They will be i years old in june. Our son according 10 the evaluation of Sev eral people whose opinions 1. Trust does not scent ready to Start kindergarten in the fall. Both Are equally smart but the Girt is very much at ease in the academic environment while the boy seems unable to handle in my wish is to hold both Chil f Dren Back another year in order to give the boy an Opportunity to mature. I have been criticized for this. Friends feel that the girl is clearly ready to go to kindergarten and should be allowed to do so. My feeling is that twins should slay together at least in the beginning. 1 want to avoid the negative Impact on their relationship if my daughter were allowed to go on without her brother. This is a heavy decision that is sure to have serious repercussions for years to come. We can t afford to make a mistake.

Readers say teens should take initiative we re writing in response to the letter titled teen Ager has a message Tor  in it a 15-year-old girl stated she spent her week ends partying with her friends who drank and ran the streets of Wora Burg. Germany in order to Lake care of them. This was due to their parents not giving them love and guidance. Ai teen i Ign in Wurzburg we found this letter both Eye opening and tragic on the part of the Leen Agurs and parents alluded to. We have lived in four different military communities in Germany because of our father s military duties and we have found the Wartburg Community 1o be one of the Best in Europe. Why because it is a conservative Community with Many youth programs available to teen agers. To name a Lew club beyond the International order of Rainbow for Girts end the International order of Demolay. Alt Are youth clubs that promote youth development and social and moral values. As members of these organizations we find ourselves working to be future Leaden of our Community and society As a whole. To our Peers who believe they must run the streets get drank take drugs etc., to gel their parents Atten Tion we suggest that you try changeling your frustrations towards self improvement and get actively involved with organizations like we mentioned. Only Xou can make the difference. To the parents who let their teen agers run wild and go unnoticed try harder at showing your love and concern. After All we arc your future. Lastly we would Tike to thank our parents and adult advisers for giving us sound guidance support in our search for individualism and serving As role models for developing our values. Should anyone need assistance in gelling involved in he youth organizations we be mentioned you can dear Ann Landers in response to no doily in Connecticut i too was the other woman and her head is full of hoi air. If she gets her Gem she can look Forward 10 becoming just As unpleasant and unhappy Ai his wife. My Gem turned out to be a fake. 1 was once an attractive vibrant talented woman. Now 16 Yean Down the line i am without ambition hard boiled unfulfilled and overweight in the bargain Gem insisted that i focus All my attention on him. 1n my overzealous crazy desire to please the egomaniac 1 did just that. I lost my friends. My relatives bored him so i had to Stop seeing them. He resented the Lime and attention i gave to the children so they got Short shrift. My career went Down the Drain because he was jealous of my associates. The list goes on and on. I gave up everything and i m stip giving. As soon As the youngest child is out of the nest i am flying the Coop Why this Turkey looked so Good 10 me i will never be Able to figure out. 1 Hope All you other women will Thake the stars out of your eyes and the Rock Mil of your head before it s too late.

I am the Type who docs not like to go out on the weekends and party. I have a few things to say and ask you. Why should you Lake care of the drunks when they know what will happen to them before they even Start drinking you said something about their parents Don t care about what their kid docs. Maybe it s True but Don t you think that the teen Ager should know what things to do and what not to do i think they should. You also said something about single parents not noticing their children. I have to disagree with you. My mom was a single Parent and she noticed us she sacrificed for us and she docs love us. You were right about it being a Parent s responsibility to make the Best out of his or her children but. It is also a child s will to let parents do their Best for us. Also How do you know your Friend s parents neglect hem what if your Friend was telling you lies about her parents just because maybe they did t agree about something so then your Friend foes around telling everyone How mean and Rotten her parents Are so people can feel sorry for her. I agree that we should have some fun. But i think it should be Only to a certain Point. When you said they will forgive you and be come Normal kids what kind of Normal did you mean i see it As every kid is Normal no matter what kind of clothes they have ctn or what kind of hair they have Stephanie a link Bomanan Raf Alco Barr a Oflund writer says police fight lonely Battle when i read about the murder of a Dallas police officer i was revolted to Tii Ink Ilia people would say shoot him and shoo him again Ai a Man held a pistol to the officer s head makes Rue want to vomit. The follow up article printed things about the killer saying that he was a Good Man bul had problems. What about the newlywed officer nobody gives a Damn about him. Since 1974 More than 1,000 police officers have been killed in the performance of their junes but docs anyone really cart 1 doubt in in today s society Frankfurt not platen please Tell your readers that our school u not named platen elementary school we have not changed our name. The words Frank Furt elementary school Are painted on the outside front of our building. We arc proud of Frankfurt elementary school and do not want the name of the Village name withheld Frankfurt pen pals when dreg abuse criminal activity and How much time you be done behind bars Are the badges of Honor where alcohol abuse spouse abuse and child abuse Are rampant where the carrying of weapon is Guiddy becoming a necessity. I doubt in my expiration of term of service Fitts is right around the Coiner. For those americans who still care and believe in an individual s rights and liberties. I plan on serving As a police officer because 1 care.
