European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday september 21, 1989 the stars and stripes Page 11 Arm Landers letters dear Ann Landers i be read a great Many letters in your column about the dangers of drinking and driving. I am a Strong supporter of Madd mothers against drunk driving and Sadd students against Drunken driving but i wonder How Many of your readers realize How Hazar Dous it is to cat while driving. Frankly i did t give it a thought until yesterday when i stopped at a f fast food place and picked up some j tried Chicken Tor lunch. As usual the smell got to me Andi could t wait until i got to the office. I took a Chicken leg out of the bag and started to chomp away All this while driving. A piece of Chicken got caught in my Throat and there i was one hand on the wheel the 9thcr trying to dislodge the chunk. I was choking and veering All Over the Road. Thank god i got the chunk out and did t have an Accident. Afterwards i pulled Over to the shoulder an Shook Tor five minutes. How fortunate i was that the other Drivers were Alert enough to keep from running into me. I was luckier than i deserved. Sanjuan dear san thanks for an excellent letter. I can t Tell you How Many times i have seen Drivers eating hot docs French Fries sandwiches and ice Cream Cones or drinking soda pop or Coffee. Then of course there Are idiots who put on make up apply Nail polish or read newspapers and paperbacks while driving. Let this letter be a warning to All who Are guilty of having done any of the above. You Hare been spared sofar. Dont push your Luck. Dear Ann Landers one of the Best things about your column is that you let people have their say even when they Don t agree with you. I d like to comment on which generation has it rougher. For every Young couple who will have it As Good As their parents i can show you dozens of older couples who will never have it As Good As their children. Today s elderly were almost All poor children. They grew up before food Stamps school lunches medicaid and government student to any High school parking lot in the Atlanta suburbs and you will Sec Samaros and by is. These kids must have a new car when they turn 16. The also have designer jeans and designer sneakers and More spending Money than any generation before them Ever dreamed proms in luxury hotels Are unbelievable. These 17 and 18-year-Olds spend hundreds of dollars on evening gowns and rented luxe. They would never Settle for decorated gymnasium like their parents. Poverty is not a matter of age. It exists among the old and the Young. But one had better not end up poor today because it s hell. Georgia dear Georgia i cannot argue with a nerd you have written. Thanks fur making some excellent Points for the other Side. Dear Ann Landers what is so magical about a size 10? i bought my sister a Beautiful sweater for her birthday. She tried it on and loved it. When she noticed that it was a size 12, she m a size 10. Do you mind if i take this Back and Exchange it i said of course but i was upset. What s with these people anyway mils. Dear mils size Means very Little but some women think that if they can squeeze into a size 10, they will look like a size 10. Actually if a garment is too tight it will make the wearer look heavier. C los Angeles times Syndicate and creators Syndicate cafes pricing of bottled water discussed congratulations to cafes Why a recent cafes action to boost profits has set the Exchange system Back to the old Days when a store sold you everything at inflated prices and even watered the whiskey. Supposedly the birth of cafes was to end this. But now we have a new phenomenon that i ran into at the Wiir Burg shop Pelt when i purchased some 1.5-liter bottles of water bottled by evian. Before the increase the 1.5-liter bottle Cost 44 cents. After a 60 percent Price Rise the same bottle now costs 70 cents. I questioned the Shoppe Etc manager about this and was advised he had received a letter from cafes which said in effect that if customers buy Beer soft drinks or bottled water by the Case the 44-Ccnt, or whatever Price applies but if they elect to buy single bottles then the inflated Price takes cafes is supposed to sell goods and services to the military and other authorized buyers at the cheapest Price possible consistent with showing a profit for re turn to the morale welfare and recreation activity. But i m sorry to say that cafes greed has set us Bac almost 100 years with its method of mass marketing to the buying population. At the same time it did the commissary a favor because it Only costs around 33 cents for a bottle of water purchased there. Elton g. Smith Wurzburg West Germany editor s note master sgt. Dayton p. Strick land customer relations Liq cafes Europe replies the aim of cafes is in save our customers Money and generate funds for the army and air Force morale welfare and recreation programs our customers enjoy. The higher Price of single water soda and Beer is necessary to compensate for handling Cooling equip ment and restocking expenses. Each single item be it Evlan or Hessen water has to be handled several times before it is sold to you. Although the single Price is slightly higher than the Case Price a Survey conducted in the . Shows the average sell Price of these items is More than 30 percent above cafes prices.
