I Oral de mar is a Small Comer of tropical heaven basking enl Cully in Ibe warm Sun. However during one week High schools from around the european continent dismiss their Stu dents for easter vacation. The Pinnacle of this week is to have fun and soak up the Sun. Before the invasion around 22 Days prior Heidel Berg was hit with big violent consistent snowstorms. A lot of students began carrying boxes of kleenex and bottles of cough syrup. Many of the blockers to a Senna just want to escape from this Siberia. So they Swap the Al Conci and syrup for some towels and tanning oils. Along with the Sun comes a Bunch of other boys and girls with the same ideas and intentions. This is where the conflict seems to begin in the eyes of the parents. They Don t realize one More Flave of Snow could make us gag. Parents might go frantic when they consider How far their baby will be in a faraway land. In the i960 movie where the boys Are Connie Francis has one phrase that sums it up. While driving Down to it Lauderdale she makes a profound statement Why Don t we admit it. We re going to Lauderdale for one reason. To meet  now insert Lloryel for Lauder Dale and boys fur new acquaintances. Everyone is seek ing new Lac no. It is human nature. I am sure that parents have nightmares that their son ii directing traffic in his pyjamas. However the truth of the matter is life is just As dangerous As you make in. The majority of the students attending this week of Paradise obey the Noble words of Nancy Rea Gan just say no unfortunately the actions that occur in Heidelberg during Spring break arc far More devious with people jumping off the alte Brill pc. Nat a single soul has clone any Type of leaping in Lloryel bringing up the movie where the boys Are once again the Nead of the police department states they the students celebrate the rim of Spring and they have the right  this ii the total truth. Spain is just a weel Dong preview of the collegiate life that is fast approaching in fourth gear. Everyone works hard and deserves a great we Klong mental break from the stresses  life. More Over Spring break in Lloryel de mar is a Lime for Stu dents to let their hair Down and wiggle their toes in the land of life. Jhm Cooper Heidelberg cafes advertising policy adults values questioned i be always been annoyed at cafes habit of inter mingling merchandise prices at our Reg among Sale items in its special inserts to the stars and stripes and other advertisements. Previous letters concerning this subject have elicited the Stock answer that cafes is merely calling Consumers attention to special products and that advertising does t necessarily mean offering something at a reduced Price. Dictionary definitions notwithstanding such an answer is nothing More than a rationalization since in american culture a person Reading through such an advertisement expects to find each and every item marked Down in Price. Discovering this not to be the Case one frequently feels that he or she is the object of an attempted deception. No reputable retailer in the states would dream of engaging in such a practice because to do so would alienate More potential customers thin it would at tract with All this in mind i could t help but note the irony when cafes advertised a Pioneer pd-m90x compact disc player at our Reg four Days after Rais ing the Price from j450 to j53s. Maj Gary full Nolan Raf  England editor s note it. Col Charlie White pub Lic affairs officer he cafes Europe replies the practice of advertising hems at a regular Price is not � practice unique to cafes Europe. Virtually every Dally newspaper in the United slates advertises items at regular Price sales Price and often with no Price listed at All. These advertisements appear for All the major retailers As Well u local and nationally known tip scale department stores. The practice r f regular Price advertising it very much a part of american culture and is quite common throughout the Industry. The vast majority of mag dime advertising has Arnol utely no Price listing what Soever for products. Advertising is defined is the action of attracting Public attention to a product or business. Cafes Europe advertising follows thai same practice common to All retailers that of informing the Public of goods and services Arail Albec in our exchanges the Pioneer compact disc player you mentioned now tills for the regular Price of $450 because cafes cancelled the Price increase in february. Something happened recently that really has me angry. The Day held the easier egg Hunt for children 12 and under in my Community. In was a Nice Jasir. Thank you Day the Hunt was set up so that there were coloured eggs and plastic eggs with raffle tickets inside for the kids to find. After All the eggs were found drawings were held and prizes awarded. This was the problem greedy parents parents who told i hair children to Only go for the plastic ones for prizes parents who made their children believe that it was what you won that mattered not fair play. What is easier about anyway while waiting for the drawings my husband and 1 saw Many children who did t even get a coloured egg least of All the treasured plastic egg. We gave them one of ours. But Taco we saw people with 10 or More raffle tickets who complained they did t get More. The size of the prize they d win was what mattered. Forget the child who walked away empty handed. 1 am appalled at the parents Lack of fair play and sensitivity. Whai kind of people will i heir children grow up to b7 in closing i want to thank my husband for sharing his and my sons wealth of eggs with those who got none those children s smiling faces said in All.
