Dear Ann Landers 1 could t resist writing after Reading that letter from the parents who were upset because their daughter wanted to shave her head. With us. In was our 19-year-old son a student at the univ Cisily of new Hampshire. It were chatting on the phone and at the end of the conversation he said mom i m going to shave my i was shocked and asked him Why he would want to do such a thing. He has wonderful thick Blond curly hair his answer was hat he would t have to bother brushing it and he d save Money on shampoo. Ii did not make much sense to me two weeks later i went to get the mail and there was a. Letter from my son. I was surprised that he would write because we talk on the phone often and he almost never Lake pen i hand. When 1 opened the envelope then was nothing in in except one Beau Laiful Blond cud one week later 1 went to pick him up at the bus station and did t recognize him. There was this Lull male waving madly and Yelling mom mom it s tic Only comment 1 made when we got into the car was von should have brought along a Mutual Friend to introduce he kept Hii head shaved for a few month and has now gone to the other extreme. His curly Blond hair is almost Down o his shoulders. Again i m saying Noth ing. Gel the picture a mom in Ogunquit Maine dear Mooui certainly do. You re a. Smart mom Ubea kid i do funny stuff with their hair silence b it Best response. They la conform when they Are ready and the leu said Boot m the better. Reader disappointed by housing area with the Dollar Mark rate so Low we were extremely Happy when we were told that we got military housing in the Skyline housing area at a Reburg. After a week of living Here i m not sure it was As Good a move As we though t i am appalled at the standards of this building. We have a duty roster but no one seems to pay any Atten Tion to it the Entrance of our building has the appear Ance of a ghetto. Paper and cigarettes Are everywhere. The kids us bricks to hold up boards to skateboard Over and Juit throw the bricks in front of the building when finished. The slurs have dirt Over Din. The Laun dry room has broken washers and dryer and trash Cam that Are overflowing. Before 1 to any further let me make note that not ail the residents Are guilty of not cleaning their specified areas but the majority of them Are. You can t imagine How rude some of the occupants Are. I realize that we All have different schedules Bui there is no reason to come in 51 Midnight from Church talking in such a loud voice. This is constant. 1 can Sil in my living room and hear every word you arc saying. I Don t know How families with children lol Erale this. It bothers me it must Wake their kids it not Only the adults it s children As Well. One family lets their kids play in the stairwell every Day for hours while they do their business inside their apart ment. Obviously the noise distracts them. Don t they think in distracts us these kids run in and out of their apartment All Day slamming their door and Yelling As they jump Down the Steps. I find it appalling that this family does not realize How their children distract others in the build ing. I really wish 1 knew what is so important in their apartment thai they can t discipline their children. One of their children a 2-year-old, is constantly wan Dering the building with no clothes on while. I m letting off steam i might As Well go All the Way. Parking is another problem. Several families have More than one car yet one couple has taken it upon themselves to claim the one extra car spot As their own. I know what you re thinking. Why not talk to the stairwell coordinator. Well he s the one with the uncontrollable kids. He says he s working on the Cut ctr. Panel who Don t clean their assigned areas but really Why should they when ifs his icel he does t clean up. So my wife and i talked to the building coordinator. Well he s aware of All the problems. He knows we have mice All Over the building. Bui he s Short to he does t care. Looks like it s going to be an awful Lour. Name withheld we Starr West Germany editor s note Brig Gen. W. Brace Moore.
