MARRIAGES, PARTIES
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
THE INVADER.

Spring snow was the invader, cruel
and still,
Driving in through the night, its bar
ricades
Thrown high once more against the
spring, its will
Pressing down slow weight on the
tender blades
OF grass, and bending the crocus
cups to spill
Their gold-At dawn, a sky the color
of lead
Arched dismally above the belea-
guered land.
From the south windows, we threw
out the bread
For hunghy robins, and we watched
them stand
On one foot, with the other tightly
pressed
Behind the feathers fluffed to shield
the breast.
The sun came out at last; fantastic
spires
Toppled, and snowy bridges fell, and
wall
Pushed over wall. The slowly creep
ing fires
OF green spread on the slopes that
faced the sun.
We saw the last snow from the
branches fall
And, through the shrinking drifts,
the steady run
Of melted snow. Then, lifting from
the cold,
A crocus cup we found-still held
its gold.

Food Stamps a Success, Plan

Consumption Of Surp|uses by Needy Families
Increased Far Beyond Expectations

=, good at any cooperating grocery
store for purchase of any kind of
food. With each purchase of an
orange stamp, which is worth 81,
they are given a 50-cent blue stamp
good only for purchase of foods
designated as surplus commodities.
The Government redeems the
stamps from the groceryman at face
value.
Officials believe that after the plan
is extended this year pressure will
come from city officials, farmers and
business groups for its continuance
and expansion. Such an outcome,
they said, would permit the Agricu-
ture Department to shift its empha-
sis from production control to one
OF augmenting and encouraging con-
sumption.
Food Dealers Interested.
The plan has evoked special in
terest, officials said. among grocers
and wholesalers of food Because of
the extra business being turned their
way, distributors in the experiment
tai cities have put on special cam
paigns to sell surplus products and
have cut their profit margins.
From funds appropriated by Con-
gress for disposal Of surpluses, off,
Gals expect to use between $75, 5,OOO,-
900 and s10O, 100000 under the stamp
plan.
Surplus commodities being dis
tributed include butter, eggs, flour,
cereal products, citrus fruits, pears
and fresh vegetables. Cotton goods
and lard may be added this fall.
