European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 10, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i am enclosing an article from today s paper thai made me see red. How could an elected offi Cial who is supposed to care about his constituency come up with such a degrading suggestion 1 Hope that you will print this United press International Story from new York City and com ment on it. Here it is should a welfare Mother who won accolades for graduating from College with straight a s Velum her welfare Money to the City in inc form of Community service a City official suggested it yes verday. City Council member Michael Dymarco made this suggestion during his finance committee s hearing on the Truman resources administration budget. Do we have any Way at All to recoup some of this Money he asked human resources commissioner William Grinker. Elisc Sanchez 35, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa on wednesday managed alone with her four children on welfare while pursuing her College degree at the City s Lehman College. Offered several scholarships upon graduation san Chez accepted a Fellowship to Iowa state University saying her children deserve inc Freedom of he Rural outdoor. My poor kids have been prisoners. I Don t let them play outside in this drug infested neighbourhood san Chez said adding that the apartment ceiling had caved in and that rats raced through the dwelling. With welfare assistance she and her children sur Vived in the dilapidated Bronx apartment through her College years after her husband abandoned the family. I m not faulting the woman. I Admire her said a councilman who described his own bran District As economically fortunate. But As taxpayers do we get anything out of this he asked suggest tag that those who succeed in getting off welfare be required to per form Community services in return. How about it Ann Bronx Reader dear Bronx that councilman la a leading contender for my Lum mox of the ver award someone should Tell him let mandatory Community service is for lawbreakers who Are not deemed criminal types by the judge. To place a welfare Mother in he category of a lawbreaker it not Only ignorant but also mean spirited. It made me sick to think that mrs. Sanchez and her four children had to live in place with ruts running around. That councilman could taller spend Bis Lime getting on the backs of the health officials and building inspectors in ids District it leave the Phi Bela kappas alone. Dear Ann Landers Wendel and i have been married for 3 i years. We went together for six years and got along very Well. The trouble began when we got married. Little things about him annoyed me for example his sloppiness the Way he clips things out of the paper before i be had a Chance to read it and his hour Long phone conversations with his Mother. He says i am Lousy in bed a perfectionist and a nag. We be decided to gel a divorce. The question since lawyers Are so expensive these Days would in be of to use one of those do it yourself divorce kits that i be seen in the bookstores Casper Wyo. De Wyo couples married fewer than fire years with no Chol Dren and joint assets less than $50,000 might do Well la r the kit and avoid lawyers. Page 11 letters cafes ends shortage of first Aid gloves cafes has been airing spots that a change in Ger Man Taw requires that each vehicle first Aid kit must now contain two pairs of surgical gloves and that the gloves Are available in Auto parts stores. I be been trying to find the gloves in Heidelberg and Mannheim but they re consistently out of Stock. I understand that the gloves Are a Force fed Mer Chandise item the stores have no idea when they la be Back in Stock. This indicates to me that the planners at cafes have struck again it should have been an easy matter for cafes to learn from the vehicle registry How Many foes were registered in each Community and Force feed twice that Many pairs of gloves to each Community. This Type of planning is typical i bet the response will claim unexpected demand Peter k. Hullon Heidelberg West Germany As a health care professional i applaud the Ger Man Law requiring motorists to Stop and assist Vic Sims of a motor vehicle Accident. Furthermore the new Law effective oct. 1requiring Alt motorists to carry two pairs of protective gloves in their vehicle first Aid Box offers excellent Protection against the aids virus and other diseases however 1 cannot und stand Why these gloves available through cafes Auto Supply stores arc so expensive si.45 per pair. I have examined these gloves. They arc on Tzc fits All non sterile examination gloves perfectly adequate for their purpose but Why so expensive a Large Box of these gloves As used in medical facilities can t Cost More than $20 per 100 gloves or less than so cents per pair. So Why inc High Price Cost of packaging it s outrageous. Has the Cost of first Aid kits increased by s2.90 inc Cost of iwo pairs of gloves since gloves became a mandatory pan Oft Csc kits i doubt it. I suggest that Community service organizations Purchase these gloves in Butk and distribute them free of charge or belter yet allow these organizations to make a Small profit on each pair of gloves sold. A profit could be made without the Cost coming anywhere near $1.45 per pair i m sure. Have vol uni cers distribute gloves at exchanges commissaries or health care facilities fora few weeks prior to octo Ber Why put High profits in the hands of distributors who provide unnecessary fancy packaging let s provide economical Protection to All Usa eur Drivers and if a profit is to be made let it be made by our own Community service organizations Palti d. Bedford Ramstein a West Germany editor s note it. Col. Charlie White pub Lic affairs officer. He cafes Europe replies the first Aid gloves which will be required by Law on oct. 1, Are now available for our stores. Cafes purchases the Glove which must meet German requirement from local suppliers. When inc requirements of this Law became known availability of the gloves was limited and our suppliers were unable to meet the increased demand. Fortunately since our original Purchase Market conditions have changed and More sources Are Mil Able. We have banged suppliers and Are now Selling the gloves in packages of four two pair for $1. Both Heidelberg and Mannheim have received ship menu and should Hare a sufficient Supply to handle customer demand it this time. Additional supplies can be ordered if Stock runs Low. Since vehicle registration information does no help pinpoint the needs or potential volume of individual Auto part stores we depend on local management to determine what i Liler customers will need. Far this reason we did not attempt to Force Issue these items. If there is Ever in item you should have a question about please feel free to Contact Ron Pirto who be came Exchange manager on sept. 5, at 06121-13062 for assistance1. In Mannheim Contact Grace Sanders Mannheim Exchange manager at 0621 731078.
