Family Cash Income
Must Be Low Before Approved; Total of 153 Are Listed
A total of 153 families have made application for the
surplus cotton and ticking which will be used in a mattress making project
being sponsored by the federal government for low income families, county farm
leaders, who have charge of the project, announced today.
One hundred and twenty applications were necessary before
the project could be set up on the county. Applications were accepted only from
those farm families with cash incomes of less than $400 annually.
The program, designed by the federal government to use up
the great supply of surplus cotton owned by the government, will get underway
in the county as soon as materials for which application has been made arrives.
An organization will be set up distributing the materials
and supervising the construction of the mattresses, all of which will be done
at centers to be designated later. The farm extension department will be
responsible for supervision of instruction.
Actual construction of the mattress making will be done by
the members of the families themselves at the centers under the instruction of
NYA workers who will be trained for the jobs.
