European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 24, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday september 24, 1990 the stars and stripes a Page 11 letters a Exchange rules in Turkey explained i am a Soldier in the . Army stationed in Europe. I recently went on vacation in Turkey. During my three week stay there i attempted to enter the Izmir air station Exchange to Cash a Check convert it into turkish lira and buy diapers. I was informed by the id checker that i could not enter unless i was on temporary duty or stationed there yet i was Able to enter the food mall shop Pette and commissary. I was also told that this was the base commanders policy. Why is this when soldiers from Turkey come on leave in Germany they can go into the Exchange just by showing their id cards. Of course they Are not Able to Purchase rationed items without a ration card just As i was not Able to buy rationed items in Turkey. Yet while i was in Turkey i was told that i needed to present a ration card and id card to the id checker at the door. I was Able to enter All cafes facilities when i visited in Ciurlik a just by showing my id card. Why is it that cafes has different standards for different countries they should be Standard for All countries. Since in Mon Active duty i should have Access into any cafes facility in the world even if its Only to Ever since the desert shield operation began i have been so proud to be an american and to see the pull together attitude and overwhelming caring human behaviour of my fellow americans unselfishly doing their part for what they believe in. However this feeling of Pride is greatly diminished by the behaviour i observe each Day As i travel from work to Home at Ramstein. A terrible and tragic event happened when a c-5 with desert shield personnel crashed aug. 29 just outside of Ramstein a. But what is just As tragic is witnessing the gawking camcorder carrying picture taking curious who want to a capture the moment on film. I feel so ashamed knowing i work and live in a Community that feels this need to feed their morbid curiosities by a packing up the kids and heading on Down to the wreckage site for a  what possible purpose can taking film footage and showing your children the car thank you for your recent excellent vegetarian food Section and for using my letter on lentils.

Is this policy in effect in other countries beside Turkey sgt. Richard t. Lane Pir Masens West Germany editors note master sgt. Dayton p. Strickland customer relations he cafes Europe replies patronage identification requirements Are command and Host country determinations. In Turkey those privileges Are not extended to people on leave status. All the locations you visited except the food mall should have asked for your id card and ration card. If you have a genuine need to make a Purchase such As you did for diapers the local command can Grant you that request we will re emphasize proper patronage control to our employees and have them refer customers with a genuine need to Purchase essential items to the local command authority. Again the policy is determined by Host country and local command authorities and cafes has no say in these decisions. We want your patronage but sometimes Are required to turn you away.

A Alessa Foster Hahn a West Ger Manyann Landers dear Ann Landers in a sure that the letter from a watch wrecker in Ohio a who  Wear a Wristwatch because they All stopped will generate a Load of letters from readers who have the same problem. Here a Why women with their Long fingernails often pull the winding Stem out of its proper position. Consequently the watch is never completely wound. When it runs Down they think its gone dead. . Cleveland dear . Thanks for your theory. You must be an old timer no Pun intended. Not Many people wind watches these Days. Read on from san Francisco three members of the family a my father my brother and i a All have trouble wearing watches. They just wont run. Several years ago my Mother thought he could beat the problem by buying a very expensive Model $3,000. Within two weeks the watch stopped. He took it Back to the store and they took it apart. The insides had burned up. They replaced the watch but the new one lasted Only a few hours. As for me a watch on my wrist will run backward slower faster a anything but on time. Someone suggested a Quartz Model but it stopped in an hour. The solution for me was a digital readout Model. From Brooklyn Tell a watch wrecker in Ohio that he a not alone. I have the same problem. Finally i discovered the cause my pulse is too Strong and it Breaks the mechanism. Now i Wear my watch on a Gold Chain and it keeps perfect time. From los Angeles i love the Way a watch looks on my wrist but in be never had one that kept time for More than two Days. Something about my system houses up the mechanism. I gave up fighting it. I now Wear a Beautiful watch on my wrist for show and the discount store Chapie that i keep in my purse keeps perfect time. From Dallas no one in my wife a family was Able to Wear a Wristwatch. Its something in the blood i think. Her Niece broke the a a curse two years ago when her chemistry teacher suggested that she rub garlic on the Back of her watch a fresh Clove every week. It solved the problem. From Houston i had a Devil of a time with a watch i received for my 16th birthday. It just  run. I took it to the jewelry shop three times and nobody could figure out what the problem was. Then i had my Fortune told. I mentioned this and the Fortune Teller said a Dunk the watch in a cup of water every three Days for two  i did and the darn thing rusted up like crazy. I had to throw it away. I have no solution to offer but i know what not to do. From Elpaso my husband was a watchmaker for 42 years. He says there is no such thing As body magnetism stopping a watch. A watch that is repaired properly will run. Dear readers from an article in the southwestern watchmaker Here is an explanation that is the last word on this subject Courtesy of Ron Brodkey in Omaha when watches done to run it is not because of magnetism in the wearers body. Years ago the great scientist Michael Faraday proved that theory to be false. Lie stated quite clearly however that a watch can become magnetized from other sources. Certain High voltage areas of the to receiver can magnetize a watch.
