European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 1, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11 letters Ann Landers is on vacation. The following column is a re run. Her Tchul Alcolumn will to sum sept. 3. Dear Ann Landers the problem concerns my Hus band. He is a food inspector. This is nol his profession it s his neurosis. He examines every slice of 1 bread for Mold even when he unwraps the loaf himself Ana takes the first piece. He stirs his Coffee for several minutes eyeing the surface for Flics gnats or what have you. He sniffs every morsel of food placed before him. More often than not he refuses to cat the fish because it does t smell  i Tell him All fish smells like fish and he says some fish smells More Tike fish than other  if this happened Only at Home it would t be so bad Buthe also behaves this Way out in company. I m afraid one Day he May begin to use a magnifying Glass. Can you help dear a bread inspectors fish sniffers and yes even spoon wipers Are an incurable Breed. They will be with us As Long us Man has two eyes and a nose. Ask your husband to please be less obvious when he sout in company. It s unnerving to a hostess to see such antics. She has no Way of knowing if the guest has found something or if he s Only looking. Dear Ann Landers i m worried about my 18-year-old brother Nick. He s been dating a girl who said she was 16. When he Learned she was Only in the eighth Grade she admitted she was 14. This girl can go out every night in the week and stay As late As she wants to. Last Friday Nick did l come Home to sleep. He phoned mom and said he was spending the night with a buddy. He told me the next Day he slept on the Couch Al this girl s House. Her folks did t say a  people Aren l Irish. Her fall or is a profession Al Man and her Mother is a social Regis scr. Their theory is that either a girl of u can be trus cd or she can to and pulling Orcsi Rillions on her Are useless. Whal arc your ideas on this concerned sister dear  sympathies Are with the girl. Her spineless parents have abdicated their responsibility because it s easier than exercising discipline. Your 18-year-old brother should not be going with an eighth grader especially this one. Her unlimited free Dom could mean a sudden end to his. Dear Ann Landers my husband and i moved Here and left our three Chil Dren Wilh my Mother because a Good Job offer came up. Three months have passed and i m dying of Lone Liness for the kids. Whenever i mention sending for Ihm he says. We can l afford  last night he announced he d like to buy a new car. 1 asked How he could afford a new car when he can l afford to Send for his children. He replied the kids arc of where icy Are. Well Send for Ihm  i Don l think this is very fall cry. He needs my signature before he can buy anything. Please advise. Mae dear Mae this is nol very fatherly and if you go for it you Renot very Motherly. Since you seem to be the one with the full set of brains in the family insist he put the kids before the car. Sign nothing. Confidential to sorry now too bad you were so impatient. You should have stayed with him until he got his strength Back. He said he was tired not dead. Ask for another Chance. Readers respond to letter on South Africa this letter is in response to the Tetter Reader angry about distribution of  he comments i am angry. If there were a country anywhere in inc world where Blacks were oppressing Whites to inc degree Hal it is going on in South Africa America would have stepped in Long ago and removed that  is he suggesting a . Military invasion of South Africa if not what cd ally is he suggesting sensible persons know inc Folly of such an invasion and for this writer to state he is angry is to be simplistic and non productive. Instead we should look at the Issue of apartheid with less emotion and More reason. Leon Sullivan a Black Baptist minister and former director of general motors has such reason. He has developed six principles to be used by . Companies doing business in South Africa. These principles arc equal pay for All employees White and non White doing equal work. The initiation of training programs to prepare non Whites for administrative Lechnick and clerical jobs. To increase inc number of non Whites in manage ment and supervisory positions. To fully integrate Whites and non whiles to in clude work and Caling areas. Equal employ Mcnol practices for All employees. To improve the Quality of employees lives oui Side inc work environment. Scores of companies arc following these six principles improving the lives of thousands of non White employees. Proof As to the worthiness of Icse six principles can be found in inc Gallup poll from March of this year. The poll reveals Hal 85 percent of South african Blacks arc opposed to uni cd states divestment in their country because it would Lead to unemployment and poverty. Regarding South Africa now is the time for reason nol invasion in inc name of anger Todd. Blair Vonhausen West Germany in an attempt to provide some balance to the recent letter and the disinformation of the Ultra Liberal press that he and others suffer under i would like to present another View of South Africa. Aside from having worked in Africa. I have also had the Opportunity to talk to Many others who have worked or lived in sub saharan Africa. My research reveals in South Africa the Blacks have jobs housing schools hospitals and Law and order. In the rest of Black Africa they Don t have these things. Most of the Blacks in South Africa left other coun tries to seek jobs in South Africa. They arc likewise free to go Back to other countries in Black Africa if they think they can get a better Deal. In the rest of Black Africa tribal warfare is still Prev Alent in South Africa it is not. Idi Amin murdered 3 million of his own countrymen was that of because he was Black Jean Bokassa ate More than a few of his own countrymen. Inside of two years the Black govern ment of Zimbabwe managed to ruin the country s Economy and introduce tribal warfare once again. Crew members of freighters have told me the Only port cities in All of Africa where they could walk around at night in safety were in South Africa. So the Blacks can t vote in South Africa. Where can they vote meaningfully in the rest of Black Africa the left Wing press refers to Nelson Mandela As a Black activist when in actuality he is a self pro claimed communist terrorist who would be imprisoned in every other country of the world for his activities. The Bottom line is the Whites in South Africa treat their Black Brothers better than their own Black Broth ers do anywhere else in Black Africa. I know this idea will be difficult for Many to accept but very often reality is quite different from what the Liberal press would have you bal civic. Should some readers desire to provide a counterpoint to my letter i would be interested in hearing How Nice the living conditions arc under the Black governments dictators of Africa. Name and location withheld writer comments on solving problems even though Brig. Gen. Dennis p. Malcor provided a polite and thorough response i would also like to address a Lew comments to the Soldier who complained about everything in Schweinfurt except the thickness of the pavement in the track Parks. I spent More than five years in Schweinfurt not Loo Long ago. I was always Able to resolve any problems that arose no matter where they were encountered. I found that the commissary managers cafes employees the folks at the Gas station class i store etc., were always helpful and normally appreciated prob lems being brought to their attention. If they could solve a problem i knew i could always elevate it. Though 1 rarely had to do so. Thai s the great thing about the military everyone works for somebody and thai somebody gels paid to solve problems. Anybody can solve a problem but finding solutions is a Little More difficult. Good soldiers Are taught to help solve problems. This Wriler needs a Little More training in the problem solving process. When you re finished complaining about the Bank line Whai Gale you need to use to gel off Posl. And other such life threatening adversities you re Welcome to come Down Here and Sec How professional soldiers and airmen handle their inconveniences. Musij. Herman t.
