European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 1, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 10 Ann Landers the stars and stripes letters dear Ann Landers regarding your column about hotels that throw out perfectly Good leftover food we agree it a shame and that s Why we started Kentucky Harvest 17months ago. It s now one of the largest All Volunteer organizations in the United states. Kentucky Harvest has collected More than 1.2 million pounds of food from area hotels restaurants caterers and bake Ries. We feed More than 2,700people a Day serving 25 Mission Homes and soup kitchens in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The major concern of restaurants and businesses who donate food is being sued if someone gets sick. Kentucky and Indiana both have Good Samaritan Laws that protect food donors against liability and because we Are classified As a non profit organization All food donated can be considered a tax deduction. So you see Ann donors Benefit and the hungry get fed. If your readers have any questions about this program the can phone 502-589-food. Thanks for the forum Ann. Gary Bowman executive committee Kentucky Harvest dear Gary congratulations on doing a terrific Job. And thanks too for giving me the Opportunity to Tell the world about you. Here s a Chicago letter on the same subject dear Ann Landers i m writing in response to a letter from a woman who was appalled at the Way hotels and restaurant waste food by simply throwing away trays of pastries cold cuts fresh fruit vegetables and cheeses often straight from service tables and storage. Please be aware that not All restaurants and hotel operate this Way. The perishable foods program in Chicago under the guidance of the greater chicag food depository does one terrific Job of feeding the hungry. Every week the depository delivers four 8x12 alumni num containers to Nick s fish markets. We stick them in the Freezer and then fill them up. This is not food that has been served to guests. This is food that never gets to the table. It s the last slice of fish that does come out to a perfect 8 ounce filet or the Steak that does t look As Well marbled As the rest. Every Friday the depository picks up the trays. Our restaurants Are Good for 60 to 70 pounds of food a week enough to feed 200 people. Many other Chicago restaurants and hotels redoing their part. The Levy organization backs up a truck to Sears Tower and loads 150 pounds a week staggering amount when you consider that one Pound of food can feed three people. Eli s Steak House Rich Melman of lettuce enter Tain you Arnie Morton of arnies Carson s ribs the Marshall Field restaurants and the dining facilities of the Continental Bank Are just a few of the businesses that participate. So Ann if you print this maybe even More restau rants and hoteliers will become involved in feeding the hungry not just at thanksgiving or at Christmas Butalla year around. Thanks for my turn. Nick Nicholas of Nick s Nick thanks for a great Day brightener. I Hope it will Serveas an incentive for food servers both in Chicago and around the country to get on this bandwagon. How much More sensible and humane this is than throwing out food because some people Don t wish to be bothered.

Feeder has cafes humming different tune not with the intention of adding to the problems of the Exchange service cafe but my Nate curiosity demands that i seek an answer to the following ques Tion Why does the Exchange service insist in Selling Hummingbird feeders in the sales outlets in Europe hummingbirds Are native to South Central and North America and Range As far North As Souther Alaska but do not exist in Europe. For those who will surely say that they have seen such Birds in Europe what they have probably seen is a variety of Beetle whose flying and feeding characteristics have a remarkable resemblance to hummingbirds and Are native to the countries around the Mediterranean but Are not nevertheless hummingbirds. Perhaps if these feeders were discontinued we would have More room for other merchandise More important to our needs unless patrons insist on feeding beetles. Allen e. Russel Neu Isenburg West Germany editor s note it. Col. Charlie White Public affairs officer he. Cafes Europe replies he Mem would you believe we Are trying to help those getting ready to move Back to the states actually you Are Correct. It was discovered in May that the feeder was on some stores checklists of things to order. At that time the item was this Means any store in Europe trying to order this feeder will have the order rejected by the computer. The stores in Frankfurt As Well As others Are getting rid of theirs. Indeed this will make it possible for the space to be used More productively. I Hope we satisfied your curiosity As we go hum hum humming along. Readers take jabs at Cathy comic strip i have found the stars and stripes to be of immense value in keeping track of developments on the Home front and plan to continue Reading it on a daily basis. One of the Many delightful benefits of Reading Sta Sand stripes is being Able to get my daily chuckle from the comic Section. One of my continuing favourites has been however the recent continued use of the Cathy cartoon to present a particular political Point of View has been most disheartening. Realizing that stars and stripes does not produce Cathy i will continue to buy your paper. You might pass on to the producers of Cathy however that they have lost a dedicated fan As i will never again read that particular strip. A. R. Glover Brun sum the Netherlands All political Campaign ads Are paid for by the part concerned. Are you being paid by Cathy to run its cartoons or is this free advertisement since this comic strip is definitely one sided Are we the read ers to assume that you support one party As oppose to the other Janet Williams Sermersheim West Germany what is cartoonist Cathy Guisewite s favorit whine in her strip one of her characters continually bemoans her wretched Fate of being stuck with a Young child. Why won t those ugly republicans pay professionals to take care of the baby i chose to have while i go become self actualized at work is it just me or does anybody else get tired of every body s victim status out there Why must i pick up a comic Page Only to be further indoctrinated about my callous disregard for the political agendas of the likes of Garry Trudeau and Guisewite both cartoonists can be mildly Clever if not All that funny but their Politi Cal shrillness gives the funnies a bad name. Petty officer Michael s. Neutzling hell Nikon a Greece Why is the stars and stripes printing blatant Politi Cal messages in its comics Section . Cathy recently and doonesbury throughout the year printing comics with such obvious political overtones just prior to a major election appears to violate the political fairness doctrine. It. Col. Brian Stephens a Aschheim air station West Germany it s not often that i agree with alabamians but the newspaper owner who pulled the comic strip Cathy for criticizing George Bush is a Man after my own heart. The comics Section is no place for political com ment especially when it May influence a National elec Tion. Too Many of America s voters rarely read More than the funnies Page.

A Lotof the mail i be gotten has been negative. When i was writing the strips i Felt the position they took were within Andrea a More outspoken personality and rationalized that they would be a goo vehicle to get people thinking and talking about issues that directly affected women in the election no Matte whom they were voting for. In retrospect i should have toned the strips Down Given equal time to both sides or maybe better yet skipped the subject altogether. I appreciate that you took the time to Send you thoughts and am sorry that your notes had to be motivated by such bad feelings. I la try to not disappoint Youin the future.
