European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 31, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday october 31, 1985 ass the stars and stripes Page 11 in in what Cin us do to prot Cim  aids according 10 or. Harold Jaffa a i i he National centers for disease control in Atlanta 7.1 percent of those who have aids arc Honio curls and 17 percent t Are drug users. The f message is Clear. If you Are using drugs that involve Needles do nut use a Needle that has been used by anyone else if you Are an Active homosexual practice Safe sex. This Means no cruising around or picking up strangers and multiple part ners arc out. Use condoms. Re aware that the receiving partner in anal sex is the one who is most at risk. Slay away from bisexual males. Women who arc aware that their husbands arc bisexual should insist that condoms be used. There arc documented cases of women who have contracted the virus from bisexual males who do not exhibit symptoms of aids but arc carriers in other words they have the virus and can pass it around Al though they themselves do not have the Dis ease and May never have it. The percent age of lesbians who h be contracted aids is very Small. La by is do not engage in the Type of activities hat would put them in jeopardy. The most frightening aspect of this ill Ness is that anywhere from half a million to 1.2 million people have been exposed to the virus. It is estimated that one tenth of this number will eventually come Down with aids. Researchers now know that aids is not one virus but a variety of viruses. The first cases attacked and destroyed the immune system leaving the patient easy prey to pneumonia and All sorts of infections. Most recently Many cases have turned up that indicate the disease can attack the Central nervous system As Well. The symptoms Are then neurological affecting sight speech memory ability to walk. Etc. All authorities on aids have sounded this warning stay away from prostitutes. Recent information shows that they now May be prime carriers of the virus. Stay out of Massage Parlours. Casual sex in such places can be very risky. Heterosexual couples Are not completely Safe if one of the parties has been fooling around. Unless you know your partner very Well a condom should be used. It is Wise to remember that the fewer sex partners the less the Chance for becoming infected. Finally 1 would ask you to be compassionate if someone you know should come Down with this dreaded disease. Remember aids is not As some people believe a punishment from  the unfortunate people who have been stricken with aids have enough tragedy to Deal with. To shun or ostracize them u cruel. Would 1 visit a Friend with aids yes i would. People fear aids As much As they used to fear leprosy. In 1962, or. Robert Stolar of Washington and i visited a Leper Colony in Nassau. His then wife and my then husband refused to go so the doctor and 1 went without them. Or. Stolar a dermatologist knew that leprosy is very difficult to get but the irrational fear of the disease kept these people isolated. We had no fear whatever. Our visit with the patients lasted several hours. We ate with them visited at length and Shook hands goodbye. It was one of the most rewarding and uplifting experiences of my life. Reader Elihino 10 Orlle to Newi America Syndi Cate column a Lander Mav add rim Hel Telleri in care of the Slon and Slrine Apo Wii. Us. Force t thoughts on . Industry and the Trade deficit i am writing this letter in response to articles on protectionism and the Trade Defi Cit  1 have been Reading. It is my understanding from to Nev and newspaper and  articles  the United states is lapping far behind in Trade with c her foreign countries a cae in print being the . Shoe Industry. Accord ing to numerous articles the . Show Industry his been assailed by a flood of so called cheaper imported foreign shoes according to the articles the number of shoe factories and factory workers has declined drastically in the past years because so much of the american shoe Market has been affected by the imports. The articles also have made mention of the fact that Many foreign countries have closed off much of their markets to a num Ber of american products and or have placed High tariffs on american exports to their countries. Now docs Alt of this mean that it is because of the actions of these foreign countries that the . Shoe Indus try has taken such a beating Many other articles 1 have read have said thai a great part of the american manufacturing base is located in Many of these same foreign countries. That is a great number of american companies and corporations have built and operate a great Many manufacturing plants and factories in the my same foreign countries that pose such \ thre Vit to american indu Wilry. Why do these  companies and corporations operate  and factories in these foreign countries 1 according to the article-., in is because the  and operating costs in these plants Are much cheaper. I Urcin labourers work for much levs Money than american labourers do and thus operating co tin Are greatly held Down. It seems to boil Devn to the fac thai it co is less flimit1 l run Thise , and  Means Mure profit at less expense for the Ameri can companies and corporations and sup posed y the product will Cost less to the american consumer. How is it thai these foreign countries can be named uhen american Industry seems to have a big hand in Many of these same cheaper foreign imports that Hock Inlo the .Aren t Man of the Joh that Are held by those same foreign labourers jobs that americans could be doing apparently these imports have something or else the american consumer would not buy them. What effect do the tariffs have on he imports exports so Why is the . Govern ment getting so hot under the Collar about protectionism again a Case in Point is the Auto Indus try. The great american automakers arc complaining about not being Able to com Pete against automobiles from Japan the automakers claim that they Aren t getting a fair enough piece of the pie. The Way i Sec in ii that the american consumer is  right to demonstrate and limits one of the greatest fallacies that has sur faced during the continual struggle to de Fine constitutional rights is that statement put Forth by the students of the 60s that the rights of opinion and protest Are unlimited. Unfortunately this Standard has been resurrected in the 80s with the current  tests under Way across America. Al Issue Here is not the right of free speech or the right to demonstrate nor am i concerned with whatever message these Stu dents Are presenting be it apartheid Mili tary recruiting on Campus or nuclear weapons deployment no my outrage is aimed at the manner in which these protests arc staged these students believe that they have the right to close buildings on campuses de stroy government property or do whatever they deem necessary in order to make themselves heard thereby denying the right of a professor to Leach or a student to learn. That Many people in America Are sympathetic to this belief is no leu frightening a thought than would be the loss of the right to protest. Not Long ago. Two citizens Etc convicted of trespassing forcible entry and the wilful destruction of $34.000 Worth of government property at a private defense Plant. The judge presiding passed out a sentence of six months probation and no Fine with the explanation that the two individuals were truly concerned with world peace. In other words those in Public office who advocate i Strong defense had better walk lightly in the future lest they too be eliminated in the name of world peace. Granted the right to demonstrate is guaranteed in the Constitution. However this right is lost when the rights of others Are compromised during the demonstration. Without this guideline America and most assuredly the College Campus will become a Battlefield with mob Rule the order of the Day. It is at Best undetermined when trying to ascertain exactly what is being taught and Learned in College today. Spec. 4 Hubn ii.

In All reality is a person going to put Dowtin a lot of Money on some Lhing that he knows is a Gix d product like a  car something  he Knos u made with Quality and care and is going to list or is  person Point to buy a product la it he has doubts about because lie in t sure if the product is Quality built or dependable or if it will be subject id recall because of shoddy workmanship the  Auto Industry is always advertising that its cars Are Quality built dependable and affordable but in does t have the impressive facts and figures to a Icv up its  like the Jip inc a Auto Industry. The american Auto Industry even had the Gall at one time to imply in its advertising that if you did t buy an Ameri can made car then you were some kind of traitor or something.
