European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 18, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday september 18, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Arm Landers Dar Ann Landers yes it s True us your correspondents wrote there arc lots of opportunities for employment in the building trades in Connecticut. We need carpenters electricians Stone masons plumbers roofers and bricklayers. But before any one decides to Load up a truck and head this Way several facts should be considered. Speaking from my own experience housing in Connecticut is expensive and hard to find. Very Small apartments Start at about $450 a month and they Are at least 45 minutes from Dan Bury where my husband and i work. A decent apartment costs $750 a month plus utilities. A Plain tiny Condo starts at $70,000 and is poorly constructed and expensive to heat in the Winter. The condos in Stamford Greenwich and Westport Cost a whole lot More. In fact hey Are out of sight for average income people. The Homes that Start at si00,000 Are put together with Chicken wire and glue. Five Yean ago the same House sold for 160,000. And it s getting worse not better. Food stores Here charge vending machines prices. The Cost of living is sky High. The scenery in Connecticut is Beautiful but it i too expensive to eat. You pay through the nose for everything you Sec. Disillusioned dear Dos Here s another fellow who has some interesting comments on the sin subject. Dear Ann Landers i m getting pretty tired of hearing peo ple say there is no income tax in connect Cut. We be got pm Honey they have an other name. The language is capital gains dividends and interest. Also Connecticut has the highest state sales tax in the nation. It s 7 percent. Play that one on your harpsichord. Petunia. Not buying baloney dear Walowy neither in i. Read on. Dear Ann Landers want to hear a few facts about Connecticut listen up real Good. In 1976 we bought a Home in Darien for j60.000. A year later we were transferred and sold it for $74,000. Would you believe this House was in the Blue Collar Section of own a recent report out of Washington o.c., labelled those of us making under a 10.000 a year  Young Urban failures i guess we Are consid ered the Dregs the Bottom of the barrel. On the other hand the yuppies Young Urban professionals of Connecticut have Beautiful Homes in this Beautiful state. They Send their Beautiful children to Beautiful school. They Wear Beautiful clothes to Beautiful parties and everyone drives Beautiful cars. The truth is that the yuppies can t afford to live that High. They Are in Over their Heads and not saving a dime. Either they have to Start living like the rest of us or in the immortal words of Marie Antoinette. Let pm fix their own  to Texas do argot the culture Shock must have been terrific.

Richard a Kemp Raf Ben Waters England thanks to an for new soap thank you an for replacing Ryan s hop with guiding  i know these Are fighting words where All of you Ryan s Hope fans Are concerned. But there Are a few things about that Little known show that you should be aware of. For instance guiding Light has been on the air a Good Many years radio As Well As to. Guiding Light got its Start on radio before i was born. In its Early Days on to it was Only 15 minutes Long Back to Back with another 15 minute soap search for tomorrow pen pal i w4d ate to make pen Peh from Many count ret.

Negro Oriental group firm amt now teen on Abc in the states. From 15 minutes guiding Light went to 30 minutes and eventually to an hour. The lbs network was the Pioneer of presenting soap operas. I viewed these soap operas including guiding Light before certain other network soaps were created. My grandmother now 88 listened to guiding Light before i came along. Then i picked up on the 15-minute version i m 27. If a show can last that Long on the air Waves same network even it must be doing something right. An has always made it a Point to try to give its viewing Public a taste of popular shows As Well As those not so Well known or Well liked. If an wanted to be spiteful it could Cater to Only one . Network for show choices or have just straight news. So lighten up Ryan s Hope fans. I had to read about my soap before an aired it. A Little Reading never Hurt anyone. Thanks again an. Maggie Sli Maman re can Maio a Derma a every Day we hear about someone with aids and their problems concerning social acceptance. Why should we accept a person with aids into our schools businesses Homes Etc i can t believe some people doctors even Tell us not to be concerned about it because it does t present a Hazard. This disease is a health Hazard and should not be taken lightly. How can anybody say it in t when there is no cure spreading of the disease is uncontrollable and it causes death in some cases i must say that 1 certainly feel sorry for those afflicted with it but i m not going to Welcome them into my House. I Don t want my loved ones or myself to contract aids. Having a nonchalant attitude which is what some factions of society ask and let Ting the victims integrate freely in society is just asking for trouble. I m sure nobody wants aids so Why play in an unknown game segregating aids victims is an almost untouchable subject since the bleeding hearts among us would protest so strongly but i m sure that they would not like to get aids either. If someone has aids they should t Start suing and threatening Legal action if they arc kicked out of school or lose their Job. Those in charge have the welfare of Many other students or employees to con Sider. The needs of the few Are Many but the needs of the Many Are much More.
