A woman with a full time Job is no longer Able to Mother her husband the Way he would like said Rose Gotte who represents the Rheinland Pfalz state in the German parliament. The need men have for being Moth ered and cared for is so Strong that they Are willing to accept financial disadvantages. To preserve this  Gutte is a member of the social democratic party and holds a doctorate in philosophy. The Rodenbach resident Dis cussed Equality of the sexes Friday at a women s Equality Day luncheon held at the Vogel Weh officers and civilians club. Sponsored by the army and air Force Federal women s programs at Kaiserslautern and Ramstein a the event Drew about 300 German and american employees of the . Government. Gotte said she recently attended an International conference on women s is sues and heard All around me. The kinds of complaints so familiar to me. That men Are willing to help their wives now and again but that they by no Means want full responsibility or even half responsibility for work involving children and the  German parents May collect 600 Marks a month about $318 at the cur rent Exchange rate in the first year of their child s life so the father or Mother or.

But she noted that Only 1.5 percent of the children s fathers annually take advantage of the Benefit leaving the bulk of the responsibility of child care to mothers. As Long As husbands Are not willing to do their part and take a new role in living together then i think we won t get very much further Gotte said. One year benefits for staying Home with a child should be extended to two years because in the second year a child still needs intensive and very per Sonal attention All Day Gotte said. The Mother of three went on to say that Progress has been slow in achieving greater child care benefits and More child care facilities in Germany because too few women serve in parliament. In West Germany about 80 out of the 519 representatives Are women. Lots of men Are not particularly interested in these issues g6tte said. At least two of West Germany s Politi Cal parties Are attempting to Advance proposals requiring increased representation for women in political structures Gotte  a question and answer session after her talk Gotte acknowledged that Ger Many needs More soldiers because of a shortage of men but she predicted that women would not be called on to serve. She also said she does not believe women should be asked to provide any Type of obligatory National service because hav ing babies takes roughly a year out of a woman s life. I think this is her task and she has done what she must do Gotte said. Later in a Brief interview Gotte a frequent critic 9f defense related Low Fly ing said she still is concerned about the noise created by the aircraft. I think we need to talk about it Gotte said. The children suffer under the  noting that she receives numerous complaints from her constituents when the planes Fly Low she said she is sure americans living in the United states would voice similar concerns if faced with the same Type of nuisance.

Write in ballots will be available Over seas for registered voters who do not receive ballots from their state. People who do not receive an Absentee ballot by mid october should Send a write in ballot Beaty said. The write in ballots Are expected to be available next month in military voting assistance offices in Europe. Some people do not receive Absentee ballots because of the Way they fill out their registration and ballot request forms. Each state requires certain information on the form.
