Mattress program expands aid to Harper area families
In 1941 cotton program centers at Harper and nearby towns process one hundred mattresses. Eligible families receive two mattresses, or three for a five member group. Applications rejected on this basis are posted by the AAA. Local agents in Harper Stonewall Morris Ranch Willow City and at the AAA office handle sign ups. Each family earns ten yards of percale and four pounds of cotton for comforters per mattress. Comforters are made in community centers. Floyds visited Austin and Wilber Seiders.
