European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 10, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse August 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Anh Landers letters dear Ann Landers your column about the burglar who fell through a school sued the school Board and ended up with a big settlement hit on a vital a judicial system is Only As Good As its too often juries ignore common sense and award enormous settlements for two reasons 1 it int their Money they Are giving and 2 they feel sorry for the plaintiff even though they know he was responsible for his recently in our a High school foot Ball player was injured during a films showed that he was the Ball Carrier and just before he was he deliberately smashed his body into the serious injury he sued everybody in what did the jury do they awarded him the defendants but before the Appeal could be they settled for they were afraid an other jury might award the plaintiff even so dont blame the judges and the Law its the juries that go jury members dont have the courage to you were responsible for your own nobody owes you a the result of unjust settlements is translated into higher insurance premiums for you and West Seattle dear Cody How thanks for saying

stressing the importance of Good Day care facilities i wish to Lodge a complaint about the Schweinfurt Day care according to the Community a rate increase for child care of 100 percent started in for those of us who use the this was the first and Only Noti some Points about the Quality care our children receive with this increase Are children Are unable to attend the pre school because the Center will not put them on the i was told the Center had a teacher and they would be in a learning environment comparable to the on talking with the workers i have found that they learn have no structured envy and Are not allowed to teach the children at when the children Start they Are not escorted to the bus or super Vised until the bus they Are sent out to Cross the Street by themselves at the bus Iest time of Day and at the busiest intersection in i find it hard to believe that Quality care does not include ensuring the safety of our children in grades one to four Are in school until about 3 and Are required to be enrolled in the halfday this is for 25 hours a although they use Only half of there is no refund for unused they cannot use the Center on an hourly basis unless reservations Are made the halfday rate includes school age children have to eat lunch at they Are not allowed to eat at the Day care family care is a viable but people have permanent changes of station and changing Sitters All the time is unsettling to the children and to the there is no program providing after school care for two to three hours the Day had a Good afterschool pro but it was phased Why with the rising importance of Day care for i feel there should be More command emphasis and Community aware Ness on these Poston Germany editors note Wayne Schweinfurt Deputy Community replies the morale

continued subsidizing of child care from the fund was also looked this information on rate hikes was disseminated As soon As the decision was reached by the Council to raise the Council subsequently reviewed their initial decision to raise rates in a special meeting and once again unanimously agreed that the rate increase and amount of increase was the child development services cd partway
