Surplus Dried Eggs and Dry Milk
Solids Offered School Lunch


Dried eggs and non-fat dry milk
solids from U. S. Department of
Agriculture's price-support stocks
are being offered free at the points
where they are stored in school
lunch programs and to Federal,
State, and local public welfare
agencies for the assistance of
needy persons in Delaware. This
was announced recently by Ernest
Mattiford, chairman of the State
Production and Marketing Admin
istration Committee.
These commodities will be handl-
ed under the system of distribution
provided in Section 416 of the Ag-
ricultural Act of 1949. This law
sets up several priorities on distri-
button of Government surplus foods
by various types of recipients, and
it provides that recipient agencies
must pay handling charges and
transportation from the points of
storage.
Mr.. Mattiford said that distribu-
tion of dried eggs and non-fat dry
milk solids will be limited to the
first category of eligible agencies
described in the Act, which, besides
school lunch programs and public
welfare agencies, includes the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs. Potatoes
already being offered under the
Section 416 plan of distribution
are available on an even broader
basis, including private welfare
organizations for assistance OF

try and abroad.
