The following weekend i went to Sec the kids and asked my wife if she would take a walk with me alone.

A capital cause in Cap Yob told pm and i m Sun great Many people Are applauding you. Including me. Is it would t Hurt to mention what Day it is too new food mall replacing Franconia inn now Why would cafes close a Well run popular indispensable morale support operation like the fran Conia inn on Leighton Barracks in Wartburg who makes decisions like this consider the consequences hundreds of people will have their eating habits cavalierly disrupted the capable cafeteria work Force will be summarily dismissed some after 25 years of service to be replaced by vending machines the Vickly Post social even italian n ight will be scuttled and what i thought cafes was about mor ale support will be re nerd a joke in the name of. Of what efficiency belter service More hamburgers pizza and other fast foods land up hurry up and eat and get out of the Way Type of service there has to be a certain kind of cowardice at work when Juch impersonal faceless and nameless decrees Are allowed to wreak such havoc and so much social dislocation. Don t Tell me about the culinary delights of the offi cers club. I suspect that if i ate Over there i d run into the Guy who closed the Franconia inn to bail out the declining fortunes of the officers club. Hey you if it Ain l broke Don t fix ill Jim Mandervlle Wurzburg West Germany editor s note Donald j. Miller when Surji Exchange manager replies hunk you for your a Toniu come Gnu about the open Don of the Franconia inn on Leighton Barrack. Unfortunately not everyone supports the cafeteria u you do. The Franconia inn has been under a Tudor for Well Over two years. Based on thai study and customer acceptance of similar conversions elsewhere we fell the n Nylon 1 necessary. The inn was a marginal operation during 19b7 and lost in excess of $30,000 for tie finl Quarter in 1988. The loss of this Type of Revenue. Directly Impact on mar funds needed for other anti titles. The Franconia inn is scheduled for renovation and conversion from a cafeteria style operation id i food mall concept featuring pizza mexican food and Fried Chicken. This renor Atlon will begin next month and the new food mall is scheduled for opening in december. The new food null will retain about the mine sealing capacity and will expand operating hours. No food tend ing machines will be utilized and All our employees will be retained either in the new operation or offered positions in other activities. The Franconia inn Bas been an operation of Pride to cafes and the Wurz Harg Community. We feel that the new food malt will belter serve the Community and our customers in the future. Some guidelines on becoming involved i would like to respond to the writer of a letter last month titled balance is key in  in Reading this letter the fact that a disparity in recognition of scholar is. Athletes in the Community emerged. 1 believe that As a member of the Community or As a member of the faculty at the school or As a concerned Parent if you become aware of some thing hat can be improved upon act on in if there is something that affects the students team together with other interested and motivated Community members who Lake an Active interest in pro Viding memorable occasions for the students of the school. This should be equally True for a Scholastic achievement even or an athletic achievement event. Let me specifically address the athletic banquet that was referred to in the Village of cares be cause writer salutes airmen Asa civilian and a dependent wife of the air Force i have seen a lot. I have seen the woral of the air Force and the Best of it too. I have seen bad officers and Good officers i have seen Good cos and cos that always seem to want your respect. Then there s the airmen if in was not for the airmen there would be no air Force. Who would you have to stick in those cold Damp bunkers to guard you who would you have to order around who would you have to Cook your meals who would you have to shovel Snow so you could Ulk & Rou ble free path who would fight your wars and die to protect our country and your Freedom there s the airman who makes up to the Bosses and gets everything handed to them then Here s the air Man who gives his her All to get the Mission done and never gets recognized. An airman has to be quite a Man or a woman to Lake All that is thrown at them and still be Able to walk away standing tall and holding their head up High. It seems that everyone wants your respect but you have to give respect to get respect. So i say hats off to All airmen around the world and to a Job Well done. Maybe someday they will recognize you. Edi Blondheim Sembach West Germany  this event was the result of interested parents of students in the High school who wanted to provide a special event for he students to remember. These six concerned citizens look their Energy Lime and concern for their children and turned in into an event that their children could look Back upon and remember in the future. High school should be a memorable time fur Stu dents in All aspects of their growth. I agree thai bal Ance is the key to a Well rounded education. I also believe that without the assistance and initiative of concerned Community members parents and faculty members complaints will continue to be heard. Don t complain about what was t done what did t come to be. Put All that negative Energy into something positive something that can Slick in the minds and memories of the Young people we arc interested in. These Young people arc Nur future become involved.
