‘Food Stamp Info Misleads ’ (Cont’d from page 1] were operable in virtually all counties.

This year there is a new attraction at the car show in the form of a Rod Run. Such an event involves modified cars called street rods which are of Pre-1948 vintage. The Rod Run is being sponsored by the Street-Tiques of Asheville, a very active street rod club, consisting of some 30 members, many of whom own, build, and drive street rods. It is reported that two neighboring street-rod clubs will also participate in the rod run plus many individual rod owners. This should be a very exciting weekend in Mars Hill for anyone who likes any form of motor vel icle. Come on out and get in on the fun and the food and at the same time help the Mars Hill Fire Department in its fund raising effort. Quarterly Reports Are Due Quarterly wage reports and social security contribu tions for household workers are due by August 2, according to social security officials here. “People who pay a house hold worker SSO or more in cash wages in any 3-month quarter must send a report of the wages, along with the social security contribution to the Internal Revenue Service within one month after the end of the quarter,” a social security spokesman said. Quarters are January- February-March, April-May- June, July-August-September and October-November-De cember. Wage reports and social security contributions for the 2nd quarter of 1976 are due by August 2. “The date would July 31, but July 31 falls on a Saturday this year,” the spokesman said. - People who employ house hold workers may file the wage report on a form available at any Internal Revenue Service Office- Employer’s Quarterly Tax Return for Household Em ployees (for Social Security). The social security contri bution for a household em ployee is 5.85 percent of covered wages, and the employer pays a matching amount. Social security contribu tions help build retirement, disability, survivors and Me dicare hospital insurance pro tection for workers and their families. People who employ household workers can get a free copyipMhe leaflet, Social Security and Your Household Employee, at any social security office, the spokesman said. 1975. During this period, the food stamp program grew substantially from 15 million to 19.5 million persons. As unemployment grew by more than 70 percent, the number of food aid recipients grew by about 30 percent. Then, as unemployment be gan to abate, food stamp rolls began to decline until in July, 1975, 19.1 million persons received stamps. Thus the growth in the food istamp program since the early 1960 s appears due almost entirely to three factors: (1) the entry of many counties into the food stamp program for the first time; (2) the transfer of nearly 2,000 counties from the commodity program to the food stamp ' BL- '*? -r ‘ jgT , JKSP'*- ■ -i V• £ •v. kK; • Sutton Drives To Victory Marshall Sutton drove his new 64 JR to victory In the street stock division at Harris Speedway Sunday. He won his heat race which gave him the Ist row outside. When the flagman started the race, Marshall got the jump on the others and held on to win. He then ran with the late model sportsman and was running 3rd when he started experiencing mechanical trouble. This was Marshall's Ist feature win in the 1965 CheveUe. Marshall said he owes the win to his chief mechanic and older brother, Bobby, who just moved here from Miami. The races have been moved to Friday nights at 8:00 instead of Sundays.

If we destroy democracy program (3) the sharp lise in unemployment. The number of persons nationwide who receive food stamps is not proportionately large, despite what some politicians are currently char ging. The last available statistics show that 19.1 million Americans (including 1.4 million persons in Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands) receive food stamps, 5.2 million fewer than the number of U.S. residents who lived below the 1974 U.S. census poverty line. There are also politicians who for their own gain claim that the food stamp program is a “haven for chiselers and rip-off artists.” In May, 1975, the USDA reported to the Senate Agriculture Commit tee that the percentage of households fraudulently re ceiving food stamps is 0.08 percent. In contrast, USDA says that about seven percent of those who are denied food stamps are improperly denied and thus are actually eligible. The purpose of food stamps is to get money for food into the hands of those who need it. Distortions on food stamps can, no doubt, serve political ends especially during an election year. Let us listen, then, not so much to the politicians as to the 30 million poor and near-poor in our midst whose human potential cannot be allowed to be lost forever to malnutri tinn r!
