European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 21, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday september 21, 1991 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers that letter from the Montana Reader who complained that a Motel keeper would t rent a room to her son because he Wasny to of age burned me up. Here show it looks from my Side of the registration desk. I worked in a hotel in North Carolina for several months. Our age requirement for guests went from 18 to 21 to 27, after several a Young adults trashed their rooms. When i say a trashed a i done to mean wet towels on the carpets and a broken lamp or two. I mean they knocked holes in the Wall trying to remove the fixtures ripped out the telephones Tore up the carpeting and sneaked out in the dead of night without paying their Bill. We got stuck for a number of expensive Long distance Calls. Another group of Young people was Selling drugs out of our place. It did no to help business any when the police showed up to make arrests. We suspected something was Odd when carloads of friends came to a a visit at All hours of the night. We finally told them to leave after several guests phoned the desk to complain about the noise. A a Montana said it was unfair to allow a few bad apples to spoil the barrel. I agree. But when the majority of problems Are caused by people under 25, the hotel must take whatever Steps Are necessary to save its reputation not to mention the business itself. This Means we have to keep the troublemakers out. The Only Way to do it was to raise the age limit which we did. By the Way we noticed that the people who got upset about the age limit being raised were the very ones who caused the trouble to begin with. We know because we kept a list. K.a.m., West Hempstead n y. Dear West Hempstead thanks for writing to let us know How that column dear Abby dear Abby my problem is my wife. She will not go to the doctor for regular checkups. She is 43, a professional and we Are not poor. We have no children. She is apparently healthy but she refuses to go for checkups Pap smears mammograms Etc. Her last visit to a doctor was at least eight years ago. She also rarely goes to a dentist we have been married for 13 years. I love her very much and would like to grow old with her. What can i do out of ideas dear out of ideas Short of hog tying her there is nothing you can do. Every intelligent person realizes that routine periodic checkups physical and dental Are essential to maintaining Good health and Early detection in Case there is a problem has saved Many lives. Dear Abby i know that you probably done to think that you need another Hiccup cure but let me assure you that i have used played in your neck or the Woods. Here a a Reading from Northern Michigan dear Ann Landers that Motel clerk Isnit the Only one who has had problems with a Young  we could relate a few dozen horror stories about How Young people in our part of the country behave when they get into a Motel. A few months ago a Bunch of High schooners took it upon themselves to Burn the american Flag in front of the office. They were protesting something or other. They then decided to throw the Lawn furniture into the Pool. That same week some teen agers thought it would be fun to play hockey in the Halls in the Middle of the night. They also broke the Candy machine and helped themselves. Quot but Young adults Aren t the Only ones who cause problems. Last week a child who could t have been More than 4 years old was in the lobby looking for a Mommy and  can you believe parents would leave a Tot that age alone in a Motel room i am going to sign my name Ann and its of to use it.

Keep Reading dear Ann Landers As an innkeeper i can understand Why that Motel desk clerk refused a room to that College student. We too have had several bad experiences with Young people. Id like to suggest to parents whose Cotlige age sons or daughters need lodging on the Way to or from school that they phone us ahead and make reservations. Just give us some idea As to the arrival time. I cannot think of a person in this business who would not Welcome such a Call and Greet your children with open arms. -j.d., also in Michigan c creators Syndicate this trick now for nearly 10 years and i am usually very successful.
