It s a flier put out by people who love animals. They want he Public to know thai rabbits cats and dogs Are being tortured in laboratories not to find cures for illnesses or to produce vaccines to protect us against terrible things like aids but for developing cosmetics these pictures show monkeys f being blinded and rabbits with big paddies or fur and flesh Cut. Out of their Side. Dogs Are strapped to boards and Needles Are sticking out All Over. I cried when i saw it. I know you favor the use of animals in Laboratory experiments to save lives and i can understand thai but what about the cruelty perpetrated on helpless creatures in order to make cosmetics please address this in your column. I m sure a great Many readers would be interested. Molly in Maryland dear Molly the flier you received is incorrect. Monkeys cats and dogs Are not used in experiments to Tat cosmetics Only Rati mice and rabbits or. Frank Young commissioner of Ibe food to drug administration his repeatedly said animal testing to need to ensure that consumer products tie Safe far human use. Or. Young s sentiments an echoed by thou Sands of scientists. No one likes to use animal in Ihli Way but we must nuke certain that face Cream band lotion Mascara deodorant lipstick Nail polish perfume soup Sham poo toothpaste permanent wave solution hair colouring and hundreds of other Beauty and Hygiene products Are Safe to the Kiln and eyes. We most also know How to prevent serious illness or death if any of these Jub glances is swallowed. Young children lore to Al lipstick Rouge and eyeshadow and Many even try drinking perfume and Sham poo. If we were not Able to test these products on animals we would end up testing then on humans in the Emer gency rooms of hospitals All Over the country. Because of animal testing we Wen Able to develop Sun screens that have prevented countless eases of skin can cer. This is an enormous contribution. For those who aay we can Stop testing now. We know enough i reply not True. We do not know  if those people had had their Way it would not have been possible to develop us products that millions enjoy today. The United Stales department of agriculture under the animal welfare act has established guidelines and surveillance techniques to protect the animals used in Laboratory testing. These regulations were e up tonal suffers needlessly. It is letters malic certain that no animal advantageous to ail concerned that Laboratory models be kept reasonably Calm.

Reader feels my priorities misplaced several weeks ago i received a ticket on my parked motorcycle. The ticket is not my main concern. I am totally appalled with the rather obvious misdirection of priorities on the part of the a Broburg Mili tary police. I fully realize that i  have been parked in a no parking zone. At the Lime it appeared completely neb Ulous to me. 1 found what seemed to be a Nice Small parking place for my motorcycle. Mind you parking inthe Wurzburg area on or off Post is a near impossible by and any parking is belter than none at All or the 15-Mlnute wait behind three can All wanting the same space. The physical placement of paper work in general on a motorcycle is absolutely obscured at Best. Wit the known atmospheric conditions in Germany it is quite reasonable that a piece of paper left in the Ope can be blown Halfway to Berlin in a matter of seconds As was my ticket in this Case. I just happened to find it lying on the pavement several meters away i am certain that it took some Soldier a minute or More to fill out this citation. I believe that this Lime could have been More wisely spent How by simply turning around and observing the inces Sant moving traffic violations in the Exchange parking lot. Specifically running the Stop sign at the exit near the cafes Gas station. This area is coincidental directly across the Street from where 1 was parked. It has been noted by my wife and several other associate that people constantly disregard this particular sign. In t a moving violation More serious than a parking violation Aren t there More serious things than a parking Cita Tion for a motorcycle i can think of several How about the Street by Ibe Skyline housing area that is clearly marked anti Ger Frei 30 Kilometres per  i am positive that All those cars with local License plates doing 70 k a do not reside in Skyline. How about the Street Between the Flower shop and the gift shop on Leighton Barracks this is also a spot where people insist on running the Stop sign needless to say this area is marked As a pedestrian Cross walk. You should see the look on Peoples faces when you want to Cross the Street and Are expecting them to Slop As indicated. How about the German Gate guard who pass you at a High rate of Speed on Post in a no passing zone and with a Speed limit of 30 k s. How about the person who obstructs traffic to hold a conversation with a buddy driving the opposite direction it is my opinion that these Are just a few legitimate questions that demand an answer. It is Days like these that i wish 1 was commissioned amp. Cape. John d. Goldsborough Vonburg West Germany editor s note maj. Jonathan m. Faith Community Provost marshal is. Military Community Wurzburg replies first i d like to thank the writer for admitting he was illegally parked and thus deserved the parking ticket How refreshing. A great Many people who receive lick Els seem to feel serious mistake has been made. They rarely recognize that they made it now to address the writer i legitimate questions. 1 could easily provide statistics on the number of tickets we Issue for moving violations or Point out How often we run radar Speed checks in the me mentioned hut i Don t think this would make much differ ence to the writer. There Are two implicit Points he seems to nuke with hts examples and these both deserve treatment first he Points at Many violations he feels Are More serious than his own and then asks Why we Don concentrate on them. This is the old cry Why Are Yon picking on me look at what everyone else is doing i Don t feel we can give much weight to this excuse. For one thing the judgment of what is a serious offence is much Loo relative. We have All seen argument in print from those who say Why waste police Effort on drug users or prostitutes they Are their own victims. Concentrate on serious crimes this past weekend i had a Drunken Driver Tell me i did t Hurt anybody. I did t do anything wrong. Why Are you Guys picking on me my answer is that we Don t pick on anybody. We enforce the Laws. All of the Laws. And we enforce them All the time whenever we observe violators. This Brines me to the writer s second implication. He obviously has observed Many violations personally and seen them go uncorrected. We All set this every Day on the roadways and who in frustration has i said where Are the police when you need them the Point that has to be made Here is that All Law enforcement in a free society is selective. This Means we select times and places to station our patrols to Best deter offence. Absolute Law enforcement is not possible unless Yon have a police slate in which there Are a great Many police and the populace is also encouraged to spy on each other this is abhorrent to a free society and so we accept that not All violators will be caught All the time. So where were the maps when Yon saw these Viola tors maybe they were Over doing their Dally school crossing duty Al that Busy Street in Skyline you mentioned. Or maybe they were doing Money escort to get funds to your Community Banks. Or maybe they were responding to one of the 258 traffic accidents we experienced in this Community during the last 30 Days. By the Way somebody at All of i Host traffic Acci dents got a ticket. Lunch Monitor offers tips for parents 1 am a lunch Monitor at an elementary school and would like to address parents on the following three Points Don t Send your child to school in his her Best cloth is. Young children tend to get dirty at the play ground and Aren t always very neat when they cat lunch. Plus accidents do happen. A first grader wore a pretty solid while dress on the Day that burritos were served. I noticed her crying and asked her what was wrong. She had gotten sauce on her dress and she said that her Mother would spank her for getting the dress dirty. Consider keeping Candy at Home for after school instead of putting it in a bag lunch. On several Occa Sions i have seen Young children eat their Candy first then throw away their entire lunch because they did t feel hungry. If your child comes Home from school or the youth activities with a watch jacket or any other item they May have found please return it to the school or a office you can be certain that the owner of the mus ing item and the Parent who purchased it would greatly appreciate its return a Dkl Brooks bad Una nuts West Germany col Jeffrey Mcook  Miuor in a Vul it col Suzanne t.
