When i get on an air plane i have to sit on the aisle or i fed trapped. I know i have a form of Claustrophobia but i Don t want to go for counselling be cause i m afraid if people find out i m see ing a therapist they will think i m unstable and it will Hurt my career. My Mother told Trie that when i was 2 years old we were in a blizzard and our car ran out of Gas. She and dad left me in the car while they went to do is. The Snow was piled up All Over tile windows and i was alone crying for four hours until they re turned.

Al Rex Krite i. Ms5z-40m please enclose a Long self addressed stamped envelope they can provide you with effective treatment facile lies id your area. Dear Ann Landers everyone knows what cigarette smoking does to the Hurt and lungs but i wonder Bow Many men realize that a Eiraj tape Techy is highly correlated with cigarette melting. Of the 1,011 impotent males that were seen in the new England male reproductive Center at the Boston University medi Cal Center 78 percent were smokers. This follows As a logical conclusion from every thing we know about cigarette smoking and what it does to the Wood vessels. More bad news in most cases Potency docs rot return when the smoker quits. The Marlboro Man should be More Hon est with us. My. Asst. Professor of urology Boston University medical school. Don t blame the Marlboro Man. Blame he tools who think they Are going to look die him when they Light up. The irony of it All virility is what these poor suckers Are after and then Here comes some new Evi Dence Tutt smoking May interfere with re production 1m Aster sol. Bruce Zuelsdorf i must com mend you. No matter what the question or what the problem is you always answer cafes is giving the customer what the customer warns. Tell me sgt 7., How do you sleep at night you either have no conscience which i doubt or you just Don t under stand the facts which i believe is the prob Lem. How can you in nit Han sly say cafes gives us what we want when in reality All cafes wants is a monopoly Here in Europe now 1 Don t say that just to get your Dander up although i m sure it did but let Sookul the facts first the commissary started to sell soft drinks in february 1986. That s wonderful but what docs it have to do with cafes  you Sec inc commissary to Tittl buy i hair soft drinks from other vendors and sell it under the Price of the cafes beverage stores. However cafes which always gives the custom Era what they want fought what will go Down in history us the great soda pop Baltic and won. So now the commissary buys from the cafes beverage store at a 5 percent discount and then adds their required 5 percent surcharge to make the Price equal la what cafes charges. Yes the convenience of buying soft drinks is there but at a vent Price it s interesting to note Here thai As soon As cafes won the War they raised Ilie Price of beverages in the Rcv Cruc store. Nothing like kicking the military limn when tics Down huh. Ski second cafes is trying unsuccessfully so fur to Lake Over the mar audio photo clubs. The word an the Street is cafes Munich is giving no Moo Subtle hints to vendors that if they sell to mar cafes will no longer buy from them not exactly an ethical business practice by anyone s standards. What will taking Over the clubs Mann in terms of giving the customer what he wants not much what it will give inc customer is fewer options. The customer will either have to shop at cafes or go onto the Economy. So cafes takes one giant leap toward becoming a monopoly third mar is no longer allowed to Start a service without checking first with cafes to see if they can provide it. Now cafes can say they Wilt do something effectively cutting off mar but stall on doing anything until everyone has Given up Ever seeing it. Lastly cafes brought Burger King to Europe. For that i thank you really. But now that Burger King b Here the push is on to close Down the other snack bars on the installation mainly those run by mar. Again closing these Dawn serves two purposes it limits the custom ers choices and builds the cafes monopoly. Now master sgt. Zielsdorf you re in Possession of some facts As they arc perceived by a customer who supposedly wants these things to happen have Faith however that you la silly sleep soundly at night. After All All these Deci Sions Are above your pay Grade so Why worry about something you can t change ? i Hope though that knowing these facts with some extrapolation As to what cafes � motives might be since i can t believe the customers Are telling cafes they want this i Hope you will Stop telling us All these things Are what we want. By the Way i d love to hear what your Bosses have to say on these issues but 1 doubt they la Ever answer them. If this letter is Ever printed i m afraid cafes would have too Many congressional that they might be forced to give the custom ers what they want. A concerned Patron somewhere in Safe editor s note Brig. Gen. E.6. Leedy commander cafes Europe re plies in that you d indic in Hinr from masters a a Tolsdorf s Boss an these in pics and a foul Ohki i la t to answer Ihunt i in pc decided to do so again. Sec my response with respect to the same  in the letters to the editor column March 14 edition of the Stan and stripes let s take the facts in the order of your confusion concerning them. Soft drinks in commissaries cafes Europe Sells soft drink s to the army and air Force commissary systems in Europe at he direction of confess Wetth established the ground ruin so that cafes dividends to army and air Force morale welfare and recreation funds would not he eroded. Commissary officials in Europe will add they Don t have the warehouse space or distribution capability to handle such Oti increase in merchandise so cafes provides it. Don t know where you got the notion cafes subsequently raised the Price of soft drinks in our facilities must inv been n bad dream. Actually we reduced the Price Early last year and hate Hunt Tough even in the face of a reduced markup to he commissaries in accommodate their five percent surcharge thus keeping prices equal Al both facilities. Mar Entile photo clubs both army and air Force regulations establish cafes a the primary retailer on Mili tary installations nonetheless audio photo clubs and sport stores have been operated by other non appropriated fend activities for years. Mar operates of Hose facilities to generate income locally. Set Cral army communities hate recon Nylz cry hat a frs As a professional retail organization can do it belter. They have invited cafes participation in order to provide the desired level of service and to continue to realize income supporting Community self sufficiency while support ing inc cafes Mission of generating turnings for worldwide distribution through mar All at the same Lime cafes mar  re Mem a Trina that by regulation cafes is the primary retailer on military installations when a base or Community commander approves establishment of a new service he is required by the same regulations to ask cafes to provide it. It s not a new Rule and it was t established by cafes. If the desired service Falls within the cafes Purview and it either make Good business sense or is deemed by the local commander to be essential to Quality of life on the Hue or in the Community cafes will agree to provide it. The cafes him dragging you perceive occurring would hardly make sense it would be in the Best interest of All parties including cafes that the service be established 9 carry As possible. Wit Bare id sleep on that one. Burger King introduction i m glad you like them really. Also glad our other 700,000 customers do. The overwhelming response to the cafes Burger King res Laurants clearly Den Parrales that we Hare hit on what the customer wants. If cafes did t fill that need someone else would and we would lose out on two accounts. The customer would travel further and pay More and our installations would lose the Money coming Back in the form of morale welfare and recreation funds As Well As new or renovated cafes facilities.  other food service facilities arc Clos ing Down Dot Only those operated by mar but also those operated by cafes it is simply the result of custom Era exercising their Freedom of Choice and opting for commercial Nam Brand fast food thai s what free Enterprise is All about and that s what the cafes mis Sion is provide the goods and services desired by soldiers and airmen As a complement in the Quality of life benefits and entitlements provided them by appropriated funds. You can rest assured thai both master set. Z. And i Are Able to get our Zzz Zzz secure in the fact hat we Are responding to our customers needs within inc guidelines provided by Congress and Jour military Board of director.
