The event was a fund raising effort to benefit the club's annual Awards Banquet. Over a dozen attractive mo dels paraded before an appre ciative audience, displaying the latest in fashions. Some of the outfits modeled were from "Fancy That," a popular wo men's store located in Mat thews and owned by Ms. Alice Diamond.

ΤΟΡαΤΗΕ DAY NOON WEEKDAYS WBIV •Λ ·,, ifeigft removed from the food stamp program without delay when a change in business operations makes them ineligible to ac cept food stamps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced last week. Under a new food stamp program rule, when a partici pating firm has changed the nature of its business and is no longer eligible to accept food stamps, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will immediately notify the firm that its food stamp authoriza tion is being withdrawn. FNS officials offered the example of a delicatessen that sells groceries and provides carry-out food service. If the delicatessen eliminates gro cery sales and converts to a restaurant, it can no longer accept food stamps under USDA regulations. FNS field _ offices monitor participating food stores to make sure they comply with program rules. Under the old procedure, FNS first had to ask the firm to submit a new application for food stamp authorization. If the firm was ineligible, the application then would be de nied and permission to accept food stamps withdrawn. FNS officials sai(fehe new rule will increase efficiency, allowing FNS to move more quickly to remove firms which should no longer be accepting food stamps. At the same time, officials added, the change in proce I uurc win eliminate neeaiess paperwork. New applications for authorization usually con tained information already a vailable to FNS, officials poin ted out. Officials emphasized FNS will continue to examine care fully eligibility of all partici pating firms. A firm which loses its food stamp authoriza tion will continue to have the right to administrative and judicial review of the action. The final regulation was scheduled to appear in the May 10 Federal Register. The rule was published on January Sammie N. Wynn Joins U.SL Air Force Sammie N.
