A sanitized bookstores if the army and air Force Exchange service did not want the responsibility of running a Bookstore operation then Why did they ask for it i May be wrong but it seems to me that at some Point in time they must have been asked if they could provide the same or better service As stars and stripes. Whether or not cafes realizes it part of that a same or better service is to provide an equal or better variety of magazines and books in the same categories already provided. It seems to me that cafes is taking the easy Way out of a potentially Sticky subject by saying that they will limit or Cut Down the number of adult magazines they will carry. Perhaps if the . Military Community bands tool her and Speaks out cafes will find that the a easy Way out is not to limit or reduce the number of adult magazines they will carry. This is not just a question of morals but an attempt to limit the already few rights that Are afforded the military members overseas. As for the american women a activities Germany members claim that she can no longer take her-9-Ycar-old son into the stars and stripes Bookstore because of the adult magazines on display there i find it hard to believe that her son was Able to Sec any More than the title of a Quot Magazine. With this Type of mentality the Only thing we can expect from our new a Book stores is a very limited number of books and magazines. Done to forget that most fiction material for adults contains some instances of sex. Oops you can to get your favorite woman a Magazine this month it has a sex Survey in it. Well that leaves us with a very limited selection of children a books and technically oriented magazines that we will be Able to Purchase.

Sharing schooling i read with interest sue palumbos report on the 58,100 annual department of defense dependent schools tuition required for no Active duty personnel desiring a Dodds education for their child. I am on Active duty and have two children eligible to enrol at the Dodds school at Aviano a Italy and will have three eligible next school year. My children attend local italian Public school however As we prefer the approach language training curriculum and proximity of the italian school Over Dodds. Mike Monaco at Naples Italy is Welcome to the classroom space and services that my children would have utilized had they attended Dodds. Because my children Are registered assigned classes and teachers and listed on the Rolls i expect that the a a Cost of their education is being reimbursed to the Aviano elementary school at the Standard rate 58,100 annually. _ Dodds like any government bureaucracy especially one with a hard to measure product like education socialization is inflexible when confronted with unique situations and is generally unresponsive to the ill do find customer. My recommendation Dodds should track and account for potential Dodds students who Are registered for Federal funding purposes but do not consume resources by virtue of being Home Host nation or privately schooled. These positions should be made available to . Citizens who desire Dodds schooling but cannot afford the exorbitant Cost. A capt. Karen in Kwiatkowski Aviano a ital who a getting hooked i am applying to obtain a fishing License Here in Ansbach Germany at soldiers Lake. It is going to Cost me $37.50, which i do not mind paying i will be Here for three years. I also understand a minimal fee will be paid to fish in soldiers Lake but if you plan on fishing More than once a month this fee could get outrageously expensive. 1 am a dependent and i also have two 11-year-old boys. I sat Down and figured it out. If i go fishing four times a week to get out of the House for one year it would Cost me not my children $1,920. To me that seems a Little outrageous. If i stay Here three years and fish four times a week it would be $5,760. Why done to they have a yearly rate for dependents and military personnel o fish in soldiers Lake instead of trying to Rob us a Dwight a Erickson Ansbach Germany h commentary War reports used to prize style not Speed by Marsha Mercer Media general newspapers War correspondent Ernie Pyle landed on Omaha Beach the morning after a Day. In his first column from France he wrote a now that it is Over it seems to me a pure Miracle that we Ever took the Beach at All. For some of our units it was easy but in this special sector where i am now our troops faced such Odds that our getting ashore was like my whipping Joe Louis Down to a today news coverage of War is instantaneous with scenes that Are brutal and bloody. Fifty years ago news came at a far slower Pace with much left to the imagination. People around the world knew almost immediately that the allies Long awaited invasion of France had started but details were sketchy. From today a perspective the stories from France in 1944 trickled out. Pyle a first column from Normandy with its descriptive reference to Joe Louis did not appear until june 12. For Many people worrying about their husbands sons and Brothers in Europe 50 junes ago a splashy spread in life Magazine provided some answers. A few. Life a coverage of a Day did not appear until the Issue of june 19, almost two weeks after the invasion. Life a article began with this curiously cautious observation a the weather was not Good for invasion last week along the coast of the Story notes that a although the first reports of landings indicated Little opposition Quot which seems incredible knowing what we do today the photos by Robert Capa being published for the first time show a How violent the Battle was and How Strong the German life also noted that the extent of casualties in the Normandy landings had not yet been announced. Even today exact numbers of the dead and wounded in the first 24 hours of the invasion Are estimates. Despite the restrictions Pyle gave a keen sense of the carnage on Omaha Beach. A submerged tanks and overturned boats and burned trucks and Shell shattered jeeps and sad Little personal belongings were strewn All Over these bitter Sands a he wrote. A that plus the bodies of soldiers lying in rows Cov ered with blankets the toes of their shoes sticking up in a line As though on Drill. And other bodies uncollected still sprawling grotesquely in the Sand or half hidden by the High grass beyond the at 43, Pyle was a generation older than the combatants and he routinely referred to the american soldiers As boys. So did Ernest Hemingway who at 44, had moved from newspaper work to become a Well known novelist when he covered a Day. The Young soldiers he wrote about called him a emr. Hemingway vividly described the Days chaos As Landing crafts cockeyed for position and tried to figure out where they were supposed to land amid heavy enemy fire. He ended his piece with this a there is much that i have not written. You could write for a week and not give everyone credit for what he did on a front of 1,135 Yards. Rea War is never like paper War nor do accounts of it read much the Way it looks.
