European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 16, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Arm Landers dear readers Over the years i Hare understandably managed to alienate some readers. Recently i fell out of favor with the medical profession the Legal profession and the insurance companies. I cannot however remember Ever having an entire City mad at me. Today it i Norfolk a. Recall the Reader who asked if the people in Norfolk had gone bananas he claimed that the pry Council voted to spend $25,000 to rehabilitate two crazed chimpanzees in to Newcity zoo. Reader said it is no secret that thousands of homeless Art living on the streets. Many of these people Are mentally 111. Soap Kitch is have been set up in churches to feed these unfortunate Folk in Many cities service geodes have taken Over became the local gov pm rents say they Don t have adequate funds. Yet in Norfolk they Are spending $25,000 of the taxpayers Money to give psychiatric care to a couple of chimps. Is this nutty or am i crazy i allowed u How Norfolk had gone a Little ape. Then the ceiling fell in. Norfolk mayor Joseph a. Leafe wrote dear Ann Landers it is apparent Ann Landers that you Are not aware or nil the facts. The Norfolk City Council did agree Topay $25,000 for one half the Cost of relocating and housing the two chimpanzees at a facility in san Anto Nio noted for its animal behaviour studies. The other $25,000 was donated by local and National human agencies. The funds Are for the permanent relocation or the chimps and not for psychiatric treatment. Mayor Leafe s letter was one of the nicer ones. You Skosow have seen some of the others. The most informative letter came from mrs. John n. Selby. She wrote dear Ann Landers i Don t know All the details but Here is what i have read about the chimps at the Norfolk zoo. Please share this with your readers. As things stand the City coun cil of Norfolk has been made to look a bit  and Judy were raised by a family from birth. They wore clothes slept in a bed ate at the table an went places with the family. They were treated like  Don t know Why but the chimps were put in the zoo. They have no clothes no table to eat on nothing to do and nobody takes them anywhere. They Are bewildered frustrated and Cranky who can blame them Chuck and Judy have been shipped to san Antonio where animal behaviour experts Are trying to straighten them out. In Light of these facts perhaps you will decide the citizens of Norfolk Are not All that crazy. Lee Selby dear Lee thanks for the update. Before i write again about psychiatric care for chimps 111 be a Monkey s Uncle. Dear Ann Landers a few years ago my husband and i were Nimg a crowded bus in Paris during Rush hour. A frenchwoman in her mid-30s boarded the bus and stood near us. My husband As is his custom got up and offered his seat. The woman seemed interested in our  a few moments she said in perfect English would you mind telling me your nationality i an swered we Are  i m surprised she re plied. I had decided you were canadians. I lived inner York three years and no Man Ever offered me his  this be True _ e.n., Madison wis. Not acquainted with new York subways or buses. Does anyone who is care to comment Page 11 letters Reader finds much to learn in Europe having just resumed from a wonderful and pleas ure filled trip through the Beautiful country of Den Mark i must respond to the letter writer from dram Ming Denmark. My wife and i found the danish people wherever we met them open generous hospitable exciting it Cetera the same adjectives the writer used to de scribe us americans. We also found More danish flags waving from flagpoles and adorning cars trailers buses shop windows and Homes per Square mile than we have seen anywhere in the ., even on the fourth of july. We think it s wonderful that Danes arc proud to be Danes As we Are proud to be americans. In fact we think we should follow the danish example and Fly even More of the red White and Blue. If the writer Means americans should t wave the Flag outside their own country i agree with her. It s an embarrassment to Many europeans who Don t own their country s Flag. If the writer is not referring to Flag waving literally but figuratively i must comment that americans have no monopoly on that trait either. Perhaps one of the reasons we like the Danes so much is because they Are so much like us americans including being Quick to generalize about us from their visits to the  And criticizing and laughing at what we do  Are probably right seeing us through clearer eyes when travelling As we May be right about some four criticisms of europeans ways. In Short All of us could learn Many things if we would Only be open for new impulses and ideas to slightly alter the writer s closing sentence. By the Way my maternal grandmother was bom in Denmark Mak ing me a danish american in spite of my italian sur name of which i am also very  Manalli saunas Stern Germany agree that people should be More tolerant of each other. I myself have thoroughly enjoyed my first year Here in Germany. I be found the German people to be charming Friendly helpful and hospitable. Of course there Are always a few exceptions. The same is so for americans. I believe that most Are appreciative of the Opportunity to live and learn in Germany and in other parts of Europe however there Are always those exceptions americans have always had a Large amount of National Pride but in these last years i believe it has been exaggerated a bit because Many americans feel that our country is the target for a lot of unfair Antic is. And unfavourable  addition terrorists have singled us out recently and Many americans feel isolated and afraid. As result we have Felt a collective need to show our National spirit and Pride in our  is a Good country filled with Many Good people and we love it therefore we feel impelled to defend stand extol its Virtues unfortunately there Are always some who get carried away with their  m glad that you arc a person who appreciates Good people regardless of their nationality. I feel that Way Aswell. I have Learned a great Deal from my German friends. Before i close i d like to emphasize one thing More that after All is said and done and we have Laid our collective prejudices angers jealousies and hatred aside we emerge simply As Brothers and Sisters from one family the human race.
