I. I am a kidney transplant Recip-1tent and i work with the kidney foundation in Maine. We Dis tribute donor cards but your i readers should be told that the Icard alone in t enough. Your next of Kin s permission is re-1quired at the time of donation. This Means if you want to make sure your organs Are taken you must Tell you loved ones now so when the time comes they will inform the doctors of your wishes. Some physicians Are reluctant to approach the family of a potential donor for fear they might seem insensitive but if the doctors Don t ask and the family does t offer the Chance to save another life is  this wish in your will is useless. Organs must be taken within hours of death. By the time the will i opened and read it is too late. The donor card is still important because it can be Good conversational springboard to let your family know How you feel. Such a discussion May seem de pressing but it is one you owe your family because in the event of sudden death Organ donation might Bethe Only Way they can get Solace and Comfort from the loss. It can help them to accept the positive aspect of something that seems unbearably cruel and unfair. Please Ann Tell your readers to Send for a donor card sign it and carry it in their wallets.

Longhair and beards went out about six or so weeks ago. To convince the Sharp Well informed american Public of today that one is smart and proper one must most definitely look Sharp obviously impossible for bearded men they could never be smart and proper.

David Christensen Gle Belstadt Germany he s proud of air traffic control training Back in the fall of 1984 i strolled into the army recruiting office to land an air traffic control Job. The thoughts of living in Europe continuing my education and an exciting Job were too much to turn Down. I enlisted As a Tower controller that week. I finished Basic training and was shipped directly to fort Rucker to begin at training. I was surrounded mostly by Young men and women in their late teens just out of High school about to face their first real academic Challenge. The school was a Challenge. After five months of intense training and graduation i was sent to an army air Field to begin my training for a facility Tower rating. I was sent to an Airfield in Southern Germany. It Hasa diverse mixture of traffic and is not Only challenging but fun to work. All the Young men i work with Are intensely proud of their Job in the army. Controlling traffic is a com Mon thread which keeps morale up despite Low  duty and various personnel problems that afflict Many service personnel. I conducted a Survey of controllers and found Job importance and ability As a controller were Given the highest Marks. Job Challenge Job satisfaction and the safety of the army at system received High Marks also. These results support the notion that army control lers Are Job oriented and receive satisfaction knowing that they Are a very important and useful part of army aviation. I am proud to be serving my country overseas wit Hyoung professionals who put their at Job above everything else and provide the army with a very economical and useful service for its aviation Branch.
