European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 19, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers letter0 dear Ann Landers am 1 crazy to be concerned my Lance s Parent arc financially Well off but they go to such extremes to save Money Ihal i wonder if there might be some insanity in the family. His Mother puts milk Cartons under the hot water faucets to save the water that comes out be fore it warms up. The rinse water from the washing machine used to water the Garden. She keeps a pail in the Bath room to collect he water used for washing hands. This is poured into a bucket and. When enough is accumulated in is used to Wash the floor. These looks sit around in heavy Coats Alt Winter Long because they Don t want to turn the heat on. Their clothes Art from garage sales and they sure do look in. My Fiance s father has a 1982 Chevrolet but the family travels by bus because gasoline is Loo  i Don t care if my Fiance s family wants to live Tike misers but our wedding is scheduled in two months and i m concerned that he might develop some of these ridiculous Penny pinching gimmicks. Please Tell me what you think about this. Apprehensive in Michigan dear Mich Yon Don t say How Long you have been going with your Fiance but i Trust in has been Tont enough far you to know if he has the same approach to spending Money is his parents have you Ever discussed their peculiarities with him does he i Hank they Are weird or dots he make excuses Tor them you we in a better position than 1 to know the answer to the questions. Good Luck. Dear Ann Landers i Hope you will print one More letter on the Wisconsin Law that made in possible for the Blind to Hunt when accompanied by a sighted person. Your reply gave the impression that the Law did not pass when in tact not Only did the Senate approve the measure 27-6, but also inc Assembly adopted in earlier on a vote of 99-0. In was then signed by the governor. As one of inc six who voted against this Bill i still believe it is a dumb idea. More than 600,000 people Hunt Deer during our nine Day season and All Are required by Law to Wear Orange clothing. Maybe the supporters of this Bill will insist thai the Hunters Wear Bells or belter Cyl maybe the Deer should. . How about allowing the Blind to drive when accompanied by a sighted Driver Alan j. Lasee state senator 1st District . Permitting Blind people to Hunt does not make a whole lot of sense to me. 1 worry about Blind folks out in the Woods with loaded rides. There Are enough Sifi Ted Hunters who kill each other accidentally without adding to inc problem. Thank you for writing. Dear Ann Landers when women buy shoes they buy one for the left foot and one for the right but when they buy earrings they pay no attention to inc fact thai most of the car rings Are made Tor the same car. Check the design and you la Sec what i mean observant in Charlotte. Dear Butr most earrings can be worn on either ear. However when the design is Mich that one earring is for the left and the other is for the right make sure you Are getting a Matching pair. Again let the buyer beware.

Forcari writer asks about disposal of cafes items while working behind the vog Cloch Exchange a few weeks ago i noticed two Young boys about to throw a Brand new fender precision Bass into a dumpster. I approached them and asked if i could have it since they were going to throw in away. They said that they would have to ask their Boss. At this time it became apparent thai these two were cafes employees. Their Boss said that i could t have in and that it must be destroyed i asked him Why and he said that the neck was bowed an easily corrected problem. Then the two Young men proceeded to destroy the guitar with a Sledge Hammer. While i was there they also destroyed a to an elec tric fan and a set of stereo speakers. Why could t these items be returned to the manufacturer for Exchange items offered Al a reduced Price donated to the family support Center or a music Center in the Case of inc guitar taken to a repairman to see if they were Worth salvaging. Being a Guilar player the guitar in particular really burned me up. A bowed neck can be repaired or re placed at a fraction of the Cost of the instrument which is $300-1350. In this Case docs cafes write this o to is this Cost passed onto the Consumers or what sgt. Michael Layden Einsley werhof West Germany editor s note co. Donald e. Gilbert Rice commander ii cafes Europe replies our guidance in marking Down merchandise follows a step by Iipp procedure. Cafes policy h if Merchan Dise is damaged it should be reviewed to determine if repair is economically feasible. If it is not economical the merchandise should be reduced to i fair Price considering the condition of the item. Once the Price has been reduced and the merchandise is still not said then it is written off As a loss to the store. The determination of whether repair i economical and the amount of Price reduction is nude by store management. The manager has the option of donating the merchandise to the chaplain once the decision is made to write off the merchandise. However experience a Kapaun As has shown electronic items lire generally unsuitable for donation to orphanages nursing Homes and or similar institutions through the chaplain s office. Whenever possible defective merchandise k returned to the manufacturer for refund. In some cues such la the ones you mentioned the cause of the damage precludes sending the item Back to the manufacturer. In any event the markdowns and write offs arc Mil passed on to die customer. They arc regarded As part of the Many expenses of doing business and Are absorbed us cafes operating costs. A write off of merchandise and subsequent destruction is usually the last resort far disposing of Merchan Dise. Every attempt is made to reduce the Price for Sale or donate the unsaleable merchandise to a Rich uni my organization for disposal. Reader urges quiet Energy conservation lit this age of Energy conservation Why do we Over look conserving our own Energy living overseas most people find themselves in multiple family dwellings. How Nice in would be if everyone conserved his or her personal Energy when going in and out of Fth buildings ii lakes less Energy to walk softly up and Down a stairwell than in docs to stomp. Why waste the Energy used in noisily clamping on the stairs when it could be belter used to vol Smarch and enjoy the German people and Countryside Volks marching disturbs no one while heavy feet in stairwells bother everyone. Consider the drastic changes in the noise level if everyone conserved inc bodily Energy used to slam a door. It takes More Muscles to forcefully push a door shut than to turn the handle so the door shuts with out noise. Pen pals would t it make More sense to use those Arm Muscles to help someone carry in groceries or pick up the litter along inc sidewalks perhaps Energy conservation in t an important Issue in your life.
