European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 24, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes a Page 11 letters a a plea for understanding Between race Sann Landers dear Ann Landers i never thought it would happen to me. I m a youth group Leader and everyone in the Community my cols me. No one would Ever believe i am having an Altair. Sometimes i Don t believe it myself. I have a wonderful. Hard working husband who is 100 percent supportive and Loving. There is no excuse for what i m doing i met Quot Jason at work. He paid a lot of attention to me and made me feel desirable. I had never made love to any Man other than my husband. Jason said we could just be friends if that s what i wanted but he made it Plain that he would like More. I did t have the Good sense to say no. The affair has been going on for two years. I be never been so miserable in my life. I find myself chasing after him. Which i hate. I am the one who sets up All our meetings. He never spends a Nickel on me and has never Given me a gift of any kind. When we make love. I have to be totally responsible for birth control. When it s Over he is out the door within minutes. I have told him twice that i Don t want to Sec him anymore. Both limes he wrote me such Beautiful letters that i went Back to him. I feel so hypocritical and worthless. I be wasted two years on this bum but 1 can to seem to let him out of my life. I can t go to a Counselor because it would be too humiliating to Tell anyone what my life is like. Please say something to set me straight. I la look for your advice in the paper. A world s biggest Damn fool dear Friend you say you can t go to a Counselor because it would be too humiliating. I disagree. Counselor do not sit in judgment. They put you at ease and help you see the Way out of the mess. In the final analysis Only you can Tum your life around. I urge you to make an appointment at once. Dear Ann Landers it can be frightening when a crying child is unable to catch his breath. I have seen distraught parents and other caregivers resort to Yelling shaking slapping and even dousing with cold water in order to Force the child to breathe. Years ago. I Learned a simple effective solution a simply blow air into the child s face. He or she will immediately take a breath. My doctor confirmed that blowing air into the face triggers a reflex reaction that causes a child to inhale. I have done this Many times with my own three children and it has always worked. Please pass the word. . In Racine wis. Dear Racine thanks for the excellent advice. Consider it passed. Dear Ann Landers can you stand one More Story about Hospital Bills i fell Down a flight of stairs and dislocated my shoulder. My family called the doctor and he instructed us to meet him at the Hospital. The pain was excruciating just getting in the car was an ordeal not to mention the Ndoc across town. When we arrived at the Hospital. I wanted to wait in the Hall until the doctor arrived but the nurse urged me to use the wailing room. The doctor arrived set my shoulder and sent me Home. When the Hospital Bill came. I was charged si07 for a occupying the waiting  a Santa Barbara Calif. Could you print this in the Hope that it May help others enjoy and understand what Black history month is about it is dedicated to those who Don t understand Why we have this month and those who have lost their Way. This letter is written with the Hope that it May help some people understand a the  my interpretation of it May not be the same As yours but i Hope this inspires those of you who have lost Hope and those of you who feel Blacks arc belligerent ignorant violent and uneducated. I could continue with enough names to suit the bigots who preach such negative beliefs to their children a who also grow up believing such false tales. Blacks of America Nave been freed since the emancipation proclamation. Blacks were Given the right to vote in 1919. The years have been partially successful with the development of the a act and Black americans who have had the Opportunity to run for president governor mayor and senator. We be had the Opportunity to Advance because we Are educable honest Loving people. Our ancestors had it worse than any Black american today. They were slaves who were taken from their Homes and brought to a place to labor for those who thought themselves to be the a chosen  some differed but the majority remained abusive and overbearing i can t begin to Tell the stories of what Black women went through or the children who were separated from their parents. And let s not forget the Black Man who was deprived of his right to be a father or the right to be considered a Man. Today Blacks arc criticized for their acts especially the i decorous acts of criminals. I ask a a what was he taught Back then this is in reference to the stars and stripes commentary titled a the year from acc to Zurbriggen a where Bucky Fox said a a a Usa eur. While Gen. Crostic Saint canned the Usa eur championships former sports Boss Don Claycomb uttered nary a Peep. Maybe if someone had questioned Saint to his face he would have let the Usa eur championships live just As he did the army a youth sports  from or. Foxes comments in the referenced commentary it is apparent he is unaware of army staff procedures. The action concerning Usa eur la vol sports was coordinated and concurred in by each ump military Community commander. These commanders unanimously agreed the program had the wrong pm today is the Day of tomorrow and we make tomorrow from today. I ask you to look Back and behold those with nothing who became something. It took hard work education sacrifice dedication and the will and need to be somebody. For you Sec we All arc somebody a White Black yellow and red. We All Are people from the same world with different beliefs and origins. That s the Only thing that makes us different. I look at Africa and say that one Day the dream will come True. One Day they too will be free and have the right to vote and the right to democracy. This is Why people must help one another and Stop this judgmental society from corrupting the minds of the children. Teach them All history of different races and origins with equal depth. The darkness must come to Light. I Hope this letter opens the eyes of Many who have prejudices because of false tales and beliefs. I address this to those of you who Are lost and can t seem to find your Way. Try god. If he is not the answer look within your heart and set yourself free. Use your anger and energies toward positive things and leave those negative feelings behind. You must learn to apply yourself and Stop blaming it on your race. It s inside. You must have the will and the Power to prevail Over All the mistrust the corrupt have instilled in Many minds of those who Are not color Blind. It seems that when we take two Steps Forward we take one Back because of the sick minded individuals who have no sense of direction or dignity. I Sec the dream but i have not been to the Mountain top. But i la keep climbing and trying. Why done to you a pvt. Randolph k. Dickens Erlanger West Germany Phasis Over the years and a change in focus was required. Based on this guidance the cinc commander in chief decided to eliminate the Usa eur level sports programs. Or. Claycomb chief of Usa eur sports at the time acted As the action officer to develop the plans to implement this change. He performed his duties in an admirable manner and successfully accomplished the requirements for which he had been tasked. Or. Fox s treatment of or.
