Democrat and chronicle. I thought it might in Terest you. You sure do know How to gel to people Ann. I be been Reading your column for years and it never ceases to amaze me the Way you pick up on the most in Al significant details and make a for Story come to life. Just sign me a . Admirer Dew . Thanks for those kind words. Do Yon mind if i share the compliment i Bali arc the nine can be and of Michael Zerler. Your Liming could not have been better. I am priming Zeigler s column on father s Day. A son learns too late what father meant we Don 1 know who David is or Why he did what he did. He lures somewhere in the Rochester area. He is married and has iwo sons. His father is Burin in Riverside cemetery on Lake Avenue. Juil before Christmas last year David attached a Small red Mailbox la an old White curtain Rod. Then be went to the cemetery and Stock the Rod into the ground at his lather s pave. Inside the Mailbox Wen two pieces of paper. One was a clipping of an advice column by Ann Landers that ran in the dec. 21 Democrat and chronicle. The other was David s answer. Landers column dealt with a message that a Brook Lyn Man Gate to his son on Bis ton s 17th birthday. It said dear son As Long As you live under this roof you nil follow the roles. In our Home we do not have democracy. I did not Campaign to be your father. You did not Vole for me. We Are lather and Nan by the Trace of god i consider it a privilege and i accept the responsibility to accepting it 1 have an obligation to perform the role of a father. I am not your pal the age difference makes such a relationship impossible. We can share Many things but you must remember that i am your father. This la 100 limes More meaningful than being a Pat. You will do As 1 say As Long As you live in this House. You Are not to disobey me because whatever i ask you to do is motivated by love. This May be hard for you to understand at times but the Rule holds. You will under stand perfectly when you have son of your own. Until then Trust me. Love dad. David apparently had heard a similar message from his own father. He put the clipping in an envelope with a Handwritten Nole. It read dad this letter and these feelings have been with me for a Long Lime. It did take having a son to realize How right you were. 1 now have to sons of my own and i am sounding Mure like you every Day. Wish we bad More time together. I wish i had a Chance to Tell Yon How much i Velea roed. Bani you for the time we did have you taught me Well. Dad. I m just sorry it look me so Long. May god bless you. Love David. Page 11 letters exercise your right and vote this year several weeks ago a writer from Parma sons wrote to the stars and so pcs on the subject of voter registration Here in Germany. Specifically he was concerned by the apparent Lack of official enthusiasm at the installation and unit level for setting and meeting local voter registration goals. He very cogently pointed out that despite All the Hoo Pla on arts he could not recall Ever seeing at the installation level some indicator like a big thermometer vouching for the enthusiasm of the Community to achieve maximum voter registration. I was very encouraged by the response to this letter from u Cou Robert Rocsell of the Usa eur Community and family support Agency. It col. Gesull i reply indicated that at every installation there is a senior voting assistance officer charged with the duty of aiding and encouraging voter registration. On behalf of republicans abroad Germany i am glad to Sec this step being taken. Republican abroad As Well As democrats abroad have always been Leaden in the Campaign to gel out the vote and Render by parti san assistance to any group or activity that shares that goal. Despite what the spots on an suggest filling out a Federal Post card application and registering Absen tee can be a difficult and time consuming task without expert assistance. If you have a voter registration drive where the Only thing there is to do is fill out registration forms and ballot requests you May have a disappointing turnout. Let me share a few things that May help the individual unit voting assistance officers and the newly appointed senior voting assistance officers meet their goals and have fun doing it. They have worked for us and i am sure they can work for you make voter registration a part of every unit or organization social activity. If your unit is having an organization Day picnic or get together invite the voter registration officer to bring his voter registration guide and Federal Post card applications with him or her. Invite volunteers to help the voter registration officer out so he or she does t have to spend the party  invite a jag officer or two to the function so they can answer any questions that might come up. Shame on any Community that sponsors a fourth of july picnic and docs not have a voter registration Booth or table set up pen pals i would top Eddie of you up with Mai urn in your pan pal column.

I would like to draw command attention to a prob Lem that appears to be Usa eur wide. The problem is that Many fire extinguishers arc in an unserviceable condition. A unit activity tire marshal is not assigned or he is not performing duties As assigned. The unit fire marshal is assigned to ensure fire extinguisher availability and serviceability. However just As each individual should consider himself a safely officer so should he be concerned with fire extinguishers. We should All make it a Point to notice the availability and serviceability of fire extinguishers. No fire extinguisher available or an empty fire extinguisher won t help you when there is a fire to be put out. As i write this letter i am reminded of the excellent support that i have received from the Hanau military Community fire department in particular from the firemen stationed at Hanau army Airfield they Are the most enthusiastic and dedicated firemen that i have Ever worked with. I can t Praise them enough for their outstanding efforts Scott  safety officer Hanao West Germany  col Jeffrey m.
