Butler County Wins Food Stamp Approval in Ohio
Butler County Welfare Director Warren Harding announced that the county is now approved to distribute federal food stamps, joining 29 other Ohio counties. The plan allows stamps for welfare recipients to be exchanged for food at groceries, but practical hurdles include application in Hamilton, cash outlays from welfare grants, and limited redemption due to store contracts and federal rules.

Food stamp plan eyed as county burden grows
Harding criticized the proposed food stamp approach noting families lack funds when needed. He urged a county contract with a bank to manage stamps and warned of cash drain. Welfare uses and volunteer labor already handle over 1 million pounds of surplus foods annually with $27,000 yearly admin costs, avoidable if stamps replaced. Church groups aid welfare dependents, and Harding worries about continuing commodity shipments. White called the announcement a surprise.
