I’d also like to add: scraps of fabric for the ladies’ toilet needs. TP would be precious and should only be used for #2. Homemade napkins would be most welcome.<<<
Interesting link, thanks.
And you are correct, as we have several fathers on this thread, with young daughters and granddaughters.
Or as my dad said to me on that day, “you know that old sheet in the closet, tear off some of that and use it and hurry, we have to get these tractors in the field and to work”.
We were sharecropping in Texas that year.
Old soft cotton sheets make good pads or baby diapers.
They also work to polish eyeglasses, with out scratching the lens.
I once had a friend who was sensitive the the material they make the napkins from. She used the old unmatched cotton socks and kept them washed with her child's diapers.
