MATTRESS WORK NEEDS MACHINES - LACK OF SEWING EQUIPMENT IS HOLDING UP COUNTY NYA PROJECT
Lack of sewing machines for use in making mattress covers is delaying the Allamakee county mattress project. The preliminary instructions on mattress making were to be given in this county in the girls' NYA sewing room, where the mattress covers were to be made, according to Miss Minnie Opfer director of the girls’ NYA project here. Miss Opfer said she has hopes that sewing machines will be provided and believes they will be forthcoming eventually, as has all other equipment with which the girls work has ultimately been provided

The county board of supervisors, co-sponsors of the project, are aware of the shortage of sewing machines according to Miss Opfer. Meanwhile the yards and yards of mattress ticking and the huge bales of cotton received for the rural mattress making project remain untouched in storage here. Some of the mattress cover material is in the girls’ work room in the old county building formerly used as the sheriff’s residence and jail. The cotton bales are stored in Leschensky hall. Meanwhile the some 40 girls engaged in NYA work are busy with rag rug making. The city of Waukon is paying the rent, $15 per month for three months, for the hall where the bales of cotton are now stored.

BROOMSTICK DRESSES
Mrs. Gerald Baker and daughter received a gift that was "different" from Mrs. Bakers mother in California last week. They are "mother and daughter" broomstick dresses. The skirts of the dresses which are very full, are gathered tightly around the broomsticks, and tied in several places, giving the effect, when dry, of tiny accordion pleats. This makes quite a saving in time and effort, as Mrs. Baker says it would be almost impossible for the housewife to iron the hundreds of tiny pleats.
