European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 13, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday March 13. 1991 the stars and stripes a Page 19 Ann Landers dear readers 1 received a message from Timothy Streb with the operation desert storm Volunteer support committee in Rochester . Or. Streb asked me to print the following information. 1. Please done to Send pork items such As spam or pickled pigs feet to the troops. Such items Are not permitted in saudi Arabia. 1. Please do not Send food products unless they Are nonperishable and in scaled Metal containers. More specifically do not Send food sealed in paper plastic or Glass. Presently mail travels mainly by ship. Pue to the the postal backlog and the fact that our soldiers Are constantly on the move the food shipments could remain in the hold of the ship for three or four weeks and would spoil because of the heat and bugs.3. Toothbrushes toothpaste suntan lotion foot powder Bath soap shampoo razors shaving Cream Eye drops chewing gum Combs and Chopstick Are still Good items to Send to our troops. These a a luxuries Are available without charge through the unit Supply chief Only because they were donated by the american Public. If the donated Supply runs out they will still be available but will have to be purchased. A final word it always a Good idea before mailing a package to a member of the armed forces to Check with your local Post office and ask again a what Are the restrictions a a dear Ann Landers. Did you know that Many motels will not rent rooms to anyone under the age of 21? they have a major credit card today a crossword dear Abby dear Abby on a Well travelled Road you would be amazed at How much garbage people throw out of their car windows. I wonder what they think happens to All that stuff we pick up the trash from our Yard and the amount of plastic Glass Metal and paper we collect is unbelievable. Please ask your readers to keep some kind of study bag or Container in their vehicles for their trash and empty it in an appropriate receptacle when they reach their destination it takes so Little Effort to keep our Countryside clean.

He spotted a Motel along the interstate that looked god and he requested a room. After filling out the form and producing his credit card and Driver s License he was informed by the night clerk that because he was under 21he could not Check in. Since he was not familiar with the area and was extremely tired he stopped at the first rest found locked the car. Doors and slept in the car. A the possibility of his being robbed beaten or murdered is the reason i am writing to you. Parents of College age students should know that this is the policy of Many Motel chains.
