European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 23, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday june 23, 1986 the stars and stripes Ann Landers dear Ann Landers the wedding season is upon usand 1 Hope you will pass on some advice that May save a great Many people from being miser Able. I speak specifically about the Stag party the night before the wedding the Bachelor s last fling with his pals. I please Ann Tell them if the must have Uch a Celebration to i schedule it for a week before the wedding not the night before. 11 know of at least five grooms who were so Hung Over they were unable to remember any thing about their own wedding. I know one fellow who was so lick from Over celebrating that he could barely make it Down the aisle. He looked like hell and had to go to bed for two Dayi immediately after the ceremony. The family told everyone he had the flu but a lot of people knew it was from too much hoop de do the night before. My own wedding was ruined because of too much booze at the traditional Stag party. My husband had a terrible headache the Day of the wedding. He took so much aspirin his. Stomach became upset and he puked right in the banquet Hall. Our wedding night was disaster. I held his head Over the toilet a til 5 . He never even noticed the Nightgown i spent $75 on.

Unpleasant memories in Arizona dear Art if Rar letter does t Wake pm a they1T  far wrist. Dear Ann Landers i say amen to Jake of port Gibson who complained about the disgusting habit of baseball players who Chew tobacco Ana spit anyplace that mils them. In1977 i wrote a letter to then baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Kuhn i office agreed with my observations but no tone thing was done to reprimand those players who continued with the filthy habit. By contrast police officers in peking China Fine citizens caught spitting on the Street and Force them to mop up after  print my letter. Perhaps we can make some inroads. If All your readers who agree that tobacco chewing and spitting on the Field is unsanitary and unsightly would write to the offending Partite and Tel them they Are setting a poor example for America s youth it might help. A letter to commissioner Peter Ueberroth would t be a bad idea either.dizzx3usted in Cape Coral Fla.

I was Happy about returning except i missed my family and friends to Volks marching castles smoked Beer the Roctz Gere the bae Kerei and new friends. Looking Back on almost two years of conversation with soldiers and family members one feeling kept being expressed. Take care of the Soldier family Are just words. Political rhetoric was used instead of just talk in Plain language. At limes i feel More like an indentured servant thana Soldier. And now my time to be a servant has been extended. This feeling has been expressed in numerous ways by Many of my Peers and numerous senior cos. Soldiers Are doing their time and moving onto better things. Thank you for a recent excellent letter. Being told you volunteered so quit complaining or you have to take it you signed on the dotted line is an excuse from a to Der r that s being treated like a servant not a Soldier. Soldier Aren t just the hired  Are professionals and deserve to be led not just bossed. It. Audie Murphy led by example. He did t ask his soldiers to do anything he would t to first. I invite All first sergeant and commanders to talk to each Soldier and family member about taking care of the Soldier family. I encourage each Soldier and family member to say what s in their heart. Talk to the people in the command position. They can help. Tell me How do i Tell the new private after he has please excuse the expression been screwed again by a last minute guard or detail or that family member who can t count on their Soldier gelling off when planned by the training schedule or being off on Sulu Day sunday because he she has to work weekends again that the . Army is the world greatest organization which it i that he she should re enlist my petition is that the stars and stripes publish this letter and let s see what the Soldier family Mem Ber says about this to the command. This is Alliare or problem not a unit problem because in deals with Usa eur soldiers. I was told upon arrival our priorities Are Mission. Machines.  maybe that s Why we have a drug alcohol problem. The army medical corps taught me the Soldier is most  the Soldier alone is non expendable. Maybe if you can t do the Job in a 12-hour Day 5-Day week you re asked to do too much. Maybe the command should look again. Soldiers Are human be Ings not machines. My Tours to the Republic of Vietnam taught retake care of the Soldier and everything else Wilt fall into place. Remember Christmas season when everyone a concerned about the Soldier family that s How it should be year round. Next time you look in the Mirror or you re in the Chapel ask yourself what have you done to take Cane of the Soldier family what will you do tomorrow sgt Ronald k. Mcwatty kill Staten Cieber Tistadt Germany reason for school s silence Rule explained i would like to address a subject that concerns the children of we Bruecken elementary school in Ger  wonder if the parents of children who remain at the school far lunch Are aware of the rules these Chil Dren Are made to abide by. First these children Are expected to remain completely silent during their 20-minute lunch  i perfectly understand the need for discipline and the need to Leach children to follow rules an behave in an orderly fashion i feel that these rules Are a bit too  children have been in class All morning and naturally look Forward to lunch time and socializing with their friends. According to inc rules this is not to be. So their pent up energies Are stifled yet another20 minutes until recess time which lasts for 20 min utes. Recess is something the children need. After 20minutes of play they Are ready to go Back to class relieved of All their pent up energies. But if the weather does not permit outdoor play these children Are taken to the gym for the 20-minute recess period. To play no Way when in the gym these children Are expected to observe the same rules As at lunch time.

I would like to know exactly who makes these rules Dodds or the school officials these people who Are paid to see to the education of our children could use a few lessons about children in my opinion. After All what Parent teacher or school official eats lunch in silence my guess would be none. So Why Are our children expected to come on these Are kids. Let s not deny them a Hance to play on bad weather Days or stifle their natural tendencies to Converse during lunch  is it going to Hurt or what. Of course we Don t want the children to Carryon in a wild manner but we really can t expect them to be silent either. Can t we go for a Happy medium name withheld we Bruecken a.
