European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 28, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday september 28, 1966 the stars and stripes Ann Landers Page 11 letters dear Ann Landers "b.r. In Evanston bemoaned the fact that 30 percent of the women in the United states will live out their lives without male i 1 companionship because there of just Aren t enough men to go f around. Granted War is part off the reason but it is also a fact i that fewer males Are born than it females. Also there is a higher Jeff mortality rate among males from i i birth to age 21. I have a solution i believe would be workable if you got behind it. Please hear me out. Many of us males have enough physical stamina passion and emotional stability to take care of two women. All we heed is for society to clean up its attitude toward mistresses. I visualize a Man having a wife and a mistress living in the same Home with equal respectability Given to both. Presumably the two women would be Good friends. Of course it would be the Man s responsibility to choose a mistress who gets along Well with his wife. The work would be equally divided and it would be understood that the Man would alternate bed partners without risking jealousy complaint or retribution. A longtime popular argument for marriage is that two can live As cheaply As one. It might also be argued that three can live As cheaply As two especially if two of the three have full time careers. All we need now is society s approval of bringing the other woman out of the closet and putting her on equal footing with the wife. As a male i think it could work nicely and solve a serious social problem. . In fort Wayne dear fort Wayne As female i am not surprised that the solution came from � male. A few hitches that Cross my mind Are a follows it would not be enough for society to clean up its attitude toward  we would have to take the Law against bigamy off the books. Any legislator who attempted this would be a dead Duck. Monogamy is the Cornerstone on which our family Structure is based. You say the two women would have to be Good  yeah How Long do you think the Friendship would last with both women sharing the same Man the Day the other woman is taken out of the closet and Given the same status As the wife will be the Day the american family Falls completely apart and Between you and me mister it s not in such great shape the Way things stand. Dear Ann Landers my brother called recently to say he was bringing his new Girlfriend for dinner. He explained that she was Oriental shy and unaccustomed to american ways. He asked that we not ask her any personal questions because Orien tals consider personal questions rude. I told him i would abide by his wishes because i did not want to rile him. My brother has a violent temper and is easily upset my husband did however ask the Young woman sever Al questions about her family and her Homeland. I did not consider his questions too personal. They were the Sam questions he would have asked an american woman. She answered in a pleasant manner giving Many details in a charming Way. We thought she was a delightful person. Now my brother is mad at my husband and will not speak to him. I have asked a few people where i work and they said my brother had no right to make such a request. I would be interest in what you think about this situation. Confused in Stockton dear Slock if your husband s questions were of a general nature and not prying or intimate they would not be considered offensive to an Oriental or anyone else. Methinks your brother is looking for a reason to be mad at your has band. 1946. News America Syndicate morale support hiring policy questioned i am writing about the practice of extending civilian employees in the same Job for More than 10 years. Here in Stuttgart there Are several is morale support employees who have been in the same Job same facility for As Long As 10 years. Racy seem to spend More time ingratiating them selves to the Powers who approve their extensions than they spend doing their jobs. Perhaps they love working in Europe just As Many people do but most people realize that it is better forthe system and for their own personal growth if they rotate to the . Periodically and then return to Europe. If they were really working As they should they would be burned out after a five year tour. My questions arc what is the official policy concerning the unlimited number of extensions granted to some individuals How Long can a morale support employee remain in the same position when serving overseas would t the military Community be better served if new individuals with new ideas were brought into the system periodically the 22nd amendment to the Constitution limits the president to eight years of service in the same Job. Should t this same policy apply to morale support employees i think serious consideration should be Given to de Nying further extensions for these homesteaders. The present system is Breeding mediocrity and i want More than that for my tax Dollar. Name withheld Stuttgart editor s note Carolyn White civilian personnel division office of the Deputy chief of staff personnel he Usa eur replies thank you for your questions concerning the practice of extending civilian employees. One of the most important criteria for employees being extended is their receiving a performance rating of fully successful or better. Therefore the employees de scribed in your letter Are meeting management s expectations for performance of their duties if they have been extended. Now to answer your first question of what is the official policy concerning the unlimited number of extensions granted to some individuals there is no limit on the number of tour extensions that May be approve for employees subject to the department of the army rotation policy. Commanders May approve tour extensions of employees at their discretion As Long As the employee  rated fully successful or better and is current in the knowledge skills and abilities needed in the Job has successfully adapted to the overseas environment and management has a continuing need for the employee s services. The answer to your second question of How Long can a morale support employee remain in the same position when serving overseas?1 is the same As that Given for your first question. The basis for requesting and approving tour extensions is strictly a management determination. The employee s organization and position Are Only relevant As they relate to organizational efficiency admission oriented issues that management considers when determining whether or not to request and approve an Extension. Your third question asks would t the military Community be better served if new individuals with new ideas were brought in the system periodically this question Calls for a subjective answer because of the adverb better therefore a yes or no answer is inappropriate. Our communities always Benefit from new individuals with new ideas. But that is not to say that we do not also Benefit from employees who have several Yean of service in an organization nor is that to say that these employees do not contribute new ideas. In summary the current policy Grants management the latitude to maintain a qualified and stable work Force.
