Nebraskans repudiate state senator my husband and i Are nebraskans and very proud of our heritage. We were embarrassed by a recent article in stars and stripes concerning a Nebraska state senator and his opinion of libyan Leader khad Afy and the . Government. Sen. Chambers does not in most cases represent the nebraskan voice. He shared his View that Moa mar khad Afy is a great Man because he brought education and health care to Libya. The Ayatollah Khomeini brought religious Unity to Iran. Does that make him a great Man also he also shared his View that the is. Government is a racist  opinion and Likely that of most nebraskans is that khad Afy is Rotten to the Core despite a few self motivated Good deeds. We also feel that Pur government is not biased toward people of different races or religions. Some americans arc racist but not the government. Compare the United states to South Africa. My husband proudly serves in the . Air Force in Europe and will defend the government and the country against such men As khad Afy. He is also a proud nebraskan not represented by sen. Chambers. Rebecca j. Grove Sembab a Germany thank you arc Berchtesgaden this is a thank you letter to All the personnel who work at arc Berchtesgaden. Just recently a Friend and i attended an arc ski week. It was the first time either of us had Ever attended one of these courses or an arc for that matter so i was not sure what to expect. I was very surprised at How Well run the ski school and the general Walker hotel were. The recreation staff was very courteous and professional. These personnel were there ready to help at All times during the Day. The ski instructors were fantastic. With out their patience and knowledge i am sure the arc ski program would not be As Good As it is. The treatment by the hotel staff was excellent. These people tried very Bard to make sure everything went right after Ahard Day on the slopes. The note Al All times had a very relaxing atmosphere. So to All the staff of arc Berchtesgaden keep up the Good work thank you for a very enjoyable and memorable Vaca Tion. Sgt.

Rowena data Torre foundation Una Vershov Dumaguet City Polh politas dear Ann Landers recently you printed a letter from some Dingy Broad who said her Hus band had been trapped by woman who wanted a baby and who re sents the fact that now he has to child support had the nerve to say child support Law were unfair to men and ought to be abolished. You put her in her place by saying what needs to be changed is the attitude of men that birth control is something that Only women should worry about. You also said fathers who try to Duck out of their responsibilities should be pursued vigorously. A Day or two later you ran a letter from a pregnant teen Ager who had decided to keep her baby. She said it was going to be hard not Only for her but for her parents who would be supporting the baby at least temporarily. The girl did not mention the father of her baby except to say he refused to marry  you Ann Landers did not say one word about the father s financial obligations. Why that girl should have been told that the boy who got her pregnant has a financial responsibility whether he marries her or not. Why should her parents have to shoulder the whole thing alone what about his parents Why should the boy be allowed logo on his merry Way As if nothing happened i have two daughters and a son. There will be no double standards in this  my son is old enough to understand these matters he will be taught that sex is a two Way responsibility. If he gels a girl pregnant he will be just As involved As the girl who is carrying his child. In my Opin Ion any Parent who does t do the Sam with their sons is perpetrating a grave injustice against society As a . In Greenville dear Greenville you ought to be cloned. If we had � few million More parents round wills your Brand of Justice ibis world would be belter place. I Hope your letter will be the basis for some dinner table coff venation tonight and some classroom discussion  Ann Landers i am 13 years old one of the million people in the United slates who has a severe hearing problem. I was born deaf in one car. I would like to Tell All the people out there when someone says excuse me i did t hear what you said. Would you please repeat that do not say what s the matter with you Are you deaf whenever someone asks me that ques Tion i reply yes i am deaf and it s no  then i walk away. I would like to see this letter printed Ann. If it stops just one person from say ing what Are you deaf it will be Worth a lot to me. People have no idea How hurtful it is to be asked that question. It s like asking someone Are you crazy u makes us feel like freaks. Great neck . Dear . Here s your letter. In the meantime i encourage you and All hearing impaired people to respond to that question in an even More forthright manner. You might say yes i am deaf and i Hope you realize How Lucky you Are not to Nave the  readers wishing to write to news America Syndi Cate columnist Landers May address Ihler callers in care of the stars and stripes Apo ot211, us.
