European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 7, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday september 1986 the stars and stripes Amin launders dear Ann Landers Well Here we go again More reports on the increase of hunger  and nursing Home abuse All Over the country. A Good Way to eliminate these in  is to make each member of Congress live on the streets of new York for one month during the dead of Winter. Then make them live on welfare and Stamps in whatever apartments they can afford. Next Send them to the most run Down filthiest nursing Homes in the country for one solid month. The Only time those in authority and the Genera Public arc concerned about the above conditions Are when they Are affected by them. Because of our phobia in this country about people receiving welfare when they Don t deserve it we Are willing to let needy people go hungry. Those who shout let Charity take care of these folks not the government should be told that the shanties Are also suffering from Lack of funds. Mercer dear Mercer Why in Nash every member of Congress when several members have Beta battling for a Long time to get assist Ance for the hungry the homeless the elderly and the disadvantage a few who come to mind Are Stephen Solan d-n.y4 Mickey Leland a Texas Claude Pep per a Fla George Miller a Calif. Henry Waxman a Calif. Patricia Schroeder a Colo. Chalmers Wylie a Ohio Stewart Mckinney a Conn Dean Gallo r n it and Joe Diognardi . It s an outrage that people in America should be Hun Gry and live on the streets. Meanwhile the Federal government says it s the cities problem the cities say the must have Federal funds and both would like to put it on the Back of the states. By the time Winter Rolls around unless there is program in place to alleviate this shameful situation we May have a Anarch on Washington. Dear Ann Landers i must comment on the letter from feeling Bette already in fort Lauderdale about rude strangers who order others to smile. Sociologists have noted that women Are expected to smile More than men. Although i Don t walk around scowling it is unnatural for me to go around grinning like a Cheshire cat. As you probably know women Are treated with Les respect than men by service people. For example when i went to have my Wristwatch repaired recently the counter woman teased. You can have it Back tuesday if you  you can bet your life she would t have said that to a male. I happen to work in a Bank. If i ordered a customer who wanted to make a Deposit to smile i d be out of a Job. I am shocked and irritated by this Boorish  suggest a polite but effective response upfront in Seattle dear up sit prove More effective than an it you might say. Try dear Ann Landers How do we Tell our grandchildren that manners Are important without offending their parents they never say hello goodbye or thank  their behaviour at the table is Barbaric. Please advise. Skittish in Scottsdale dear skit go ahead and Tell pm. If their parents get mad. So what but Don t expect a miraculous transformation. Teaching manners requires persistence and constant vigilance pros a certain amount of receptivity. Good lock c 1996 Una America Syndicate Page 11 letter education assistance policy explained i am writing to address what i perceive As a problem relating to the educational assistance program As i exists Here in Usa eur. I recently signed up for a College course at the Gic Belstadt education Center and received tuition assist Ance. The army paid 75 percent of the tuition. Several Days later i attended a briefing by the chief Counselor and was informed that since i fell under the old i Bill since i am prior service i was eligible to use those benefits now and the government would Payfor my entire tuition costs. I was very glad to hear this since i wanted to take two courses each term but was not Able to afford the tuition for More than one at a time. Upon reporting to the registrar s office to sign up for another class utilizing my i Bill benefits i was in formed that in order to do this i must pay the entire tuition up front and then i would receive reimburse ment from the veterans administration. I was also informed that i could expect to wait five to six months to receive reimbursement. Since i would like to take two classes each term and each term lasts about two months i would have to pay out $900 to $1,300 in tuition before i would begin to see any a payments. This is excluding the Price of the textbooks for that period about $ 120. I can t speak for the average married enlisted scr ice member in Germany but 1 really Don t have $1,400lying around the House. The Counselor at the education Center stated that in the Continental United states there is a policy allowing the service member to take the class without paying tuition. He signs a promissory note stating he will make payment when he receives his a Check. This seems to be a logical solution. I came Back into the service to make it a career and i would like to be Able to use my i Bill benefits before they expire. By the time i retire they will be All but expired. Since the army is always promoting education in t there some Way they could make it easier for those ofus entitled to the old i Bill to use the benefits we have earned to get the College degree we desire to Prog Ress our careers spec. 4 William t. Clarkson Gle Belstadt Germany editor s note a spokesman from the office of the Deputy chief of staff operations he usar eur replies timelines for payment of tuition Are established by the school. A Check with the european institutions revealed that graduate students in Boston University and University of Southern California programs using a benefits can sign interest free promissory notes until the benefits Check is received. Students with undergraduate institutions using a benefits must pay the tuition  Short term Loans May be available through Community banking facilities to cover the Gap Between applying for and receiving a benefits. Driving test too confusing says Reader a up Story on Driver s manuals in the unite states caught my Eye. It stated that a gentleman surveying Driver s manuals across the country found that Many of these manuals use legalistic language Long sentences complicated sentence structures and words often beyond a person s Normal speaking  he should also take a look at the Usa eur Man Ual. My wife a foreign National who is not stupid did and took her Driver s test about seven times before passing. It is without a doubt the most unnecessarily abstruse piece of writing i be come across in years. Does anybody out there know what a rail bound vehicle is it s a train though Usa eur has decided that train is not the appropriate word to use eve though you and i would use  so american Drivers in Germany get to find out about  i Don t have the Book or i d write More. I just can think of any More examples. The dying Dollar and having to retake that Driver test after four years Are almost enough to keep a person recuperating in a letter from  my Mother enclosed an article about a 12-year-Oldboy who was burned Over 50 percent of his body to an accidental fire. Aeron Wisher is in a private intensive Cere room in e Hospital in Jesrue Wasll Deer across the elate from Hie family and Home in Spokane. Accords to the article. Aaron will be in the Hoe Portal indefinitely Moll because of the extensive skin grafts thai have been performed. What makes Aaron Happy right now Are greeting cards especially with pictures of cats and his parents Heve esked people from Spokane to Sand a card and cheer him up. I can t help but think How much More encouraging it would be for Aaron to receive a Lew Carda from across the world and to know that Many Othera were thinking of Hen.

One of the main goals is to lower the Reading level to the eighth Grade an remove All Tricky questions from the Sample test there has been a practice in Usa eur to help As Sist individuals whose Mother Tongue is not the English language. The practice is to have a Driver s testing clerk give the written test to them verbally. In this manner if an individual has difficulty under standing a word it can be explained by the tester. Additionally if any applicant has problem with a question during the testing nothing prohibits the tester from clarifying the question to them. In reference to your question about the use of the word rail bound vehicles there Are several types of rail bound vehicles " Leys Etc vehicles Wai chosen to represent Les.
