FARM GROUP INSTRUCTED IN MATTRESS MAKING: Farm leaders from four counties found out what kind of mattresses can be made with the free materials available under the government's program to use surplus cotton when they met at Bethlehem Church hall here for a demonstration. Approximately 200 rural families of Washtenaw county have applied for cotton, and it is expected that mattress making at work centers will start in this county about March 1. Most farm families are eligible to participate in the program. Reading around the table from left to right in this photo, taken when the mattress was nearly complete, are: Earl Grub of Howell, chairman of the Livingston County Soil Conservation Association; Mrs. Henry Groeb of Pittsfield township; Mrs. Harold Bissell of Platt; Mrs. C. C. Poppenger of Webster township; Harry M. Cole, chairman of the Washtenaw County Soil Conservation Association; Mrs. Edward Wild of Lodi township; and Mrs. Albert Schweinfurth of Sylvan township.

WELL, IS IT GOOD? These members of Washtenaw county home economics extension groups had just completed the cooking of a dinner at Bethlehem Church hall yesterday when the photographer took their picture, and from the looks on their faces during the tasting process there was still some doubt about the success of the venture. They were attending a lesson meeting on "Different Dinners" in connection with their winter project. The farm women in the picture represent several sections of the county.
