In Modesto Calif Den a Hurt Ike letter to the editor of Lbw by my comment terrible playthings i am appalled to find the heft setter to children from 4 to 10 Yean old is garbage Paul kick cards. The card depict mutilated dolls with Nama like Pat Spott and Beaky the children take these cards to school and give them to student they fee Moa resemble them. I waited for a year As a Public health nurse in Achild abuse prevention program. One of our goal was to bolster he fragile self esteem of children. Imagine an insecure slightly Pudgy 8-year-old who Geta the card Large Marge depicting a grossly overweight dolt underwear snowing Rolls of fat huffing her face. The Back of one card is a Puzzle that depict a boy with a Black Eye and blood pouring out of his note and Mouth. This leaches our children out violence is acceptable even funny. Peg Krueger Manteca child abuse prevention auxiliary dear readers any Parent who sees these curds in the hands of his or her child has moral obligation to take them away destroy them and explain that such cruel and hurtful teasing will no be tolerated. A Parent Nho would buy such a card is canc of arrested development and Sadis tic to Boot dear Ann Landers last week you printed another letter from a Daugh Ter in Law who covered for her husband so his Mother would continue to believe he was a wonderful son. I was one of those daughters in Law who bought the present and sent the cards. His Mother never knew that he haled to visit her. I literally dragged him there. One Day i came Home earlier than expected and found my husband " in the act with his Lover a Guy he confessed that there had always been a Man in his life and said he was relieved that i had caught him. We decided to divorce. He begged me not to Tell anyone the reason because it Woula break his Mother s heart. In All fairness he was a decent person and agreed to go along with his request. 1 have Tince Hcan from Many sources that his Mother cells everyone we were divorced because f was a. Miserable Cook and a terrible housekeeper. I have no intention of blowing his cover but in t ii funny not Ovyn please hat you have. It s called character dear Ann Landers. My Boyfriend and i Are planning to be married in december. The Only dates we could get for the Ball Man an the 8lh or the 22nd.a a choose the 22nd, it will fall pm the second bin Day of our baby girl my question is would it be stir to her if we got married on her birthday i by the mud u too dose to the Holiday. Letter of criticism prompts responses i must write in response to the woman in Italy who told us to shop on the Economy. This is my third tour in Germany and 1 can communicate quite Well on the Economy find do shop on the Economy. However there Are quite a number of food items you simply cannot find on the Economy. Try finding ethnic foods. They Are unheard of. The few Oriental stores have very Small inventories and i have never yet found a store that Sells mexican or South american items. If the commissary did t Stock these items there would be no place to get them. Try finding a substitute for a Bagel. There in t one they Don t even know what they Are Over Here. As for being tied to the commissary in the United Stales i could go to any supermarket and find All the Basic ingredients 1 needed plus Many speciality items. 1 did t need to go to the commissary. Everyone in the world docs i cat like europeans do. Think about All the of her cultures that Are part of the United states. Main j. Rogow Stuttgart i d like to respond to the letter writer who refers to most military military wives As spoiled and having no Yankee ingenuity. I Learned to survive on Nan Lucket Island our first duty station. I scrubbed diapers by hand in a tub made homemade noodles soups stews breads tartar sauce cocktail sauce etc., due 10 Many shortages. Lived in a travel trailer for two months with two Young children. I taught myself to a Rochul and do needlework out of boredom. Now i am stationed in is Gonella Sicily and what our commissary decant Nave i shop for of the Market or at the in Rossos. Make my own or simply do with out. As for clothes i shop at the markets or at our local Thrift shop. Look around because quite a few women out there Are self sufficient. Rosemary Speece a Gonelli As Sicily our commissaries and exchanges Are Here for our convenience and if there is an item available to us through them then there is no reason Why it should t be kept on hand. I am thankful for our commissary and Exchange also our clinics. There arc some things 1 do not like on the Economy and their Are things 1 do like and can t afford. There Are military families that have serious medical problems thai o pharmacist who Speaks a Little English can t help with and our doctors Are very much needed. All military wives have to adjust to foreign cultures and i think we handle it very Well even though some of us Don t have Yankee ingenuity and frankly we an get along great without it. What makes you think that military wives could t handle a genuine crisis we have been doing it forbears and As Long As there is a military we will continue to handle it quite nicely thank you. In closing i have an excellent recipe for sour Cream that my family loves and sour Cream is readily Avail Able at our commissary. Cheryl Gama not Zweig Wiecken Germany writer says racism problem is unsolvable i am writing this letter in an Effort to Clear up a problem that can never be solved entirely. That is racism in America yes racism is going to be around because you can t have nationalism in its True form when you Don t have naturalism. In other words America has so Many people of Dif Ferent races and from different cultures and Back grounds thai we will always have a few confused per sons who think their race should be the one above everyone else. It is Only natural for each race As a whole to want to Rise As High As it can. We 1 am saying chinese hispanic Black White Indian whatever the race All have to work together to build a nation. When All our president have been of one race of people something in t right. When our state department s policy making posit it is without a Black representative thai tells me that the White wan is the one running this country. Because this is a position where foreign policy is handled and decisions arc made fora world thai is by majority non White. Make to desc statements not 10 stir up commotion but to enable people to realize the Only Way this nation or any nation is going to stand tall and proud is to gel off that racial division. One Way of doing that is perhaps diversifying who we put in certain positions. At the same time we should encourage at who make up the United Stales total population to real lie this is one nation not one nationality striving to provide happiness peace and Unity to every one born in this country or the world for that matter.
