Storing Blankets
Dear Aunt Daisy, In your broadcast the other morning you were talking of storing blankets. My advice is to wrap them in several thicknesses of newspaper. I have never known moths or silverfish to eat through to woollies wrapped in this way.
Jean of Birkenhead
Thank you, Jean. I am sure you are right. The lady in question had wrapped them in a bedspread with cakes of camphot, which is really not enough precaution, Your way is excellent-although a good sprinkling of moth crystals in among the blankets, and in the parcel generally, will make assurance doubly * sure. But moths and silverfish do NOT like printers’ ink.
