My husband and 1 lure been married a few months Short of year and it get along very Well together. The on or scr out arguments we be had Are about Bis Mother. The woman has tendency to look for fights adhere let Len Are full of Intuit. When we talk on the phone i am n nervous wreck Irving to defend myself gains her outrageous accusations. I hardly know Ihbe woman Ann. I be me her Only twice. She lives alone in another stale. Fred says i should Deal directly with her because he does t want to be in the Middle. I appreciate his need to remain Neutral but every time she Calls up i Start to shake and want to hand the phone to him. He says you handle it which makes me thin that he is afraid of her too mis Mother is a very combative person and woe be it unto anyone who crosses her. 1 would give anything to get along with my Mother in Law but i am beginning to believe u is Lell me How to handle the problem with Taci and respect Fred is a wonderful person and i know he is As unhappy As i urn about my inability to have a goo relationship with his Mother.

Editor s note a Page 1 article Toviy details the latest information in the proposed Uke Orer of claw i Berenges torn by cafes. I have nol read although i did miss a. Tew papers any editorials concerning cafes taking Over the class i stores. I feel it is a Bas idea. It has been slated thai in is a moneymaker for mwr.1 really Hope the Powers thai be Wilt let it be. 1 feel if cafes takes u Over prices Wilt increase so percent or More due to cafes having to show a prof it. U is food for thought. Name withheld i certainly Hope that Chuck Vinch i article. Test May Lead to cafes control of class i was incorrect. If in was Correct it Points directly to a blatant conflict of interest. The article mat end Ricilly that the army a decided to allow cafes to do an in depth study of class i stores to allow us Loee How much Money cafes would be Able o realize from operating the is this nol tantamount to allowing the employee to conduct the review of Hii own Job in order to support an upgrade cafes clearly has an interest in inc out come of this Survey. Perhaps cafes could do a Beller Job but Safe should never be considered let alone be allowed to do the Survey. Cafes Clear interest in the outcome of the Survey a conflict of interest. Any procedure like this must be conducted by a disinterested party. Just imagine the political quagmire which can and Nusl develop if in Lorn sout thai cafes makes some innocent error in its Survey which significantly biases the finding in its favor. In would then be impossible for cafes to prove that the error was innocent. Or Turk. Pullen Heidelberg i am deeply disturbed by the oven and Covert attempts of cafes to Lake Over the Usa eur class i Agency. For anyone who would like to know the class i Agency has contributed 1243 million to Usa eur morale welfare and recreation programs. This amounted to Over s10 million alone in fiscal year 1987. In 1980 inc profits of class i exceeded a fets contributions to Usa eur for that same year. A recent Media article announced thai the rape formula for such contributions is 4.4 cents on the Dollar split Between army and air Force where is the fiscal logic on this paint if cafes takes Over Ilis inconceivable 10 me thai the mathematics of this alone would nol be reason to scuttle this senseless takeover of class i after More than 40 years of service to he usar eur Soldier and the building of a highly profitable and efficient organization i see no reason for corporate raiders from cafes to Siphon class i Mon ies out in Usa eur to the Benefit of cafes. The economics of this action regardless of High Echelon decisions escape me. Usa eur is the loser and i and Many other soldiers and customers deeply res Cal it. Morally the Usa eur soldiers Are the shareholders of the class i fund because it was they who started in in North Africa in 1943 and it is Theu Sarteur soldiers spendable income which has Given class i the asset values of $22 million. Consider also inc other effects of this action such us what will happen to class i employees t hear that already some Over zealous cafes managers have been terrorizing local Oats i employees with dire predictions of combining i milians to eliminate or downgrade jobs. Also the Tais i Agency s equipment and build Ings Worth minions of dollars must nol be Giveaway As planned this is another Windfall for cafes at the expense of the Usa eur Soldier who right fully owns a share of the class i Agency. You can be assured also of an increase in the Alco hol abuse problems after in cafes takeover. Liquor will appear in Woodland and other cafes outlets food products will be on inc shelves of class i stores. Of course this creates the exposure potential to alcoholics children and persons who do nol Pur Chase liquor nor do they care to be exposed to such products.,. Finally remember hat inc history of cafes takeovers involves either an immediate or a gradual but inevitable increase in prices for Eia Niple the pm Gas stations the Heaters pm clothing stones and Community sports and video outlets. Or course there Are the regular letters to the editor detailing recurring incidents of employee arrogance discourtesy and ignorance. These Are Only � few of hit reasons Why i think class i should remain a Usa eur organization but the More important reason Are thai cafes can not do it belter or cheaper. So Why change for the Sake of change to muddle up the one organization Inmar which works so Well and is a proven Benefit to the Usa eur Soldier name withheld Heidelberg this is Cyl another example of How Given inc Opportunity cafes will control our buying decisions and by Extension our Quality of lift. I Don t t now what die cafes proposition is which enables them to make such a proposal but you can bet the interest of cafes is above the incr Sci of the people. All pc has to do is observe the present cafes operations conlious Oil of stocks. Restrictive product selection and arbitrary pricing policies. Keep in mind i m talking about the cafes big daddy system nol the people. The folks work ing for cafes arc great but the system it of needs a hard look. The answer Here it hut if the present class of system needs improvement improve in dry l turn in Over loan already overloaded Oiga Bizalion which has proven inefficiencies. Sec.
