has meant so much to me through the will you please print it in your column i feel it is some thing that should be fan of Pauls and yours dear fan with i regret that the original wont fit into my so Here is an abbreviated and what better time than on fathers Day what Are fathers made of a father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an a father is a thing that growls when it feels Good and laughs loud when it is scared half to a father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the Little ones Are growing a father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in his Childs he is never quite the hero his daughter thinks he is and never quite the Man his son believes him to this worries him some so he works too hard to try and smooth out the rough places in the Road for his son who will follow a father is a thing that gets very angry when school grades Arent As Good As he thinks they should he scolds his son although he knows its the teachers fathers grow old faster than other peo while mothers can cry where it fathers have to stand there and die fathers give daughters away to other men who Arent nearly Good enough so they can have grandchildren that Are smarter than fathers fight dragons almost they hurry away from the breakfast off to the Arena which is sometimes called an office or a workshop where they tackle the dragon with three Heads work and knights in shining fathers make bets with insurance companies about who will live the though they know the they keep right on even As the Odds get higher and they keep right on betting More and and one Day they but fathers enjoy an earthly immorality and the bet is paid off to the part of him he leaves i dont know where fathers go when they but i have an idea that after a Good wherever it he wont be Happy unless there is work to he wont just sit on a Cloud and wait for the girl Hes loved and the children she hell be Busy repairing the oiling the improving the smoothing

6009 army height and weight see your inspector general you were absolutely a 6009 defines the limits of the overweight program and when one should be put on the program and when one should be taken the army Standard for determining Ideal body weight is the body fat the weight screening tables Are just that screening because the army cannot have everyone pinched the screening tables were developed to screen individuals who might exceed the body fat once they have been identified whether through the screening tables or visual screening As possibly exceeding the Stan then soldiers get a Pinch the resulting medical determination of their weight is the weight that the Soldier must now whether it is above or below the screening the screening table weight now no longer to the unnamed spokesman from Usa eur it is a shame that you took the attitude that you the Soldier wrote for an answer you gave him your answer should have read As to take the attitude that his harassment was brought on by himself whether it was or not is wrong and just like the writer was complaining the writer had a valid it does not matter whether his weight exceeds a 600 9 and you should have addressed his not his by the it might have been Nice for you to give your name and stand up for what you have written 1 dont think that you could expect to the director of human resources and and the com Mander in Usa eur i would look into your it seems that who preferred to remain anon is giving out the wrong it appears that commanders Are not being consistent and May need i May be jumping out of the frying pan and into the but i will stand up for what i there is no disrespect in Patrick Germany information on College courses through the mail i would like to add the following information to the response Given to the letter on costly College another alternative for further education is correspondence the Petersons inde pendent study published by Peter sons guides for the National University continuing education association lists Over High graduate and noncredit courses offered by 72 colleges and the courses Are listed in two by schools and by subject with a Cross reference code to show which schools offer courses in that in the 1985 edition of the Petersons cat the combined schools offer courses in 20 different from arabic to yid including to use the one selects the courses and schools of and then writes to those schools for their specific Independent study course Catalon for Complete information on tuition and course the tuition averages about for a three hour plus shipping for the books and course materials and perhaps some nominal service the student pays the postage on the lessons mailed to the espionage Case sickens Reader i usually enjoy Reading the stars and stripes but recently i read an article that made me the article dealt with an a Navy offi cer who had been supplying the soviet Union with secret military it was later Learned that his a Navy Man himself stationed aboard the was also involved in the the Story further explained that this had been going on for almost 18 years and nobody knew about How could anybody do something like this to a country like ours like other am proud to serve my country but when military people do this kind of thing to i cant help but feel a Little is this the image the military is suppose to reflect i think the most ludicrous statement in the whole article was the ending sentence if convicted he faces a possible life what kind of Justice is this a person knowingly furnishes secret information to a communist country and what is the Maxi mum punishment a permanent stay at the local compliments of the govern ments according to article 104 of uniform code of military Justice any one giving intelligence to the enemy May face the death does this Ever Hap pen though of course some people May say that killing another human for any reason is wrong or but i what about the people who might die if that information sold to the soviets happened to be extremely damaging to the National Security i think americans should Start thinking More about the value of our Freedom rather than the lives of peo ple trying to give it Jacobs Raf i cant describe the Range of emotions i Felt Reading about that former Navy War rant officer and his son Selling secrets to the i think it is fitting that they should lose the Freedom they were Only too willing to sell to the perhaps then  realize the value of that Greer Raf us editors note the stars and stripes wishes to remind its readers that suspects in this Case
