Our children had played together for Many years am she wanted to express her appreciation for my kindness and hospitality to ? her family. I never knew inc woman Well nor did i warn to. She was a fal Slob who did not lock As if she belonged in our neighbourhood. Her children however were always beautifully dressed Well behaved and a pleasure to have around. Her letter stunned me. I was written in her own hand As Fine an example of penmanship As i have Ever seen. Her personalized stationery was in excellent Lasic. Her Choice of w ords was exquisite. That letter was a masterpiece of literary construction filled with Praise for the manner in which 1 utilized my talents.

Questions answers on financing new car Purchase recently 1 Rinir articles concerning the stronger sales of cars by outlets in l Uroic. I am presently in the Market for a new tar. That i can take Back to the . When i i ave Liuro pc. Cafes outlets have the car 1 want but one thing hat halted Rny Purchase at this time. Financing. 1 hesitate to pay the present annual percentage Rales apr offered by local credit unions and american express. Perhaps you can explain to me. And the rest of your faithful readers Why we can not obtain reasonable apr. I have seen numerous newspaper advertisements from stateside papers touting offers of 7.7 per cent apr on practically every make and Model of new car available in America. Ford pm Chrysler am and Volks Wagen Are All available at these rates state Side while we arc forced to pay usury rates by comparison. Gaffs has the cars. Gaffs has availability. Gaffs has computer terminals direct to at least one credit Union right in their offices for speedy processing and almost instant approval. Anil cafes prices arc even competitive when compared to Small or medium size stateside dealers forget the big volume dealers which my Price comparisons have shown to fall behind. So when arc the big four . Auto companies and gaffs going to do something to help with financing compare for a moment what 8 percent financing docs for me on a $10.000 car versus 12 percent available at local credit condolences Aren t necessary this letter is in response to the article mormon women Lold to Stop seeking Priesthood in a recent Issue of the stars and stripes. I can t understand the great Media inter est in the annual women s meeting held by our Church. Year after year i read the same Bias from someone who knows Little or understands Little of what the Church of Jesus Christ of or Day saints policy really entails. For example the article talks of the 3 million member Church. With very Little re search one could find out that we Are closer to 6 million members. Thai s the accuracy of newspaper work i suppose. The next thing i find amusing is the in situation that our Church holds us Back since women Don t hold the Priesthood. I take exception to that. I can hold him any time i want to and that s More than enough holding Vic Priesthood for me. In a More serious View marriage is a sacred ordinance and if anyone is totally honest i would venture to guess that most couples would Hope their Union is a lasting one. Sure it takes a lot of hard work after 23 years of marriage i feel i can speak with some authority on that subject but it is Well Worth the Effort Back to the Mattot at hand. Don t worry so much about mormon women and intimate How Downtrodden we Are. There really arc lots of us out Here very satisfied with our lot Happy to take care of our husbands and our children. We Don t need the Media s annual condolences every time we hold our women s meeting each september. Norm 1. Ratliff Brussels Belgium it7s still your way7 at Ansbach Burger King s slogan have it your Way and its continued Billing have a taste of Home lasted about six months at the first Burger King in Ansbach. Very Quick when one can profit More on a foreign product it will come to pass. I am speaking about the sodas. They have switched to local Coke and Falla that we can Purchase downtown anytime. They eliminated the Only real opposite of cola and fanta when they eliminated Root Beer my Only soda Choice when Coke is the alternative they should change the slogan to have a taste of Home our Way. Lois a. Worley Ansbach Germany editor s note master sol. Bruce a Zilsdorf customer relations specialist. Public affairs office Liq cafes Europe replies be assured you can still have it Yoor Way at any of the a a fes Europe Burg or Kings. Please lot me explain. We Haven t switched to local the Ansback Burger King along with All the other cafes Europe food activities Purchase Coke syrup from authorized coca cob bottlers in Germany.

We re limited in the number of flavors we can offer by the number of dispensing Heads on the soft drink machines. The switch to Fanfa is intended to meet the desires of toe majority of our customers. Not All americans have aids i am a concerned Soldier writing in response to the latest crisis. The one that everyone is talking about and scared to death of. Yeh that s right aids. The main problem i have run into is that most germans Art scared to be around gis. They think that most of us have aids. It s gotten really bad. I have friends that i have known for two years who Are telling me that they won t have anything to do with Ameri cans any longer. They believe that having any Contact with us at All May Lead to contracting the virus. I believe that this Type of thinking is being created by our newspapers and Ger Man newspapers. I am of the belief that the papers arc publicizing this Issue a Little too much and in the wrong Way. In the last three months i Haven t picked up a newspaper without Reading at least three articles on the subject each Day. Now Don t get me wrong. This has to be publicized but let s have some really informative articles by doctors on How we can contract it How it effects you and so on. Lately i have heard of All kinds of ways to contract aids. 1 know that i Don t know which ones Are real threats or which ones arc just hearsay. So it s time we really educated some peo ple on aids. Maybe in the process we could let the German people know that most of us gis Don t have this regrettable disease. Thank you very much.
