He has had problems with drugs and alcohol Start ing at age 1 1 and has been threatening Sui cide since he was is. He is Accident prone and Bat wrecked every car he has driven. His uncontrollable temper has made it impossible for him to sustain a relationship with a woman. He has mistreated every female he Ever went with. Of course they get tired of the abuse and leave. He then runs Back to us and rants and raves because the whore walked he can t hoj a Job but it is never his fault. We have offered him More psychiatric help any time he is willing to accept it but be says he has never met a sane psychiatrist and refuses to waste any More Timeon screwball. Our other children Are Good Young adults and have never caused us any trouble. But one child like this can keep the whole family in an uproar. It s Plain hell. This son was raised with the same love and atle lion Hii siblings received yet he is totally different. I am not writing for advice. It is too late for that. I guess maybe i just wanted to let other parents who have this problem know they Are not alone. Meanwhile if you have any theories on Why our son is the Way he is i would like to hear them.

Keeping the Faith in Syracuse dear Syracuse Trust on both sides is far More effective thai accusations threats or game playing. Thanks for the testimony. In reminder and letter to a editor must Connate rules for commissary Exchange shopping reviewed i recently began dating a woman in the Canadian armed forces stationed at cab Lahr. Recently when she was visiting me i tried to take her shopping at the Ramstein commissary and base Exchange. At both facilities she was Entrance eve though she presented her Canadian armed forces id card. We were told she could Goin Only if she was stationed at rams Lem and had orders to prove it. This seems to me a shameful policy. Can Ada is so often referred to As our Good neighbor and closest ally. Their military is Over Here doing the same Job As ours. . And other nato military personnel Are welcomed into the Canadian Exchange which incidentally has similar and often cheaper prices. So Why Are we treating our Good Canadian friends this Way i was embarrassed and ashamed of this policy As Well As angered a Little. I would like to know Why it is this Way staff sgt. Scott r.

Army Post Al group Europe that yes at one time there was a reduced rate for greeting cards that weren t sealed but just had the Flap lucked in. Also there was a local rate letters destined for the same town or City that was Many years ago. Now i join name withheld in Ansbach in dating ourselves Hal Kelley shape Belgium editor s note our new York office replies the letter writer is Correct in stating that there was a time when Christmas cards could be sent at a reduced rate provided the Flap was tucked into the Enve Hope rather than using it As a Seal according to Rita Monroney the is. Postal service historian in Washington persons doing this were actually tending their cards As third class mall rather than first class mail. The latter because it was sealed bad an element of privacy which the unsealed mall did not. Those sending unsealed mail at third class rates were not permitted to include any Type of personal communication and were Only supposed to sign their cards although this Rule was often violated. This practice remained in effect until the 1967 Christmas season. Then on Jan. 7, 1968, postage rates changed and the first ounce of first class Man became six cents while Oki first two ounces of third class Ball also became six cents. So there was no longer any to mail ing unsealed Christmas cards. The rate Structure for the Yean prior 1968 looked like this one ounce of first class mail was three cents from 1932 to 1958, four ecu from 1958 to 1963, and five cents from 1963 to 1968 at which time it was raised to six cents. Two ounces of third class mall were two cents from 1929 to 1958, three cent from 1958 to 1963, four cents from 1963 to 1968 and went cents in 1968. Lonely Reader shares feelings living overseas with the military no matter How rewarding can be a very lonely experience at times. Please print his for Al those out there who like me have occasion ally Felt this emptiness of heart it takes away the sting or at least it did for me when i wrote it one lonely night perhaps ? i am so lonely for those i love for those who Are close to my heart. There Are time when i feel As though my very soul shall burst. The emotions that race through rerun so fast that i can scarcely grasp them for even a moment. I am so alone. I cannot share the Burn Ings of my heart with anyone. There is no one Here to listen and were there i do no know that i could even Tell them then. The Depths of the soul run beyond our human sight. Even we cannot touch the very deepest part of ourselves. How then Are we to share that dynamic intensity others we simply do the Best that an. Or do we perhaps that fright of withe can the unknown drives us into quiet secrecy. Secrecy. If we choose not to share the Depths which we con reach perhaps those which we cannot shall stay in the beyond and be safer there. Perhaps that abysmal part of us is woebegone and wretched or insecure or perhaps the contrary is True and those soulful Depths Are diffuse and Beautiful magical and tilled with White Light. Perhaps that which we cannot reach an fear so blindly u the very heart of god. The very reason for All that b Good in us. The abyss May in fact be the Zenith. The perennial Paradox. Perhaps the burnings of my heart which i cannot speak Are known to one. Perhaps i am not withheld Clessen circa a. 6th general dispensary overlooked in a recent edition Judy Sarasohn writes that the Camp new Amsterdam clinic is the Only is.
