European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 01, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i have been a fan of yours for years and have Yel to see my problem in your column. I know it s not because it does t exist. It s just that people in my group Are faceless. I m sure very few of your readers Ever give a thought. I m a cleaning woman who works in a Bank. You would not believe the mess that is made by people who come in just to Cash a Check. It is always worse on the first and 15th Days of every month. Some nights when i walk into the Bank i feel As if this place is one huge Slop bucket. I see cigarettes mashed on the floor scribbling on counters and Walls chewing stuck All Over Apple cores Orange peels paper cups half full of Coffee Candy bar wrap pers and milk shake Cartons on the floor. This Bank is not in a slum area. We Are in the heart of Long Island. Please print my letter so America can Sec itself. I m sure this problem exists in Many cities and in buildings other than Banks. Weary and disgusted dear a. And thank you for letting see How life links at the other end of the mop. I la bet that the same people who leave a Trail of trash in the Bank also litter streets Parks and other Public places. For shame dear Ann Landers in t it time to resurrect that old fashioned and Long discarded custom of staying together for the Sake of the children for years marriage Counselor and mental health professionals have been telling that this is nonsense i am not so sure they arc right. When i look at the children of my siblings and cousins and the classmates of my daughter half of them arc from broken Homes i see so much suffering. And now i read about a new Long term study that showed even the children of civilized non Messy divorces suffer Long term problems even into adulthood. I am one who stayed in a marriage for the Chil my husband was not abusive or alcoholic. We just grew in different directions. Now that Daugh ters arc grown i am 40. I am Happy that i made the decision to stick it . I Don t believe that the turmoil of a Dixon cd and my search for a More compatible mate would have been Worth the Price my children would have had to pay. I believe there s a Lime when the children s needs come first when it is their turn and nol my turn anymore. How about it Ann maybe you should begin to encourage couples 10 stay together for the Sake of the children again. Been there in Atlanta dear Atlanta had you written and asked if you should leave your husband simply because you had grown in different directions and there were children involved i would have suggested joint counselling and urged you to keep the family together. 1 would not however give that same advice to women who describe a hellish existence with an abusive stance addicted or unfaithful Man. Nor would 1 advise a woman to stay with a Man who sexually abuses his children or brings women into the House when the wife is at work. In such cases the children fare a great Deal better with one Parent who is at peace. Granted divorce is so easy to get these Days that Loo Many people opt of marriage without riving it a fair Chance. i would never advise staying together when there is screaming hitting cheating drunkenness mis Ery no respect and no peace. A Angeles times syndicated column so Linden welcomes your a Youcan write Lomi m care of the stars ind stripes. Apo 09211. . Forces letters i my by bpm " male responds to complaint about hoots i have never written to the stars and stripes or an so Rcd an editorial before this was Loo much. In a recent letter there was a rather one sided discussion on How men stare gawk drool yelp. Hoot and holler at Good looking i would like to add my opinion. Yes. I agree it is a rather sad sight to see soldiers acting like animals and children in their response to women wearing bikinis aimed on jeans Low lops and other very revealing clothing. However on inc other hand if such women did not Wear such clothing they would Sec a lot less unacceptable behaviour from their counterparts and fellow soldiers. I for one raised in your average tasteful and intellectual environment rather enjoy looking at exception ally Nice looking women. If you really have a problem with this Issue. I think you should Lake anything from the i Aris line of bathing Altric to Fredrick s of Holly Wood to court and Don t let me or anyone else see you in a Bikini or Overly snug jeans in Public. Why do i care Well. I really Don t i am so tired of you ladies crying Wolf every Lime you happen to be in Public wearing clothes. Please try not to pass by a Fredrick s or go to the fashion Section of Paris or any other fashion Center. You might become Overly offended and have a heart attack. So Soldier Start thinking and Stop complaining about Only the Start asking Why you women must passively harass decent men. Try looking in the Mirror and you might find the antagonist and the solution to your problem.
