European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 21, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday october 21, 1987 the stars and stripes Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i have a wonderful Job As a nurse s aide in a nursing Home. I love these elderly people because they Are so special. They have lived their lives and done Tor Wihera All those years. Now it ii our turn to do for them. But my Job is very difficult. Not became these dear people Are ill. But be cause they Are so depressed. If Breaks my heart to watch grandmother grandfathers �. J mothers and fathers wait for a card a visit or � Telephone Call. These Are the same people who stayed up All night with a sick child baby Sal whenever they were needed and did without so he daughter hey loved could have a special Drew. They have All Day with nothing to do. Up at 7 o clock Tor breakfast then a Little to then lunch More to and before you know it it s time for supper and bed. A Short visit or a ride in a car on a sunday afternoon would be like heaven. Where Are All the friends that mean so much to them where Are All those grandchildren they brag about and whose pictures they show to everyone the old folks make excuses and say. Thai s All right. I Don t mind. They Are so but i can see the tears in their eyes and i m sure if i could look inside i would Sec a broken heart. Please Ann Tell your readers to visit the elderly in personal care Homes and nursing facilities and in their own Homes. It will brighten their lives and give them something to live for. Westmoreland City a. , in received hundreds of letters on this subject Bat you said it Best. A great Rainy children and grandchildren need to tee Whu Yoa he written. Thank Yon for sharing Jour thoughts with us. Dear Ann Landers i be noticed that several readers have suggested ways to Deal with obscene phone Calls. Please permit me in share my foolproof method. It has worked for me and for several members of my family. Do not hang up blow a whistle threaten to Call the police or Tell the Guy he is a creep and a Pervert. Sim ply place the phone gently on something soft such As a Pillow or Towel and walk away. Come Back 10 or is minutes later and hang up. It is the rare and persistent caller who will Call Back after even one such treatment. What these Toots want Ann is a reaction. Anything you do to show them they have gotten to you is satisfy ing and they will keep calling As Long As they know you re upset. But talking to dead air drives them dam near crazy. This May not be As dramatic As some other methods but it sure works and it does t raise your blood pressure. Peaceful in Pennsylvania your int Hod ii Good Oik if you Don t mind lying up the phone for is minutes. It seems simpler to just hang up. Dear Ann Landers in response to your answer about washing eggs i Wist to Correct your statement it is stale and Federal Laws that All eggs must be washed with a detergent before they Are made Avail Able for Sale anywhere in the United Stales. This is to protect people against Salmonella poisoning. Anyone who wants to Wash store bought eggs should go right ahead. They be already been washed once and a second time won t make any difference.

Losing sight of its ideals says Reader Ever since an first aired amerika the seven part ministries six weeks ago it has evoked much controversy Here in Germany Asil did in the United Stales the question remains How do i As an american and one who has spent the past 20 years of my adult life in defense of America react to this ministries 1 think it comes at a very opportune Lime in history. We arc hearing the 1988 presidential elections and we see a real breakthrough in the superpower arms negotiations. But this does t gel to the meat of the Issue. Sure we can say it s Only actors acting so what do we have to worry about once the Story is Over they the Acton and actresses go Home it s Hack to Normal everyday life or is in in the last several years we be seen the soviet Union spread in influence around the Globe. Afghani Stan has been under siege for years and Many of its people arc still fighting the soviets at every turn. Cuba has been a staging area in the Caribbean for Over 20 Yean and has spread its influence to Central America. We Are aiding the Nicara iian Freedom fighters against soviet aggression. Most people say we should t be Here we Don t need to be involved in another Vietnam that my friends was 3,000 Miles away yet our foreign policy stated we would be there and so we were. Now when a country in the we sick hemisphere is in need we re willing to turn our backs on them. What Ever happened to the Monroe doctrine which basically slated foreigners should stay out of our Hemi sphere Teddy Roosevelt stated walk softly but carry a big this i believe was meant to ensure thai we would Boot any foreign government out thai interfered in the Western hemisphere. Another movie of a few years ago called red Dawn showed How we overlooked How inc soviets just Lew in and took Over the Western Usa. A War raged in the Western Stales but a Boundary did come about at the Rockies the War in the film lasted three years and America was finally reunited. What does this have to do with the ministries amerika plenty perhaps the writers of red Dawn and amerika arc trying to say something to our country what is in that has made America great these past 200 years the people that s what it s been the Amer ican spirit which opened the frontiers and allowed us to move West and expand our nation. We took our role in the world and held out our hand to Alt in need. Lady Liberty has be coned to All who have come to Ameri Ca the land of the free and the Home of the have we lost sight of inc lofty ideals which made this country what it is i m reminded of another great and influential nation Empire which lasted More than 200 years and which brought peace to the known world. This Empire waned because the people began to lose sight of what they stood for Ana the direction they were headed. America May very Well be headed thai direction today. For the past 10 years we be been celebrating our Bicentennial and this year the Bicentennial of the Constitution of inc United slates a very powerful document penned by very a Suic men with Wisdom beyond their years. As i Sal and watched part six of the ministries i was shocked by the idea of the soviets walking into our Congress and murdering our representatives. As if that was t bad enough this same group totally destroyed the capital building burning american history All with the Hope of destroying the american spirit. This i Pray will never be done. Arc we proud of America can we Mccile the pledge of allegiance where is patriotism in America today for the past 3 i i be been in Germany. I be listened to an Tell us How proud America is of us and How patriotism is really High Back Home when i was Back Home recently 1 found out just the opposite. Most folks think we re Here on a two three or four year paid vacation. Once again we re someplace where we should t be or Are we amerika has evoked anger and a sense of guilt perhaps but i believe most of All it has caused us to do some thinking and some soul searching. Do we want America sold out from under us and Given lock Slock and barrel to the soviets our forefathers worked Long and hard to give us a belter life in a free land where each Man has a a lunch. Do we want to give that away a for one. Don t. And t am sure Many of you out Uherc Don t either. I do know this hat unless we As americans band together soon and gel Back to the basics upon which this nation was founded we will surely perish. Most people Don t travel far from their Home so they have no idea of life outside their country. Being in the military and having spent 11 of those 20 years overseas has Given me an appreciation of the freedoms we enjoy. This series hints at Divide and conquer though in does t really say in. This has been the soviet s concept since the bolshevik revolution in 1917. America can continue to be the bastion of Freedom 10 the world if its citizens return to their Faith in god and Faith in heir fellow Man. In used to be that you could walk Down inc Street and Greet strangers and gel a response. But not any More. We seem to be scared of each other. What is it that makes us this Way we saw How inc townspeople of Milford banded together to help inc exiles when they were burned out by the occupation forces. I Pray thai in won t take that to get us Back together As a people. We need to be joining together today to bring Back America now May we As americans band together and make America Strong. Let s not give the soviets the Chance to walk in and Lake Over our land without firing a shot. Let s be proud and stand up to defend our country. Let s realize who our real enemies arc and turn Ameri Ca Back into he proud land she once was tech. Sgt. Steven e.
