Banks Reluctance Delays Butler County Food Stamp Start
The Butler County food stamp program may start April 1 but hinges on Middletown banks joining. Warren L. Harding says the Citizens Savings & Loan Association will handle stamps only if the Agriculture Department requests it, while Second National Bank of Hamilton is lined up for Hamilton, Fairfield, and Oxford areas. About 2,300 county residents may qualify, including welfare recipients and low income families who once received surplus commodities. The surplus program ends as stamps begin, with banks designated as depositories and selling stamps and buyers receiving a purchase-price bonus.
