the head of the households to the
local welfare department where
certification has already begun.
The income of all members of the
family from all sources must be
considered.
The determination of need of all
persons applying for food shall be
in accordance with the eligibility
standards as set up by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
Board of Public Welfare.
The program applies to all needy
persons in the county whether or
not engaged'-in farming. Distribu
tion of these products will begin
soon after the middle of November.
Each person'certified will be re
quired to show his Identification
Card at the warehouse. If the head
of the household is unable to go to
the warehouse to pick up his fo^d,
he must name in writing the person
whom he wishes to pick up the
food for him.
