DECEMBER BUSY MONTH FOR LUCKY CLOVER 4-HERS
During the month of December the Lucky Glover 4-H
Club was very busy. On December 7 the club met at the home
of our leader, Winky MacAllaster. At this meeting the new
officers took over; Carol Heflin, president; Pat Darnell, vice
president; Rosemary Dunn, secretary; Madelyn Belle Isle,
treasurer; and Cathie Cowan, reporter.
On December 14 the club had its second meeting of the
month, at which each member made herself a Christmas cor
sage. The corsages, made from sprayed pine cones, sweet
gum ball, and ribbon, were a great success and received many
compliments.
The activities of the month were highlighted by an ice
skating party on December 26. The whole group thoroughly
enjoyed themselves and agreed the party was wonderful.

Wise Buymanship
For White Sales
By ADRIAN S. BOWERS, Home Demonstration Agent
January is the month for
“white sales” and a very good
time to check on the household
linen supply and make additions
where needed. The following tips
should give you some ideas on
how to get the best buy from the
white sales.
Size is an important question.
What size sheets should you
buy? The big news of late in
linens is the wide range in sizes.
Every bed can have that custom
fit if you use your tape measure
before you begin your shopping
trip. Remember, size before
hemming is given on the label.
So, take the mattress length, add
six inches for possible shrinkage,
ten inches for tucking and turn
ing back over blankets and six
inches for hems. Thus a stand
ard length 76" mattress should
have a 108" flat sheet.
For fitted sheets the bottom
sheet must fit exactly or it may
wrinkle or draw. Top fitted
sheets are made for standard
size twin and double mattresses.
Four sizes of fitted sheets are
available for double beds: (1)
The double fitted for 54" x 74"
to 76"; (2) The extra long double
fitted for 54" x 80”; (3) The
foam double fitted to fit mat
tresses only 41,"” thick: and (4)
The double fitted for extra firm
mattresses. The queen-size mat
tress is 60" x 80” and requires
sheets sheets labeled “Queen
and the Forestry Service are
both cooperating with the Post
Office Department and the
Range Management Society in
promoting the stamp.
Although this stamp will be of
most interest to people in the
range country, stamp collectors,
conservationist, clubs, business
and professional people will be
interested in its meaning. Why,
these people together with young
students studying American his
tory will realize the important
part the west has accomplished
in production of beef cattle and
sheep for food, leather for shoes,
and wool for clothing.

Fitted”. King sizes are 72” or
50 = 86"
Type of material is another
important consideration. Per
cales are woven of finer yarns
and have a softer texture than
muslin. Percale thread count
(number of threads per square
inch of material) is 180 plus with
finer sheets made of combed
yarn. Percales generally cost
more than muslin and are easier
to launder. Muslin sheets are
durable, sturdy (140 thread
count) and long lasting. They
are not so fine textured as pe_
cale but will last longer.
In determining the number of
sheets needed, allow six sheet.
per bed—two in use, two in the
laundry and two on the shelt
Rotate for longer wear.
When is a bargain reasy a
bargain? To be sure about prices
check brand names on labes,
not just the sign above tne
table. Watch for “seconds” or
“irregulars” and check these to
determine the type of flaw be
fore buying. Compare bargain
prices to those of linens in regu
lar stock.
Keep these prices in mind,
then take advantage of the bar
gains to your heart’s content!
Happy shopping!
