Dear Ann Landers this is about the letter from ., who wrote "1 Don t understand Why parents seem duty bound to leave an equal amount of their estate to their Chil 1 want to emphasize the Wisdom of this practice parents who bequeath different amounts to their Chil Dren or who bypass children in favor of grandchildren often sow seeds of hostility among their offspring after their death. Exceptions Are children whose physical or mental health needs Are unusual such As chronic illness men Tal retardation and children like S sister who have assumed the financial Burden of caring for elderly parents. However even in these cases parents need to explain and discuss wills with their children to avoid surprises and promote acceptance of the terms. I think you will find my position is the one taken by most therapists trained to Deal with family problems. Nancy a family therapist West Hartford Conn.

This letter is in response to the writer who fell run Ning was of Little value for the army. Pint although it is basically True that being a Good runner does t make you an outstanding Marcher this is hardly an indictment of running. Distance running gives you a solid base that enables you to quickly make the transition from one sport to another. It builds general strength and stamina. To become a Good infantry Soldier you must do extensive Road marches As Well As land navigation weapons qualification and other skills you would use in combat. A second Point of the writer s was that running in creases the ask of heart attack. It is True that during periods of activity the risk of heart attack is greater than during rest it is also True however that people who work their hearts have an Overall Tower Chance of heart attack than their sedentary counterparts. Surveys have repeatedly shown that Active people Thote who do aerobic workouts three Days a week for at least 30 minutes live longer and Are More healthy than those who do not. Running or brisk walking is one excellent Way to meet this criteria. Although the late Jim Fixx died during a run he had a history of heart problems and had probably added years to his life through his running. A third Point made was that running is damaging to your skeletal system. Again evidence Doet not Back this up. Recent studies have shown thai people 65 and older who run consistently have less degeneration of Bones and cartilage than Itose who do no running at All. Running has become an integral part of the army it program for some Good reasons. It is a cheap easy Way to generally improve fitness and can be accurately graded on the part. Running cannot Lake the place of Road marches or other combat related training but can be a Boon to anyone s health and stamina. The soviet Soldier the writer mentioned might not be Awe stick by a Quick 10-Kiiomeler Lime but he would surely rather face an out of shape sloth who believed wives tales about exercise being bad for you than a Well conditioned Soldier in the . Army lit u. James e. Clark plan ascus Germany i will Start by saying that i am a runner logging any where from 30 to 40 Miles per week. I be been running about six years and started while i was in Korea. I went to Korea weighing about 160 pounds nine pounds within my allowable weight. When 1 returned from Korea i weighed 120 pounds and i ale the meals a Day my weight loss was directly attributed to All those Miles i ran. Face it. A body with less fat makes for a More efficient heart. More fat More area to pump blood. Less fat less area less work live longer. The writer says studies have been done showing that running does t prolong your life. Or rather he says studies have been done and this has never been proven. On the contrary a study by or. Ralph inf fun Bargor of Massachusetts showed that moderate and daily exercise including running reduced the risk of coronary artery disease and in some cases reversed it. If that docs l prolong your life or Slop a potential heart attack then i m Reading something wrong Here. Running has t made me invincible just healthier ii has also helped me Deal with stress a Proneker of High blood pressure. My unit had a Road March last year. I out distanced All the non runners and All of the body builder types. Why because i had stamina stamina Gai Ned by running Long distances. Of running does t help you build stamina Why has my unit asked me logo to French commando school because they say you have the. Stamina and strength to Complete so much for that argument. I will close by telling you a Story. When i came Here i had an no Friend Tell me it la never pay to he smoked and was borderline being Over the weight Standard. Now he enters Road races when he can has reduced his smoking and is working toward quilling in hurts his times he say Sand has lost so much weight that he does t worry about the weigh standards any More. This weekend he will run his first half Marathon. He will More than Likely finish in. His goal is to some Day run the Western Stales 100 Miler. The writer May not like running because in hurts or it s Boring. That s Fine. I Don t like to Hurt much either. I know 1 feel better after i m done running. I feel better about everything. Staff sri. Dennis j. Airhart Heidelberg remember those who serve Soldier asks i had the Honor of being in a Junior Roth program in High school to taught me thai being Loyal and a iving respect for those who arc and have been in the military Are two of the most important characteristics a person can have. The closing words of the National Anthem Are the land of the free and the Home of the those Are not hollow words for the citizens of this great country.
