Surplus food program distribution
plans are explained by Stanford
The Surplus food program in
structions and regulations have
heen outbade by Donald M. Stan
ford, Chairmen Orange County
Commissi oners.
The N. C. Dept, of Agriculture,
accepting from the U. S. D. A.
regulations safeguarding food
from loss, spoilage, or diversion
to unauthorized use, offered to
the Counties the commodities for
needy families provided the
Board of Commissioners will ac
cept the same safeguarding re
sponsibility. Tentative accept
ance has been approved by the
Commissioners.
According to Stanford:
First formal steps would be
signing of an agreement promis
ing to supervise the transporta
tion, handling, warehousing and
distribution according to the
terms and conditions contained
in a handbook of instructions re
ceived from the N. C. D. A. and
the U. S. D. A.
Such supervision as pointed
out in the commodity handbook i
would require the oppointmenl j
of a full time supervisor (and i
then the state’s compliance is notj
mitigated by this appointment);!
adequate space facilities and per- j
sonnel to repackage if necessary; !
adequate dry and, if available,
refrigerated storage kept clean
and sanitary, stored on racks
above the floor, protected from
rodents and theft, packed so as
to permit the use of the oldest
stocks first, stacked to permit
proper ventilation, stacked to
permit inventory check at any
time, not stocked too high so as
to overload the floor or cause
unsafe handling. “If for any rea
son the Board of Commissioners
stores or permits storage of foods
tinder less favorable conditions,’
the Board does so at its own risk
and will be expected to reim j
burse for any food lost.
•accouniaoimy terms require
that records be kept of food re
ceived and the amount distribut
cd to needy persons substanti
ated by individual signatures on j
a distribution record. The N. C.
D A. will request restitution for
any loss from negligence and
from permitting use of food for
unauthorized uses” such as pay
ment of wages to workers.”
The County Superintendent 01
Public Welfare, through an agree
ment with the State Welfare
Board and N. C. D. A. will have
the responsibility of declaring
eligibility of recipients. Automa
tically eligible would be those
receiving Old Age Assistance,
Aid to the Blind, Aid to Depen
dent Children, Aid to the Per
manent and totally Disabled and
General Assistance. Other needy
persons would include the un
employed, parttime employed
and “other persons in need.”
Private agencies may refer per
sons to the superintendent. Final
determination and certification
remains with the superintendent.
Eligibility is based on total in
come of all members of the fam
ily from all sources. In order to
qualify one person in a family
must gross monthly less than
$75; 2 persons less than $95, three
less than $105; upward $10 per
person from this figure up to a
family of 1ft persons requiring
less than $175 monthly. Where
emergencies other than income
exist, income requirements may
be waived.
Applications should be re
ceived only from the head of the’
family and only applicants with
cooking facilities will be consi
dered. The applicant must sweat
that he is giving true and cor
rect information. Certification of
' requests will be listed on distri
bution cards and filed according
to those approved and those dis
approved. Ja concentrated effort
must be made by the superinten
dent to delete the certified per
son whose income changes. “At
least every three months each
case must be reviewed.”
Identification cards will be giv
en to household heads which will
be presented at the time of dis
tribution. When the food is re
ceived, it will be noted on the
distribution card and signed by
the recipient. If the household
head is unable to appear, he may
designate in writing a represen
tative to receive his donation.
F*ood distributd to one person
for one month would include 5
lbs. corn meal, 10 lbs. flour, 2
lbs. rice, 4% lbs. dry milk, 7 lbs.
lard, 2 % cans dried eggs, 1 lb.

The program is stated to last
at least three months with a

nate participation on thirty days
notice. -
