Mary Barrow Anne Lewis Brenda MillsOn October 1, 1977, the Summer Food Program, an extension
of the School Lunch Program, was transferred from the United
States Departmeht of Agriculture to the Texas Department of
Human Resources. The program, still totally federally funded,
operates annually from May 15 to September 1 5 offering meals
to those children under 18 years who qualify to receive school
lunches. Under federal supervision in 1977, 98,000 children
participated throughout the state with 83 sponsors; $2 million
were spent last year in Texas for the program. Because of in-
creased outreach programs, the Department of Human
Resources projects that 150,000 children will participate in
the 1978 program at 1,200 sites through 150 sponsors; the
department anticipates a $3 million cost increase over last
year's expenditure. This projected increase still falls short of
;involving one million children estimated to be eligible in the
state. Rules governing this program appear in the Proposed
Rules section.
Recent legislation enacted by the 65th Legislature has
changed certain provisions relating to voting. How voting
registration procedures have been affected is the subject of a
directive by the Office of the Secretary of State to registrars of
voters, county clerks, county chairmen, and municipal clerks
and secretaries. Excerpts from this directive concerning the
new provisions, such as the list of cancelled voter registration
certificates and postage-free voter registration applications,
appears in the In Addition section. Also included in the section
is information by the secretary of state concerning voting ab-
sentee in an emergency situation.
