European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 2, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Monday february 2, 1987 the stars and stripes of Fla 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers Why can t we gel something done about using the mercy cocktail for terminal cancer patients in this country it has been used in England for almost 100 be had to stand by helplessly and watch several relative suffer Tor months with illnesses that were incurable. It Mattes you want to take to the streets and look for a drug dealer. Jat St. Christopher s Hospital in London the mercy cocktail has been used for Al Moit a Century. Its ingredients include liquid mor Phine for pain Relief liquid cocaine to create a feel ing of Well being and liquid codeine to us press a cough and to further act As a pain killer. In addition a drug is included to combat nausea. Sugar water and a Spike of Gin Are added to is a potent Ink. The patient remains awake is free of pain and is relieved of the overwhelming feeling of depression. The cocktail is used Only when there is no Hope of Relief by any other method. A group of physicians re views the Case and consult with the patient relatives and a religious adviser. Once the decision is made the patient it truly relieved of the fears associated with the illness and itt terminal Hope you will print this idler and offer your Opin Ion of not Only the cocktail but euthanasia which in in Youir i n,. Letters dear san Antonio 1 Beuerle the mercy cocktail is sensible and humane. Euthanasia or mercy killing Hererer ii my without , in the United states it of against the Law to commit Lalette. Assisting someone in that act is also illegal. While ii might be a great favor to help a suffer ing Friend or relative find peace through death Euthana Sia. U legalized has some inherent risks. For example children or grandchildren who want to gel their Handsaw an inheritance could work in Cahoot with an ims Cru Piloo doctor to declare a patient incurably ill when he or she la Mlan added Hazard an illness which la incurable today May be curable tomorrow. Alto suicide it considered Agran at by catholics jews and Many other religious it most insurance companies will not pay in the Ernel of sul de. So you see it in not As simple As Yon aught think. Dear Ann Landers 1 sympathize with the checkout clerk at the super Market who wrote to you but the customers have a Tough time of it too. May i say a few words about express lines a frequent problem is that people can t count or they count in different ways. For example to me 10 items Means 10 items. Some people consider four Gallons of milk one . They also consider seven cans of dog food one woman ahead of me this afternoon had two boxes of Oatmeal two boxes of Corn flakes two boxes of bran Cereal a Box of Crape nuts and n Box of shredded wheat she had two bags of flour three boxes of sugar and five other items. When i told he politely that she had purchased 18 items she glared at me and snarled mind your own How do those of us who play fair Deal with these Sleazy characters Vicksburg miss. Deu Vickson t get into argument with strangers in the super Market or anywhere to the litre manager that a person be hired to Monitor the express Una during Rush Hoar and that easterners who can t count be redirected my am mtg in to Kertu Andhiv Chr. Vout Timof Loim in Art at 1t� St Flo sep i. Apo 09211. . Forwit writer asks straight answer on stationing i am hoping that some Day someone will provide me with an intelligent and Concrete answer other than because that s the Way it is or it s pan of our Overall stationing Why must the stationing logistics people insist upon adding More people to already crowded areas like Frankfurt bad or Cugnach Augsburg trails him elc., just to name a few7 As a result of this increase stationing the demand continues for the directorates of engineering and housing of these military communities to find adequate leased housing in already crowded areas. This Lack of housing also forces a Soldier to come to Europe on non concurrent travel until adequate hous ing is found. This sometimes can take up to a year in Many of these areas. It has been found that in Many of these areas not Only does the added strength of additional soldiers and their dependents put a Strain on the already existing housing problems it also puts an added Burden on the schools commissary Post Exchange facilities child care facilities and parking around the leased housing areas As Well As the shopping centers. And traffic has increased Between the caverns to where u sometimes May take All Day to go across town. It is a known fact that rental rates in the larger Over crowded areas Are almost double Hose of Rural area. There is just no longer land available in Many of these Urban areas on which to construct leased housing. The saturation Point has been reached. Why not consider putting the soldiers and their de Pendents in. Or adjacent to training areas where Many of our soldiers spend much of their time training i.e., Hohenfels graft Woehr Wuerzburg Parma sons etc.? there is much More land available in and around these areas for the construction of Large multiunit leased family housing complexes at a much lower per month Rale than the crowded Urban areas. A Developer can provide a 200-unil Complex in a Rural area for what it would Cost for a Ido unil Complex in Frank fun. Economy and common sense should be compatible i would certainly think. Nome withheld Heidelberg editor s note or. Michael r. Gill installation planning division Deputy chief of suit Engi Neering he Usa eur replies we i Hank Yon have asked a Good question. The intent of peacetime stationing it to support Usa heur mis Sion requirements and farce modernization and improve Quality of life. The analysis done in the planning stages of each Anil move considers up to 49 factors in particular crowded conditions in housing schools and Community str Wrt Ore to be avoided or minimized As much at possible a Tough task bul Progress in being Mode. When unit moves and organizational realignment Are approved it is a Usa eur goal to provide Hoosig government controlled or private rental to hut every Soldier authorized be bring family members o the com Mand May be adequately homed within 60 Days Olarri Are striving id achieve this goal by fiscal 1990. Until then we will have some delays in homing for there is just not enough housing for All soldiers to get concurrent travel. Incidentally current army in Europe figure show that 64 percent of Oil soldiers who want concurrent travel get it in response to your other suggestion that Usa eur place More troops in or near major training areas a Are building new Anil facilities at Vilseck using just the principle you housing could be built new major training areas by private developers if they were willing to risk investments in a Rural area. However for la Large Many people not just is. Forces. As a result Usa eur has had More Success with entrepreneurs providing additional built to lease Boos ing units in Large cities than in run treat near training areas. In summary stationing decisions Ore not driven solely by Mission requirements. A on aware of the problems Yon addressed and will continue to modernize with the Soldier and family Foremost in our plans. Thank you for your thoughts. Writer comments on sex enemies reunion the article teen vet reunion Story wins $10,000 Conlest deserves comment. The article written by a teen age observer was a description of a reunion Between an american Veteran and a japanese Veteran of the Battle on iwo Jima Dur ing world War 11. First allow me to congratulate the Young Man for winning the International letters for peace contest. However May we never forget what issues were involved in that Battle and in that War. At that Lime the enemies of the United states rep resented the worst form of human behaviour Ever re corded in history. To Tuff Jet that id Jima is an example of the stupidity of War because 40 years later veterans meet and Exchange greetings is 10 demean All those who perished there. I can assure you had the japanese won the War inthe Pacific there would have been no emotion lined reunion of former enemies. The Young Man mentioned in his article that he would be reluctant to kill i enemy knowing his grandson might embrace his former enemy 40 years utter. Can appreciate what he meant and 1 am sure most of the 6,821 Young americana killed in that Battle Felt the same Way. But do please remember those ideals that these men died for Are unique to a free world. Where compassion and reconciliation Are possible. Nothing has changed in 40 Yeara. Men and women still struggle to maintain a world where Good Over comes evil but not without sacrifice. Be proud to be an american and a member of the free world and a world where former enemies can be come allies and friends. Bul never forget that in order to remain free and maintain peace it requires the same love Devotion and strength the marines showed on two Jima Charles j. Crane Frankfurt Nephew of Marine pfc.
