State College Issues
New Bedding Pamphlet
Realizing that a clean, comfort
able bed is a great aid to restful
sleep, the State college extension
service has issued a pamphlet en
titled "The Clean . Comfortable
Bed." It is Extension Miscellaneous
Pamphlet No.' 44, and the publica
tion is available free upon request
by name and number to the Agri
cultural Editor, N. C. State col
lege, Raleigh.
Miss Pauline E. Gordon, exten
sion specialist in home manage
ment and house furnishings, and
Miss Mamie N. Whisnant, assis
tant specialist in the same field, j
prepared the pamphlet. I i
Care of mattreSkSes, pillows,
blankets, and comforts is stressed,!
and since these bedding materials ( j
are used for a long period of time,
it is recommended that they be j
kept clean by protectors that can
be laundered easily. Another point ;
emphasized is the size of the!
sheets. I
"Nothing is more unpleasant than '
bedding that is too short or too j '
narrow," Miss Gordon declares.-'
"Short sheets are uncomfortable j
since they do not protect the 1
blankets and mattress. Also, they
wear out more rapidly because the
sleeper is always jerking them.'
The publication recommends that
the bottom sheet be long enough
to allow for a good tuck-in at the
head and foot, so that the sheet
will be smooth. The top sheet
should allow for a good tuck-in t

C. D. Enloe Finds
48 Year-Old Egg
While re-roofing his home on
upper Cartoogechaye, C. D. Enloe
discovered a hen's egg, lying be
tween the roof joists, which he
calculates must be at least 48 years
old.
Since the house has withstood
the elements through the years
under the original roof until re
cently, Mr. Enloe says the only
possible way a hen could have
gotten up there to lay the egg was
while the house was being con
structed in 1892. Only the shell of
the egg remained, , the contents
having long since evaporated.
the foot and there should be about
18' inches to turn back over the
blankets to, keep them from com
ing in contact with the face, neck,
shoulders and arms. '
The sheet should be the length
of ' the mattress, plus twice the
thickness of the mattress (a total
of 10 inches), plus a six-inch tuck
in at the head and foot (a total
of 12 inches), plus 5 inches for
the hems and 5 inches for shrink
age. Thus a mattress 76 inches in
length would require a sheet 108
inches long.
