European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 26, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 Amin larders letters dear Ann Landers i m so glad you printed the words to our National Anthem. I was one of those kids who never Learned them when i was in school and have been embarrassed about it Ever since. Thanks a Heap doll. Lake Forest ill. Dear like you ural a few million others. Reid on dear Ann Landers the Star spangled Banner u a stupid song. The words Don t make sense to the aver age person. For example How Many people know what a Rampart is see we " cur Lynn Lei a Rampart is. Us. Tuisl a minute White i go look it up. Dear Ann Landers the Star spangled Banner should never have been designated As our National Anthem. Very Tew ple have the voice Range to handle it. It s an octave and a fifth. We should ditch that dog and go for America letter questions fairness of lbs news watching the National political convention coverage aired by an has driven me to the Point of illness. The object of my Wrath is arts and in effect. An s Choice of the or called lbs news with Dan rather to report on these monumental political gather Ings. It s bad enough that arts uses Sandim Sla Dan and co. For daily time slots usually reserved for straight broadcast journalism but the Coave Donsi w.m.t0. Oakland dear Oak Lois of folks hold the same View and have written to their congressmen about ii. I am among those to would prefer America the somehow Amber Waves of Grain and purple Mountain s majesty sound More like the country i love than the rockets red Glare and bombs bursting in dear Ann Landers when 1 was a kid 60-plus years ago we stood at attention when the National Anthem was played. took off their Hals and those in uniform saluted. Today nobody pays inc least bit of attention. They keep tight on jabbering away chewing gum smoking Cigar Les and drinking Beer. It s a damned dear indy guess i m an old Square like you. It s disgusting. From Neosho to during world War i a British wit noted that Amer ican soldiers could barely stumble through the first few lines of the Star spangled but they knew All the words to pistol packin1 i did t consider that an Insull because pistol Packin mama is a much belter song. From Augusta. Ga.-. The Siar spangled Banner became our National and him in 1931. Why they picked thai Lemon is a mystery to me. Francis Scott key wrote it to immortal ize an insignificant Bailie of a minor War War of 1812. From Russellville Ala you arc mistaken when you assume that people Don t know the words to our National Anthem merely because they move their lips a i talc and Don t sing. The problem is thai it is written in g major which Means it has an f Sharp that few people can reach. If it were played in the key of b fall major even i could sing it. From Brunswick Maine when i was in grammar school 1911 we had to memorize All four verses of the Star spangled ban Ner " i am b7 years old and am writing he words from memory. Sorry i can t recall the third verse but Here Are the first second and fourth verses. You May print my name if you want to. I d like that. Marie Baxter White dear Marie with pleasure. What a remarkable great Ludy you Are. And your penmanship is much better than mine dear.

Foch nig operation with two main objectives in mind All reporting must present a Liberal democratic Bias whether on the face or More subliminal and in conjunction with that All reporting must the democratic party in a Good Light and he Republican party in a bad one. Day in and Day out Dan rather succeeds in main Taining those objectives which brings me to my next Point. Just because lbs labels Itsel fas a news organization docs thai aulos atnally make it one arts supposedly believes so. I can t believe anyone could be that Gullible. Why do i get the feeling that if Pat Robertson changed the name of his show to the 700 club news an would air it during the real news time slots lbs news is political commentary no More no less. It is journalism of the worst kind filled with mis representation half truths and tics. If arts insists on keeping this Liberal pablum in some capacity other than straight news it should be neatly labelled com Mcnary and rotated perhaps with another piece of commentary like the firing line with William Buckley. Only then will i know that arts has some sense in its head or is not out and out biased itself. Name withheld Stuttgart West Germany editor s note Paul d.

Community Bank charges examined recently people have been complaining about the $1 service charge for cashing checks at the merchants National Bank. Since this charge was mandated by inc Pentagon there is no sense in complaining to the Bank. However people also have been complaining about having to tie up their funds in an account with Mer chants National to avoid this charge. Look at the facts before you decide not to tie up some minimal funds and instead pay the service charge. The minimum Deposit required to open a Sav Ings account is $50. This will allow you to Cash checks without the service charge. To maintain this account free of maintenance fees though you must Deposit �1 quarterly and not make any withdrawals. Now let s look Al the facts. Minimum Deposit so four $1 quarterly deposits $ 4 Tola investment ss4 if you Cash a Check a minimum of once a pay Day. pals you will save $26 during the year by avoiding the serv ice charge. Plus there is inc interest earned from inc account $2.97. Total investment 55-1 interest Rale. A interest s z.91 the combined return on inc Money invested is $28.97. Service charge savings sift interest s we total return si8.97 that computes to a return of More than 53 percent on the Money invested. Not a bad return on such a simple investment.
