European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 12, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday March 12, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11ann Landers letters dear Ann Landers please educate your readers today. I am talking about the Way deaths Are Han died in some institutions. When my parents and i went to the Hospital to be with my husband we / were told he had a gone into cardiac arrest and had been taken to. The intensive care unit. A nurse ushered us into a Small room to  the room had two chairs a table and a phone. There was no clock no tissues and no water to drink. We were kept in that room for two hours with no word from any one. Finally when i could t stand it any longer i went to the nurses station to find out what was going on. Of the nurse said has t anyone asked you who your mortician is that is How i got the news that my husband had died. After the funeral the Hospital Bills arrived i paid them the following week. Thirty Days later i received a Bill listing my husband As an  i was charged for treatment and medication Given a week after his death. Why in t deceased stamped across the charts and forms that remain in the Hospital dead people do not return and run up additional Bills. They blamed it on the computer but Aren t people responsible for what goes into a computer i say Gar Bage in garbage out. I Hope you will find space in your column for this letter. It ought to be read by every one who works in a Hospital. Something should be done about the heartless Way they treat people. It is a disgrace. No name just one Day at a time in  Guys  . Calif what a Story i m sure you were too shaken at the time but it is not too late to Call on the superintendent of the Hospital and Tell him or her How you were treated. The person at the top should be informed of such incidents. Thank you for writing. Offer my condolences. Dear Ann Landers your answer to lonesome & misunderstood the 19-year-old College student who said he needed to be hugged was not your Best. You should have told the Guy to join a Square dance club. An awful lot of hugging goes on among Square dancers and nobody is self conscious about it. When the caller yells yellow Rock it is fair  hug anybody in the place. A lot of Nice Friend ships Start that Way. My wife and i belong to three Square dance clubs and we recommend these clubs As a Way to meet fun Loving wholesome sober people. No need to be lonely. Jus sign up handsome John Klamath Falls , handsome thanks for the tip. It sounds like a win Ner to me. Dear Ann Landers i read in Harper s Magazine that in a poll of individuals who had been divorced or separated 58 percent of the men said they were happier since the split and 85 percent of the women reported they were happier. Does this poll make sense to you what do you think it Means puzzled in Mill Valley  Puz the poll makes a lot of sense. Generally speaking it Means women Are More resourceful when it comes to picking up the pieces and making a new life. Also Many married men depend on their wives More than they realize and they discover that being on the Loose in t All that terrific. Readers wishing to write to news America Syndi Cate columnist Landers May address their letters in care of the stars and stripes Apo 09211, . Spec. 4 tells russians to keep caviar and propaganda having seen Abc s nightlife with Ted Koppel addressing Russia s objections to Abc s anybody care production of amerika i m compelled to write my opinions. Who runs America anyway Koppel made a reply to the soviet representative that made my Day As i be been trying to follow the Progress of this partic ular engagement. The russian mentioned that the . Has some catching up to do in regard to the Exchange of culture. We have published 15 volumes of american literature and have in one of our Heaters a production of orgy and Bess " if i re Call accurately or. Koppel replied there is a very Nice production of Swan Lake Here in Washington sometime  then Cut to a commercial. It May be a cheap thrill but i thoroughly enjoyed his comment. How very big of Russia to allow the showing of a play that portrays the life of american Blacks in the depression of the 1930s. I suppose a chorus line might instigate some defections what do you suppose those 15 volumes of literature might be considering people like Angela Davis remember her Are teaching the glories of communism to Cali fornia College students for How Many semesters now Reader recalls first Germany tour i was dismayed to read on your letters Page about same old problems  seems the poor fellow and family flew to Europe and his sponsor was t at the right terminal he has to live on the eighth floor of a hotel he is separated from his Little dog and he must pay a Kennel fee out of his own pocket. He lost 40 cents in a Pepsi machine but finds Comfort that the stars and stripes still Only costs 15 cents. More depressing is that the chief warrant officer is 17th on a standby list for the free train to Bremerhaven. Remarkable that under these circumstances he is Able to mention his purpose in military life to get ready for an inspector general inspection. Thinking Back to my first tour Here i recall thousands of us arriving at be Havre by ship As infantry replacements. We were taken by train to Metz in 72 hours. There were no complaints about Beds chairs or lights there weren t any in our boxcars. Our first night after travel we got to sleep inside on the floor of a former cavalry stable. Our sponsor did t meet us either. After a couple of Days at a repple dapple we had a 6-by-6 ride to join the 90th division. We were unaccompanied so we did t have to look after housing Etc. As a matter of fact most of us did t see our families again for More than two years. Pen pals i would like pen pals from All Over the world. I am 22 years old.

Rosalina Valencia Combado Bais Central Negros Oriental Philippines i have read that our government has made a practice of publishing communist literature for Many years at no Cost to the russians. It makes me wonder which country is behind in cultural  do the russians allow us to teach our politics in their schools the things Russia exports that arc considered excellent arc Vodka caviar trac tors ak47s, and tanks not to mention anti american propaganda. The Krem Lin s response to our Media is typical of what i be found coming from them crud and Boorish. Not having seen amerika yet i can t judge whether its contents arc Worth while. It must come close to the truth or Russia would t have screamed so loudly threatening Abc news correspondent Sand All. With All the stuff i be seen in the history of television the Only objections i be been Able to exercise have been to turn the set off and read a Book or change the station. If amerika offends the russians ask them How Many afghans slavs East germans or any of their allies can Ever watch the show at All Richard Nixon states in his Book the third world War that we have been in world War Iii Ever since the end of world War ii and we Are losing  Why do we Send our wheat to people who Are our enemies and neglect our own citizens i Don t even like caviar.
