A cotton comforter program, as
a supplement to the cotton mat
tress program, has been started
in North Carolina, announces
Miss Ruth Current, State home
demonstration agent of N. C.
State College. Every family who
eligible to receive four pounds of
has received a cotton mattrses is
and in yards of percale with
which to make a comfort.
The program of distributing
surplus cotton to low income
families is sponsored by the State
College Extension Service, the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration, and the Surplus Mar
keting Administration of the U.
S. Department of AgricuKure.
Although the mattress program
did not start until mid-summer
of 1940 in most of the counties,
already .39,069 mattreaser have
been made in 83 counties, and a-
bout 46,000 more application.s are
on hand. Of these, some 24.000
have been approved and cotton
and ticking Is on hand In the
counties for making these mat-,
tresses.
“We feel that the comforter
program will be a great aid in
our program of helping low in
come rural families.’’ Miss Cur
rent declared. "We expect to
place 50-pound cotton mattresses
in 100,000 North Carolina farm
homes, and that means all of
these families can receive a com
fort, thereby 'sleeping not only
on a corner of the cotton .surplus,
but under a part of it .’’
The comforts will he made in
the mattress-making centers, and
competent supervisors will be on
hand to show the families how
to make the comforts, just as
they are now instructing in the
making of the mattresses. The
onlv charge for these materials
is a .small fee for the cost of
such materials as thread, need
les. and fuel to heat the centers.
This usually amounts to $1 per
mattress.
