<br />read:
<br />
<br /> "We~ the members of the Southside Improvement League, request of the City Council permission
<br />for a member of our organization, ~{rs. Gloria Wilson, to speak in the behalf of the FOOD ST~vtP PROGRA~,
<br />at the Cotm~il meeting, Tuesday, February 27th.
<br /> A petition of fifteen hundred names has been presented to City Council. This is a city-wide
<br />effort and we are hoping that Portsmouth will live up to its' name of "Progressive .Portsmouth."
<br /> We feel that this program will benefit this city in its' application for the Hodel City Program.
<br /> We are hoping you will give this matter your deepest consideration."
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Barnes to suspend the rules to hear Hrs. Gloria Wilson, was adopted.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Wilson presented the following:
<br />
<br /> "Gentlemen of the Council and especially you the honorable Mayor Smith, I would like to thank
<br />you and commend you for your remarks appearing Thursday, February 22 in the Virginia Pilot, concerning
<br />Food Stamps. We see you realize our ~light and are sympathetic with our need for the food stamp
<br />program,
<br /> Also, I would like to comment on some of the points brought out in the ne%¢spaper concerning
<br />food stamps. I think newspaper articles have shown that programs designed to help the ooor
<br />actually help the entire community. You will please notice that if more money is spen~ for
<br />food it means Zhat the food merchants will receive more money. Another point brought out
<br />shows that the:food stamp program is a sound, practical program and I would like to quote
<br />Virginia P~lot February 22, "Norfolk and Chesapeake officials concerned With administering the
<br />Food Stamp Program in those cities are enthusiastic about it."
<br /> We are not trying to badger yeu. We are trying to bring out tke facts of the involvement
<br />in a poor persons budge~.
<br /> How do you think people feel - making sixty dollars ($60) a week, before taxes - when they
<br />try to make groceries.
