As Long As we keep sending men like Weicker and Simpson Lack to the Senate democracy and Freedom will be alive and Well in this country. Dear Ann Landers i be read several letters in your column about men who dress up in women s clothing. I never paid much attention to them however because they had nothing to do with me. Until s not my husband it s my 1 a year old son. A few months ago 1 painted Jake s room. While removing clutter from his closet. 1 noticed two pairs of my panty Hose 1 thought this was rather strange but reasoned that maybe my 12-year-old daughter had borrowed them ruined them and tried to hide them in her brother s did t say a word to either of the kids because i was afraid to face the 1 was in Jake s room again to put extra blankets in his closet and i noticed two pairs of his sister Bikini underwear in the Back of the closet.

Please Tell me in 1 should say something to him about my this mean he will be Gay or bisexual should he Sec a psychiatrist about this i am really terrified because of aids. I know that practising homosexuals Are greatly at risk. I love my son very much. He is such a Bright attractive Young fellow. Please help me to help Mother in Washington dear concerned Mother you refer to your son us a closet Queen and speak of your fear of aids As if he were � homosexual. Chances Are very Good that you Are son could be a transvestite or could simply be a is Yeiyu old who is curious and finds female lingerie forbidden and therefore erotic if later you learn that be is a Tom Vestile be aware that the vast majority of an not homosexual they just like to dress of in women s clothing. They Many Hare children and Lead Normal lives. But they do enjoy Cross dressing. Therapy rarely gets them to Stop. I see no need to Tell him that you Bam discovered us writer discusses killer vending machines i recently read the editorial by Dave Barry about killer vending machines. There Are two sides to every Story. The majority of the people injured by falling vend ing machines were attempting to get something for nothing. Cafes received a shipment of vending machines manufactured by Vendo co. Of America. These machines were missing a Small retainer Spring which allowed the customer to receive a free soda when the machine was vigorously shaken or rocked. When ii was discovered by a few people they could get something tar nothing and it was passed by word of Mouth we had a rash of accidents with these machines. The rough treatment of these Mach incs often caused damage aggravating the problem of dependability and customer dissatisfaction. The defective machines totalled about 40 out of the 600 machines available in the Frankfurt Hanau average customer not knowing the difference be tween one Model and another was rocking everything in sight. The newer vending machines Are full of electronics just like your stereo. Kick your stereo across the room and see How it functions afterwards. My investigations show an average failure rate taking Money for a can Ned drink vending machine of about two in every1,000 tries. Even a Lemon Wilt normally function 98 limes out of 100. Mishandled or defective merchandise or Merchan Dise not received will be refunded at any cafes retail store food facility or service station. Charles r. Vaju vending route Foreman cafes Offenbach West Germany editor s note u. Col. Charlie while Public affairs officer he cafes Europe replies we wholeheartedly agree with the Wilder. For the last several Yean vending machines Pur chased by cafes Hare bad solid stale operating mechanisms. Compared to the older mechanical machines the new ones have very few moving parts and experience fewer malfunctions. When a machine is received from the manufacturer with defective circuiting spare mechanisms Are available for immediate replacement. Our experience with cold drink machines indicates fast majority of Mil unctions Are directly linked to vandalism a vandalized machine affects our legitimate customers. This is Why cafes asks customers to report any malfunctions with our machines. We have a Liberal refund policy and anyone can receive a refund it the nearest cafes facility. Opposition to drug testing discussed a teacher from Pir Masens wrote opposing drug test ing of Dodds teachers because such testing would not solve the major crime problems in the United states. 1 certainly agree but i was t aware that the posed testing was supposed to solve those problems. The writer goes on to say that students should Lis ten to your teachers. Their most important Job is to help you find the writer continues in so Many word to define truth As not trying not to make it appear that teachers arc responsible for the drug problem. The truth is that All Loo few american High schools Utkus arc getting in adequate education. The real income of americans under 25 has fallen 25 percent in real terms in the past five years and adolescent dependency is therefore being extended. All Loo Many High school graduates enter Public institutions of higher education in need of remedial work. This is a consequence of mindless social motion Grade after Grade without regard to initiative or accomplishment. It works because it allows parents the Comfort of not facing a problem and it allows he military to deny a problem exists. When is the last Lime you As a Parent or member of the Community asked about the results of objective tests which Are administered annually As opposed to classroom grades which arc Given to pass everyone along and keep everyone Happy finally Why should teachers or any other segment of a population be exempted from a Community Gram designed to promote a drug free environment name withheld Heidelberg West Germany weekend Warrior proud of reformer role during reformer 8s my unit the 353rd trans co of Buffalo Minn played a Smalt role.
