He was injured several months ago and they put him In the Air Force hospital at Elmsdorf Air Force Base, since the Army has no hospital nearby. He has had three knee operations, the last one May 19.

He is due to be discharged in October J971. Will he get a disability discharge and will the Air Force give the Army all his medical records and add them on his discharge? Should all the operations and treatment be written by the Air Force even though he is an Army man? 21 'Jr II III ANNOUNCER TED BARBONE, on top of the board that gives stock market reports over station KDNL, Channel 30, in "Financial Obierver" show.

Interview by a for-mer host of the show, Dick Quigley, scheduled daily in addition to Barbone and his guest. BARBONE DOESNT insist Ann Landers college was all she could tolerate. She left in a huff, mad at everyone and was subsequently fired from several jobs because of her temper. Sha was not speaking to us when she married so we wera not Invited to the wedding. Her husband is exactly like her abusive to his parents, and discourages any contact with us because we are "trouble makers." You'll probably say that had we raised our daughter properly she wouldn't be this way and you could be right.

But do you have a word of comfort for us and for other parenta Who are completely alienated from their children? We need it. WALLED OFF YOUR DAUGHTER'S hostility, her inability to get along with other relatives and friends, her conflicts in school and In the work world, are all symptoms of a severe personality disorder. This girl is more than ornery, she's lick and ihe's been sick for a long time. It's useless to tell you now what you should have done 20 years ago, but for the parents whose children are hostile, angry and given to frequent tantrums, I suggest a neurological examination to determine if there Is a physical reason for the volatile behavior. If there is no evidence of a physical problem, by all means take the child to a psychiatrist for an evaluation.

If therapy is indicated, no time should be wasted. The earlier the treatment, the better chance for recovery. To parents whose grown children behave as your daughter does, I say this: Stop catering to them, stop trying to appease them and for heaven's sake stop blaming yourselves! No one knows for sure why some kids turn out beautifully and others are loused up. The experts have expressed a variety of theories but nobody knows for sure. As I've said before, the same fire that melts butter hardens iron.

It Is all so casual, however, that there probably is a minimum of irritation. The Channel 30 show has all sorts of viewers.

THERE IS standard procedure for transferring medical records to the Army in such cases, so there should be no problem. It will be up to an Army medical board to decide whether your grandson gets a disability discharge or disability retirement. In such cases a disability discharge is most common, if the doctors decide his disability rates one. On discharge he would be transferred to the care of the Veterans Administration, which would probably treat him in a VA hospital. Military hospitals are usually limited to active duty and retired personnel.

The Air Force records naturally will form the big factor in the decision. showing bullish tendencies? "No," said Barbone, smiling. "We have no control over the music.

"We've also had tips on grooming, information on fashions for men and women, and we plan to have Dory Potts of the St. Louis Public I a on the show."

This is KDNL, Channol The show is ''Financial Observer" and it runs nearly six hours every weekday, 9: 15 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stock market reports are the meat of the show.

Every time there is a sale of one of the hundreds of stocks listed on the New York or American exchanges, it is reported on the electronic board at Channel 20. In addition, the Dow-Jones averages are shown and twice a motel chain Air bags being tested as a safety device by the executives of an auto firm. But Reuters also thought it important to give its I t-ment-conscious subscribers i the same hour a report on the Apollo 15 mission, the latest development on the Pentagon papers, and the news of the Paris peace talks.

As long as leave those two things alone, I am free of cankers. MX. WELU YOU ARE saying what I've said before. The important thing is that you took your doctor's advice. Sensitivity (allergy) to something or other is often the cause of cankers, although that isn't saying It is always the cause.

From long habit, people are more used to saying, "What can I take to get rid of my trouble?" rather than "What must I avoid to get rid of the trouble?" But, as you've learned, avoiding something may be the real solution. If the offender is a food (as often it is, with cankers) the trick is to find out which food. An elimination diet is usually the best way to find out. Cut diet down to a few foods that are not commonly known to cause allergies, Then add new foods, one at a time every few days. Keep Jn mind that it is possible for trouble to be related, at times, to foods which for most people are not troublesome.

Wheat, milk, eggs, other ordinarily "safe" foods can bother some people. The method you follow was a good one and it worked for you. I wish a lot of other canker sufferers would do the same thing, instead of expecting a remedy to be provided for them. But I also want people to keep in mind that there can be some pitfalls. The cankers may not result from a food but from something else.

And if the method you described does not Identify a trouble-making food, then suspect that one of the basic staple foods may be at fault. DEAR OR. THOSTESON; I am 33, mother of three, have always enjoyed the best health. I've Just learned' I have fibroid tumors in the uterus. My doctor said nothing need be done unless they give me trouble.

I understand if one grows large, it is removed. Why wait for others to grow? I would prefer my uterus removed once and for all. Am I wrong? A.F.A. I'D SAY you were. Many times fibroids never cause any trouble, and even sometimes shrink after menopause.
