European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 22, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday october 22, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers letters dear Ann 1 Winders please educate the Public about a form of child abuse that can be reme died. I refer to the cruel practice of making Small Chil Dren be ring bearers and Flower girls in weddings. As a Clergyman 1 was once concerned about inc Way these children disrupted rehearsal distracted from the solemnity and dignity of the cer Emony and brought an air of theatrics 10 inc proceedings. Now i Cali a that even worse is he emotional Soresi inflicted upon these children. I have witnessed Loving grandparents sauce a a Little Arm and whisper angry profanities mixed with bribes to a child in an attempt to gel cooperation. I have seen children crying and pleading to be set free from having to go through with it. Cod Only knows what harassment must have taken place before they left Home. Can you or your readers give any Good reason Why this custom should continue 1 have considered asking our Church Board to establish a policy forbidding this prac Tice. I know it would stir up a real Hornet s nest but it would be Worth it if Only one child is spared unnecessary torment. Hurry Ann someone out there is plan Ning their wedding today. A Fkd up cleric in Rochester Minn. Dear Roch i m going to make Ery few friends with my response but i agree with you. It s he same uneasy feeling i title about Beauty contests for Little girls. And now 1 am prepared for the inevitable blizzard of letters from brides their mothers and the parents of Flower girls and ring bearers who will Tell me the kids were simply adorable and they loved doing it. Please Don t Send me any photos folks dear Ann Landers people write id of about their most intimate problems. I am sure Many Cor respondents sign their real names to the letter. While i Trust you and feel you have a great Dea of integrity would it not be possible for a disgruntled member of your staff to acquire some of the signed letters for blackmailing purposes arc they kept on file please reply in print. . In Boston dear . No letters from readers Are kept on file or anywhere else. All mail is destroyed As soon As it is answered. In the 30 years that i hate been writing this column 1 to Neer had an employee who proved untrustworthy. I always hate done my own hiring and apparently hate unerring instinct for Good people. Dear Ann Landers i have been writing to John for three months. He is 34 years old. 1 am 37. John is in prison in Texas and is scheduled to be released in March of 1986. He has asked me to marry him by proxy. 1 live in Michigan and have no idea if such a marriage would of Legal in this state. Also is it expensive 1 really enjoy his letters a lot and his pictures show him to be very Good looking. Please let dear Detroit any woman who marries a Man she has Neer seen and in prison yet is not playing with a full deck. The fact that he would suggest a proxy wedding should be the tip off. John sounds Ike a con artist. Back off. A Tadori a Lina to will Lon amok a Somji Ull Cix unlit lan1oe1n ,mjf5jj to nil  his request for healthier food items is answered on a recent visit in the . I Gnu Ken t help but not ice the no menus products being sold in our grocery stores that were Sugi irless and heist with lows it or no sail added i  even Able to buy sugarless ice Cream four flavors. Fructose was used to sweeten the product. It proved to be a bet Ter tasting ice Cream. Why does t Zafus make this available 1 also whole Grain Spaghetti and other pastas were much in evidence As Ems a Multi grained whole wheat bread with no sugar or dextrose added. Apparently someone with common sense and Good nutrition on his mind is Reali my that Good bread should not be made with anything but wheat hour yeast water and shortening with a dash of Salt or none at All it desired. Here in Italy the Vicen ii bakery adds colouring. For what reason 1 Don t know. It surely does t improve the bread i All. I also noticed in the United slates numerous breakfast cereals without sugar or Salt. One can even buy Frozen waffles nutria Grain without sugar. 1 am concerned because often i read Arti cles in the stars and stripes put out by the surgeon general or some nutritionist regard ing Good health and nutrition. These Arti cles arc of Little value unless you give the buyer belter options on what to select in the commissary. It s like talking about nil the evil of to Bacco and alcohol and Slot machines All Are frowned upon for one reason or another and Cyl no Effort is spared to make these Avail Able. 1 realize that people Are free to choose but let s not make it so easy for people to make the wrong choices. It s costing the taxpayer too much Money to rehabilitate the numerous abusers. I almost forgot. I mailed Back two Small Cartons of sugarless Peanut butter. It took 10 Days and the contents held up Well with out refrigeration. The Aviano dental clinic from Lime to time exhibits sugarless cereals in the Library show window. It s a Good idea. If you have Young children you should Stop and look. Your kids Teeth just May last longer. If we Are going to continually beat our Gums and talk a Good game on wholesome and Good nutrition like so Many other use less monday morning quarterbacks then i think the fir play ought to begin with the buyer for a a fes. They should do some better research and Sec what s available out there. It would also help if they would read the labels. The military buyer overseas is a captive one. What better place is there to introduce and make available products that arc truly wholesome. Also the italians have several soft drinks with 12 percent fruit juice and no sugar added. Why Don t we buy this product and get rid of All the chemical mixes we sell As soft drinks. Pen pals Preist place my name in your pen pal column i am 13 via i old.

European re Gion in accordance with acc oms Ponicall stores Are set to include a special fitness food Section. This Section is normally the first Section in the store s shopping pattern.

The air a Nice commissary service working with the base nutrition experts took aggressive action to promote health food products through the use of healthy heart shelf talkers Good nutrition Bro Chures and health food sections. The air Force commissary service also added several lines of health food products to their item selection. However without preservatives the products usually have very limited shelf life and Are often nearing the end of their shelf life by the Lime they Are received overseas after 60-90 a s shipping time from the time they leave the manufacturer and arrive at our commis sary locations. Customer demand for sugarless ice Cream has been ver limited and is there fore not stocked at the Kaiserslautern cold storage Plant which is the Central storage facility for Centra Kurop and the Mediterranean area. Space constraints Usui ilk do not allow the facility to carry a product that is very Low in customer demand.
