Fragmentary OCR notes indicate a Joliet township matter about amplitudes or entries in 2006. Reading quality is poor. no clear action, date, or entities beyond Joliet area references.
A township meeting approved a program to relieve hunger by increasing food supplies and distributing surplus commodities. Attendees included Charles Keiler Martin Gleason town clerk Henry Grassie Joseph Donda and Stanley Simps representing various agencies. A letter was sent to Paul H Jordan asking about financial responsibility required of the township. Jordan replied and another meeting was planned to push the movement forward.
The food stamp plan, tried in Springfield last May, spurred a $50,000 monthly grocer boom and larger meals for relief clients. The program allows buying orange stamps with federal checks, plus blue stamps worth half the orange, increasing food budgets by about 50 percent and raising the average meal cost from 14 to 19 cents.
