New Method Of Giving Food To Relief Families
The Agriculture Department will seek private grocers to participate in an experimental system that issues two colored stamps, orange and blue, letting relief clients buy food at stores with cash and stamps. Orange stamps cover any food while blue stamps buy surplus commodities like citrus, poultry, dairy, vegetables, lard, and possibly pork and fish products. The plan aims to shift purchasing power rather than direct food distribution, start in five to six cities, and, if successful, expand nationwide.
