Now i " am trying to find a Job and having no Luck even though the employment Rale in this country is at an All time High. I must be a real loser. I have never experienced Joy or satisfaction in anything that i be Ever done i have no real interests no desires and no ambition. 1 consider myself a total failure. I Don t know Why i am writing to you. Maybe it is to warn parents teachers and others to pay attention to the quiet obedient kid. My parents Are Nice decent people but they were never concerned about me be cause i made Good grades and never got into trouble. Maybe when they read my suicide note they la under stand. A Guy in Milwaukee dear Milwaukee the clue to your problem can be found in your own words "1 Hare never to Riend Joy or satisfaction in anything that 1 have Ever Dune. 1 have no real interests no desires and no to sounds � if you have been suffering from de pression for Many years.

Ask your family physician if he can refer you to who is experienced in treating depression with drug therapy. Yon might also Check with the department of psychiatry connected with the major universities and teaching hospitals in Milwaukee. The manic Dep site depressive association based in Chicago is another excellent source of help. You ire too Young to give up on life. There is so much to be Savoured. Please write again and Tett me that you Bare followed through. 1 am worried about you. Dear Ann Landers i took my i year old daughter to the paediatrician to see what was causing the rash on her inner thighs. The nurse who took the history suddenly blurted Oul the trouble with you is that you re too darned my daughter knows she needs to lose weight and that cruel remark Hurt her terribly. Should the doctor be told West a mom dear . Mom absolutely. A nurse who is so insensitive and tactless needs additional instruction on dealing with patients. I fear she s to the wrong Field. Dear Ann Landers i have several relatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin who save All year so they can take their vacations in California. God Only knows Why. They never Stop complaining from the time they arrive to the time they leave. They Bash everything from the traffic to the clothes people Wear the smog the prices and then they say one Day you re going to have a terrible earthquake and the whole state is going to fall into the Pacific please stay Home you re not travel ing to meet new people and have new experiences. All you want to do is compare other places to your Home town.

They miss so much in life. Page 11 letters cafes explains absence of a rated films cafes arc you censoring my movies you say you Arent and claim you show them just like you receive them. But there s another Type of censorship the sin of omission. You Don t show a rated movies. Why not i like Many types of movies from Willy Wonka to Bui i also enjoy the occasional a rated him such Emmanu de which was shown on Swiss late night television for heaven s Sake. And i be always won dered what goes on behind the Green door perhaps cafes you dont show a rated movies be cause you did t know they existed. Or your Market research indicates that none of the hundreds of thousands of Young male soldiers in the army and air Force would be interested in this Type of movie. Or most Likely you arc acting As a guardian of my and our morals a censor protecting me from moral brain damage and shielding yourself from congressional and religious backlash. So cafes Are you censoring my movies if so please admit it. Confession is Good for the soul. Name and location withheld editor s note it. Col Charlie White Public affairs officer he cafes Europe replies a confession is not necessary because cafes Ion not practice censorship in the selection of motion pictures. However oar procurement to confined to features hit Are judged to possess sufficient entertainment value la All our customers. The topic of a Reed film procurement to Norm Subjec Tive judgment and such judgment in bound to cause differences of opinion.

In the interest of improving the continuity of the films and consequential audience Appeal film distributors occasionally shorten a film after initial re lease by removing unimportant footage. Ozone layer depletion problems clarified 1 am writing in response to a Reader s rather Melo dramatic Pica to save the Ozone layer. I must agree that the problems of Ozone depletion and the possible Rise in the ambient temperature and subsequent Rise in sea level due to the melting of Polar ice Caps arc grave problems and feasible solutions arc needed soon. However it should be noted that the increase in temperature and sea Levels Are due to the greenhouse effect caused by inc increase in carbons in the Atmo sphere due to inc increased burning of Fossil fuels. Competitive credit cards you recently ran an article concerning credit cards issued through cafes. The article quoted a spokesman from cafes As saying that their card was competitive. We Hope that the word competitive will not be construed to mean equal. Our Mastercard is issued with no fee regardless of the amount of Purchase. Also our rate of interest is 15.72 percent compared to 16.9 percent from Lomas Bank. In fairness to your readers we think you should print this letter to let them know that some of the very Best financial services in the overseas Environ ment Are still offered by their credit unions.

It was postmarked 26 August Oul of Apo Pacific area. Thanks for the service. John l. Lib ramble in West Germany depletion of the Ozone layer is due to chlorofluorocarbons rfcs which chemically break up the Ozone molecule in the upper stratosphere of the atmosphere thus reducing our natural shield from solar radiation. Rfcs arc used in aerosol cans foam insulation solvents air conditioners and refrigerators. Several countries including the . Have banned rfcs in aerosol cans since 1978. Last september an International plan calling for a reduction of rfcs in developing countries was signed by 30 nations and re search is underway to find Safe alternatives. The Reader s solution to divert Money from the space program to the Ozone problem would be self defeating. Much of the data of the Ozone problem has come from various Nasa programs. In i97s Nasa launched a Nimbus-7 satellite that carried equipment designed to Monitor the Ozone and More recently a Nasa equipped er-2 aircraft has been conducting extensive research into the Ozone Hole Over the ant Arctic. 1 suggest the Reader do a Lille research before he erics Wolf Janet Scheffman Ansbach West Germany pen pals i would Liki pan pal from Ilow the world Floratta Cap Tao Kingstown query teak air Zamboanga Chy 7000 Hlll Pelna liked 1 am i Lonard but wild ind paty came run wow at Ming and Moling european.
