Thank you for some excellent guidelines. And is if you Cut gel the Drinker in your life to gel help go to Ai Aoa and Lewa How to Deal with ibis problem. Dear Ann Landers How about telling the other Side of the Dory for a change we arc sick of hearing about those red hoi mamas who Wear out their husbands and never gel enough sex. For every one of them there Are a thou Sand wives who wish their husbands would put their sexual fantasies in the deep freeze and leave them there most of Thow Over the Hill Romeos who say they want a passionate partner can t perform when they get the Chance. Then they blame the wife and say they Are turned off because she is too fat nags a lot and makes unreasonable demands. My husband is a Couch potato who never lifts a Finger to help around the House even though i put in an eight hour Day same As he docs. In addition to my Job i am expected to keep a spotless Home tolerate his slurping snoring leg spasms and bed hogging. Whoever said women Nave been liberated mus lbs thing in a different world. For sure she s living in a different House. -. If you publish this til cat the paper. You always favor the men. In fact Ever since Kansas City stopped priming your picture 1 have suspected that you were fired and a Man took Over the column. Mind of my own in . -. Start no Boll sister Here s your letter. For every woman who Fetuli sexually deprived there s a woman who would be Happy if she never saw another Man. Too bad they can t change places. Reader asks if new name is Worth the Cost i am writing on behalf of Many of my fellow workers Here in the Wiesbaden regional medial Center. For the Lul few Yean we have ban consistently bombarded with request for financial austerity. For example no replacement staff except on the basis of two for one turn off electrical machines Etc. As we watched the Dollar slide and Congress increasingly Cut the military budget we understood and did our Best to work under the increasingly difficult conditions knowing that it was for the Good of the whole now we have been informed that the name of our work place is to change a decision from on High. No big Deal one May say. However when the name of a facility changes there arc numerous expenses involved. There Are new patches to be made and distributed to Active duty personnel. There arc new Stamps to be made for All the offices. There it a need to scrap All the Letterhead paper that is Here and order new Letterhead paper new phone books Etc. These Are Only the most obvious costs involved. My questions what is the Long term Benefit of All this mow does the Hospital function better is the name of the Hospital facility of such importance that scarce funding should be spent on this do the patients get better  due to this change ? will it improve the morale of the staff which is already overworked Luc to cutbacks in Manning and finally what wonderful piece of news Eok will we be fed by the Powers that be to explain his latest cant pie of Complete waste name withheld Wiesbaden West Germany editor s note col Philip e.

This has also been done within other major com mands. Writer assails unconcerned1 americans again and again Many of the american people have overlooked that our country has the capability of help ing countries other than its own. One opinion is we need to concern ourselves Wilh our country before any other More often than not these same people Are strongly for  rebels in Nicaragua. I truly believe it is time for a change and if nothing else concern. If asked of economic sanctions against South Africa to Hall the apartheid government Many people would respond huh i Hale to see the Day arise when a majority of Ameri cans Are concerned More with indirectly taking lives rather than saving them. The United Stales has a very Strong government and is quite capable of ending much of the world s sufferings. Rather than help we thanks Given for cleanup this letter is in regard to the recent fall cleanup in the Baum order Community. I was outside today admiring the Nice Job the men who participated in this event bad done. Everything looked so much cleaner. Three men took part in the cleanup in our designated area. My husband did not Force i Sondy. As i watched everyone working i noticed How few men were in front of each building. There Are eight families per stairwell where were the others 1 would have gladly pitched in but i have two Small children and it was raining outside. I know of one Man who raked a few leaves sneaked up to his apartment and quickly departed in his car. What is wrong with these people a lot of people feel it is not their Job to help clean up around their quarters. The government is allowing us to live Here we owe it to them to keep the appearance up. Do these people realize if they were living on the Economy they would have to do the Yard work them selves and More than just twice a year to the men and women who took part in he clean up thanks and you did great Tea Agrall Baor Shokler West Germany argue rather than act we Ponder and father than Lake action we do nothing unless in involves some Type of miliu.7 move. Many people Sil imprisoned needlessly All Over the world including our own. In All really the Only Hope these people have lies with private organizations such As amnesty International. Music of the 80s does More to assist people than the nations leaders do. The roles should be reversed. Governments specifically our own Are More concerned with strength and being Macho than in helping those in need. The 60s Era had the idea the 80s had the Power i can Only Hope the 90s will give us action and strive for Tranquillity rather than More powerful weapons or economic Justice. Spec. Robert t.
