of year-epd forces, notably tax
selling" mixed with a great deal
of uncertainty concerning war
developments and the future OF
private investments.
The net result, in both years,
was a light. gradual decline in
the generally accepted aver
ages" Last week, most of the
averages lost between one and
two points.
In both years, too. the aver
ages Of corporation bond prices
sagged a little.

Cotton Stamps
BY GRANT MCGEE
NEA Service Special Correspondent

NEA SpcCIdA
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Last veal
Mrs. Lille Mae Wilkinson Of Mem
phis had a mighty hard time buy
ing any cotton goods at all for he1
brood of five daughters and a son
This year Mrs. Wilkinson say:
she is having an easier time buying
about three times as much.
Every three months Mrs. vii
kinson can go down to the Memphis
auditorium and be handed a bunch
of stamps that will buy 81 worth 81
cotton goods. That makes $16 6
year.
So Mrs. Wilkinson thinks the first
cotton stamp plan, inaugurateo
here in Memphis last May 7 by the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration, is working out very well.
LOTS OF
SMILES
The FSC, Memphis merchants
and the whole cotton industry arc
just about as we'll pleased.
Mrs. Wilkinson's experience has
been duplicated in hundreds of re-
lief families in Memphis and Shell
by county. They're buying consld-
erably more cotton for the simple
reason that the stamps can't be tx
changed for other goods.
Ernest Male, chief of the cotton
and food stamp Office, predicts the
plan will increase the disposition
of cotton goods in the city and
county by about $500, 600. The
FSC originally figured the in
crease would be about $3.50, 600.
Here are the figures:
From May 7 to May 81 the FSC
office caused $780, 1863 in cotton
stamps to be distributed.
In this period 1921 families re-
ceived stamps, buying $8293 in
green stamps and obtaining $2l,57o
in brown stamps. Brown stamps
are issued free on the basis of a
dollars worth of free stamps for
every dollars worth of green
stamps bought. But brown stamps
are given free to relief families
certified as being unable to pur-
chase green stamps.
From June l through June "
green stamps issued totaled $l4l4'
with $1,855 in free stamps pelns
distributed to 500 families. .
Thus, in the first two months OF
operation, a total of $33, 1873 in green
and brown stamps was distributed
among 1920 families, with the
stamps being exchanged at stores
for cotton products almost as soon
as they we're received by clients
on public assistance rolls.
POINT
TO PROOF
Because clients buy or receive
their stamps only once in each
three-month period, there is a a
ural slackening after the first
month in each quarter. Days on
which stamps are given out have
