Mrs. Heath's plan to eliminate the
middleman Involves the/creation of a
n ir registry committee. Already this
best committee has begun its preliminary
BTer work of listing all farmers within the c
very flfty-mlle xone. The rolls will be
only ?Pen 10 a11 housekeepers who wlshM
the to avail themselves of an opportun- a
the ttj to obtain fresh produce at small f
flint cost. The league will work In harmony
with the State Orange r
The resultant economy, Mrs. Heath t
believes, will be dual, lnaac.uch as f
the farms will receive more for their c
linn pro<Iuc? 111,111 now receive from 1
IMG doa,erB> while the consumers will get r
fresh food at lower prices than those t
now charged. The plan will be ex- t
r-old tended, Mrs. Heath said, to include <
Dud- vegetables In season.

opened next Wednesday In the prln'
