European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 17, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Sunday May 17, 1987 the stars Ano stripes Page 11 aim Landers dear Ann Landers Here it yet another entry in the never ending dialogue regarding the male and the female and who should do what for m not referring to etiquette which Fork to us but rather the Way we treat one another on a daily basis. Good manners has nothing to do with gender. It is. Ordinary Courtesy kindness and concern for others. Good manners is a Young Man offering to help an elderly woman the Young woman helping the gentleman with two canes Cross at a Busy intersection. It is a child asking if he Mayst there or if the seat i taken. It is an elderly woman offering her Seal to a handicapped child or � Middle age woman with toddler and a full grocery cart. It is yielding to the airhead who it jaywalking. It is accepting help when you Don t need it in order to make someone feel useful. It asking those around you if they mind if you smoke before lighting a cigarette. Men and women of All Ages need to treat each other with consideration kindness and Courtesy. This is what it Means to be dear Ion i Cwm at in talk it better myself. Letters suet As f Yam Tare to ranted me Bow much Wodora and just Plain cum sense there is oat there. Dear Ann Landers seven years ago i left France and came to work in the United slates. I married an american and we no have two children a a year Oid boy and a 3-Monlh-old the Day our son was bom i spoke to him in French. He did t Start to talk until he was almost 3.iwas concerned. The dry care director said it was be came he was confused by my talking to him in then on 1 spoke to him Only in English. I am sorry to say that now he does not speak any French atall. What should i a about our daughter should speak no French to her unfit she docs o school and then Send her to my parents in France for summer vacations i am Gettine a lot of free advice from my friends Andi relatives and Don t know what to do.

She should then be Profic feint in both Lan Gna by the Tom she Goe to kindergarten dear Ann Landers was tickled to death to see that letter in your col limn about people who pop their chewing gum drum their Finis to on a Dot or Hubli hum to themselves clip their fingernails Dick their dentures and breathe Heavil i used to think something was wrong with me be a cause 1 get very annoyed when people i work with do i those things. Now i know i am Normal. Hooray How about you Ann do these things get on your nerves e your Public in Hayward a Calif. 5 Dewhar v i ban an extremely High threshold of tolerance for in to they Doat of tar me at All but gun pop Plant sets my Teeth on America urged to end terrorism at Home Webster defines terrorism As the systematic use of terror. Terror is defined As a stale of intense fear. Well America we be got it problem no i m no referring to the terrorists overseas but rather the ones living Nghil inside of America. Listen to any nightly newscast and you la know what i m talking about. Every night we hear stories dealing with rapes Mur Ders robberies need i go on i often find myself wondering Why we american soldiers and their families Are living thousand of Miles away from Home in sometimes terrible living conditions and All for the purpose of protecting the Freedom and the rights of United states citizens. Her Ewe Are standing up for your beliefs and your safety while you re Back there killing each other ii does make an awful lot of sense Tome. Just recently some deranged Lunatic went on shooting spree at two supermarkets in Florida and killed tin innocent victims. Not Only that but he also held hostages for hours. No doubt that same Lunatic will plead in tarty and then what will we do with that terror it Well do the same thing we did with John him or Charles Martian our society Bis actually provided them with a roof Over their headband put food in their bellies Heck Why not All they Slid was to Kofl a few people and attempt to murder the president heaven forbid if someone or some group from an a Thor country should attempt to do the same. What would we do to them we d bomb hem no question asked concerning their sanity docs that mean that it i of for an american to kill another american just along As he s insane but it s not of for a foreigner to Doit the military meal hrs overseas can Only do so much. We can protect you to the Best of our ability Over Here Bat we can t be in both places at be got to Start helping out if you Don t have the time or ambition to sit Dowland write to your statesmen and congressmen to Tell then you re sick of baying the perpetrators while the victims Are being buried in the ground i really Don know what is wrong with you. Believe me once you have lived in a foreign country not visit but live you la Stop taking America for granted. A have so much to be grateful for and yet we Are the ones who arc acting uncivilized. Russia Iran Iraq and Syria Aren t going to have to worry about coming up with a new Way to destroy us we re doing it to ourselves so Back to my original question Why do we have soldiers willing to enlist Why do we agree to live in lands we d rather not even visit to be honest on More lira one occasion i was t quite sure of the answer to that myself but then some very special Ameri cans took the time to write to my husband and me and provided that answer. It All started when i wrote a Small article for our Hometown weekly newsletter the Naples record. The artic1" thanked family members and friends of Ameri can vols for keeping in touch with them during their enlistments. It Laid them How important it is for mor ale to receive those letters from Home. It s always Nice to know thai someone cares right three weeks after the article was printed we received 24 letters from the third graders of Naples elementary school. We have never met one of thanked us for being Here and fighting for them. One Little boy even gave us his Telephone num Ber in Case we needed him to come Over Here and help that is All the reason we need for being Here. So yes we will keep coming Here and maintain you Freedom bul by the same Token could you Ahard us the same decency by giving those children and others like them a country to be proud of and a future to look Forward to give us something to come Honie to. Treat the terrorists like terrorists and use the Money that is spent on heir Well being on cancer re search or better yet on the years of therapy their victims require. Stop wasting it an the likes of Iheme atm Jrex. Incur Elk Turkey stripes1 Choice of photo offends Reader i am writing in response to a recent photo which pictured an australian cattle dog swimming with a cockatoo which appeared alive in in Mouth. This photo at first glance was pleasing and brought Happy thoughts to mind of two animal enjoying a swim together or maybe of a successful Rescue Effort by the dog. When i read the caption i found the Bird and hundreds other like it were wasted with a Shotgun by the dog s owner a Sunflower former because the Bird were destroying his crop. Don t misunderstand Why 1 am so upset. I realize the cockatoos Are threatening inc Farmer s livelihood and Are probably thought of with no More regard or respect than blackbirds Are by american com please consider who your readers arc. The Birds Are placed in the category of Peu by Many Are purchased in pet stores Given names trained and made a pan of the family. If this photo held any newsworthy information for your readers 1 May understand Why you chose to use an entire half Page on the picture. As i tee it there i enough bad news we Are made aware of because we need to know about it. In the future i ask you to us your extra space to feature photos that will brighten my Day not ruin my breakfast. Katrina p. Holloway Vai Wingfi Germany writer suggests solution to copier dilemma synd Ciu cru1w� i sympathize with a recent writer who tried to get copies made of something for private purposes be cause i have been in the same situation. The alternative getting copies done on the Economy is expensive besides German paper sizes Are different. Since use of government copiers for non official purposes is unauthorized could t the government either a. Designate one copier in each Community As being open to tie Public. It could charge a nominal fee for each copy and give the profits if any to morale sep port b. Contract with a local print shop to take on Ameri can customer and have Standard american paper sizes available. If the need for copy machines in the Community snot satisfied government machines will continue to be used for non official purposes.
