobahn re Quested 130 Kph but basically i know that Many Young persons and older also would be happier in the Long run if you disallowed these 10yearold disasters from being allowed on the roads the meaning of Vietnam vet7 Stop and what do the words Viet Nam Veteran mean to you to me those words stand for men who were forced to go to a country Halfway around the of which they Kjad never Many were 18 or 19 years Young men who at their High school graduation were called the future of our two of my uncles were part of that one fresh out of High the other graduated four years and both had Bright futures ahead of but their futures be came very dim when they received their draft both came relieved to be in the United states once the younger of die two recounts Only this incident of his tour in Viet it takes place after he had returned Home and was in the Airport with our family i was too Young to remember this and several teen age girls came running toward our Small family group and started screaming baby and asking How it Felt to see napalm blow villages while burning All the innocent two years my Hometown of realized How Brave these men were to fight somewhere where we May or May not have so a Park was dedicated to those men with memorials to every Veteran of every War that the has fought in since world War it was the first of its kind anywhere in the United Many people May contest that the memorial in Washington was but it was not ours was in the the markers before Washington was i must say that i am proud of these men and i will stand behind them every of the these men fought under some of the most deplorable conditions and should be com mended and honoured by the United
