European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 19, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse 3nday, november 19, 1990 the stars and stripes a writer says Sior machines prey on gis Page 11 Ann Landers Ive recently returned from a training rotation at the Grafe Wohr major training area Meta. While there i noticed in the Camp Aachen Burger bar used almost exclusively by troops in training rotation that gambling machines had been put in the adjacent game room. Like any other individual the Soldier has every right to Gamble. I must however question the prudence of placing these machines in the Burger bar. The profits from the gambling machines do not go Back into recreation facilities for these nomadic soldiers. They go to the local mar to support facilities like Bowling alleys and Craft shops that soldiers in rotation Are rarely Able to use. It seems to me that the machines were not put there with the a morale and welfare of the troops in mind but rather to prey on soldiers in a a a captive environment.

Our local cafes which operates the Burger bar provides operating space for the machines supervises the operation and controls the Deposit of All monies. These recreational devices Are an authorized method to help support All the . Army morale and recreation programs for service personnel and family members worldwide and not just locally. The greater share of the net profits is divided equally among Headquarters department of the army usar eur and 7th army training come morale welfare and recreation funds. These agencies in turn provide excellent morale welfare and recreational facilities and programs enjoyed by All of us. A the 7th army training come also supports the Hohenfels and Wil Flecken training areas and the combined arms training Center. Our local cafes Only receives a Small percentage of the profits to help cover the operating expenses. Unless higher Headquarters changes policy the Slot machines will remain in operation to provide an additional alternate source of entertainment for the training troops. In closing i would like to add that All recreational facilities in the Cantonment area of Grafe Wohr Are open to training troops. Commanders May allow their soldiers to use any of these facilities. Tip offered on dealing with desert dust c j 31 a Bare an idea with other troops deployed in saudi Arabia who have personal tape players radios. Keeping them clean especially in the Field with perspiration and blowing dust alone or together can be a problem. Your paper is widely read Here and this suggestion can reach a lot of people rapidly. Use a zip lock Freezer bag Sandwich size for protect Nam a Ailt the elements. To use place the player with at headphones attached into the bag and Seal. Make a pinhole puncture through the bag at the phone port. Then insert phone plug through the Hole and into the port. You re Good to go. Most adjustments can be made without opening the bag. The Freezer bag not a regular bag is Tough and can last a week or longer with reasonable use. Its a Low Cost to pay. A couple of bags can easily be sent from Home in a regular envelope. Try it. A it. Cmdr. E. Dave Zidrich operation desert shield dear readers remember the letter from the 17-year-old girl who wanted to go to College on a scholarship but her father said she belonged at Home helping her Mother there were nine children in the family. The last two babies were Bora 10 months apart and her Mother had just revealed that she was five months pregnant with her 10th. When the girl suggested that perhaps her parents were having too Many babies her Mother became angry and said a god gives people Only As Many babies As they can take care of done to Ever say such a terrible thing the girl hoped her school principal would intervene but she was disappointed. The principal a a nun a told her a god has Given you important work to do at Home. Many people have Good lives without going to i Hope that girl who signed herself a no City no state sees this because i want her to know that More than 20,000 people wrote urging her to defy her parents and a go for before i print the excerpts id like to make it Clear that this is not a Catholic problem. Such ignorance exists among All denominations. From Tucson your advice to a no City no state stank. You should have told that girl to go to the authorities and have her parents hauled in for child abuse. She is being treated like a slave. I Pray that she reads this in the fuer and of a us is my advice since you gave her very Jones Ville Mich i thought your answer to that 17-year-old was excellent. I applauded when you said her father should spend less time in Church Ana More time at Home helping his wife with the kids he fathered. And if he does no to want to use birth control i suggest that he to1 a viable alternative. It is called self control. Omaha please please Tell a no City no state that there is a Way out of her dilemma. I know because i found it. I too came from a big Catholic family with no Money that girl can get a student loan for two years of College. She would then have an associate degree and could earn Money to repay the loan while putting herself through an additional two years of school. She would then receive her . Degree which would enable her to get a far better paying Job. I hate to be corny Ann but where there a a will there a a Way a and with a Little bit of imagination and a lot of guts she can make it. Charleston . Please Tell that idiot woman who has nine kids that god does no to a Send them. A few Steps must be taken by humans. And if a couple does no to want that Many children there Are several things they can do about it. Kansas City you Are going to be swamped with responses to that door girl whose parents think its More important for or to stay Home and take care of a flock of younger siblings than it is to go to College. Ann i Hope you done to let this Issue degenerate into a Catholic Church Hatchet Job. I am praying that the nun who told her she belongs at Home a helping will Wake up and see herself As part of the problem and decide to be part of the solution. Albany that nun is sitting on her brains. I have never been so Censed. These parents have had nine children in 16 years and the Mother is pregnant again. Maybe if that father scrubbed a few floors and helped his wife with the laundry and cooking he be quite so Frisky. C creators Syndicate european edition circulation 190,000 col Gene e.
