No mention is made of achievement. Not a word about integrity a sense of responsibility decency morality or service to Olsen. It s enough that he just stays out of trouble he what a sad commentary on our limes. Good lord where Are we heading and who is going to take m there the next letter May give us a clue As to what is ailing us and Why. Dear Ann Landers in february you printed a letter about a toddler in Boston who was Slabbed 17 times by a a car old. You said the child probably got the idea from watching to. Well let me suggest another possibility. I shall do my Best to tone my letter Down because the words to de scribe this filth cannot be printed in a family newspaper. This trash is called garbage Pait kids published by Topps chewing gum co. These cards Are obtained when the kids buy gum. They Are traded Back and Forth and the idea is to get a big collection. I shall try to describe some of the cards i m looking at. One is a coloured drawing of a child who has been stabbed in the Back and his head has been split open with an an. The blood is gushing out another card shows a child who has been run Over and crushed by a car. Still another pictures a Little boy with 14 spikes going through his body. The most disturbing card pictures a child grinning after he shoots a Little girl. The dead child is tying on the ground with three Bullet holes in her body. The boy is laughing. Our 8-year-old neighbor boy has a garbage pail poster that shows an infant Slabbed with knives hypodermic Needles and swords. The infant is wearing a target. The caption on the poster says have a Nice at a time when so Many children Are being abused we do not need this kind of trash Hal pictures children As garbage. Please use the Power of your column to Alert parents to this monstrous thing. Ellen h. In Houston Tex. Dear Ellen i wrote about garbage i Nii kids a few years ago and was under the impression that we had gotten rid of them. Apparently we Haven t. I urge All parents to refuse in patronize drugstores grocery stores Candy stores or Novelty shop where these cards Are offered. Tell the manager Why Yon wont be earning in anymore. If your child has these cards Lake them i wily and explain Why they Are bad to have.

Us letters reasons for summer hire explained finding out that there is summer hire program this year has really disturbed me. The decision to end summer hire due to the Cut backs the government must make is a harsh one with Little or consideration. I can understand government Cut backs having to be made but Why summer hire teen agers depend on jobs during the summer to make a Little extra Money. These jobs also help them to icam self dependence and gain Good Job experience. There arc few part Lime Job opportunities for Amer ican then Gere in Europe and those few Are hard to come by. Perhaps if the government cuts Back spend ing in other areas or considered using funds from other appropriations which arc generated by Federal income taxes paid by Oversea they might be Able to fund summer hire once again. Such appropriations arc used to fund similar work programs in the United slates. 1 feel it is unfair that the american military members and their families receive Only a Small return on total tax dollars paid. Christian Veuy Garl Studl West Germany editor s note Carolyn while civilian personnel division office of the Deputy chief of staff personnel he. Usa eur replies we appreciate the Opportunity to respond to the writer s concerns. The writer understands government Cut Lucks Baring to be Mode but does nol understand Why the summer hire program in Usa Elfr had to be can celeb this year the decision not to have a Ummer Hon program thai operate As it has to previous years was a difficult one and was made after Long careful and thorough consideration of la the factors and individuals it would have an Impact on. The Basic reason for the decision was thai operating a summer hire program for family member youth should be secondary to continuing employment for their parents and local National employee. Operating a summer hire program would not be consistent with the need and actions being taken to reduce the number of permanent and temporary spaces. In addition Many communities were not Able to have a summer hire program based on funds currently available. Cafes Stock Supply practices discussed have yet another series of questions on a Lockage of material by cafes.
