Dear Ann Landers the Man who invited eight different women to sleep with him under his parents roof reminded me of the family cat who drops it mice at the feet of its owner. It seems to me the Mother and father of this Youngfellow should try to understand Why their son needs to bring his conquests Home. Could he perhaps be telling them know that even though he was dumped by his col lege sweetheart he is still considered desirable by others instead of telling him to take his women friends elsewhere for romantic interludes his parents should be building up his shattered self esteem by telling him they think he is terrific and they Are proud of him no matter what. New Orleans fan dear new of your Point is Mil taken. Pro is the Parent should attempt to bolster the Young Man s tagging ego not instead or but in addition to Nitra Cring him to take Bis female mend elsewhere for the night if Yon recall they were embarrassed by his shamelessness and in is incur Ann Landers i Felt a Strong kinship to the woman who Wroe today How uncomfortable she Felt when the hostess in the restaurant asked just one of you i. Too am just one of me and there Are millions of others who Are also alone. But what Are widows an divorcees supposed to do hide i Hale to Cook for just myself. Being out among others helps overcome the loneliness. I feel As if i am part of the living world when i am people watching. 1 Ove to see folks Chat laugh and enjoy themselves.

Because we were in a hurry to get moved in and hews in a hurry to get moved out the housing Check out was done with an representative present before the movers were finished As a result Many boxes were still in the House and the House was not clean. However the old tenant assured us the Irr Csenka to the landlord and my wife and i that the House would be very clean. He stated that he had a cleaning team coming in Forone or two Days As needed. He also stated that he would be present the Day we moved in to insure that the House was clean. The landlord on the basis of the old tenant s word gave him his Security Deposit Back along with his in Terest moving in my wife and i discovered that the House was filthy. I cannot claim to be the cleanest person in the world but this House was actually repulsive. As an example in look me eight hours and two bottles of formula 409 to clean the Kitchen. It look my wife another three to clean the stove. The remainder of the House is much the same. I have contacted but they said they cannot help. The landlord agreed that the House is dirty but is unwilling and 1 agree with him to pay a cleaning team. He wants us to keep track of the hours we spend cleaning and he is going to attempt to get Money fro the old tenant to pay us.

General s comment not meant As insult i must Lake violent exception to the demeaning characterization of taxpayers whose monies support the military As Joe the air Force four Star who said this is one of the Many military minds who have been supported in grand style Over the Yean by these same Are the same Joe six packs who got the Mili tary s backsides out of the Sling in Korea and the same Joe Sis packs who will be called in again to do the same thing when the military mind creates another Bay of pigs. 1 think he owes the readers of your newspaper a apology. Bob Bartlett but Burgas Germany editor s note Gen. Andrew p. Lose com Mander. Air Force air training come Randolph fab Texas replies thank you for the Opportunity to respond to a recent letter you received from one of your readers concerning comment i made during an interview with Stan a stripes reporter. The specific comment Vona Reader took exec Polo to Issue might react to news Aln Tea about Utah retire ment benefits for military members who retire at the 20 year certainly did not intend to defame or degrade any of my fellow americans by this comment. 1 regret that your Render apparently chose to take the comment out of context. Reader urges others to report bad Drivers first i would like to congratulate a recent writer for having the courage to say something to the operator of the car that drove through the crosswalk she the pedestrian was using. Ii seems that not Many Drivers know that the Stripe crosswalks give the pedestrian the right of Way. Second i would like to encourage her and other who Are unsure of what action to Lake or Are timid of taking action to take that action. It May seem like hassle but the Only Way to get attention is to make the problem known. What action can be taken in this Case get the car s License plate number. Stop at you local Law enforcement desk and tile a complaint. The Security police will help you fill out the report. The citation will be served by them to the owner of the car. If enough people get concerned enough to act this kind of thing can be stopped. Third i would like to congratulate the Security forces that protect us. These Guys put up with harassment from the people they Are protecting and still do a great Job they also put up with some Eft he worst conditions and longest hours without degrading their performance. If we As citizens can help them in the Way i described above in just makes sense 10 do 0. Capt. Michael j. Wingberg Spang Ablen a Germany pen pals i m on in fed minted a . 170ttxvs who i Jymm.
