Food Stamp Plan to be Effective in Orange County After Tomorrow All Anaheim food merchants are expected to experience an increase in revenue following the placing into operation today (Thursday) of the federal food stamp plan. Just how much this addition revenue will be in Anaheim stores has not been estimated, but the surplus marketing administration of the United States department of agriculture has stated that annual benefits throughout the county will approximate $347,000. The plan is being placed in operation today in Imperial, Riverside, San Diego and San Bernardino counties as well as Orange county. Anaheim families who are eligible to participate in the plan free blue stamps, are issued to participants in amounts corresponding to the former food purchases of the participating family. The orange stamps can be used to purchase any food taken home for human consumption. PURCHASE BY MAIL Anaheim residents will purchase the food stamps by mail from the stamp issuing office located at 310 Bush St., Santa Ana. This is done by filling out the application for purchase of stamps which has been received by each eligible family, and mailing it, together with a postal money order or cashiers check, to the Santa Ana office.

The plan is being placed in operation today in Imperial, Riverside, San Diego and San Bernardino counties as well as Orange county. Anaheim families who are eligible to participate in the plan have received notification from official sources. To them, the food stamp plan means more food and better health through ability to obtain at no cost food commodities listed as surplus in Orange county in an amount equal to 50 per cent of their regular food purchases. ENDS OLD METHOD The plan also eliminates the form method of distribution of surplus food through commodity depots. Persons taking part in the plan use food stamps to purchase food from local merchants in the same manner as cash customers. Food stamps, which can be used only for food, are issued in two colors, orange and blue. Each stamp is worth 25 cents in participating food stores. They cannot be used to pay a back bill or to purchase liquor, tobacco, household articles, or food consumed on store premises. Blue stamps are given free by the federal government to buyers of orange stamps, and are used to purchase any food item declared by the departments of agriculture to be in surplus. All participating food merchants will display current lists of these surplus commodities. Orange stamps, which must be purchased in order to obtain the human consumption. PURCHASE BY MAIL Anaheim residents will purchase the food stamps by mail from the stamp issuing office located at 310 Bush St., Santa Ana. This is done by filling out the application for purchase of stamps which has been received by each eligible family, and mailing it, together with a postal money order or cashiers check, to the Santa Ana office. The amount of stamps which may be purchased depends upon size of the family. The office will be staffed by WPA personnel. Persons eligible are anyone who is certified as eligible for old age assistance, aid to dependent children, or aid to the blind; a certified worker on a WPA project; receiving assistance from the state relief administration or the county welfare department, or an agricultural worker certified by the farm security administration. The persons are not required to purchase the stamps, but it is believed that most of them will. The primary purpose of the food stamp plan is to move farm surpluses. It is not a substitute for state or local relief. Therefore, free blue stamps are issued in addition to, and not in place of, former food purchases. The stamps are issued in book form and must not be removed from the book except by the merchant at the time the sale is made. Persons using the stamps get exactly the same quality of food as those who pay cash, and at the same price. No change will be issued in cash; merchants must issue an orange or blue stamp credit slip for the difference between the amount of food stamps and the purchase price.
