Board o f Selectmen to Call fo r Bids; Another Claim Put on Record; Ordinance Discussed.

The aocident-elalms problem In Mancheater came in for dlscuarion last night, with ths Board of SatoetmoB flnaUy dsekUng to ask «(>r bids from any interested local InauriMwe agent who can cover the town’s UafaUlty on street and olda- walk mlohapa. Full particulara of the town's needs can te obtained from George H. Waddell.

Already under (xmslderaUon are two Insurance Mds, and tba Board desires that all agents have an equal opportunity to socure the builneea which It plans to let ih order to do away with accident rteim* costs OS much as possible.

Favats Ii*w Fremiaiiia Tba public safety committee re-

ported that Town Counoal WlUlam S. Hyde favor* the adoption of low premium Insursaoe If it can ba hod, and that ba also strongly urges Board to snforoe appropriate ac-tion t^ keep a minutely accurate check ef.aU actions relating to atreet and aldawalk care.

Recently Town Counsel Hyde has bean caUed on to defend damage state without any;.sort of facts ra- lating to tha mlMiap, a situation which makes It tmpii^ble to offer a defense for the town.

Keep Tabs on Work There was a recmnmendatlon

made that all wqili done, on , the streets and walks be calendered; that when a Mdewalk is cleared or sahdediMm ateeff a n ^ thna wnd location, exactly, so that tha m formation may form the basU o f legal testimony.

Hyde also asked that steps be taken to Insure adoption of a proper and enforceable sidewalk claaranca ordlnanea for tha town..

A fter receiving the request, the Board failed to act on It

It was tatlteatod that It would be too much to o A town truck drivers to'keep a telly sheet such as any delivery clerk for a store has to maintain.

It was the opinion that Mnce a sidewalk olearanee ordlaianee has previously been turned down here, none ever can te adopted.

Police Blight Help.It was thought that tbe police

department "might co-operate” more, but how, or when, was left until next winter.

■ CSilcago,, Feb. 4—(A)—The game of wits between handbook opera-tors tn Chicago’s Loop and law officers who want to put them out of busineaa haa taken a new tw ist

Police Commissioner James P. Allman haa ordered the finger-printing at every betting patron his ralden can round up.

In two raids yesterday the po-lice seised 120 men and 24 women and carted them to headquarters. The women were released on bond after being booked on disorderly conduct charges.

Ctork Works Lelsarely.The men. however, were lined

up for fin^rpiinting. A lone fingerprint clerk worked leisurely at his Job, taking only one set of prints at a time. They were measured for height weighed, and asked their ages, nicknames, oc-cupations, and color of hair and eyes.

It was midnight before the last of tee weary bettors gained their release on bond.

AU this doesn’t necessarily m^n teat the fellow who lays it oivthe line in a smoked-fllled betting parlor will be convicted, but it may prove to be an avyful nuie- ance.

I f tee law can cqiise enough annoyance to bettor*—so the rea-soning goes—they might think twice before entering a handbook. And no custorners mean no hand-books. . ........

Thcq police figure that the risk of being detained at poUce head-quarter for several hours may prove- a deterrent to betting.

The clerk caught by a raiding sqdad while visiting a bookie dur-

tee lunch hour might have dif-ficulty iexplalning Ids absence to the boss. And tee wife who waits and waits for her husband as the dinner grows cold can think up some ndfhty v e x l^ questions,

'The society, formed about two years ago. Incorporated jreaterday under Indiana law.

Papers carried the provlston that any city enrolling 26 “csrtl- fled screwballa” should be given a charter.

The ambitious little fraternity was founded on the principle that many human beings are created^ sonlewhat balmy.

has the title of recording aeirew In the mother chapter, said teat per-sons who wanted to join might qualify very aimply—and he used the word advisedly.

“They have to do oomethtng a UtUe off center to be eligible,” he explained.

For example, one Angola busi-ness man went to Florida and for-got to take money along. He w/a Inducted aa soon aa he got back.

Hubbard and Charles M. Grif-

osnier, founded Screwbalis in December, 1938 un-der informal circumstances. 'They were talking over coffee In a res-taurant when m acquaintance came In. /

"Somebody remarked that If the Bcrewballs or the world were or-ganised. hyd be president,” Hub-bard recalled. "One thing led to anotee^and tee Screwballa of Ameijira was born.”

Retired Printing Firm Executive, Only Sur-vivor, to Dine Alone.

--------ladlqaipsiifty.

last, man of the Frankfort, Ind., No. 10 club will dine tonight wlte nine empty chaini and toast nine dead cronies In old champagne to keep a pact made more than 54 years ago.

He is John K. Thatcher, 79- year-old retired printing firm ex-ecutive who lives here. The laat club member to die wa* hla bache-lor couain, John C. Paris, who suc-cumbed In Frankfort Jsn. 12.

In November, 1880, three young bloods of Frankfort went, hunting. They brought beck more game than they could eat so they called In seven friends and banqueted In tee downtown bachelor apartment of Paris and Fred Tice.

Drank AU Bat Ooo Frank Lancaster, who owned a

aaloon, "brought 48 bottles of champagne with him,” Thatcher recalled today, “and we drank all but one.”

They saved the last bottle for the last aurvlvor to drink. And thus No. 10 club was born.

First to die Samuel Steel, five yeara later. Tice went in 1901 Rudolph Barringer In 1911 and Lancaster in 1917.

Then for a long time the olx aur- vlvora were together. In 1980 Rube Klopfer died, and a year later John Doyal. Jess Young and John Steed both dropped out In 1930. Thatcher and hls couain were tee only ones left.

Takea Bottle from Vaolt New teat be Is alone, Thatcher

has taken the old bottle o^ cham-pagne from ita bank vault.

Tonight he will carry It to i

room of the Indianapolis Athletic club.

Gueata wlU be there—his friends and relatives, and newspaper re-porters—but they wlU not sit with him.

6tt hlf own table, tilted against it, will l)e only nine vacant chairs.

He will have a good dinner. Then he will break tee seal on the cham-pagne bottle and drink, fa c i^ the empty chairs. It will be the laat meeting of the No. 10 club.

Five Tugs Get Liner Off Bar

Three Pull Mightily as Others Chum Up Sand To Free Manhattan.

West Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 4. —Five stealning tuga aided by a tide crest set free the $10,000,(^ liner Manhattan shortly b efm lost midnight, pulling and wash Ing ber from a oand bar on which ohe went aground terae weeks ago.

Ttarae of tbe tuga pulled mighti-ly on the 24,000-ton United States Line veaecl while two others shut-tled back and forth on tee shore Bide to churn up sand, dragging the big ship a final 78 feet into deep water.

Half Crew StUI Abeard Still aboard was half the crew.

The 199 passengers ware removed Jan. 18, tee day after tee Man-hattan went aground, and refloat-ing operations began. Heavy awella drove the veseel high <m tee bar, nine mllea north, after she struck.

Tbe liner probably will remain in this vlciiuty for aeveral days while Ufaboate and fuel, removed during floating operations, era rs- turned aboard, teen be taken to drydock. An Inspection near tee Lake Worth inlet was planned.

Waahington. Feb. 4—(4V-The "S.R.O.” sign la out for tea House debate on the Britalh aid bill.

Interest among galleryites, in fact, was greater than among House members. Although tee leg-islation has been called unprece-dented and tee debate was expect-ed to make congreoalMial history, the number of congressmen pres-ent on the floor y^erday fluctu-ated between 100 and 200 out of a House memberahlp of 488.

When the gavel rapped for ad-journment only a corporal'a guard of 8 Democrats and l l Republi-cans could be counted on tbe all but deserted floor.

The crowds, however, stood In line all yesterday afternoon await-ing admittance to' the galleries, and there was every Indication that the number of vUitors would be as great throughout tee week.

Pay Close Attonthm Before the large scale exodus

preceding adjournment, thoiM rep- reMntatlves who settled down In the seml-clrculsr row* of black leather seats to follow tee debate paid close attention. Represents tlve CTooper (D.. Tenn.), presiding, seldom had to rap for order.

be any aucceaaful controversion of the statement that a con- eiderable part of the “aurplua" of the taut flacal year ia fictional, in that it Includea an imaginary aa- aet in the form of more than a million dollars "owed" by the old age easiatonce fund to the gen-eral fund, and which the Governor points out can not be repaid and which should have token the form of a straight transfer and been regarded as an expendltura, not a loan. Very properly Mr. Hurley advocates that hereafter this

loan" be written off and that such deficito shall ba frankly admitted

The recommendation for the ap-propriation of a auhatantlal sum for tha building and equipment of two new trade schools and tha ex-pansion of the faciiitiee of exist-ing ones should meet with approv-al—and parhapa it will be discov-ered that tha Governor has been nons too liberal in ble eatlmate of the neceeeary expenditure.

The Governor baa takan a look at poaalbUltIca rather than proba- blUtiea in the matter of the fi-nancing of the Hartford and New London bridgea. Recognialng the ultimate reeponaibiUty of the state for the payment of the bridge bonds in the event that the tolls j do not provide sufficient revenue, he wants to have It apeciflcally stipulated that any such payment by the state. If It avar should have to be made, aball be charge-able to the highway fund—a pro-vision that will doubiless meet with general approval.

la the matter of increases in aal- ariaa of stats amployaa, perhapa the Qovetnor might have been a little more expUdt aa to how far he would go la oonflntng thoae In-creases to the low-bracket aalariee. Thera is very little doubt that a good many state employee are badly underpaid, but there la a general feeling that the greater part already receive compensation at least adequate in proportion to the services rendered.

The Oovemor'e declaration for increased expenditures for the op-eration qf the state'e Institutional aet-up to its full capacity la un-compromising, lucid and should, wa fsel, recalve full support. Of course it la going to taka more money to run the institutional plant of Connecticut, now that It haa at laat been greatly enlarged and improved. But that followa

ference Whatever what or what we try to do.

If the German people had had any inkling aa to how this country haa felt about the war, ever aince the campaign in Flanders and in France, thia line of editorial ex- preaston conceivably might bo quite reaaaurlDg to them. But since the whole subject ia naw to almost all of them, it is quite poa- aible that they may ba quite, aa much impressed by the knowledge that they have another potential enemy, of whom they had been told nothing, aa by the reaaaur- anres. Particularly when there are a great many Germana who know very Well that it waa this aame potential enemy, then an active one, which turned the tide against their armies in the World War.

Among the German people of 40 or more there are very few who do not believe that it waa the United States who kept them from winning over France and Britain in 1018. It is not going to be easy for them to dlamiaa America's part In the present situation as ,Ughtty aa the German press pretends to do.

Barstow, Calif., Feb. 4—(ffT— Death Valley Scotty came in over the old 30-muie teqm trail from the deserted Harmony Borax Works, telling of seeing the ghoeta of mules he handled there 57 years ago and hearing again the tune “Dan Tucker" that he and the driver of a freighter once plunked on a banjo.

Sunday waa the first time the mystery prospector had been over the trail in 10 years.

The chief ranger of Death Val-ley monument said he hadn't heard of anyone traveling the road In more than a year. Scotty took hia 12-cyIiRder car "Mallcloua." named afU; the race horse, and with 30 extra gallons of gas, 30 gallona of water, ropes. Chains and shovels started out.

"I'll show you what Death Val-ley in the old days waa like," he said, eyes beaming.

S«« Ura\-e of FreighterDown on the floor of Death Val-

ley, he stopped before a turnoff Into Wingate paaa. Two aticks and a ring of stones Indicated a grave.

"We burled p freighter driver here in 1884," he said, touching one atlck and examining it closely. "Yep, aame stick. Look how the wind's eaten It."

Up Wingate pass six and a half miles waa a mining camp. We stopped to ask how the road.

“Don’t think you can get through," we were told. ‘Ten days ago a Couple of cars went up but came back. Thia la seven

'TTiar’a the monorail," he re-marked. “ I told a feller in Los Angeles 30 yeare or more ago about an epaom salts deposit. He raised thousands to build this mon-orail over the mountains to TTona.

Petain continues to insiat that he will never fight Britain, that he will never surrender the French fleet or any more French porta. But it is a somber fact that there ia only one French leadar upon whom Britain and her alllaa can absolutely rely—and that ona De Gaulla. No one, actually, knows how far Petoln’s powers of realat- ence will go. No one knows what Weygand will do but the belief ie that he will follow Petoln, either

And the French fleet who knows ?

The tension on the nerves of the antira world will remain terrific until this situation in Franca la aomehoa* resolved one a-ay or the other. It la the most threat-ening aspect in tha entire picture. More ao than the much talked- about invasion of England.

"Up thar," he chuckled. "I cached a pile of rich gold ore. Some feller found It—a splrltuaUst and he and hia church friends sunk $75,000 to $100,000 looking for more.”

Over Granite Ridge, Black- water, Granite Wells and the long route in. Scotty reminisced of the days a half century ago. From Death Valley, for more than a hundred miles to within a few miles of Bamtow, not a car waa seen, or a human being other than a few in the Wingate Pass Min-ing camp.

We have not received an official accounting aa yat, but no doubt Bolton iiM made a score of 100 percent: or In other words, Bol-ton has turned in better than 10 cento for each man, woman and child, for which, we can all be proud

I, as head of the local commit tee. would very much like to men- Uon, individually, eacltand every one, ouUtahdinig in Cbelr ass' ance to the cause, but space will not permit.

The four members of the com-mittee, who served with me in this drive, are bereby commended for their willing and untiring aai ance. The ladies of the Coventry Fragment Society of the Second CongrcgaUonal church of North Coventry are hereby congratulat ed for their big heartednsss in turning over to tha rajuae. matortol which we turned into cash to considerable amount.

Ope of the best signs that baby is doing well to a gain in weight.Through the first 5 monUia, the usual gain to about fl ounces per week. From the 6th month to the end of the first 12 months, the av-erage gain to between three-quar-ters of a pound and a pound per month.

The flesh which to gained ahould be firm and aolld, and the color of the cheeks aad lips ahould be good.

Other signs that the baby to do-ing well are a normal appetite, and normal aktlsfactlon aftar aat- ing. Feeding time ahould find the baby hungry, and after nunlng 10 to 20 mtnutea, he should sither xo to alesp or be satisfied enough to remain contented while hto eyes are open.

Good bowel movements are fur-ther evidence that all to gotmi well. Each day from 1 to 3 soft, smooth, and natural movements ahould Occur. The color ahould be light orange or yellow.

The beby who to thriving tends to have a sunny, cheerful dtopoei- tlon and tends to be reasonably active. At first he spends much of hto tlms sleeping but aa hto, na-tural, powers develop, he takes more snd more of sn interest in hto surroundings, and begins the movements a t the muscles appro-priate to the various stages of a healthy infant's development.

man plaaea have been active in the Mediterranean theater of the war la the past week, but the re-sults of thsir incursions, as far aa

Returning to Cairo from a fort-night with the British Army in Libya, I went through two raids by ths Nssl airmen in which no damage was dons.

Aa we arrived la Tobruk tost Friday Bight we saw three dive bombers playing hide-and-dsek with aearcnllgbto. At dawn Sattte day more German planes returned^ to Tobruk, bombing the harbor and machine-gunning the town, which waa practically empty. Bul-lets struck near us, but there were ao casualties.

”We havs accurata and sensi-tive sound locators for the listen-er' stations.

"Each gim battery (in hto regl ment) baa a remarkable instru ment called-a director, a sort of mechanical mathematical wtoard, the ground equivalent of the much talked about American bomb- sight, capabls of figuring out the exact point, where, under a given set of conditions, our shells and the approaching enemy planes should mset.”

The officer did not reveal wheth er the instrument worked a t night or only in the daylight.

Guns Allotted Regiment Devoting hto addreB to the

workings of an anti-aircraft reg' iment he said that each was al lotted “one dosen three inch gups, two dosen of the inch and a thud or 37 millimeter guns, and two dozen of the half inch guns, or .50 caliber machine guna.

T ha .50 caliber haa no fuss "all and must h it a vital part to do damage.” be said. 'T h e ' 87millimeter has a sensitive contact fuse so that one hit on any part of an enemy plane to usually suf' fleient

'And the three-inch projectile has a time fuse so a diract hit not necessary and an enemy plane 50, or even 80 yards, from the point of b u n t mhy ba destroyed.

He said tha ’’three Inch” guns were counted on to keep enemy planes high to spoil their bombing aim and to reduca their powers of observation. The anaaller guns, he said, were to oppose planes that swept in suddenly a t low al' titudes.

Decline Is Shown In Three Crimes

TBe Naal dive bombera which are active in the Mediterranean area are believed' to be based at Ctotanla, Sicily. They attacked a Britlah convoy last month, damag-ing the cruiser Southampton so badly that her crew finally sank her.

Both the Germans snd tha Itsl- tona said Sunday that Nasi dive bombers had attacked the Libyan coast, bitting aeveral ships.

Ths British Admiralty, acknowi edging yesterday that a ' Britlah vessel removing Italian war pris-oners from Libya waa bombed, sifld that ”a large number” of the prisoners were killed.

downfall by sheer . manpower, be alao said it would bS easier to ac-complish this result through an eoimomlc blockade.• In connection with the Britlaii- aid legislation, Eliot suggested that Oongreas set up a Senate- House committee to review activ-ities under the projected Britlah aid program and to study the progress of domestic defense.

Such a group functioned during the Civil war and discovered "much valuable Informatlbn,” he told the committee.

Eliot also sugnsted creation of a new "council for National De-fense” to be compoaed of Btata, War, Navy, Treasury and Com-merce aecrefaries; a representa-tive of the Office of Production Management, the Army chief of staffs* the chief of Naval opera-tions "and one or two competent civilians."

Poaes Great Difflcnlty Senator Vandenberg (R., Mich.)

told Eliot that "congreasional in-ability to have the full free, frank use of information in the bands of the military department" posed one great difficulty in the Legisla-ture's efforts to deal with defense problems.

Eliot suggested that the chief of Naval operations and the Army chief of staff might be brought in-to the membership of a defenae committee with the understanding that they ,voice candid opinions on all defense questions.

Under questioning by Senator Gillette (D-Iowa), Eliot said he .gOjUdtake the ■ risk of convoying sup-plies to Britain than to see Britain destroyed.

Congftaa, In voting on the pend-ing bilL must decide. Beard said, "whether Jt is prepared, on a show-down, to carry our country into war in Ehirope and Asia and thua set the whole world on Are, or la resolved to stay out to the laat ditch and preserve the stronghold of order and sanity even aganlst the forces of Hell."

He said he wanted to see Con- greaa "resume the legislative pow-er assigned to it" and by specifle leglalatlon of its own drafting, "authorize uaing the credit of this government in the aid of Ameri-can Induatriea engaged in supply-ing Great Britain with goods under positive conditions co-ordinated with American d^ensa produc- Uon."

Beard made his committee ap-pearance a short time before the House opened its second day of debate on British There, Re-publicans fighting the administra-tion measure eought to enlist Democratic support, and Repiesen- tatlve Fish 1R-NY) said he believ-ed Democrats would sponsor some restrictive amendments.

There were reports, too, that Wendell L. Willkie, the 1840 Re-publican presidential nominee who has announced qualified support for the bill, would recommend modifications when he returns from London next week to appear before the Senate Committee.

Beard said the leglslatloa he advocated should limit the amount and the terms of toe credit to In-crease production,' the amount to be flxqd In excess of "careful es-timates" of what toe British would need. The credit, he add-ed, should be made available im-mediately, while the British, be said, should be required to pledge their assets in toe United States and those available elsewhere to assure payment

"Thia situation,” he asaerted, wlU be further aggravated dur-

ing toe coming biennium by toe increased demand for personnel in Industries sngaged in defense work, and unlesa reservatioa la made to allow -for Increaeea In salariea where InequiUea still exist and for toe probable rise in toe cost o f living during the coming biennium, toe state win be faced with toe loss of many valuable and necessary employes who wUl secure employment elsewhere at salaries commensurate with their abilities."

sem before a Joint convention of toe two bouses to deliver his mes-sage, departed twice from his prepared text, once to "clarify in your mind,” he said, hia proposal concerning uee of General, Funds for toe Old Age Aaeistance Fund.

He explained that revenuea from toe head tax would be available to toe state In April to take care of toe preeent 21,025,000 debt, but it would then be necessary to bor-row again from toe General Fund In anticipation of receipts. It waa

By Majors Gan’t Be Re-turned on Option with-out Obtaining WaiversNew York, Feb. 4.—(P)—Back-

etags struggles la baseball ever rule! and reguistions sometimes •cem drab bualnese to the average •ports fan.

Sometlmea they are, but the ap-parently technical law-making is the warning nimble before such volcanic eruptions as (fommiaslon- or Kenesaw M. Landia freeing 90 players owned by Detroit, or .mak-ing pitcher RufUs Melton * Pblla- delpbi* Phil Instead of a Brooklyn uodger, or keeplnx Bob Feller with the Cleveland Indians.

Right now there Is another squabble stirring between some of the major league clubs and Landis over s new ruling that a minor league player purchased by a big leagua club while subject to to* baaeball draft can not b* returaad to toe minors on optloo unli waivers are obtained.

TO Come Up Today The ruling and the question of

what could be done about it were expected to com* up for discus-sion today st the National League’s annual icbedule meet-ing.

Landis’ order varies drastically with the rule adopted long ago by the clubs themselves that a player could be returned to the minors tore* times without getting walvere.

Th* practical effact ot to* regulation is this:

dneUmati'a world champion Reds bought a player named Charles (Chuck) Aleno from their Blrmtngbsm farm. He Is'a good player. He might be worth 880,- 000, maybe more. But he is a thli^ baseman. The Reds have a very able third baseman qow named BUI Werber. 80 they prob-ably expected to eend Aleno to Bome clan* doublc-A club Uk* tO' dianapotis for a year's aeasoning. i f th ^ Btill want to do it, they wUI have to aak for waivers by to* other major league ctubs. I f tbs PbUUes, or th* CarutnaU, or some ether club should put in a claim, the Reds would hav* to turn Mm over to that club for the waiver price of 17,800, or withdraw ths waiver request and keep him on their own roster. The Rede have

188 {riayers on toelr iquad nbw, but muat «ut dowfi to 28 player* by M aylS.

Another example would b* George Btaller, a young leftflelder purchased by toe Brooklyn Dodg-ers from Mootresl. The Dodeers have nln* outfielders, laoli leftflsldsr Joe Medwtek. When It eomee time to cut this number to four or five, Brooklyn wUl have to get waivers on StsIIer to send Um to to* minors, or tuns, him over to another major league chib for 87,500. or release somebody hk* Paul Waner, or Jo* Vlsmlk, or Jo* Gallagher—rwbicb is pretty costly, too.

Landia’ side ot the dispute tost every player capable of bold ing a Job in tb* majors ought to have th* cbance—If not with < club, then with another. And, course, he’s dead eet against ma-jor Isague clubs centroDing play ers In the minor leagues anyway.

Domel aald the foreign minis-ter, speaking at a meeting of the Budget Committee of the lower House of Parliament, asserted that "the situation between Japan and the United States has never been marked by greater miaunder- tandlng than at present.”

To kedoubte Efforts. Matsuoka promised to redouble

hla efforts to make Americans, ’grasp Japan's real intentions real power and firm determiria- tion," but added that ha alao yfant- ed "to make it clear to them that the Japanese nation does .hot care to risk war for the sake of its aspUAtlona." ^

Tusuke Tsuruml. writer and speaker who is widely known In the United States, asked the for-eign minister td indicate the limit of Japan’s ’’advance."

Matstio)^, Dome! reported, re-plied that Japan's position la out-lined hy the three-power treaty of Berlin, “which stipulates that Ja- psipd holds leadership In Greater

Manchester to Adopt ‘Stamp Plan’ for Food

New Set-Up WiU Help Those on Relief, Local Crocers and Farmers ,Who Have a Surplus.

The Federal commodity "stamp plan,” in effect alresuly In several Connecticut cities, and highly praised by those communities which have adopted the program, was approved for Manchester last night as the Board of Selectmen voted to aet up stamp purchasing arrangements here. Considered and investigated for some monttu, the plan provides for a much bet-ter food distribution than has here-tofore been possible. It Is asserted by Town Charity Superintendent George H. Waddell.

Preaedt Arraagetneat Under the present arrangement,

persona needing direct relief are given "food orders," which are In fact dole sllpa, drawn against the town. These are honored at cer-

I tain Stores doing business with the town charity department. In ad-dition to this out-right cash food order, a person.on relief may show up at the Federal commodity dia-

a 85 bill, for |5 worth of genetal purchase stamps. With these atampa, you can go Into any par-ticipating grocery or market and get exactly the same merchandise that anyone else buys, and for the aame prices. You can-choose anything you want. In abort, the 85 worth of., general stamps are the same as cash.

Gives 82J10 ExtraBut at the bank, when you hu|

this 85 worth of general pur stamps, you are given half much again, or 82.50 wpith, surplus commodity stamps. ITie like the other g^de of stamps,/dan be used in any participating Xtore, but they can be used Only to buy Items which that month rave been listed by the federal goydniment as "turplus."

The government/doesn’t "send in” any goods ^^ the local atorea under the new plan. But each month, after surveying the market, it lists certMh g o ^ as surplus. For instance, this month It might be found there are surpluses of butter, eggs and apples, , in the na-tion. Theto items would be listed, and you could get them with }rour surplus commodity stamps.

A. Big Advantage

salesman will prove a great asset to Mr. Roy. The addition will allow Mr. Roy to devote more of Ms time to other departments of his business.

-The chief drawback to this plan is the fact that each person receiv-ing surplus goods has to take a certain ration of all items being given out, and may not choose extra amounts of what he needs.

For instance, if eggs, beans and pork are being given out a certain week, the person receiving com-modities gets a certain measure of each of the three items, even if his

The net benefit to the consumer Is that for 85 he gets 87.50 worth of food—tobacco and other non-foods can’t to bought with stampa <—and can get the aorta of goods he wants.

For the merchant, the benefit comes from the fact that his cus- tomera increase. The merchant par. ticlpating In the plan keeps his ptampa, takes them to the bank and redeems them for cash.
