Government food stamps benefits that now help feed one out of 14 Americans were increased last week to help needy families cope with rising grocery prices. The most dramatic change in food stamp laws--one that already has been taking place in other states--is the way stamp allocations are granted to lowincome recipients. Changes will also cut some 1 million persons from the food stamp roll this year, while providing benefits to an additional 3 million poorer
persons.
Most Americans receiving food stamps, some IS'A million recipients as of October, 1978, will continue to be governed by old regualtions requirjng recipients to purchase the stamps at a small cost. Since 1964, when Congress made the food stajnp program a
permanent federal fixture, recipients have had to spend some of their own money on stamps to get additional free coupons that can be used like money at retail grocery stores. Now, instead of having to purchase stamps with their own money, qualified families will get bonus coupons free of charge, depending on size of household, income and neces-
sity factors.
USDA (United States De partment of Agriculture) officials estimate that the new laws for the program will include simpler rules for computing income requirements and the new methods of distributing bonus stamps will funnel benefits more carefully to the poorest families and cut off some near the top of the low-income scale.
Hooks Drugs has new counting machines at 11 area stores
The Computer Age definitely has arrived! And the latest innovation to hit town is a machine that actually counts pills and tablets by computer. Such an efficient piece of equipment recently has been installed at 11 Hook’s Indiana polis Drug Stores. These inlcude the firm’s stores at Marwood Shopping Center (3341 Kentucky Ave.); 39th & Illinois Streets; Fountain Square (1017 East Morris St.l; Speedway Shopping Center (4730 Crawfordsville Rd.); Chapel Hill (7324 West 10th St.); and Keystone Court (2240 East 53rd St.). Also Hook's five 24-hour stores have been equipped with this unique equipment. They are located at Rockhurst (27 N. Lynhurst); 20th and Arlington Sts.; 18th & Illinois Sts.; Southport (6908 Madison Ave.) and Greenbriar (1315 West Wth St.). This equipment has been previously installed at their 1825 Albany Street loca tion in Beech Grove. Don't fret, though, the phar macist will not replaced. He now w ill just have a little more time to consult with customers and operate the store. Most important, prescription service will be more efficient.

Hook Drugs, Inc. began installing the Baker Automated Prescription System in its “busiest" stores on a trial basis several months ago. They were the first chain in Indiana to use them. The local Hook’s stores consistently rank among the 75 highest in the chain of 236 stores in total volume of
prescriptions.
The machine is usable for solid dosage forms only- no liquids. But it is estimated that approximately one out of three prescriptions may now be filled by the counters. The Baker counter provides a fully automatic method of filling the prescriptions with a minimum effort for the pharmacist. They are counted electronically and completely accurate while the pharmacist is free for the professional aspects of his job. Here’s how it works: The most frequently used medi cations are stored in individual cells in which they are counted. The normal and time consum ing manual steps such as taking a bottle from the shelf, pouring out the drug, counting, return ing the excess to the bottle and replacing it on the shelf, are all
eliminated.
The pharmacist sets a quan tity from one to 999 on a master control panel, then pushes a button for the cell containing the desired drug. Seconds later, the counted tablets or capsules are in their drop out chute, ready to be released into
a prescription vial.
All types of tablets and capsules can be counted at a rate of 600 per minute. There is no possibility of cross cpntami nation. If one of the cells becomes inoperative, it can be singly returned for repair to the manufacturer in Pineville, Louisiana, with another substi-
tute cell inserted.
The Automated Prescription Systems are not sold by the manufacturer, rather they are leased on an annual basis.

Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland predicted in a year •end interview, the changes will have a great affect in reducing fraud and error in the program. Under the 1979 new rules, the maximum income that a four-member family can have to qualify for food stamps is $542 a month, or $6,540 a year. The old program (still used in some regional operations) allows four-member families to have net incomes up to $640 a month, or $7,680 a year. The new regulations will do away with the dual standard and put everyone on the same footings based on income--regardless of sources--and on assets, family size and other
guidelines.
The old rules uses a dual standard to determine who is qualified for food stamps. One is that persons getting welfare are automatically eligible. Another involves low income people who are not on welfare but who may be eligible if their incomes are low enough. Currently, 48. percent of those receiving food stamps are on welfare. Eight states and Puerto Rico as of»1978 were using the new
system of issuing stamps with out requiring families to purchase them first. The states are Alaska, Florida, Minnesota. New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas and Tennessee. Federal costs of the food stamp program totaled about
$5.5 billion in the fiscal year which ended September of 1978. The cost has been tentatively estimated for this fiscal year around $6.1 billion. One factor in the rising costs is that food stamp allocations are adjusted twice a year to offset increases in grocery prices. Because of this feature, to continue under the new rules, a family of four will have its monthly food stamp allocations increased 5.2 percent - effective January 1 under the old system and slightly less under new regulations. Here is how allocation will work in states using the new
system;
A new method of computing net incomes will be used to determine eligibility. Instead of more than a dozen items now being used, it will allow only a limited amout of child care and high shelter costs to be deduct ed from gross income, along with a standard $60 deduction for all families and a special deduction for workers. The maximum in monthly, food stamps that a family can get if it has no income is $191. This is $1 less than the old program because of a change in rounding off the cost of a thrifty food plan used by (USDA) to compute allocations. If a family of four has an adjusted net income of $250 a month after using its deduc tions, it will get free stamps worth $116 a month without spending anyting. -
