Many 14 months 14 months of finding the Lack of Stock rotations in the commissaries to be being stationed at i either shop for groceries at Span Dahlem or depending on my i have found Stock rotation to be poor in both com i have purchased a number of items that Are out of Date by one to three my complaints have been acknowledged with an apology and a request to Check expiration i now Check the expiration dates but i am shocked to find Many products that Are out of Date on the i visited the commissary at Pitburg on May and found a Kraft product that Best when purchased by who inspects military commissaries for Stock having worked in a i know the department of health did not look too favor ably on the practice of leaving out Date Stock on the what is the reason for this is it apathy on the part of those who Stock shelves or is it a Case of not restocking a product until whats on the shelf is sold bal Lender Span Dahlem Germany Reader complains of speeders it is very upsetting to look out my win Dow and see scores of cars racing through the housing More than half of these cars Are germans taking shortcuts through the housing area to avoid Busy intersections that surround the housing with summer vacation and children out of i can foresee Many accidents ahead involving motor vehicles and Pedes is there anything that can be done to discourage the uses of our pedestrian priority area As a Short Cut or Speedway perhaps by installing Speed bumps granted it would be an but Are not our children Worth the extra pre cautions Claybaugh Germany editors note Ronald Augsburg Deputy Community replies individuals who Speed through the housing areas Are of great concern to us this problem was identified at the Augsburg family symposium in october since that time military police have increased their patrol time in the housing areas by 25 this includes the use of in the Community has re Quested the City of Augsburg to approve the housing traffic sign placement once this is completed the German police will also use radar and help enforce traffic regulations on the German Public who travel through our housing with the Onset of b17 construction a majority of the through traffic problem will be alleviated As there will be limited Access to the housing areas and Many of the old shortcuts will be the use of Speed bumps is an idea which has been evaluated previously As a Means to slow Down traffic throughout the Augsburg the following information was provided on that subject at a Community meeting on March 1985 German Law prohibits the use of Speed bumps in the housing areas and Usa eur supplement 1 to a 42072 prohibits their use on there Are several ways that personnel living in the housing areas can help fight this problem by reporting violations of traffic Law to the military police which will result in action being taken if the violator can be by encouraging building and area coordinators to organize residents to help control and supervise childen playing in the housing they could Monitor crosswalk prevent children from playing in the Street or in Engineer work by encouraging the parents to adequately supervise their children while the Augsburg Community staff always welcomes questions and Sug in late 1984 the Community implemented a better idea the forms and drop boxes Are located in the basement of the Community Headquarters building at the entrances to the main Exchange and commissary the Hospital and the Sheridan Community members Are encouraged to submit their american express is defended reminder All letters to the editor must contain the full printed name and address of the writer and must be we do not read unsigned but we will withhold your name on request and protect your i am writing in response to a recent let we always hear complaints about american i Hope that this letter will be because its not a the individual stated that a Normal Bank would be open every saturday and extended hours on the first saturday of the where did he on the Moon having worked at several stateside Banks for a number of years i know what in talking the majority of stateside Banks now offer automated Teller machines service three to four hours for limited serv ices at one Branch office this is my third tour in Germany and american express has always had German holidays not both German and Ameri an announces that your local Bank ing facility will be closed on these German the army allows All individuals to take a lunch Are the american express employees not entitled to one the office i utilize has staggered lunch hours to better serve the its people like the writer who would have Banks working 25 hours a 8 Days a As for the personal Check limit of the Bank Doest make the the department of the defense he should count himself Lucky that he can Cash his checks at All most stateside Banks dont Cash personal checks unless you Are known and have an account with that All Banks have policies and regulations to so does the they Are there for a i have personally waited in Long lines at other but i have never enc Oun in the Bank or other lines 1 Miles Long lines can be attributed to some people not being prepared before reaching the As i have observed Many american express has come a Long Way from the first time i was i have Al ways seen the american express employees helpful and courteous in the Branch that serves my family and if an individual does not like the services of american he can Cash his checks and buy Marks at the local finance office or at the Exchange for the amount of Purchase or provided ones Check cashing privileges have not been if he needs Marks and other currencies he can buy these downtown at a local Bank at a lower i feel we should be thankful that the German
