Her regular column will resume on sept. 3. Dear Ann Landers i m one of the thousands maybe millions of wives whose husbands asked did you read Ann Landers today the letter he wanted me to Sec was signed your Loving husband but not enough. We both laughed and thought it was very Clever. How about equal time for a wife s rebuttal dear Loving husband during the last year i approached you to make love to me 365 times but you had 329 excuses. You said yes 36 times. Here s my tally on the excuses hard Day at the office 40 times. Argument with the Boss too tense 39 times. Important meeting tomorrow have to get a Good night s sleep 30 times. It s too cold in Here 5 times. It s too hot in Here 20 times. I m beat 30 times. My Back is acting up again 30 times. I drank too much could t Hack it 15 times. I can t tear myself away from this terrific movie during which you fell asleep 40 times. As soon As i finish this article during which you fell asleep 35 times. I was sleeping what did you say 30 times. We Aren t newly weds anymore. What Are you trying to prove 10 times. Why Don t you go Bowling with the girls or take a cold Shower 9 times. Signed your Loving wife but not forever . Ann dear girl will you please Rush the name of Loving Hus band to my new address which will be Siberia if my husband finds out i wrote this letter Rockford ill. Dear Rock my lips Are sealed. I la never never Tell. Incidentally i received dozens of tallies from other wives who had a similar tale of woe but you told yours Best dear Ann Landers i will get right to the Point. My Mother and dad Are getting a divorce. Frankly it s a Relief for us kids. They have been fighting for five years. There arc three kids in the family and we Are Al Lowed to choose whether we want to live with mom or dad. My sister chose mom. My brother chose dad. I chose dad also. When i told them of my decision mom hit the roof. She said girls belong with their mothers. I told her i would visit her once a week but that did not satisfy her. I love mom but i am not at Case with her. Whenever i had a problem i always went to dad. He is More Calm More understanding and he treats me like a person who has some brains. Mom has been putting so much pressure on me to change my mind that i m freaked out. Dad says nothing but i am sure he is pleased that i chose him. Please Ann if you can help me decide what to do i d appreciate it. Kid in the Middle in m1ddleton dear middy since you were told the decision was yours to make and you made it i feel it is unfair of your Mother to pressure you. Follow your original inclination. After you Settle in with your dad try a few weekends with your mom and see How it goes. If you want to change your mind later do so. Letters readers vent feelings on military lottery i am writing in reference to the article the army quietly surveying troops about military lottery promo a House staffer is quoted As saying it s not like anyone wants to rip off the troops. And then he says to say the military should t run a lottery because it s immoral is outdated i Lake exception to both statements. If i asked someone to give me $1, and told them they had a i in 500,000 Chance of getting anything in return that would be very close to having stolen the Money in the first place. 1 would have a better Chance of recovering my Wallet if stolen. That is a rip off in any business that i am aware of. Certainly no com Mander would recommend an investment such As that to one of his soldiers. To justify the lottery rip off by saying the profits which would be sure and substantial would go to worthwhile purposes is to say the end justifies the that i should be Able to do anything i want because the results Are Good is a bankrupt ethical theory. The motivation behind a lottery is to profit from the base human emotion of greed and wanting to get something for nothing. This attitude is destructive to any individual or society because the reality is that Long term gain Only comes from work and sound in vestment of resources. That is the attitude that the military should be trying to instill in troops. I doubt the military would legalize drugs just be cause a Survey indicated that that is what the troops wanted. The harm of legalized gambling is just As destructive As drinking and driving although it is not As obvious on the surface. It has been ten years since i was last in Europe and i had not been in the country 30 Days on this Lour when a Young couple came in to Sec me. The husband had just confessed to his wife that he had taken checks from her and had written Over $1,000 in bad checks. He was spending every Quarter he could find on the Slot machines. Gambling had jeopardized his marriage and his military career. To say that gambling is not a rip off and is not immoral when it is destructive to human life not to mention to society is in my Opin Ion both irresponsible leadership and immoral. If you want to Send me $1, i will give you a 1 in 1,000,000 Chance of getting anything in return for it. Chaplain it. Col William j. Caple Vai Xinren West Germany i hear that the army is still considering a lottery for overseas. Before they Start this lottery they should consider this we in Germany and most other european coun tries can buy a lottery ticket with lira chances for 2 Marks about one Dollar. But the army lottery ticket would be one Chance for one Dollar. The top prize in the army lottery would be $5,000. But the German lottery builds up every week when there arc no winners. The prize for six numbers starts at one million Marks $500,000 and several times has gone up to 18 million Marks $9 million. Now where am i going to buy my lottery ticket one Dollar for one Chance to win $5,000 or one Dollar for two chances to win from $500,000 to $9 million the mar of the military is supposed to be furnished free by the military Congress and should not be taken Milf Rcd stolen from the pockets of the gis under the disguise of a so called lottery.
