The National Outlook
By George Hagedorn
BIG BROTHER TO HELP
PAY THE FOOD BILL
A proposal presently before
the Committee on Agriculture
of the House of Representa
tives would establish a nation
al food-stamp program. Its an
nounced purposes are to im
prove the nutrition of needy
families and to help in the dis
posal of agricultural surpluses.
It would also have the ef
fect of new federal encroach
ment on the freedom and re
sponsibility of individual
households to make their own
budgetary decisions, on states
to deal with welfare problems
within their borders, and on
merchants to conduct their
businesses in their own way.
Briefly the plan would work
as follows: Needy families (not
necessarily families already
receiving public assistance)
would be certified as eligible
by their local Welfare Offices.
The local official would then
determine, under a federally
approved formula, how many
food stamps the family should
purchase and how many free
stamps it would be given as a
bonus. The stamps would be
used as substitutes for cash in
purchasing food items in eligi
ble retail stores. The federal
government would pay the en
tire bill for providing the bon
us stamps.
The Secretary of Agriculture
would have very extensive but
loosely-defined powers in ad
ministering the plan. For ex
ample, the states are directed
to establish eligibility stand
ards for participating house
holds which take into account
such factors “as the Secretary
determines will tend to effec
tuate the purposes of the food
stamp program.'’ The coupon
allotment for each family shall
be “in such amount as will
provide each household with
an opportunity more nearly to
obtain a nutritionally adequate
diet.” The payment the family
is required to make for its
coupons is the amount that
“the Secretary determines is
equivalent to their normal ex
penditures for food.”
For a retail store to be eligi
ble to receive the stamps it
must first get the approval of

| the Secretary of Agriculture.
Applicant firms will be re
:, quired by the Secretary to sub
? mit such information as he
- feels he needs to make his de
cision. The Secretary is au
-, thorized to issue regulations

Preventing families from
trading their coupons to others
for cash or non-food items
would pose substantial prob
! lems. The bill provides severe
penalties for this kind of
I chiseling, but enforcing it
would seemingly involve rath
er extensive policing.
Congress had better take a
good look at any proposal
; which gives a federal official
| such powers for arbitrary in
' tervention in personal, busi
! ness and state and local af
fairs —and imposes only very
loose controls on his spending
of the taxpayers’ money.
National Week
Set for Employ
The Handicapped
ATLANTA — Each taxpayer
can be proud of his contribu-
I tion toward the rehabilitation
of handicapped veterans, Pete
: Wheeler, Director, Georgia De

said today.
Commenting on National
Employ the Handicapped
Week. October 6-12, Mr.
Wheeler said that more than
i 1.5 million service - disabled
veterans received vocational
i rehabilitation training provid
led by the Veterans Admini
■ stration between 1943 and
i 1962.
Most of those who received
rehabilitative assistance have

need only to look at the record,
Mr. Wheeler said.
Most veterans disabled dur
ing World War II have com
pleted this type training: some
Korean veterans are still in
training; and some service-dis
abled peacetime veterans are
eligible for it.
Under this program, a dis
abled veteran may attend a
university, vocational school,
or take on-the-job training, or
work-job combination courses.
Veterans with service - con
nected disabilities who seek
vocational training should con
tact the nearest Georgia De
partment of Veterans Service
for assistance. Nearest office is
at the Courthouse. Its manager
is Mrs. Ty Cason.
U. S. Savings Bonds offer
citizens a chance to share di

America’s goals. At the same
time they help the bond buyer
to insure his own financial se
curity in the years to come.
President Kennedy has said,
“We shall pay any price, to as
sure the survival of liberty.”
Buying U. S. Savings Bonds is
a small part of the price for

NEVER LEAVE SMALL
CHILDREN ALONE
IN BATHTUB
Don't leax ea small child alone in
the bathtub to play with toys in the
water while you answer the phone,
go to the door, do an errand in some
other part of the bouse. Remember
— death by drowning occurs in less
than 5 minutes. Your child could
easily fall, bang his head against the
tub, or become frightened, start
kicking and slip and drown. When
you are bathing your child let other
things wait until you are finished
and the child is safely out of the
tub and the bathroom.
