County Expected
To Cooperate In
Food Stamp Plan
A food stamp program that
would enable low-income persons
to purchase more food for less
money will probably be imple
mented in Moore County, starting
in July, it was announced this
week by Mrs. Walter B. Cole of
Carthage, county director of pub
lic welfare.
W. S. Taylor of Aberdeen, mem
ber of the board of county com
missioners, said today that the
board had made application sev
eral months ago for Moore Coun
ty to be included in the program.
He said that the board will pro
bably discuss the matter on Mon
day and that details of its opera
tion in Moore remain to be work
ed out. There had been some dis
cussion, he said, of whether it
would be applicable on a season
al basis or all through the year.
Six North Carolina counties
have already begun participation
in the program, R. Eugene Brown,
state commissioner of public wel
fare, announced this week.
Mrs. Cole gave the following
explanation of the program:
Low income families using the
food stamp plan are eating much
more and better foods, with more
than 80 percent of the increase
in livestock products, fruits, and
vegetables. Their diets are much
more nutritious than before.
In addition, the food stamp plan
helps the economy of the com
munities where it is in effect by
increasing sales in retail food
stores. All food items can be
bought with the stamps except
certain imported items. Alcoholic
beverages and tobacco are prohi
bited.
The food stamps are issued ac
cording to an income scale. Per
sons receiving public welfare
assistance are considered to be
in economic need. Other families
may also receive food stamps pro
vided their income does not ex
ceed certain amounts. The re
quirements are worked out by
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and the public welfare de
partment and are in line with the
standards used by the State to
determine eligibility for its wel
fare programs.
Banks in the counties using the
food stamp plan are cooperating.
County departments of public
welfare issue to individuals anr’
families an authorization, which
is similar in appearance to a
check. This authorization is taken
to banks, which issue the food
stamps.
Families exchange the amount
of cash they would normally
spend on food for stamps which
are worth considerably more. For
instance, an individual may buy
food stamps worth $12 for $2
cash. A family may buy food
stamps worth $24 for $4 cash.

Distinguished Career
Born in Florence, Italy, Mr.
Ciompi studied with Boucherit,
Georges Enesco, and Diran Alex-
anian and' was the 1935 winner of
the Premier Prix du Conserva
toire de Paris. He also taught at
the Conservatorio Benedetto Mar
cello in Venice.
He was widely known through
out Europe before coming to the
United States in 1948 for a con
cert tour and a Carnegie Hall (N.
Y.) debut. He took up residence
in this country that same year,
after having been asked by Tos
canini to join the NBC Symphony,
and has been a citizen since 1954.
For fifteen years (1949-1964),
(Continued on Page 8)
Methodist Church, opened the
ceremony with a prayer dedica
ting the proposed structure “to
the relief and helping of those
who suffer” and asked Divine
blessing on “a project of com
passion and love.”
A light rain was falling
throughout the proceedings which
were not postponed because of
the numerous persons coming
from other areas of the state.
Mrs. Kennedy had been invited to
officiate at the ground-breaking
because of her exceptional inter
est in the camp.
Mayor Norris L. Hodgkins, Jr.,
expressing delight that Camp
Easter—a state-wide facility for
handicapped children that open
ed last year—is continuing to
grow, presented the special shov
el to Charles Enman of Asheville,
State president of the Society.
Mr. Enman voiced his appre
ciation for all the work that has
gone into the Camp Easter un
dertaking, with special thanks to
the citizens of Southern Pines.
The lodge will be a structure
of about 6,000 square feet in size,
housing a dining and assembly
room with big fireplace, kitch
en, lounge room for counselors,
the camp office and first aid
and rest rooms.
Exposed trusses will add to the
interior charm. The exterior will
be finished in the same vertical
wood siding that is used on the
four campers’ cabins that were
previously built.
Entrances provide ram)ps, in
place of steps, for the many
campers who. use wheel chairs.
Austin and Faulk of Southern
Pines are the architects and L. M.
Daniels-, Jr., of Southern Pines
has the construction contract.
The lodge will be a major fac
tor in practically doubling the
service to handicapped children
to be rendered by Camp Easter
this summer, as compared to last
year—with plans calling for
about 200 campers in four two-
week sessions during the com
ing summer. The dining facilities
in the new lodge will free the
former cafeteria building for con
version to dormitory space.
Others present from this area
included: Mrs. Mark Liddell,
camp coordinator; W. P. Davis,
chairman of the camp committee,
and Mrs. Graham Culbreth, com
mittee member, both of whom are
also members 'of the State Socie
ty’s board of directors; Dr. H. A.
Peck, a director of the county So
ciety for Crippled Children and
Adults; John Harney, who has
headed the fund-raising for the
camp; Fred Teeter, president of
the local Jaycees who have aided
the camp project; and W. E. Sam
uels, Jr., treasurer of the county
society, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Sam
uels also were present.
Coming from out of town, in
addition to Mr. Enman, whn is on
both the executive committee and
the camp committee, were Bert
Hawley, executive director of the
State Society, of Chapel Hill;
Marshall Smith of Chapel Hill
who heads the Society’s fund
raising campaign there; R. A.
Lassiter of Raleigh, a member of
both the executive committee and
the camp committee, who was
formerly the State Society’s exec
utive director; Clarence White-
field of Durham, member of the
executive committee and immed
iate past president of the State
Society; and Miss Dell Norfleet
of Winston-Salem, a contributor
and friend of the camp.
Several other members of the
executive and camp committees
who were unable to be present
sent their greetings and best
wishes, as did a number of in
terested local persons who could
not attend because of the bad
weather or other reasons.
