an area has increased more than
the level of participation in the
Food Stamp program, it is likely
that the incidence of hunger has
also increased
The most recent information
made available through the
Census Bureau indicates that the
national poverty level increased
from 11.7 per cent in 1979 to 14 4
per cent by 1984 During this
same period, the number of
Americans receiving assistance
through the Food Stamp
program increased by 16 per
cent from 19.371.107 persons in
1979 to 19.673.239 persons by 1984
The percentage of Americans
who received food stamps in 1979
was 8 4 per cent compared to 8 3
per cent by 1984
In Gaines County. the
percentage of residents with
incomes below the poverty level
declined from 213 per cent in
1979 to 18 5 per cent in 1984 The
number of residents of Gaines
County receiving assistance
through the Food Stamp
program declined from 961 in
1979 to 853 by 1984 The
percentage of the population of
Games County who had received
food stamps in 1979. was 7 3 per
cent compared to 6 U per cent in
1984
The level of individual food
stamp assistance increased from
1979 through 1984 In 1979, the
average monthly value of food
stamps provided per individual
was $32 71 By 1984. the average
monthly value of food stamps
provided per individual had
increased to $44 74
Nationally, the level of
individual food stamp assistance
increased by 36 8 per cent over
the period In Games < ounty the
average monthly value of food
stamps provided per individual
increased from $29 81 in 1979 to
$41 14 by 1984 or by :18 per cent
Since the national poverty
level has increased more than
the level of food stamp
participation, it is entirely
possible that the incidence of
hunger in The liniled Stales .had
increased since 1979 This would
not appear to be the case in
Gaines County.
However, an increase in the
incidence of hunger cannot be
directly attributed to reductions
in spending for federal programs
designed to reduce or eliminate
hunger As noted, expenditures
for these programs have
increased substantially over the
period
Additionally. since the
legislation providing for most
federal nutrition assistance
programs, including the Food
Stamp program, is based upon
income » means) qualifications,
those individuals who qualify for
assistance through these
programs are automatically
entitled to such assistance If the
funds budgeted for these
programs are insufficient, the
Congress has always provided
additional funding for the
programs
The incidence of hunger in the
United States and Gaines County
may have increased from 11779
through 1984 At the same time, it
appears that a substantial
number of those individuals
legally entitled to assistance
through federal nutrition
programs are not currently
accepting such assistance

Pardon m> teacher bias here, but
have you ever seen a teacher, a real
dedicated educator, approach a
school-related assignment in any

Anyway, we began, slightly
intimidated by the proctor's story of
some previous educators taking all
day to complete the test, including
the guy who showed up early m the
afternoon and didn t walk out of the
empty high school until almost
midnight
The key to using what I had gained
from .hours of studying and passing
the exam was to block out
everything, including the proctor's
stories, and think about what the
questions said
