European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 8, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i am so angry at what is going on that i must Tell you about it with the Hope that you will Alert others. While 1 was waiting for a prescription to be filled i struck up a conversation with a woman who also was waiting. She told me about her elderly parents who were getting prescriptions at this same drugstore and they kept running out of medication. They had started to count their pills when they came Home from the pharmacy and sure enough they were getting shorted a three or four pills at a time. Today i spoke with a Friend who told me that she had been shorted 10 pills in an order for 100 from this same pharmacy. I decided i had better count mine. Guess what i was supposed to get 30 pills and there were Only 28. This is a Chain operation with three or four pharmacists working behind the counter. They do a fantastic business because their prices Are the lowest in town. Most people done to count their pills. They take it for granted that they arc getting what they paid for. So this letter is to warn your readers about what 1 consider a pretty cheap rip off. An average person in Ohio dear Abby dear Abby in a recent column George Demian asked you to Settle a debate a the thrust of which was when a married male Dies should his widow be addressed As a mrs. Her first name does or a mrs. John does you replied a a John a widow should be properly addressed As a mrs. John Doe until she either i Abby it May be a a proper Dies or   in the sense of drawing room manners but whether a woman is addressed by her dead or alive husbands name should be her Choice. Actually mrs. John Doe is not her name it is her title by virtue of marriage. Why Isnit it just As proper to address a woman As you do a Man a using her name a persons Choice of mrs., ms., miss or none of the above for self or other women depends upon where one stands politically. Come on Abby your advice to George needs a shot of feminist enlightenment. Why must a woman be addressed by her husbands name and not her own in order to be a a proper even after her husband Dies say you did no to mean it Abby. Kay Shipton pleasant Hill Calif. Dear Kay i did mean it. But it s a woman s prerogative to change her mind and i am opting for that prerogative. Forget Amy Emily and Letitia a from now on and henceforth a widow need not use her husband s name to be a Correct a she May be mrs. Mary Jones or Mary Jones if she so chooses. And when i update my Booklet How to write utters Tor All occasions i will make that change.

Who a that gov on the far right put Buchanan j v-9 wednesday april 8, 1992 dear average person i Hope you complained not Only to the pharmacist but also to the manager of the store. Dear Ann Landers i am sure this Story is one that you have never heard before. At least in be never read anything like it in your column. Twenty years ago i graduated from College Summa cum laude and made Phi Beta Kappa. I worked very hard for that key which is a Symbol of academic excellence. Last year my father in Law who lives in Florida asked if he could borrow my Phi Beta Kappa key for a couple of weeks. He said he wanted to Snow it to his neighbors. In two weeks the key was returned and he thanked me. Several months later my sister in Law Quot Susan a came Over to our House wearing a Phi Beta Kappa key. My eyes nearly popped out. That woman could no More have earned that key than she could Fly to the Moon. I am certain my father in Law took my key to a jeweler in Florida and had a copy made for his daughter. S.f., Wantagh . Dear . Susan is a four flusher and your father in Law is no better. C creators Syndicate dear Abby. I would like to know your opinion concerning my current relationship with a gentleman from Portugal. I met him last summer in the states and we became instant friends. He asked me to go Back to Portugal with him when he left in August and i willingly accepted his invitation. I spent the Best three weeks of my life with him in his country. Naturally our Friendship turned into a deeper relationship and he came to the states to visit me again for five weeks. We Are now Back to being 3,000 Miles apart a writing to each other every week. The phone Bills Are incredible but he splits mine with me to Nelp me out. My problem is that now he wants me to come to Portugal Over Spring break and again this summer. Money is the Only ining causing me to hesitate. He has offered to pay for my trips but i can to accept that kind of Money from him. He has told me that he will accept any reason but Money for my refusing to come. He figures there a no difference in his paying to come Here or paying for me to go there. Either Way we will be together. Should i Force myself to accept his offer to pay my Way or should i insist that he come Here in love and in doubt dear in love obviously you Are a student but you Don t say How old you Are or How old he is. You Are Wise to ref Tise to accept a costly Gilt from your portuguese Friend at this stage of your relationship. Your instincts and judgment appear to be sound. Don t deviate.
