European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 14, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday. September 14, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers what can be done about news bulletins on the president s physical examinations that Are unnecessary vulgar and go far beyond the people s right to know the first lady has begged for privacy regarding such matters. I fail to understand Why her wishes Aren respected. A simple the president of the United states does not show f signs of cancer would satisfy the entire world. But no. We have i heard repeatedly about his Colon his polyps and the removal procedure and have seen published sketches of his intestines. More recently behave seen diagrams of the president s kidneys and ureters the tubes through which urine flows As this morning s paper put it. Do we need a recital of the cyst Copic examination. In which a tiny tube with a Light source and a Lens is inserted into the Penis and through the urethra into the bladder these intimate reports Are degrading to the presi Dent and they must be wrenching to the first lady. Are they this necessary How did we become so insensitive and ill mannered it did t used to be this Way. Madi Monett dear my it b mental that the american pub us be informed of the state of our president s health but i agree wholeheartedly that the coverage has been tasteless and unnecessarily  did we get this Way it began with president Eisenhower Doltis. Next we were treated to president treban s daily taint output during the last Days of his life. Following that came president Johnson s Well publicized gallbladder scar. Nixon and Ford were reasonably healthy and so was president Carter but we did read and hear a Good bit about Carter s  believe the Public has a right to know the whole truth about the physical condition of its leaders but there is no need to publish coarse and offensive details that strip individuals of their dignity. I wish the Media would Knock it off. Dear Ann Landers my husband is running for the state Senate. As you May be aware campaigning is expensive and exhaust in both physically and mentally. Every Day monday through Friday 5-9 ., sat urday 1 1 a.m.-7 ., and sunday 2-7  We walk door to door telling the voters what my husband stands for and Why he should be elected. There Are Many other difficult aspects of campaigning but my frustration is primarily with the door to door visits. We have been walking for six weeks. During that time we have worn out six pain of shoes been bitten by a dog the owner did not offer to pay for new sucks had doors slammed in our faces and been told to go away we have been threatened with arrestor trespassing and littering. Only two people offered us a Glass of  Landers Tell your readers we Are not solicitors or salespeople. We Are patriotic americans who Are on the voter s Doorstep for the Good of the City state and country. Please ask the great american Public to be Little More thoughtful. An angry helpmate dear helpmate a May think you re patriotic two to the folks who answer the door you re just another salesperson sell ing a candidate instead of a product Efcy to the world dont Yon Campaign in shopping eaten and High traffic areas in front of business build Ings going door to door is very risky these Days and unrewarding As Yon have discovered. C Una America synd Tate letters constructive suggestions welcomed recently there have been letters leveling criticism at cafes and master sgt. Zilsdorf s usual replies As to How to complain. This is a second tour for us in the United kingdom and i find the same things wrong with our Exchange in 1986 that were wrong in 1977. There Are Short stocks of necessary items and Loo Many other items beyond the budget of the average military shopper. It seems to me that if cafes has t gotten the Mes Sage from people who complain at local meetings to managers and through this Section of the stars and stripes they must not care about anything but the almighty Buck. As cafes is based in Dallas i often wonder if a. Ewing is in charge. Teresa r. Nystrom Raf upper Heyford England editor s note Brig. Gen. . Leedy com Mander he cafes Europe replies complaining won t get you anywhere. Why dont you try a constructive suggestion things Haven t changed in the United kingdom since 1977? be serious. There Are new laundromats cafeterias food uts Gas stations and a myriad of other Cus Tomer services being initiated even though profitability is often limited due to the size of the Community. Over the past five years cafes Europe completed 37 major facility upgrades in the United kingdom valued at More than s4.4 million and projects valued at$1.6 million Are under construction. Want to share some comments from the upper hey Ford command endorsement that led to that Exchange being selected As Best Exchange in cafes Europe out lying areas for 1985. I have observed an unparalleled pervasive spirit of cooperation responsiveness to customer needs innovation and service orientation towards providing maximum support for the 20th tac fighter Wing and the entire Raf upper Heyford four base Complex. The aggressive management approach and follow through to improve facilities has continued to impress me. The cafes team in the United kingdom has not passively waited for things to happen they be taken decisive Steps to make things happen. The upper Heyford command further commented the improvements to facilities noted above on their own Are outstanding but without the Exchange manage ment s commitment to provide total customer service they would be greatly diminished. The attitude of top management Down through store managers and their staffs has been aimed at improving Courtesy service and in Stock conditions. In recent visits by air Force teams the cafes in team and other cafes staff members our Exchange employees have proven their dedication and commitment to improve service by their  you see not everyone shares your View that simply complaining constitutes a contribution to the Quality of life of airmen soldiers and their families. In cafes we believe the year of customer service does. No cafes Europe spokesman most certainly no master sgt. Zuelsdorf Ever told anyone How to com Plain. We have told oar customers How to make their voices heard and they have done it in positive constructive ways that make things happen. I suggest Yon join the chorus attend and speak Pat your Exchange Council meeting or go see Lonnie Pecor your Exchange manager. Hell be More than Happy to talk about your ideas for still further improvements of Exchange service at upper Heyford. Edvon troth general manager for the United King Dom will be interested in what you have to say. I continuously work on customer perception of cafes throughout Europe. We leave . Out of it.

Cra Menon 678/17 8900 Augsburg West Germany personnel services Branch office of the adjutant Gen eral he Usa eur replies the writer is Correct personnel Are Only required to surrender their id cards for identification investigation or As collateral for a Short period while visiting a con trolled or restricted area. Surrendering an id card forthe purpose of receiving a Hose to Wash a military vehicle does not meet these parameters. The bearer of an id card should ask to speak to the supervisor or individual in charge of the facility when requested to surrender the card for reasons other than those stated. Because of the present terrorist threat and increased awareness of Security within Usa eur. We advise Al personnel to follow the Lead of the writer in questioning reasons for surrendering the id card. Family offers thanks thanks to All who answered my Pica for my Hus band Allen a. Jennings.
