I am a senior citizen who eats out with friends a couple of times a week. We All have Good in i comes. When we go to a restau-1 rant one couple orders a single salad. She eats half of it and passes it to her husband and he finishes it. They do the same wit soup and dessert. They claim they cannot eat such Large per Lions. J if it is the amount of food that bothers them Why can t they ask for a smaller portion and be prepared to i would like to hear your opinion on this subject it looks to me As if they Are cheap and it is embarrassing to be in their company.  can Smur Yon jest Why should anyone throwout Rilke toed or Moa Eyt _ m Campb who Nuwt handle brie portions of food a Tot be Iba Redby to i pm  Mutt refine men t repant Tim Wood be infinitely air int Din to Tab non Tom Paounc bowl of a bump or plate Hulett Tassart desert  Ana Landers i decided to write after Reading in article from sympathetic in  i also have an emotionally disturbed Ion Jason who is 6 Yean old.

My main problem is that i m afraid he will seriously injure his two younger brother. I already caught him pushing the baby Down the stairs and kicking Biro. What i talk to Jason about Bis behaviour he rays he i sorry and wont do it again. Ten minute liter he is Mesay thing j am ashamed of.

Citizens 20 Yean of age with eighth Grade Edu cations or less Are functionally illiterate. Can you Tell me where these people live i find the figures mid -e.r. In Roanoke dear to according to Kama Norton at Lumbaca literacy acte Utah in us lowest rate of illiterates. The mate wife the highest percentage of Lulu Aba Lan crack of tic 3u penal Tesh Kue Hist West Virginia 27.5, i Arkadia 17 Percora. Page 11 letters involuntary Early out caused problems i am aware that the Gramm Rudman act to reduce the deficit is the main inducer of the appalling involuntary fit Way Early out system but 1 believe that the Amy is not aware of All the problems it causes or thai it Down t care As Long As the budget is sufficiently reduced. Ets expiration of term of service moves from Europe involve a lot of lying up of Loose ends. That takes tune and planning. When you receive notice that your time has gone from 129 Days to less than 60 at the drop of a hat it is going to cause problems. For one thing landlords consider a violation of a lease to be a violation of a lease no matter whose fault it is. They expect three months notice or they expect you to pay the difference. Another problem is that finance offices and Banks will not Cash your checks within 60 Days of your ets. If you have no notice that you arc All of a sudden 60 Days Short you obviously have no Lime to make other arrangements for your Money. Why did t the army state loud and Clear in the newspapers and on the radio that unless a specified number of people participated in the voluntary Early out program it would become involuntary it could have even told commanders to notify their Soldier that this was the Case. I know that if my husband and i had been Given thai information we would definitely have opted for the voluntary Early out rather than Lake the Chance of being the victims of a forced 60-Day Early out we had begun to make plans for Pur August return to the states finding a place to live jobs etc., but now we will be pressed to even find somewhere to store our furniture and household goods. I believe it is wrong of the army to remove people from their jobs and places of residence against their will. People plan on receiving that paycheck for As Long As they Are signed up. Could t the army have reduced or even temporarily impeded the Large re enlistment bonuses before it inflicted families with unplanned far months of unemployment the curtailment of one 125,000 Bonus would have allowed up to 12 families to receive their final two pay checks and remain where they apparently wanted to before the Lime. But even if the army refuses to acknowledge other ways to save Money and uphold its budget the very least it could have done would be to have told its soldiers who Are on Call 24 noun a Day that unless they made a Choice it would be made for them the consequences of which Are yet to be seen.

Dirt would t Shock general writer says a general was to land at our base and most of the tasks they had the Guys doing to prepare for the coming of the general were understandable. Some of the tasks they and them doing were paint ing buildings planting Flowers and painting Walls of rooms scheduled for renovation soon. When we were at Ongley fab va., they would polish streetlights paint grass that had turned Brown throw lamps Over ugly construction tights and paint buildings As Well. The things i have trouble understanding arc when the general is driven by the hangars the doors Are doted and the Guy that had worked in the owning and had got their uniforms dirty an sent Home to Berlin High class reunion it in us my cur to 0411 aim Rich he Sand out  or Phi nope Multi a United bahst��1 �la1m2.
