USDA recovers
food stamp funds
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture USDA announc
ed that nearly $4 million in
undeposited food stamp funds
have been recovered and said
all unaccounted for funds
would be recovered or the
states billed for any shortages
bv June 30.
The Department also said it "
will institute a new system by
mid-year' that will enable it
and the states to more rapidly
identify possible fund short
ages or late deposit problems.
The Department began a
nationwide audit of the food
stamp program last October
when it discovered irregulari
ties at one of the 14.254 food
stamp issuance agents outlets
around ' the country. These
iiaents. who sell food stamps
to people who qualify for the
program are selected by the
states. They fall into four
general categories: (It post
offices (2 1 government offi
ces, usually county welfare
offices 3) banks, and (4)
other places, primarily credit
unions, private businesses and
so-called check cashing cen
ters, which are often control
led by banks. As these agents
take in money on food stamp
purchases (the "purchase"
requirement that program
participants must pay i. they
are required by regulations to
send this money to a federal
reserve bank whenever 1
thev accumulate $1,000. 2 on
a weekly basis, or (3 in any
case, to clear their books by
the end of each month.
A special task force of
auditors began checking the
records of the agents except
for the 2.115 post office centers
which are reviewed periodi
cally by postal auditors. The
task force quickly established
that the records of more than
10.000 of the agents were in
apparent order. It also found
that about 1.300 of the agents
apparently were not following
proper deposit requirements.
About 1.000 of these, however,
were minor instances of not
depositing small amounts of
funds for a week or more. The
agents usually had the funds
in separate food stamp ac
counts. Administrative action
is being taken to get these
agents in compliance with the
program provisions.

Oregon Lung submits budget
The Eastern Region Council
of the Oregon Lung Associa
tion, composed of nine coun
ties, recently submitted a
proposed 1978-77 budget of
$36,833 to the State OLA
Program and Budget Com
mittee for ratification and
incorporation into the overall
state OLA budget.
Representing Morrow Cou
nty on the Eastern Council are
Justine Weatherford, Heppner
and Delpha Jones, Lexington.
Delpha Jones is also a repre
sentative director for the
Eastern Region Council to the
State Board of Directors. She
will represent the Eastern
Region Council with Franklin
W. Patterson, Baker at the
next OLA Annual meeting in
Portland at the Sheraton
Hotel, April 29-30.
Morrow County residents
benefit each year from the
health educational efforts of
the Lung Association funded
by the Annual Christmas Seal
Campaign. As of Feb. 27, a
total of $447,330.59 had been
receied statewide through the
generosity of Oregon contri
butors to the 1975-76 Christ
mas Seal Campaign which
ends officially March 31.
The Christmas Seal Breath
mobile provides free pulmo
nary function tests in Morrow
County annually and will be
giving the breathing tests
again this fall at a date later to .
be announced via the Heppner
Gazette-Times.
The Lung Association re
cently provided Pioneer Me
morial Hospital. Heppner the
use of a Video-Cassette play
back unit and along with
COM ED (Council of Medical
Education and Development
provided various medical ed
ucation cassettes requested by
medical personnel of the hos
pital. The Lung Association
purchased the Video playback
units for the eastern region a
year and one-half ago to offer
a valuable continuing educa
tion tool for medical personnel
particularly in rural settings
such as in eastern Oregon
where attending conferences
and seminars require exten
sive travel and time. The
people in the communities
benefit most by the medical
personnel's opportunity to
keep up with modern, ever
changing medical informa
tion. Video education will
continue on a year around
basis.
The Lung Association works
throughout the year to reach
school children at all grade
levels with literature on resp
iratory health and the effects
of cigarette smoking and air
pollution on ones health. The
Lung Association is constantly
answering requests from
school teachers and young
sters for health literature,
films, slides, posters, displays
and other teaching and learn
ing aids.
Some activities scheduled
for this year in addition to the
above mentioned include pro
grams dealing with nonstnok
ers rights. Youth Alert Pro
grams in Schools, Health
Fairs. County Fairs. Asthma
tic Christmas Seal Camp for
Children, Emphysema patient
Self-Help Programs, and a
Respiratory Care Symposium.
Although tuberculosis is no
longer the overwhelming
threat to ones survival it used
to be. a continued vigilance is
absolutely necessary to con
trol the tubercule bacilli, and
the Oregon Lung Association
is dedicated to promoting
professional education on TB
Modern Management princi
pals as TB patients are cared
for at home or In general
hospitals.
The Oregon Lung Associa
tion's Eastern Region thanks
all who gave to this year's
Christmas Seal Campaign and
welcomes suggestions from
all Morrow County residents
as to how OLA can better
serve the respiratory health
needs of the county.
