My Mother s sister lost both her kidneys at a fairly Early age. She received a transplant from an unrelated donor and it served her Well for 10 years Hen her body rejected it. Now she must be Dialysed three times a week and has had 30 operations. The woman has gone through More hell ban any human should have to endure. My Mother was tested As a Prospe live donor but her tissue was not a Good match. Soon after. Mom began to have trouble with kidney stones and bladder infections. Had she donated a kidney to her sister she would probably be on dialysis today. We Alt love our Auni but my Sisters and i arc in our 30 and we have Young children. Our decision not to be donors was an extremely difficult one. Yes Ann. To give up a part of your body is an extremely generous thing to do but please have compas Sion for those who decide not to.

U s writer says deficit must get no. 1 priority As a president Bush supporter i was very Happy to View his speech building a better America \ the speech outlined his budget to Congress and the american people. He talked about four Points i. Immediate problems 2. Building the future 3. Reducing the deficit and 4. No new taxes. I d like to talk about one of those Points the Federal a Cafici. ,. ,. The Federal deficit is the largest single problem fac. Ing Pur country today. We have a National debt of $2.6 trillion. In president Bush s budget he says he is Cut Ting the deficit by 40 per com. This Means thai instead of spending $150 billion Over budget this year the National government will spend just 190 billion Over budget. Although a 40 percent reduction deficit is a Start much More needs to be done or there will be severe consequences. President Bush has adopted the policy of Supply. Side economics which relics on tax cuts to spark in vestment. With he deficit so High he american peo ple arc Loshing Confidence in he Economy the Teford Stead of investing their tax Cut they Are putting it into savings. This will reduce revenues. The deficit and National debt has to be reduced significantly o regain the Confidence of the american we do not want our trading partner to lose Confidence in us and in our ability to solve our eco nomic problems. This would Stop them from investing and also Hurt the Dollar abroad. The amount Ofin Tercel on our debt is becoming a major part of the Federal budget. So Money thai could be spent on social programs and the National defense is spent to pay interest on the deficit. Although not an economist i Sec a couple of ideas to reduce the deficit and National debt. President Bush has proposed a flexible i propose a freeze on All programs with the creep icon of a Cost of living increase. Being a member of the armed Torres i would like a big raise. J would also like an increase in funds for education the homeless the farming Community the environment and Many other social programs. But the Plain fact is that the govern-1 ment just does t have the Money to spend on these programs. / to raise Revenue propose a Federal tax on such items As liquor cigarettes and gasoline. This would raise billions of lax dollars without railing personal income Tan i believe in Supply Side economies and it has proven that it works. That s Why personal income Zannol be taxed. I. The deficit is a serious problem Ihal has to be dealt with now. Many believe this could lend the country into a depression not unlike the one in the late 20s an dearly 30s. I believe the president is Dedica led to bringing Down tic deficit As is the Congress. But As a citizen of the United san los of America i urge the Republican White House and the democratic Congress to put their differences aside solve the deficit problem and truly build a better Ramstein a West Germany readers respond to advice contained in letters i wish to express my heart fail thanks to he lady from Karlsruhe who was offended by nose blowers in restaurants. Truly she has made me realize hat All of i desc years my priorities have been wrong. 1 thought hat i should be concerned about famine War pollution crime Etc. Now know what is really important armed new awareness my wife and i headed for one of the better German restaurants in the area. As our food was served i remained extremely conscious of he fact that should i have to blow my nose even discretely i should do so Only in inc rest room. Unfortunately i am one of those people who in the course of eating find thai something in he food has a tendency to make my nose run Nch Over dutifully 1 repaired to the restroom each time it was Nec Essary. I tried to ignore the increasing looks of alarm on he faces of the other patrons and the owner w Hon 1 made my i our trip and had hardly put a Dent in my dinner. I suppose you can understand Why the Polizzi were called. I did my Best to explain to hem and while they finally indicated they did understand their eyes old me that they had another crazy american on heir hands. It has become necessary for me to Stop eating out at All. However 1 have the satisfaction of knowing that 1 have not ruined an evening for anyone else. 1 do won Der sometimes How i could have been so ignorant for so Long.

Thai is if Yon get my Drill and i m willing to by you do. Gary attic scr Vern hem West Gemmy in response to the letter urging parents to Cut a hat on thai baby 1 agree Hal children should be warmly and comfortably dressed in cold weather. However it is important to understand that viruses and bacteria cause illness in children not exposure to cold air. Viruses spread More easily when people arc exposed to others with an illness so theoretically you could protect your child from illness by avoiding Contact with others rather than by avoiding exposure to cold Wrath or. A common misconception is Hal keeping the child s cars covered with a hat ear infections unfortunately ear infections May occur whether or no the child s ears were covered. A second letter complained about people blowing their nose in a restaurant. Those who suffer from Chro Nic Al Logies and Hay fever often must keep a kleenex or handkerchief Handy at All times and realistically could not make multiple trips Back and Forth to a restroom when in a restaurant setting.
