Food Issue
Is Slated
At Welfare
The problem of distributing sur
plus foods in Oregon counties
which has become something of a
political football recently, will be
considered by the Klamath Coun
ty Welfare Commission at its reg
ular meeting Friday morning.
Reuben Larson, chairman of the
Klamath County Welfare Com
mission, said the commission and
county court would explore the
problem Friday. Larson said the
surplus food issue is "consider
ably more complex than it ap
pears on the surface."
State Sen. E. D. Potts of Grants
Pass said Tuesday that Klamath
and Josephine counties are set
up and ready to use federal sur
plus foods whenever they are
available, bounty Judge R. R.
Bobl Walker qualified that
statement by saying yiat Klam
ath County would cooperute ii. the
program if some of the red tape
can be ironed out.
The county welfare commission
and county court turned the pro
gram down two years ago on the
grounds that it was too expensive
to administer. Commodities were
limited, had to be accepted in
carload lots, had to be repack
aged and transportation costs
were paid by tne counties.
Oregon is one of only eight
states not using federal surplus-
Jeanne Jcwctt, state public
welfare administrator, Tuesday
said the state is not participating
in the program because it is too
expensive to administer. A mem
ber of the stale commission, Mrs.
Lee Patterson, said the program
is not being carried out "because
the counties refuse , to administer
it."
Surplus foods are Issued to wel
fare recipients In addition to reg
ular food grants. Schools and
state institutions have first priori
tics on surpluses. Such foods are
presently being used by the coun
ty juvenile and nursing homes.

and appeared to be part Springer.
