   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 19, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday june 19, 19b6 the stars and stripes Page 11 dear Ann Landers having heard from countless friends and non friends As the re sult of a letter i wrote to you a few years ago i have concluded that you must be the Best read columnist in the world. I cannot Deal with so much mail again so i this time please sign me an Anonymous  As a Clergyman who has officiated at Many funerals it has been my intention la write to you about this concern for quite a while but a recent incident jogged me into action. Ii is a commonly accepted fact that individuals who Are asked to be pallbearers Are close friends of the deceased. To be chosen is considered a special Honor. However i would like to suggest that before someone is asked to serve in this capacity his physical Condi Tion a taken into consideration because such a request is extremely difficult to turn Down. Al a funeral recently i witnessed men in their 40s and 70s, Ashen faced and tight tipped struggling to lift a heavy casket Over Steep terrain and carry it Over a mud Slick Bank. Several spectators appeared Sci tidied so was i thai we would soon have a few More funerals As a result of that one. In my opinion u would be Wise to set a Cut off age of 50 for Active pallbearers. The older dear friends can serve in an honorary capacity. No name this time dear . Sorry i Don t agree. Age today Means very Little. Some men Al so Are in i hair prime. In fact i know several men in their 60s who Are in better shape than some in their 20s and 30$. The keyword Here is judgment the Penan who makes the selection should take into consideration the physical condition of the close friends. As you suggested the frail the unwell asthmatics and hos who Sutler with bum backs and weak tickers could be asked to serve As  dear Ann Landers since you arc read by a wide Range of people i m sure you have Many advertising executives among your steadies. I receive More than my share of magazines every month from to guide to the journal of the american medical association. More and More the magazines Are becoming cluttered with inserts promoting products and services and reminders for renewals. I do the natural thing tear out at extraneous garbage and throw in in the trash without Reading in i brought up this subject Al work yesterday and Dis covered Iwasyn t the Only one. Everyone in the group did exactly the same thing. I m sure there Are hundreds of thousands of others who do it whal foolishness to waste a client s advertising Bud get on material that is trashed without being read. More important they waste the Reader time and antagonize potential customers. Tell them to Knock it off. Will you please irritated in Pittsburgh a dear Pitt bless you for trying what i be been thinking for a ions tire. Not Only do i abhor the inserts but those stitched in cards plea renew now and we will Send you a Gnu acc leather Library it duo arc also a Jat nuisance. Thanks for giving me an Opportunity to unload oat of my pet peeves. Writers dislike 7-period school Day .1.10 k Mil. To my. Artic. By Juji it a i n pm or the Sun and Bop. Apo 09211. U s the seven period Day As currently offered in depart ment of defense dependent schools Here in Germany is a farce. In places an increased Burden on students and teachers while offering Little in the Way of real educational gain. Although in is supposed to expand Opportunity in actuality it has the opposite effect students have less class time in each subject and More Homework. Teachers have less time to prepare almost an hour less each wee although they have one More class each Day to prepare for. Also due to the fact that All classes have been reduced from 55 minutes to 45, Lenain subjects that entail Complex outlays of materials and clean up can not be laugh in a viable manner within this shortened time Frame. In order to have it function with even minimum efficiency the seven periods must be supported with extra teachers so thai the wide Range of subjects in purports to make available to students can be offered. This additional personnel is also required to allow Tea Cher More Lime to prepare for their subjects to do grading counselling and Parent contacts. However even if extra staff was added the viability of the seven period Day would still be in question. Your articles regarding its positive aspects sometimes use Bonn High school As a supportive example. As All who Are involved in education Here in Europe know Bonn is not a typical school. The percentage of its College bound students is greater than in the aver age do Dos school. Its students therefore Are per haps More Likely to be Able to Cope with an increased workload. In the typical school a conservative estimate would be that Over 20 percent of the students cannot even Cope with a six period d or Pyran Bunny to Tutti tin Tan my 9�, Awo Wil Amu annul Jarmom.
