They took me to breakfast. In Short they did everything or. Sible to make my arrival As pleasant u pos sible. And that was Only the tint few hours of the first Day. Every Day since 1 arrived they have been there to lend a hand whenever needed anything. They showed me around explained things to me loaned me their dishes drove me Here and there.

In a recent article entitled Dod says some helmets Don t meet requirements i noticed some interesting figures As lol burned by Bonfire to the textile workers in South Carolina i Hope you bozos Are proud of your Bon fire of textile goods.

Victor Ira Ford Al Conza Italy lows gentes had a 1983 contract to make about 252,000 of the helmets for about $21.5  later the article is quoted the army has paid s82.20 per  a Quick Check of those figures leaves me wondering who i it that pays Cente the remainder of the $85.000 for each helmet and is this a worthy subject for nomination for the Golden fleece award or just some confused figures in our otherwise flawless daily newspaper spec. 4 Terry w.

She made it Clear that the woman trapped the Guy. It s too darned bad that the Law can t be changed to protect men who have been tricked by conniving women. The same thing Hap band. A scheming troll that she was dying to picked my husband to be the father of her child because he was so intelligent and  in other words she set him up. So now we Are paying $150 a month in child support. This financial Drain will continue for 19 More Yean. How unfair that if a woman chooses abortion the father has no say in the mat Ter but if she chooses to have a child he is obligated by Taw to support that child for 21 years. I believe this is a Rotten system and 1 Hope you have the guts to spearhead a drive to change this Taw. Burning and bled dry in California dear b. And r sorry dear i before the Taw b a Good one. What needs to be changed  sexual behaviour of men who Doat want to get trapped. You Don t say whether your husband was married or single when the Trollop set urn up but i m sure he was old enough to know that aex can result la preg Waicy if certain precautions Are not taken and if he wanted to be perfectly Safe be should not have left the responsibility up to us partner. Dear Ann Landers my 73-year-old father passed away recently. He and my Mother were inseparable. Their marriage was the Best one 1 Ever knew. A month has gone by and Mother has not opened a single sympathy card or Dis Turbed any of his things. 1 think she is trying u pretend dad is still living. I Don t want to Rush her but in t it time she accepted his death i be tried to get her to go to Church but she says it would make her feel worse to return to the place where they said  she does t drive but i be gotten her out As much As i can. Should i let Mother handle her grief in her own Way please Tell me How i can  accept reality and adjust to life without him. Worried about mom dear worried a month May be Rushing it a hit. Wait another two or three weeks. If the card remain unopened Contact your family physician and ask him to put you in touch with the american psychological association. They Cau recommend a therapist who specializes in grief. Depression that results from the death of a loved one requires special handling. Dear Ann Landers my Fiance and i have decided on a very Small wedding. We sent invitations to our immediate families and a few very close friends. One Friend wrote on her response car that the and her husband would attend and that she is also bringing her Mother. We4id not invite her Mother und i am really furious. My Fiance says we simply cannot Tell the woman that her Mother u not Wel come. I do not wish to share that special Day with a Complete stranger. I feel my Friend is being rude and Pushy. Please advise. Fairbanks alas adear Alaska if it s a wedding reception and the Mother is an out of town guest say yes. If it s a sit Down supper say sorry no outsiders can be
