Ice lot an Oriti to twi by Dicalo weak Dollar boosts commissary prices i read with interest the recent letter questioning the commissar prices in Italy and the reply from col. Wright. In fact the prices of eggs did almost double but col. Wright addressed Only the Issue of shipping costs As raised by the writer. I would like a simple reply slating Why the Price of eggs specifically and other Dairy products were increase. One example is Yogurt which increased by about 30 percent name withheld Kenz Italy editor s note col. John f. Wright com Mander. Defense log Tia Agency defense subsistence Region Europe replies As tie commander of the defense subsistence Region Europe dare in Happy to respond to the Reader s question concerning Why the prices of Dairy items have inc reined. All of or Frt a Dairy in docs Are procured Iron european worm and sch the method of payment to the supplying Render a usually la the form of the local currency. At everyone has noticed the Nune of the Dollar Hii declined Lignel Skully daring the past Yew which mean that the prices of european Nodi bight in Levrau of the Dollar Hare bowed i direct proportion to drat cite the example id the letter concerning Yogurt vet. Indeed the prices hire increased rather dramatically u of late. The dare Dairy Branch establishes contract for Yogurt it Gnu on a yearly Bash and us present method of payment for All Yoairo to menu in in rope is in pm Niue Nulu. Between 1986 us 1987 the Marie Price of Yogurt Rose Only slightly by about 3 per cent to 4 percent however the Dollar Exchange rate that we used As a conversion Factor during the past year from june l986-m�y 1987 declined by about 24 per cent. So while the Mark prices of Yogurt remain constant for a la month period the lowered Exchange rates result in higher prices at the Cash Register. While the wholesale prices of locally procured Yogurt remain the same for one year the wholesale prices of eggs again in local currency Fluor met on a monthly basis. Historically the Cost of eggs has always risen sharply around easter As the Vendor know that the demand for eggs will be High. Thai is exactly what Tran spire this year. For example. In september 1986, when eats were inexpensive and the Dollar had More baying Power the Price of italian eggs was 91 cents per Down and German eggs Cost 44 cents per dozen. In april the wholesale Price Rose and the Dollar fell melting in ant of $1.51 us Jim for italian and German eggs respectively i m pleased to say that the egg prices Are again Shew ing i downward trend. At the time of this writing ital Ian eggs Cost $1.15 per dozen and German eggs Are Down to 76 cents per dozen. Why the disparity Between the exp from Italy and ctn any again a ppr demand. What ii important to Ali ii thai a combination of factors of whole Sale prices in terms of local currency Exchange Rales and product availability All affect the end Price of fresh summary la it our goal to provide the commissary Patron with the Best Quality items for the lowest possible prices. Please Bear in mind thai we have no control Over the value of the Dollar in relation to other local Henrren cd. Nor can we alter Market trends in regard to Folh the Etc of inflation of european wholesale prices or the business practice of our local Tendon. Reader wants break from military videos i would like to make my Point Brief and would Welcome a response from the cafes Movic Thaler personnel. When i go to a movie it is always for recreational enjoyment or an Opportunity to get away from the pressures of the Day. 1 resent very much having to watch a video of military Maneu vers and heavy combat vehicle played to the tune of our National Anthem. This Beautiful and highly revered Melody has so Many Lovely images associated with its meaning that i find myself closing my eyes and shutting Oul the raging tanks and replacing them with a mental image of the grand Canyon the american Flag and the Shenandoah mountains. 1 believe our free recreational time should be void of military overtones reminding us of combat readiness which we As members of the overseas communities Are aware of every Day As it is. In tight of the old phrase walk softly but carry a big stick i suggest we Stop waving this big stick a in every movie theater before every movie and return to the Beautiful splendor of America s vast and wonderous landscape. Please allow the soldiers and their families to have an emotional pause from their everyday task of readiness. I believe we Are All Well aware of our Mission Over Here and proud of i without taking it into our off jut hours. Jean a. Stewart Neu Ulm Germany editor s note la. Col. Charlie White pub Lic affairs officer he cafes Europe replies while i can understand your desire to Tea Ieth Job behind while attending the Heater i think Yon need to reflect on the words of the National Anthem and the events thai led franc i Scott key to write the poem we now know As the Star spangled it was from a Sloop in the Chesapeake Bay where he realized that the British Navy recognized the fortification and defense of Baltimore was Loo formidable to risk attack lag.
