THE TAMPA TRIBUNE, Thursday, February 3, 1983 15-B Gilder said his resignation was not "showboating." Gilder angrily protests 'dehumanizing' giveaway Tampa NAACP president Bob Gilder was not the only member the board of the Community Action Agency to find fault with the cheese distribution. By SHERRY HOWARD Tribune Staff Writer Following a speech in which he condemned the distribution of free cheese and butter to the poor last week, Tampa NAACP president Bob Gilder resigned from the board of the county's Community Action Agency. Gilder whose criticisms were echoed by other members told the board that he called two Hillsborough County commissioners last Friday to complain about the distribution at the Martin Luther King complex on Rome Avenue. "I called the commissioners because I saw poor people out there since 4:30 (a.m.) waiting for $12 worth of cheese," said Gilder. "I'm sure the dairy farmers who received money for that cheese and butter didn't have to stand in line and be dehumanized." Last Friday's distribution was the second in several months in which thousands of low-income people stood in lengthy lines to receive the free govern products supplied by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. There have been incidents of elderly persons fainting while waiting in line for hours for the cheese. Last December, several CAA board members griped about the November giveaway and a committee was appointed to develop better procedures for distributing the food. One of the committee's proposals which is expected to be used for a Feb. 24-25 giveaway in East Hillsborough County is to distribute the products from several locations.
When asked after the meeting why several sites were not chosen for last Friday's distribution, distribution Obituaries Hillsborough HENRY S. CASSELL, 67, of Tampa died Monday.

After prodding, he said the committee wanted to see if the single distribution center could be done smoothly. When he announced during the board meeting that the giveaway went smoothly, board chairman Ellis York attacked his statement, noting that elderly persons had to wait in long lines for the products. Several other board members also complained.
Said member George Davis, "I don't think it was planned well enough to avoid those pitfalls. There has to be a better way to do it." Gilder, who walked out of the meeting after he spoke, said later that he was not "showboating. "The time has come for us to realize that there are thousands and thousands of poor people that need some help desperately." Byrne told the board that the committee is considering such things as setting aside special days for certains groups of people, namely the handicapped, the elderly, the unemployed and those receiving public assistance. He said the distribution in East Hillsborough will be done at sites in Seffner, Plant City and Ruskin. He said volunteers have been signed up and storage and transportation have been worked out.
Byrne's committee is expected to return to the board in March with a full report. He said after the meeting that the committee is compiling a list of volunteers and organizations and will recommend that the volunteers be given training. Pat Gray Bean, director of the county's human services department, which oversees CAA, said the problems have arisen because the county does not have a permanent staff to coordinate the giveaway. She said the county's Department of Social Services, which distributes the cheese, must borrow staff and trucks from other departments to do the work. She said other counties have a staff, trucks and funds for storing the dairy products.
Bean added that officials with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office have said that they can provide deputies at only two or three sites at a time and would have problems manning additional sites.
