Bombing of Japan. The Bottom line is there would have been no Hiroshima and Nagasaki had Terc not first been a Pearl Harbor. 1 remember Well dec. 7, 1941, As i came close to being a casualty. Over 3,000 Ameri cans were killed that Day not counting those thai were maimed or crippled for life re member Pearl la arb. A. Cabulong swe Zingen Germany i find the recent article on the japanese us Mic bomb victims hard in believe. A lot of people know the feelings of the bomb victims Bec Jisc of experience1 in world War ii through pictures books mag i incs and to bul that was 40 years ago. Sonji Yamaguchi said that there should be no More nuclear War bul How can he say that so easily. The Boi. I dropped on Japan was More disasierou1, Ilian people thought but nobody knew it until in was dropped. In present limes the super Powers nac More nuclear bombs and missiles than they need. The pain the jews experienced because of the it million deaths in world War ii is greater than those of the Japa Nese victims. The jews had both physical and mental pain which caused a kit of people to go Cray. The jews had to face death for no reason for such a Long period of time As prisoners. I certainly understand the atomic bomb victims of Japan but they can t say no More nuclear War in the world so easily. I Woong rec Bono european editon capt Dale k.

Bombing of  inc writer addresses a very sensitive subject. Due to an apparent stars and stripes editorial Bias there was no comment commemorating the anniversary of or any reference to the attack on Pear Harbor in your dec. 7 edition. The Only reference to he anniversary of the sneak attack was a Short article the Nam Day opening with policeman s Citron thai Day. No historical photos of the attack or of inc  to Honor the people who died on thai Day your editor considered a wind Mawn  to be of front Page importance on dec 7. Nice going stars and stripes. Keep up this unbalanced journalism and you la Bury our commemorating of this historical event a deeply As the remains of the individuals who died there. I a. Onui Ramsten a Germany it s not just one bus it s three i am a single Soldier stationed Al flak Cavern in Augsburg my main Mode of transportation from the Barracks to the fur rounding areas is my Bike. However with Winter closing in the weather is becoming colder and the roads icy without my Bike my main Mode or transportation becomes the Community shuttle bus. The buses come at two different limes each hour sometimes 10 minutes apart and other times an hour and a half apart. Why can t the master scheduler figure out a Way to have a bus come by every 30 minutes at the same time each hour my other complaint is that the bus arrives at the University of Maryland bus Stop on Sheridan Cavern five minutes after class starts and leaves five minutes before class ends. This takes 20 minutes of class time away from me. Chicks c. Caldor Augsburg Gemmy editor s note 1.1. Col. William k. Whitely a director of logistics Augsburg military Community replies As a Isburg Miu Liry Community s director of logistics i sup Nise be Hul la bus service and would like to respond to the suggestion one in inc idler on ibis subject. The writer s complaints can be an swered in two parts. First there Are three shuttle buses running three different routes with each route crossing at the Fuk Cavern. For this reason in May seem that Ibert is no rhyme nor reason for the Arr Al and departure of what appears to be one bus. But if the rider checks each bus is marked As to the route in is running. The main route shuttle bus no. I do Paris the flak Cavern Hospital e cry 90 minutes starting at 7 15 each morning with the last departure Al 9 30 . Route no. 2 passes inc Hospital a cry to minutes from 7 30 . To 3 30 . On Normal work Days. But no. 3, which is in support of Economy housing passes the Hospital at 11 30 . And 2 40 . Second shuttle bus no. 1 does arrive at the education Center after College classes begin and passes again before the classes Are Oicer. At this Lime we arc working out a schedule to help support those attending classes in the evenings As Well As those Nho use that shuttle bus on he other 210 slops each Day. Proud but he belongs to her Nio Irvi lil Anbu Chi i min �174 sans ?-Ivv . Oren him common ctr. Nab urn in response to the letter titled. Be proud of that Man who belongs to the army i respectfully submit the change to inc adage if the army wanted you to have a wife it would have sued you one to read if the army wanted you to have a Hus band it would have issued him to you in your Welcome packet i May be proud of my Man but i want him to belong to his family and his  Pride centers on the fact that be is a Man first and Foremost. Not because he wean bus or greens or blues or stripes or bars but because he is purely a Fine human being. Granted my Man and i Don t refer to him As the army s property is not a pot smoking Pill popping Man who thinks god is a fairy talc the wife a Rita ticket and the kids just a Means to keep the welfare com ing in but if he were i would be there to help him get through the night just in same. God blesses a cry Man whether he is in the army or not. As for angry words burned dinners late nights Early mornings dashed Hopes missed vacations and weeks including weekend spent bringing up two children alone Well it happens. But allow me the human Quality of emotions to fed sad or disappointed when these things happen to us and i would rather my Man be Here than there. Yes he is a Soldier it is his profession and i la support him by being Here. But i will not Swallow my life to Salute the Pride of the Man who belongs to the army. Patricia e.

All about us we hear talk of peace on Karth Good will toward men. Yet we know in Many parts of the world there is no peace and in the hearts of Many men there is not enough Good will.

The blur ring of the sexes. Some fear we arc heading toward social decay going the Way of the romans and babylonians. Others applaud the new morality and stare Down inc Squairs with eyes like hypodermic Needles. They said the sexual Sci Lulion was symptomatic of a maturing society that it would produce emotionally healthier adults if we 4 Lel it All hang  but did we overload the circuits and promote guilt and anxiety in Hose who could not handle so much Freedom and so Many choices there is evidence that suggests this May have been the Case. One of inc most encouraging signs of the times is that our campuses Are once again places of higher learning. The hostility and anger of the Laic 60s Are gone. Students have settled Down to serious Busi Ness. That is inc Good news. The bad news is Hal an awesome amount of alcohol is consumed on most College campuses and marijuana is commonplace in Junior and senior High schools. In is apparent that Many youths our leaders of tomorrow have opted to Anes Thetie them stuck against the pain of growing up and accepting responsibility. More bad news is Hal venereal disease is epidemic in Many areas and we now have aids for which there is no known cure. Gonorrhoea is the second most Preva Lent infectious disease in the United Stales.
