For most pc St pie How Tessness is hell. For Brian and Ufa it s a hell of a business. Almost every Day Brian born Garden and Lisa Matowski stand on main Street in Mesa a suburb of Phoenix. Brian holds a sign Reading will work for food with visibly pregnant Lisa by his Side Bont Rardin is the picture of the 1980s Down and outer there an a lot of people who need help Bomgarden said. Bol we Ain t it Brian and Lisa Aren t homeless. The Yare con artists. On their first Day they took in $480. They say they make Between $400 and Moo a Day routinely. The pair came to Phoenix front Rockford 111., four months ago. Lisa was � lingerie dancer who worked to strip joints. Brian worked in a Ottoo parlor. At first they were truly homeless they said. Then Brian made the sign and the results were astonishing. It s better than american express,1 he grinned. The couple gets food too a much they Don t know what to do with it. A Mesa police officer said their scam is Legal. If he is soliciting work there is nothing we can do. If people give him donations that s purely up to them. If the sign said give me Money he could be arrested for pan Derlong but he is Well within he Law when he advertises for work. It would be a mistake to think that All panhandlers Are cons. Many Are truly needy. But at Long As Brian and Lisa Are around Home is where the Hustle is so dear readers that s what s happening in Mesa Ariz. Meanwhile there Are plenty of homeless on the streets of new York Chicago and los Angeles As Well. Would i help them yes. Even knowing that some Are phonies i figure that i am better off than they Are. Dear Ann Landers we raised our live kids by something we Cut out of your column 25 years ago. Every one of them turned out great and now they have kids of their own. Will you please play it again Ann As you can see 1 really need a new copy. Martin s ferry Ohio readers dear readers you bet thanks for asking. I am the foundation of All business and the font of All Prosperity. I am the Parent of Genius. I Bave Laid the groundwork for every Fortune in Amer Ica. I must be loved before i can bestow my greatest bless Ings and achieve my greatest ends. Loved i make life purposeful and fruitful. I can do More to Advance a youth than Bis own parents no matter How Rich they Are. Fools hate me. Wise men love me. I am represented in every loaf of bread that comes from the own in every train that crosses the continent in every newspaper that comes off the press. I am the Mother of democracy All Progress Springs from me. Who am i i an work. From the Ohio Mason Page letters questions on army discharge answered i have a problem which is probably not Loo unusual considering that 1 have been Here for seven years and have seen it happen to others. I am Irving to get certain information and no one seems to have the time to answer a Tew simple questions or they Don t know the answers. 1 have spent one half of my working Day this morning trying to find out about bus procedures to no Avail. This really seems like a waste of time for both myself and the government and time is Money usually. My particular questions Are or should be really quite simple to answer my discharge Dale is the beginning of january so i m already under 180 Days left in service. Was t sup posed to receive a discharge briefing at 1 to Days also i m told by several people thai there is a 90-Day drop in effect for everyone m the array. Considering i m already less than Iso Days out i guess that there is a 90-Day drop that would put me less than 90 Days left in service. Am i supposed to receive a 90-Day Brief ing As Well i m pretty sure i should be receiving at least one of the two types of briefing pretty soon if not several months ago. Also is it still possible to take terminal leave t have been told both yes and no to that one. I had planned to take terminal leave in november Assum ing that 1 was to leave in january. I did t plan to get discharged in october but if i am now scheduled to leave in october and i am allowed terminal leave i would be leaving in less than a month although i had n t planned to. Also from what i have heard i should have Al least received a preliminary set of orders by now at Iso Day which would have Given me n general idea . I would t be Loo concerned about All this if i were single but As 1 have a family Over Here i really need to know this information soon so that i can begin preparing for everything coming up in the near future. 1 also think that i should t have to write to find out All the answers. The people at so really should have known these answers. Noi to mention the ple 1 talked to Al 1st personnel come. Nor should it require More than a few minutes to find out the answers to such mundane questions. I still have work to do and really Don t need the added hassle of run Ning All Over Post to find things out. 11 was especially frustrating to find out that i Haven t gained any information on being discharged. I read the papers almost every Day but i have never seen an article that covers these questions although for the past year i have paid particular attention to articles that might relate to this.
