should be taken into consideration
and requests should be made ac-
cording to need.
The best way, the ideal way,
to avoid the building up of invent
ories is the careful planning of
the use of donated commodities
i'm menus. Complete utilization of
donated commodities within a rea-
sonable period of receipt will solve
future inventory problems, and
commodities will then be used for
the purpose for which they are
intended.
Whatever success the COmmod-
isy Distribution Program enjoys
can, in large measure, be attrib-
uted to the splendid cooperation
of its recipients.
