European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 21, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday december 21, 1991 the stars and stripes a Page 19 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers. Although Christmas for most people is a Happy occasion it can be a very sad time for others. I suggest that card senders ask themselves if it is possible for those on the receiving end to have a merry Christmas and a Happy new year. We lost our daughter two years ago. Christmas for us is now a very sad time. Just a simple note saying a thinking of you Quot would be appreciated. Every time we receive a Christmas card wishing us a Jolly Holiday season 1 ask myself How people can be so insensitive. How can we have a Happy Holiday season when our daughter who was the Light of our lives is dead. Grieving Parent dear Friend the cards you consider hurtful Are expressions of Friendship from people who want you to know they Are thinking of you. Please Contact the compassionate friends and ask for their literature. This is a National organization made up of parents whose children have died. They Are Able to offer the kind of emotional support that is unavailable anywhere else. Send a self addressed stamped envelope to the compassionate friends . Box 3696, Oak Brook Iii. 60522-3696. A Dollar to help defray costs would be greatly appreciated dear Ann Landers you recently printed a letter from a hoodwinked in the Midwest a a woman who had received an official looking document offering to obtain a social Security today a crossword dear Abby dear Abby Many years ago i copied this poem out of your column in the Indiana a Gazette.

As chairman of the postal operations and services subcommittee i am extremely concerned about the increasing emergence of deceptive mail. Experiences like Quot hoodwinked a Quot arc no longer the exception they Are the Norm. As a result of such fraudulent mailings 1 sponsored the deceptive mailings prevention act of 1990, this legislation requires the use of a disclaimer for any solicitations by non governmental organizations which use official looking emblems titles seals and insignias that could be interpreted As implying Federal endorsement. A a this is not a government document must appear on the envelope directly below the pos age stamp. In addition a this product or service or organization has not been approved or endorsed by the Federal government must appear in typeface which is at least twice the size of Normal typeface. If you or your readers receive a mailing that does t conform to these standards please Contact your local pct master or the postal inspection service which will then handle All complaints. When a mailing violates the Law the Mailer faces civil penalties for false representation. Sincerely Frank Mccloskey House of representatives Washington do. Dear rep.
