Dear Friend thank you for requesting rerun. It s a heart Wanner. Dear Ann Landers when i lost my husband several months ago i had a great Many phone Calls and visits from relatives and friends. They were very helpful. But now i want to get on with rearranging my borne and my life. In order to do this in cd peace and quiet. The problem is Juno a woman who continues to come to my Home every Day without fail. Some Days she arrives before breakfast and stays until late afternoon. She never phones ahead just drops in. We were never close friends and i have Nitro in common with this woman. She has Many problems and i m sick of hearing about them. How do i Tell her i need Lime for myself and wish she would leave me alone re needed in Sioux City Iowa dear Sioux cily at in risk of Boring my longtime read ers. I la say it for the umpteenth Lime. Nobody can Lake advantage of you with out your permission. A few we a worded could put an end to your problem. Sample ease me or without first n7l come r without when you drop in w Fere will my schedule and " she drops in after that s l upset do if shelter returns you have not Friend you have unloaded a Burden. 011, a letters to the editor Musl contain All letters Are subject to Edilma. Tetters he has a plan for balancing the Federal budget every Day now tie a uralic is becoming More aware of inc danger to our country from the consequences of our National debt of More than �2 trillion and our annual Trade deficit of $200 billion. The new Gramon Rudman act requiring a balanced budget by 1991 is a Good step Lowerd fiscal responsibility and reducing our indic deficit but the methods being proposed by our poll tibial leaders to achieve the balanced budget once again places the Burden of privation and suffer ing on the average taxpayers the Young students and workers the old and the needy through the inevitable higher and higher taxes and elimination of social pro Grams. Why Nat for Unce place the Burden squarely Hurcil belongs on those individuals of great wealth and parallel corporate interests who in pc benefited far Many years by this economic slavery answers to letters disparaged since i arrived in Germany and begun Reading the stars and stripes i be seen a lot of letters critical of articles other peo Ples letters excessive coverage of i and Charles Etc. The purpose of this letter ii to voice my annoyance with the answers you print in response to readers letters. The experts to whom you turn for responses invariably deluge us with Liberal doses of propaganda about Why our troops Are Here that such and such a command or office or facility is Here in order to keep the peace or support those who keep the peace or provide entertainment and services la support those who support the others. Please leave All that trash out of the responses. We All know Why we re Here we know we have to train to be ready Etc., Etc. Let me cite two recent examples in one a go asked Why lie had to go from cd to a Day of mandatory Iron train ing thereby not getting any sleep for two plus Days. The sergeant major whose response you printed gave a lengthy and useless response about How difficult combat is and How such lengthy periods of sleeplessness Are Good training far combat. Rubbish when the bullets arc flying around one s head that is incentive enough to stay awake. Why is it that the generals and sergeants major always sound like they Are leading a High school Pep rally in another letter someone asked Why the enlisted personnel in his unit were held captive to get their flu shots when the officers for the most part did not get their shots. The answer from an o-6. Discussed the advantages of inc program hut did t answer the question what would be done to make the officers gel their shots 1 thought a Good Leader would not ask his people to do something he would t do. Some leadership example. But i be digressed from my Point which is that your experts stick to the facts. Quote a regulation explain Why Congress Dod nato did some thing but please Cave out the Rah Rah is. Then you might have More room to print letters. Name withheld Worms Germany part will become aft on oct. 1 under the new promotion Point system a Soldier who is Over 40 years old can receive a maximum of 25 Points for the annual physical readiness test. I am 41 and these Are the results of my part 68 put Iupe 70 setups and 14 min utes for the inc mile run. If i were 39 i would have received so paint for making the lest. But i Only received 25 Points. I think it ii unfair for soldiers in he Over 40 age category to be denied promotion Points because of age. Through the stars and stripes i wish to Appeal to the policymakers to take another loot at the Point system. If the system is unfair please do what is right change it. Set Rasbold a.
