Inaugurated Here Monday

the purchase of foods not ordinarily
consumed on the premises, which ex-
Guides ice cream cones, sandwiches
etc. Tobacco, liquors, wines, and beers
cannot be purchased with them.
AL persons eligible to participate are
being mailed Identification cards, which
must always be shown when obtaining
stamps. Two kinds of stamps are
issued. One is an orange stamp, good
for any article of food in retail stores
not ordinarily consumed on the prem
ises. The other is blue stamp which
is given free with the orange stamps,
and it may be exchanged only for ar
ticles listed as surplus commodities by
the secretary of agriculture.
The requirement that the orange
stamps be purchased insures that regu-
lar food purchases will be maintained
so that food received free with the blue
stamps will be in addition to and not
in place of these regular purchases.
For each 81 in orange stamps pur-
chased there will be so cents worth of
blue stamps given free. Both are bound
in the same book and are available in
81, So, 81 So, So and SO denominations.
Each stamp, whether orange or blue,
has value of Is cents
In the case of persons on direct re-
lief food orders, which limited direct
reliefers to about so items, will be dis
continued and they will now be given
food voucher which may be ex-
changed for stamps at the food stamp
issuing office. They may now purchase
any item in the grocer's store not
banned by the plan.
If the price of food purchased can
not be paid for by one or more stamps
then the difference can be taken care
of by the merchant giving the pur-
chaser a credit slip, or the buyer
can pay the difference in cash.

Youth should not be blamed for all
the intersections Not all the danger
from bottle, a car and youngsters
stepping on the gas should be charged
up against the young ones. Society
and parents are in great measure to
blame for allowing conditions making

saloon days were bad enough but the
present conditions with dinmed lights

possible, says an exchange.
