European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 12, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday. February 12, 1988 the stars and cripes 11 letters another Side to illegal alien problem recently Here have been a rash of articles on he illegal aliens thai were being used for baby Sitters and nannies in the government homing treat. I have Sci to see one article or one letter front a family who actually employed an illegal alien As a Nanny. I feel thai it is Only fair that we be Given equal time in print Tor our Side of the Story. I employed unknowingly an illegal woman from the Philippines until the article started and the raid on the housing area started. Up until that Lime i had no worries about my son or my Home. My husband is a sergeant in a Field unit and in order 10 make ends meet i went to work. It was with profound Relief thai 1 found this woman to take care of my ton and my Home. When i arrived Home my House was spotless my son clean Well fed and Happy. We had never received any complaint from our neighbors or our friends about her. The Cost of a baby litter was j100 every iwo weeks. When the raids started she became frightened and did not want to gel us into any trouble � she left. After she left i obtained a listing of the acs baby Sitters in my housing area and the two closes to me. I took time olt from work and called every name on the list. There were no openings for a 2-year-old. One acs Sitter said she might have an opening in a month or so and that the Cost was s240 per month for one child no meals or snacks provided. I called the child care development service to see about possibly placing my child in the Day care Center. The wailing list for the Center at Abrams and at 97th Genera Hospital it seven months to a year for a per Man enl lol. The Cost is $260 per month for the first child and since i am expecting my second child in july the additional Cost for the second child it 1225 per month. The Loial Cost of baby lining would be 1485 per month for two children. Thai is equivalent to three weeks Worth of wages. My Only Hope is that i can find a Friend to watch my child or i quit work and stay Home and Hope that we can make ends meet my child hut the Best of care lots of love and i had peace of mind concerning my child and hit environment. 1 wish i could say that t am the Only one in this predicament but unfortunately i am not. What do we do now quit work and possibly be forced to leave Germany due to the High Cost of living what a being done to help the Soldier and his family acs qualified child care prices Art outrageous and there is no love and no individual caring included in this Price. Why can t there be an arrangement made to allow thue illegal aliens to acquire a residence and a work permit if gainfully employed perhaps a sponsorship program could be started some help needs to be Given to the Soldier and his family. Thanks Tor listening to my Side of the Story.

Thank you for your com ments. Solution to tipped vending machine i am writing in response to reports i have seen on an and the recent article in the Siars and stripes concerning deaths and injuries which have occurred from tipping Over soda machines. I worked in a laundromat As a civilian and the Way we stopped people from lipping Over our vending machines and washers was simple. We put Cement anchors or lag bolls Dir wily Imo the floor or the Wall behind Ilic martinis. The whole process look about 30 Mintus and Cost a Dollar. I think this is a logical Way to Slop this problem and anyone can perform the Job. All that is needed is s doll bits and bolls and some sockets or wrenches. Ann Lander tools and parts can be obtained from one s unit or can be bought at any hardware store. T Hope someone who reads this Tetter will use my suggestion so we can put an end to this problem.
