Surplus Foods Go To 



Poor Under IVew Plan 



Rochester, N. Y. and Dayton, Ohio, 

 are the first two cities to be chosen 

 for the new stamp plan to distribute 

 surplus food to poor people on relief. 

 The reliefers pay for a book of orange 

 stamps in 25c denominations, or have 

 the money deducted from WPA checks. 

 Then for every $5 of orange stamps, 

 the relief families get $2.50 worth of 

 blue stamps free. The orange stamps 

 are good for any food or necessary 

 article at the grocery store, but the 

 blue stamps are exchangeable at the 

 grocery only for foods designated as 

 "surplus." 



On May 4 Secretary Wallace des- 

 ignated as "surplus foods" for distribu- 

 tion to relief clients, butter, eggs, beans, 

 prunes, oranges, grape fruit, wheat and 

 whole wheat flour, corn meal. The 

 grocer adds his handling charge to the 

 price of the "surplus" food products. 

 Four more cities will be chosen to ex- 

 periment with the new plan. 



"The Highland National Bank merely 

 changed its name from the State and Trust 

 Bank to the Highland National Bank. This 

 bank was never shut down," reports T. W. 

 May, farm adviser in Madison County. "In 

 fact, all three banks in Highland, popula- 

 tion 3,000, opened promptly in 1933 after 

 all banks had been closed by the Federal 

 government." This corrects an erroneous 

 reference to the bank in the April RECORD.
