Nothing was a ironed out a although it was beneficial to identify the Many concerns of those forced to live in Naples with insufficient support. If the outcome of the symposium was a an unfiltered unbiased report card a it should be noted the Grade was  this is an indictment against the entire system of . Government agencies Congress and the department of defense. Those serving overseas should not have to lower their standards to serve their country. Your innuendo stating a complaint a a popular pastime for the 8,000 service members civilians and their families seems to imply the a a concerns of the Naples military Community Are not to be taken seriously but Are Only a Normal grumblings made to pass the time of Day. Move to Naples a your perspective and attitude would change. I would like to thank capt. Glover and Asa naval support activity for taking the positive Steps of conducting their first Community symposium on Quality of life issues. It was also worthwhile to learn that a Onsa understands that the Ball is now in our  Isnit that where it has been All along a Susan Weir Naples Italy e a caring honest people on nov. 23, i inadvertently dropped an envelope in the Truman Plaza mail pickup Box an envelope full of Money. Realizing what i d done i lived anxiously until monday morning. I called the main Apo at 566th postal. The courteous person who answered said they would keep an Eye out for my envelope while sorting the weekend mail. My Joy was hardly contain Able when in the afternoon after proper identification i picked up my envelope with every Bill inside. Gloria Rivera who found it and her supervisor staff sgt. Carlos Rodriquez could not accept a Reward Only my gratitude. I am again reminded that there Are caring honest people in our world. Again thank you. A Connye Schuetze Berlin Safe sex necessary it seems that the writer of a abstinence As options has solved not one world crisis but two. She advocates abstinence As a Means of aids prevention. It seems to me its afro a Good population prevention measure. No More overcrowding. No More anybody. If we All abstain from sex there wont be any people around to have aids. She says it s the Only �?o100 percent  i  mention that to Ryan Whites family or anyone else who a contracted it through tainted blood or was born with it. This is another example of someone who wants to Bury his or her head in the Sand and Hope it goes away. It wont. You gotta teach it away. She was a a floored by the lesson that was Learned by the 12-year-old, who said that a people have to take it More seriously a have Safe  personally in a Damn glad the boy got the message. Someone has explained the real Deal to him and he a Learned. How Long would she wait until she explained things to her child or is she also one of those parents who think its up to schoolteachers to do their a dirty work the Only reason abstinence Isnit taught As an option in the classroom is because of another ilk of Parent who finds it disgraceful to discuss sex education in school. You cannot mandate or dictate to others on an Issue As personal As sex lives. You can Only educate. Now through the Power of magic As the old line goes it seems to be working.

How in the world can they Call themselves americans with attitudes such As theirs what makes the citizens of Dubuque think they Are even worthy of Black people hey Dubuque your loss is the worlds gain. Who do they think is defending their Homes rights and privileges i would hate to think that if they were sent to War they would Only concern themselves with who was going to be their next door neighbor. I thank god i do not believe them to be mainstream America As the article writer suggested. But they Are a part of it a a malignant part that needs to be Cut away and sent out of the United states to build a a their own country. There is no place in the continuous struggle of human life for attitudes such As these. Done to worry Dubuque. I for one done to believe you have anything i want or need. You re Safe from this Black person. A a. Thomas Izmir Turkey e Check your smoke alarm smoke alarms do you have one if you live in base housing you probably do but is it wired to the Mains or is it Battery powered or hooked to the Mains with Battery backup for your safety and the safety of your family you should make sure you at least have a Battery powered alarm. This is necessary because if the fire is electrical it could Knock out your Power and with it your alarm. If you live on the Economy you might not even have an alarm. If not see your first sergeant and he will Issue you one. Here on Raf Mildenhall the first sergeants Issue them to families who live on the Economy. If they done to do so in your area then please see to it that they do. If you live in base housing and have Only Mains powered alarms then go to your first sergeant and get a Battery powered one. It just might save a life. A Karl j. Chase or. Raf Mildenhall England e e �filmmakers9 rights you must be kidding. The theory that movies Over a year old such As new Jack City and colors tending to stimulate a reaction within gangs Are in any Way responsible for robberies in Stuttgart is ridiculous. The letter said that these types of movies Are a just filled with  wrong. These movies Are about corruption. Gang members and drug dealers did no to get their ideas fro movies. The directors and producers got their ideas and scripts from True life stories. To Cap it All off the writer says a these movies should be censored for it is a major source of corruption within our neighbourhood a a  to that i have to ask How far should we go in not letting people use their first amendment rights the same right that those people used to make those movies is the same right that we used to write these letters to the paper. If one goes they both go. A Eric c. Tories Frankfurt Germany e e cat owner responds this is in response to the letter a pet attacked by  i really do feel Sony for you and your baby. I too am a Kitty owner. If my cat had been attacked by the bully there Are a couple of courses of action i would have taken. First i would have gone to the police As you did. If i was told that it was Between me and the suspect then i would have confronted the bully and his parents with the vet Bill Gas and a reasonable amount for anguish. If they refused then i would have taken them to court called in the witness and attempted to retrieve the vet Bill damages lawyers fee and court costs. In England the Royal society for Protection of cruelty to animals Spca helps protect animal rights. People Are tried convicted and sometimes receive prison sentences for cruelty to animals. Maybe the parents would react to the thought that their a a Batty could face a prison sentence for hurting your baby. This May seem to be kind of drastic to non pet owners but to you parents out there  you do the same for your child i think you would if you decide to have a Kitty for a child instead of children human that is. Like these people my Kitty is my baby. Maybe Germany has a society for the Protection against cruelty to animals. If it does it May be Able to help you and find a Way to Stop this bully from becoming a monster. A staff sgt. Gary Jarrell Raf Lakenheath England
