Thousands of Chil Dren i m sure were depressed on Valen Tine s Day. While teachers spend time putting up Lovely mailboxes and heart shaped decorations Little emphasis is Ever placed on love an kindness. There Are so Many disappointed children every year. The same pretty girls and hand some boys always popular receive a Load of Valentines while the Plain Janes and johnnies Are left out. 1 am opposed to free Choice when it comes to exchanging Valentines in school. It creates too much anxiety and heartache. The teacher ought to match up  they should Malce Valentines for each other during class time. No other Valentines should be Given at school. This Way no one will be left out. It s the Best Way to save Hurt feelings. My own child is pretty and popular. She told me in january she hates Valentine s Day because the same kids get dozens while other kids get  she gave a Val Entine last year to every kid in the class.

When women have to Fork Over dollars to a Man for 20 years because of a momentary and it s not much More indiscretion then talk to me about equal responsibility. Unequal in Miami dear Miami thanks for the backup. Forta All Tetter to the editor in ail it Tow a i a � writer objects to vet fees charged for care of pets i would like to bring this to your Atten Tion because i feel it is an injustice. Shortly after sept. 1, 1985, i took my two cats to the 99th medical Del veterinarian for their annual rabies shots. At that time i was notified by the receptionist and the no on duty that a user fee was implemented through a congressional order. I was also notified that once the user fee was lowered and it was expected to be so a refund would be forthcoming. I accepted this explanation and volunteered my name address and Telephone number on a veterinarian sign up Sheet that was used for future Contact. I patiently waited three months before inquired about the refund because i knew no action would be taken until the reduction was implemented under an official congressional order. When i did inquire i was in formed of two very unsettling procedures. 1. The user fee was $10. The newly in stalled fee is Only $2 but is now called a transaction fee. The explanation was that the two fees Are unrelated and therefore those who paid $10 Are out of Luck be cause a reimbursement cannot be made for something that apparently does not exist. This exemplifies a blatant Case of bureaucratic red tape manipulation or in simpler terms a rip off 2. The transaction fee alias user  applies to military personnel and their dependents. Retired military and Dod civilian employees Are exempt. For example a private in the armed services who is in Europe serving and defending his her country who May one Day be asked to sacrifice his her life if duty Calls is now required to pay a user fee which has conveniently been re named by Congress to transaction fee in order to properly care for the family pet whereas a Dod employee or a retired Soldier does not. Since this is the year of the family i have a great Deal of trouble compre Hending the Dod slogan when discriminatory procedure such As this Are in  relish any explanation or excuse you May have justifying this policy. I would truly like to acquire a better understand ing of what it Means to  Carol p. Harrison Bau bolder German editor s note col. James c.

Because of Dod influence the fiscal year 1984 Adwa amended by the fiscal year 1985 defens authorization act postponing the impost lion of the fee until oct. 1,1985. The fiscal year 1985 act became Law oct. 1, 1985, when the fiscal year 1986defense authorization Bill had not passed Congress. It required that a $10 user fee be paid by All Active or retired service personnel or their family member each time a pet was provided veterinary care service.

This letter is to inform your readers that february is National children s dental health month. This month designated bythe american dental association is set aside to promote dental health in children. Proper diet and Good Hygiene can prevent dental disease and make visits to the dentist an enjoyable experience. I would like to address several common questions concern ing children s dental  first visit to the dentist should occur around the age of 3. It is usually Brief and the dentist May just count the Teeth and get acquainted. Children s books Are available that Deal with the first dental  the first visit parents should clean their children s Teeth daily since the Chil Dren Lack the manual ability to do it prop Erly. Help them form Good habits by encouraging them to Brush their own Teeth As Well. Continue helping the child until he is Able to do a Good Job on his  provide sugary fluids milk fruit juices Etc in bottles for Long periods of Lime especially at night. This can cause baby bottle Mouth where the upper front Teeth decay quickly and turn Brown. The sugary fluids promote rapid bacterial growth plaque and the acids the bacteria produce decay the tooth enamel. Remember clean Teeth can t decay. Fluoride in the diet can reduce dental decay by 60 percent. Fluoride is built into the enamel As it forms and it is much More resistant to the acid attack of tooth decay. It is important to have fluoride in the die from birth to age 12, when the primary and permanent Teeth form. Fluoride can occur naturally or can be mechanically added tothe water Supply. If it is not available fluoride supplements can be prescribed by a dentist or physician. Newer techniques Are now available that Lealani to the biting surfaces of the Teeth. This prevents decay from occurring in the tiny cracks that Are commonly present. Premature loss of primary Teeth from tooth decay can be painful and can Lead to dental phobias because the child will associate this pain with the dentist. Prevention is the key to a lifetime of Good dental health. Robert tue Nan .
