Divorced women Are the nations new  the husband now gets 50 per cent of the assets thanks to women s lib. They outsmarted them selves when they won the Battle for equal rights. They lost More than they gamed. Fit did t matter that i put my k husband through school and postponed childbearing until i was 31. He has a  cams three times As much As i do. I paid off his student Loans and moved with him All Over the country so he could pursue his career. When my grandmother died and left me is 1,000 it was considered a joint asset in the decree. He got half. I am trying desperately to keep this House. The court said i had to pay my husband 50 percent of what it s Worth. I am now trying to take care of myself and two children on $ 12,500 a year. If i did t get child support for the kids i would be at the poverty level. I work nine hours a Day and leave the kids with stranger. I have missed out on All the wonderful Joys of raising my children. I am so Busy trying to keep body and soul together there is no time or Energy for sex  if my Story sounds depressing let me assure you i am one of the Lucky ones. Some women have no child support because their husbands run from one slate to another and nobody can catch them. Please Don t Sug Gest taking the bums to court. The cases Are backed up or two years in our state. I Hope you print this letter As a rebuttal to that goo who said divorced women with children Are haying a Ball. I am living through the experience and it is just Plain awful. Tough sledding in Indiana dear sledding no one who knows anything about the subject would Ever say women fare better than men in the divorce court. Here and there one might find an example but itis rare indeed. The vast majority of divorced women with children have much More difficult time than the Rex husbands. In addition to the obvious problems of loneliness chances for remarriage Are infinitely smaller for divorced woman. Whoever said life is unfair must have had this segment of society la  Ann Landers i read some answers a teen Ager can give when offered alcohol. They Are from the National Institute on alcohol abuse.

Forces Page 11 letters uht milk made its Way to dining facilities i am writing this letter in Hopes of getting an honest answer to a serious question. That is Why has our mess Hall been serving uht milk every Day for the last three weeks we always had fresh milk every Day before. Now i won t even cat in the mess Hall. Uht milk tastes terrible. I can Sec drinking it in the Field where refrigeration is hard to come by but not in Garrison. Also most of the time the packages Are out dated. Today the milk Cartons were dated two month overdue. Milk is important to me especially at breakfast. I look Forward to ice cold milk in a Glass and on my Cereal but no More. I la go to the snack bar now where i can get real fresh milk not Long Shuf life milk that s outdated. I have witnesses that have seen the outdated packages in our mess Hall. Name  Germany editor s note Sarah Helms . Nutritionist. Office of the Deputy chief of suit logistics a Usa eur replies there is an explanation Why Usa eur dining facilities have been serving Ultra High temperature uht milk lately in place of fresh milk. Defense subsistence Region Europe dare is required to boy uht milk from the continent United Stales Conns because of the Dairy lobby in con Gress. Dare can Only buy european uht milk in Case of a shortage. Orders for milk have to be placed Man months in Advance. Because of this shipping time is increased. Due to unusual weather rain and mild temperatures reformer "86 was ended earlier than planned. This caused a huge excess of uht milk in theater that had to be used fairly quickly. Dare tried various approaches to sell or donate the uht milk but without  Only solutions were to throw away approximately $1.5 million Worth of milk or utilize it through the troop dining facilities. Dare also asked the various services Navy army and air Force to help reduce the excess uht milk. The Navy helped by buying substantial quantities Ofutt milk and commissaries also bought some for re Sale. However Usa eur had to take the majority of the uht milk and utilize it through the troop dining facilities. As to the question concerning the Date on the milk. Itis Best used by Date not an expiration Date. Veterinarians regularly inspect the milk for  milk which appears to be bad is placed on medical hold and later condemned if necessary.
