European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 22, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Saturday february 22, 1986 the stars and stripes Ann Landers Page 11 dear Ann Landers i know you have touched on English language usage in the past but Here is an example that has never been discussed. It is the use of after hearing a Well known Public speaker use the phrase so times by k actual Counti i. Began to listen for it. Every clerk waitress politician teacher Workman and even my doctor and dentist and their assistant regaled me with of. Readers comment on King s birthday Black history women who work in Thrift shops around the country give an awful lot of Lime and Energy to their jobs and they Don t get paid. They have to sort through Box after Box of clothes some of the filthy and in terrible condition before they find garments that can be sold i have taken Many dresses skirts and blouses Home washed them and replaced buttons so they would be scalable. The women who work in our Thrift shop have first pick of the items. They must pay the same Price a customer would pay. No special favors. I have picked up some Nice bargains at the shop and i Don t feel the need to apologize to anyone. It s perfectly legitimate and nobody is stealing. I wish san Francisco would go Down to her Charity s Thrift shop and put in a Day s work. She would have nothing but Praise Tor the Job those women do. Babylon . Dear baby hundreds of volunteers wrote to say the same thing. I believe you speak the truth. Anyone who is suspicious should offer to work � few Days in the Thrift shop and see for herself.

This letter is in response to the negative treatment of the birthday of or. Martin Luther King or. On Jan. 20,1986, the birthday of Martin Luther King or. Became a Federal Holiday. The Pride i Felt being both Black and american was immense. I could t wait forthe Day to get Here so i could join in on the Celebration. While i expected jubilation what i received was a cold hard slap on the face. I was shocked at the discontent Over the Holiday for King. Fourteen states refused to recognize the Holiday major corporations Gross proclaiming february As Black his tory month i never bothered to research the reasons Why this legislation was passed. I suppose it is because so much of Black history has been lost stolen unrecorded or simply misrepresented that our govern ment Felt compelled to illuminate the contributions made by Blacks to our history. So it is fitting that each february the nation pays tribute to those Black Ameri cans who contributed so much to making this country the greatest on Earth. Long before sports stars like Reggie for the next several Days 1 kept count. The highest total was last Friday. I heard of 84 times within eight hours. After that i gave up counting convinced it was the most overused word in the English Lan Guage. Why do intelligent people possess such poverty of vocabulary thai they must lean so heavily on this one word response it is addictive like you know How can a language survive if it deteriorates into illiterate garbage any theories on this .

Here s another example of Black history unearthed. On a september morning in1864, 13 Black soldiers earned congressional medals of Honor. They had led a successful Union raid on the Confederate stronghold in Richmond a. That assault was the turning of the tide for the Union. There Are surely thousands of untold stories of achievements by Black Ameri cans in All endeavours that remain locked having barely recovered from the shuttle disaster and while still trying to digest the state of the Union address your recent Edi Tion impaled me on yet another Thorn of outrageous Fortune.
