European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 9, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday May 9, 1990 the stars and Stripe Sann Landers dear Ann Landers v after 30 years of marriage my husband and i decided to make out our wills. I assumed that we would go the usual route name one another As beneficiaries and leave everything to our children if we should die together. I was wrong. In the lawyers office my husband announced that if he died first he wanted to leave everything to our children because i would probably remarry and he did no to want another Man to live it up on his Money. We nearly split up Over this. I gave him six Beautiful children and am a devoted wife. I also have contributed financially to our marriage holding part time jobs All through the years. It was devastating to learn that he does no to love or Trust me enough to leave me financially secure. After much discussion he agreed to leave me everything if i promised to Divide the Money among our children if i should remarry. Reluctantly i said i would but i am very bitter. My friends think he was totally wrong. He insists however that most husbands would want the same Deal. What do you think a still bitter in Madison dear still most husbands not really. Only the Small minded ungenerous ones. A Loving Man would want his wife to be comfortable and Happy in a second marriage. If you Are still bitter by the time you read this please get counselling and ask him to join you. You need to work through the anger or it could ruin your life. Dear Ann Landers All through school i was an a student. I now hold a position that requires a High level of intelligence so i know i am not stupid. But whenever i go off the beaten path i become confused. Most of the time i can find my Way to the places 1 must go but i always have trouble finding my Way Back. Shopping in a mall is a disaster. No matter How hard i try i am unable to locate the door i came in and i keep going around in circles. When i was in third Grade i had a terrible time learning directions. I remember my teacher taking me by the hand and walking me around the room. She tried to help me by pointing out that the windows faced East but As soon As i left that room i was sunk. Is this an illness can anything be done to help people like me a St. Louis dear St. A make that us. 1 am hopeless when it comes to finding my Way around and in be tried everything Short of dropping pebbles. This is not an  its a deficiency. Some people Are tumbleweeds others Are homing pigeons. In a sure it has to do with a a built in Compass that some people have and others done to. Dear Ann Landers. Recently my granddaughter remarried. She had a Small Chapel ceremony and said she was inviting Only the immediate family. According to her definition this Means mothers fathers children and siblings. I the grandmother and my husband were not invited. There was a Small gathering at their apartment after the ceremony. Several cousins and friends were invited. We were not. Miss Landers will you please Tell me Are grandparents a a immediate family or not a . In . Dear . Grandparents Are As a a immediate As you can get. If it weren to for grandparents there  be any family. C creators Syndicate Page 11 letters fees for Auto Craft facilities discussed i have often taken my car in for an Oil change at Lindsey air station and was very Happy with the system. I change my Oil quite often a every 1,500-2,000 Miles when i can. It seems to give me great results in prolonged engine life. In the Mainz area i lived in an apartment building with no Access to a garage so it was very convenient to Stop at Lindsey Ana for a nominal $1, use the a a pit and be on my Way in half an hour. Out Here in Kitzinger i had mostly done the Job at Home until this cold Winter set in. I decided one Day to Stop at our local crafts shop at Larson Barracks. As i was about to sign up for a Bay i noticed a $3 charge. I asked the attendant if the $3 charge applied to me for just changing my Oil. I was then informed that it would be a $4 charge. Needless to say i have since very gladly spent the 10 minutes on my Back in the Street to change my Oil. A Edward j. Cors Kitzinger West Germany editors note a it. Col. Rebecca s. Enck director personnel and Community activities Wurzburg military Community replies the Larson Auto Craft shop As All of the Auto Craft facilities in the Wurzburg Community has a Bay fee with use of a lift for $4.50 an hour. Use of the pit or Bay . Postage still a bargain i  let the comments in a recent letter to the editor go unanswered. The Cost of . First class postage has always been a bargain and remains so today. Among the industrialized countries of the world ours is the lowest. Look at european postage Germany is 1 Mark Italy is 600 lira France is 2.20 francs Etc. Even Canada is now 39 Canadian cents. After conversion these All exceed 25 cents or even 30 cents the number of new Stamps and their subjects is controlled by the citizens stamp advisory committee. The Law of Supply and demand also comes into play As the last thing the postal service wants is to turn off stamp collectors. But the Bottom line is that new issues result in a profit for the postal service about $10 million in a recent year. That Many Stamps actually go into albums and dealers stocks and never get used for postage this profit is much More than the Cost of designing and producing the Stamps. Finally it should be noted that the postal service actually downplays Stamps considering them mainly As a Means to an end a paying postage. That there Are so Many Stamps issued each year is More a recognition of political reality and a meeting of customers needs than a postal requirement. Even that $10 million profit is considered unimportant taken in context to the total postal service annual Cash flow a Nicholas she Stople Neu Ulm West Germany without a lift is $3 per hour. These fees Are in line with Usa eur recommended rates and Are reviewed at least annually by the arts and crafts Branch. Revenue from these fees provides both new and replacement Naf non appropriated fund tools and supplies As Well As required maintenance to Naf Auto Craft equipment. However it is Standard policy throughout the Wurzburg Community that if a customer is changing his Oil and is finished with the Bay within 30 minutes the Auto Craft facility charges half Price $2.25 or $1.50 depending on which Type of Bay was used. The Auto Craft facilities must adhere to the standards of the Federal Republic of Germany in collecting used Oil and this action is not without Cost. Wed like to remind All americans who May be using their housing areas or other unauthorized areas for changing their engine Oil that they could be subject to substantial penalties by the German environmental Agency. Considering the unique service offered to customers at the Auto Craft facilities and the savings that each customer receives when compared to having an Oil change at a commercial facility the fees charged Are incredibly Low. We Hope you View the charges in this perspective and will take advantage of the Auto Craft facilities in Wurzburg. Reader finds Rev. Rice a ideas offensive 1 was very disturbed by the Rev. Larry Rice a idea of eating rabbits at easter to a Depagan Izez the easter Bunny and advocating eating Deer at Christmas. Easter represents a a rebirth renewal and Here a a minister wanting rabbits and Deer killed and eaten the Rev. Rice does not know religious history either. The christians originally took the Pagan rituals of Spring Fertility renewal rebirth celebrations and made them into their Christian easter rituals. Easter is celebrated one week after the Spring full Moon planting Moon and has never been celebrated on a specific Date year to year. Easter depends on the full Moon a its Pagan heritage.
