European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 06, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday february 1993 the stars and stripes Page 21 Mailbox numbers could be Lifesaver today s crossword i Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i Ani an overnight package delivery Man. I often have problems delivering packages because people Don t have their Homes and mailboxes marked. Instead of names and numbers which Are essential for delivery people they have fancy designs or decals of fruit or Ani Mals or there Are vines growing All Over the Box which May look charming but Are a nuisance to us. When there is no name or number we have to take the package Back to the terminal make a phone Call get directions and try again. There s a More important reason people should have their names and addresses clearly visible on Homes and mailboxes. Listen to this awhile Back i noticed that on a one mile stretch of Road every House had a name and number on it. When i commented about this rarity to a Homeowner she in formed me that two years before an elderly couple had lived on that Street. When the Man had a heart attack his wife called 911. Paramedics responded immediately but could t locate the House. Finally they found it when his wife went outside panic stricken to Flag them Down. Her husband died on the Way to the Hospital. No one will Ever know if those precious wasted minutes would have saved the Man s life. When word of that tragic incident got around the Community everyone went out and put numbers on their houses and mailboxes. Please Tell your readers to go out and get Large easy to read numbers for their Homes and mailboxes now before tragedy strikes. . In Cary . . You told them and i Hope they listen.
