MOVE To ABOLISH
USE Of ALL FLOUR
PERMITS IS MADE
FRANC MANGUM WILL PROPOSE
NEW SYSTEM FOR HANDLING
PROBLEM THAT WILL PREVENT
ANNOYANCE.

There is a movement on foot abolish
the system OF issuing -four permits for
each purchase made. The existing
system has proven annoying alike to
farmers and the various local food ad
n.inistrations, and the movement to
abolish issuance of single-purchase
permits is expected to prove popular
among an concerned.
Franc Mangum, food administrator
for Sumter county, has evolved a new
plan for controlling the distribution
of wheat -four, and will submit this
to DR. A. M. Soule and the state food
administration for approval. The plan
contempIates the issuance Of a sin
ple permit to farmers and others enti-
tied to purchase wheat -four without
substitute cereals under the fifty-tifty
plan, each card to have attached
twelve coupons, each coupon emitting
any dealer to sell the possessor of the
permit, whose name will be endorsed
thereon, not more than twenty-four
pounds of wheat -four. The dealer will
retain the coupons taken up with such
sales and these will be used in turn
III effeeting offset purchases from
wholesalers. Provision will be made
for dealers to endorse Mpcn The face
of the card the date upon which eou-
poIs are detached, and no dealer ls
authorized to detach other coupons
until after the expiration of thirty days
following the date of such endorse
ment.
Mr.. Mangum proposes further to re-
quire each applicant for -four permits
under the new system to make an afi-
davit setting forth the number of in
dividuals in his family, and the guam
tity of other cereals on hand at the
time application for such permit is
made. The number of individuals in
various families is to be taken as
a basis for the quantity of wheat flour
te, be allowed and once this question
has been ruled upon and a permit
used, the applicant would not be re-
CURED to secure another permit until
the expiration of the year for which
the permit is issued Merchants re
ceiving coupons from such permit
cards are to be required to report
thereon to the local food administra
ton and such reports will ge filed for
reference. If upon investigation it is
shown any individual has fraudulent
ly secured a card, prosecution would
bC entered against such individual
without delay, while in instances where
any person is detected mis-represent-
ing the number of individuals consti-
tuting his family, the permit issued
such person will be Immediately cam
celled, and merchants reporting sales
Of wheat flour to such individuals up
on presentation of such cancelled cards
prosecuted. All of the permits issued
under the new system are to be num-
bered and individuals will retain one
number during the continuance of the
system.
Mr. Mangum has not yet discussed
TIE proposed change in system
with local merchants, but invites sug-
gestions thereon from all, and
will forward all such suggestions to
the state food authorities, along with
his proposal to institute the new sys-
TEN of controlling sales of wheat
-Four to farmers.
