European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 1, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i am the Mother of a 16-year-old boy and a recently divorced 23-year-old daughter. Ever since a a Wanda moved Back Home a month ago her Lack of modesty has been bothering me. She often lounges around the House in her Bra and panties or a skimpy Teddy or Shell show up in a to shirt that Isnit quite Long enough. It does no to matter whether her brother is around or not. The other Day i came Home from shopping and heard the two of them splashing in the Pool. A few minutes later i stepped outside to say hello and received the Shock of my life. There was Wanda As naked As the Day she was born lying on her Back in a Beach chair. Her brother sat a few feet away. They were talking and laughing totally unconcerned about her nudity. I was stunned but decided not to make a scene. Later that evening when we were alone i told Wanda that i was shocked that she would loll around naked in the presence of her brother. She said its better that he learn what a woman a body looks like at Home than satisfy his curiosity by buying pornographic magazines or getting some Young girl to show him. Her reasoning sounded logical but i am still troubled by the whole thing. Ann is it harmful to my son to see his sister scantily Clad and nude or is it beneficial to him As Wanda seems to think what if anything should i do or say thanks for your thoughts. D.r., Hartford Conn. Dear Hart a 16-year-old boy these Days knows darned Well what a woman a body looks like. Wanda is out of line and you should have no hesitation about setting her straight. I suspect that your daughter May be feeling a bit unsure of herself and is testing her wow Power on her kid brother. You should make it abundantly Clear that you will not tolerate any More nudity Semi nudity or provocative shenanigans around the House and i urge you to be plenty Tough about it dear Ann Landers please warn your readers about deceit in advertising. I used to work in direct mail and am familiar with the Tricky language used to get a consumer to buy a product. Most often a free gift of questionable value or a Sweepstake offering with Low Odds is used to trap the unsuspecting. Just this week i received two offers worded in a Way to deceive people into believing that they already had ordered something. The enclosed card is an example. It says a to is being held for me but it cannot be snipped until i remit my payment of $76.77. It gives me 15 Days to respond. No description or picture of the item is provided but it says a fall items Are new and without  the last line says a this notice should not be interpreted As indicating recipient has placed prior  to Tell you the truth i read it three times and i thought it said a this notice should be interpreted a i did no to see the word  obviously the sentence was skilfully worded so that a Quick Reading could easily Lead one to believe it said exactly the opposite. A i guess All is fair in love War and sales so please warn your readers against this kind of trickery. . . You did and i appreciate it. C creators Syndicate thursday november 1, 1990 the stars and stripes Page 11 letters a desert shield support troops thanked i am writing this letter for several reasons. I would like to Start out by saying we appreciate getting the stars and stripes out Here in the desert. Even though we get it four to five Days late we enjoy Reading the world news and catching up on the sports. As soon As we re done we pass it on to other Crews. We want to take time to remember those who have Given their lives already for this operation. It is very sad that this happened and we extend our sympathy to those families. We Pray that their sons and daughters Are with the Good lord. We want also to take time and thank our mechanics who keep this operation going. The mechanics in our unit pull Day and night guard and Are always up fixing vehicles that go Down. They take a lot of Pride in their jobs and a lot of times Are overlooked when it comes to getting a Pat on the Back. We just want to thank All these mechanics to Tell them that they Are appreciated and that they Are doing an outstanding Job. We want also to thank the Cooks. Again these Are soldiers who pull their share of guard with us. They Are always up preparing food to rations for the meals. They get off shift and find themselves on details. The Best thing is when you go through the line to eat and they re always joking and smiling. It makes you feel Good inside to know that they Are trying to make you feel Good also. For All the Guys who work getting us our mail and packages we thank you with All kinds of thanks. We know its hard to do All this work but you Are making Guys who Are feeling Down brighten up when they get letters from Home. And last we want to take time out and give our thanks to All the people who Are supporting this operation one Way or another. For us who Are in combat arms it makes a big difference. Being in the desert away from All those Nice Little things is rough but when you know people care about you you push yourself a Little harder to keep going. We thank you All. I am sorry for the mistakes or neatness. I am writing this at night using a filtered flashlight. A sgt. 1st class Ronald g. Anderson and the Crew of d-66 operation desert shield a writer reminded of teamwork values in response to a recent letter the air Force a a soldiers in an a a army uniform was in fact an airman in a desert camouflage Battle dress uniform. One would be hard pressed to believe that the Teddy Bear he was holding was packed As part of his mobility bag upon notification of pending deployment. It was More Likely a gift from Home. The writer goes on to invite support personnel to the front lines. Chances Are the airman holding the Teddy Bear is a fighter aircraft maintainer. You had better Hope he stays where he is ensuring his a-10 a tank killer is ready to perform its Mission an essential role in keeping you alive.

Chances Are your family Ana friends Are worried and extremely concerned As Are most americans. If photos of smiling service members assigned to desert shield bother you then done to read the newspapers. The ability to smile in the face of uncertainty is an admirable trait. In the final analysis any successful military operation depends on teamwork a from the combat Soldier to the fighter Pilot to the Chow Hall Cook. Each depends on the other to perform his or her assigned duties. A sgt. Brent r. Knutson Ramstein a Germany drug myth sniffed out a one fact is better than one Hundred  there is a great myth among some cos concerning the use of incense. They believe that incense is drug paraphernalia because they connect the word a a incense with the use of drugs. This is a myth Many religious and ethnic groups have used incense for Ages without Ever using drugs if incense is drug paraphernalia then scented candles air fresheners and Potpourri would equally be drug paraphernalia All of which Are sold throughout military exchanges.
