Mattress Workshop To
Be Held April 11-12
A two-day Mattress Making
Workshop will be held April
11 and 12 in the Home Eco
nomics Extension Office In the
Agricultural Building, Mrs.
Bertha B. Forte, home eco
nomics extension agent, an
nounced yesterday. She said
the public la Invited to come in
on April 12, during the hours
from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.,
and observe the mattress
making project.
Mrs. Forte said that Mrs.
Genevieve Greenloe, exten
sion house furnishing spec
ialist, is expected to be pre
sent at the workshop.
More than two years ago,
a mattress program was
launched In a North Carolina
pilot county for low-Income
families to make cotton mat
tresses. Mrs. Forte said that
because of the cost at cotton
and the work Involved in mak
ing mattresses, Mrs. Oreec
loe decided to Investigate the
possibility of using a product
that would be cheaper and
easier to work with. After
many conferences and visits
to manufacturing companies,
It was found that a 4 or 6 Inch
thick slab of urethane foam
could be used successfully as
the filling for making a com
fortable bed mattress.
Mrs. Forte said the ure
thane foam can be purchas
ed at a cost that will fit Into
the budget of the average low
In oome family. Many tests,
she said, have been made and
It has been found that ur ethane
foam Is easier to use for mak
ing low-cost quality mattress
es. With this In mind, a foam
mattress program was
launched In 10M to help raise
the stndard of living and Im
prove the Heaping conditions
In the home of low-income
families.
Powell Asks For Road Paving
Building Bids For Biology
Farm To Be Let April 15
Bids for the construction of
the first building on the bio
logical farm being established
near Warrenton by Carolina
Biological Supply Company
will be opened on April 15,
with work expected to begin
shortly thereafter.
This was revealed Monday
when Dr. T. E. Powell, owner
of the company, appeared be
fore the county commission
ers to request that a road
through his property be hard
surfaced. Appearing with Dr.
Powell were L. H. Wiseman
and Dr. K. W. Perkins, who
will be In charge of genetics
at the local complex.
Dr. Powell said the pro
posed building would be
located near the old Powell
homeplace and would contain
offices, laboratories, rooms
and recreational facilities.
Dr. Powell told the com
missioners that he had con
structed an 1830 foot road
leading from a point near the
old home of his father on the
Airport road to a point on the
Macon road, and that the pur
pose of his visit was to request
the commissioners to do what
ever they could to have this
road hardsurfaced.
He said that the road being
constructed will be 100 feet
wide, which will provide for
a road with a standard 60
foot right of way. This 100
feet will be enclosed by atlght
wire fence with a strand of
barbed wire on top. The 20
foot border on each side will
be planted to grass and dif
ferent species of trees would
be planted at 20-foot intervals.
When the plantings are com
pleted, he said, the border
will contain more different
species of trees than are found
In the arboretum at the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
Dr. Powell told the com
missioners that he realized
that the farm Is a private en
terprise, but pointed out that
it would have much public use.
He said, for instance, that
science classes from all the
county schools would visit the
laboratories, and that the farm
would be visited by scientists
and educators from all over
the world. "We would like to
have it as pretty as we pos
sibly can," he said.
"Now we are here to request
your cooperation," Dr. Powell
said. "If you find that you can
