European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 21, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday june2t, 1986 the stars and stripes Arm Landers dear Ann Landers 1 found this in my father s desk drawer. He passed away recently at he age of 70and mom gave me his desk for my birthday. I have no idea who wrote these resolutions Bui they Are full of. Bood sense. I la be watching the \ Detroit free press to see if you " agree. . Of Idear . A. I do indeed. Here they arc. Thank far sharing. Resolutions up no one Ever gets out of this world  therefore to maintain a sense of values. Tike care of yourself. Good health is everyone major source of wealth without it happiness i virtually impossible. Resolve lobe cheerful and helpful. People will repay in kind. Avoid zealots. They Are generally humourless resolve to listen More and talk less. No one Ever learns anything by talking. Be wary of giving advice. Wise men Don t need it and fools won t heed it. Resolve to be Lender with the Young compassionate with the aged sympathetic with the striving and Toler ant of the weak and the wrong. Sometimes in life you. Will have been All of these. Do not equate Money with Success. The world abounds with big Money makers who arc miserable failures As human beings. What counts most about Success is How a person achieves it. Dear Ann Landers please Don t take up for the slobs. Anyone can keep a place looking respectable without too much pain. 1 see Young Juris walking around heaps of laundry. It takes a snap 01 the fingers to toss a Load into the machine. Ii lakes one minute More to fold a few things and put them away. It s easier to do the laundry than walk around it 1 0 times a Day. The same goes for dirty dishes. It is simpler 10 plop the dishes in the dish Washut than to work around them. Quit making slobs feel Good about themselves. The secret is to do it. Doing it myself in Dayton dear Day of course you re right if a person has a dish Sher and a washing machine. For those who Don to it would Lake lower than the snap of a Finger but it s still better than letting dirty dishes sheets and socks pile up. Dear Ann Landers for the past several years my husband has awarded a Small scholarship toward tuition to a needy student from the poor area where his office is located. Not once has he received a thank you note from a recipient. Please Tell your readers that students who receive scholarships should thank the donors. Their failure to do so affect the students who come after them. People Aren l motivated to give when they Aren l sure that dear Mich a too bad so Many Young people Are Book smart and people dumb 1 Hope your Fetter wises up a few thousand " scholarship winners.

Page 11 letters Why los Are taught English in our Community it seems that the local nationals los we employ arc taught How 10 speak English at no Cost to them and get paid for it at the same time. I am a family member spouse or whatever the army choose to Call us now but that s another letter working in an accounting office and every week with out Fifthe los with whom i work go to class at the Post learning resource Center to learn How to better their English. They arc on government time while doing so and he classes Cost them nothing. Must be Nice. My first question Why Don t similar opportunities exist for family members to learn German it seems that after head Stan which usually teaches Little the Only option left for us is to Shell out 250 Bucko o the University of Maryland or some other school for German 101 tuition and books and in Addi Tion attend the Casa Al night in our spare time and not be paid for it in any Way by the feds. What gives Here where is the priority with us or the ln7 Uncle Sam wants us to Nix with the local people team their language and customs but where is the incentive t personally can t afford this and i won Der Bow Many people realty can. Are there any other programs available not everyone is married to a Ger Man spouse. To get Back to my main beef Here s the second question Why hire los in the first place if they can t speak enough English to communicate with the people who come in our or anybody else s office we Are americans. Our customers Are americans-1 can under stand hiring someone who does t speak English Well if Contact with americans is limited but the people i m talking about Nave to Deal with their american co workers and others every Day. Their English is Sigil poor but slowly gelling better even after quite a few raises. Are there minimum standards or Are we in the Busi Ness of paying people to learn what should be a requirement for getting the Job please Don t gel me wrong. I m not against hiring los for jobs on Post. I m just trying to understand Why we As taxpayers Are pay ing Good Money to teach people what they should Al ready know if they want to get a Job with us. Darid Grosskurth Ansbach Germany editor s note Don sri Roedfr management employee relations and training Brunch civilian personnel Ulm on office or the Deputy chief of staff personnel ill Usa eur replies the Miter poses two questions that Are asked from time to tint by members of the american Community. The  language of he is. Army is English. All employees therefore Are required to hive minimum proficiency in English to discharge their assigned duties. Tor army provides English language training to increase in employees proficiency in its Oft Lal Ian guide add thus to contribute their enhanced skills to wards More successful Mission accomplishment. . Laws permit expenditure of appropriated funds Only for mining of government employees in Jab related skills. In los cases in which a Lun triage skill other than English can be shown to be a Job requirement training May be paid by appropriated funds. These same Laws also permit determinations that ran result in partial Liun Cibij payment Aln depending related category. Then Are nude Roku opportunities available for learn ing German. Civilians May and Are encouraged to Pur he path Hien duty classes on a space available basis Al no Cut to the individual. This Prath Lon Doea not help the to Kiok family member or individual who out Only attend evening cons its Gateway provides distinctive Levels of instruction la help individuals acquire the language ability of their desire. Voluntary classes Are offered during lunch hour Early evening and evening hours in Many of the larger army education centers for a nominal fee. Additionally University of Maryland offers introductory and advanced German courses. Within most Ger Man locates the Volks Hochschulz also has language Rutsis available for a relatively Small charge. There Are Volunteer and social organizations that pro vide Belr members a Chance to learn both languages and customs if the Host country a Good starting Point to find these sources is the local offices of army Community services. Considering the entire rang of sources individuals May discover availability of time is More of consideration than size of he pocketbook. Rogers backed on terrorism Gen. Rogers is right in the matter of preventing terrorism. The army can t do it and neither can the German police. The realistic Way to treat the disease is for the Media to cease giving Comfort and assistance to the enemy. As of now every time these vermin strike at babies women and innocent people the press to and All other mass Media jump right in to help them by 1. Announcing the attack in headlines with All de tails known. 2. Publicizing the phone Calls letters or whatever communication is received. In other words the Media collectively serve willingly As an advertising Agency. In my View this practice would be rightly termed aiding and abetting the enemy and punished accordingly. If these punks received no publicity they would Wither away. The authorities would Ihen be Able to Trace them through their mistakes it is humiliating to realize the Media Aie stronger in some ways than the military unfortunately. Bui in these cases they should be prevented from telling the Story until All benefits of publicity would be lost to the terrorists. William s.
