CHAMBERS

Wallpaper seems like an unusual
material for Valentine card fold
ers, but Mrs. Rachael Davidson's S
fifth graders are doing many
things with it. Small flowered de-
signs are best if you want to color
in each small petal and leaf; but
if you want to paint over the whole
thing and draw your own decora-
tions, the original design doesn't
matter. The design in your head
and your fingers does.
Then if the wallpaper seems too
limp for a first-rate booklet, you
can back it with paper lining and
glued edge, and put your Valen-
tine poem to your mother (origin-
al, of course) inside that. 1t is
best, too, if your poem comes out
an even four or eight lines, and
if you have tapped out the rhythm
Of it including time for pauses)
so that younr feeling for your
mother works out even with the
taps. But the best fun of all is
giving it.
Other Valentines are being made
by Mrs. Mabel Neiss, fifth grad
ers for the Junior Red Cross.
These are two hearts back to
back. with a small candy box in
between to be used for favors. The
candy box is cut out Of paper in
a certain size, to fit a certain
shape when it is pasted on the
hearts.
Mrs. Neiss' class has made most
of these heart-boxes already; all
they need is the candy to go in
them. But that, alas, is not a part
of the work being done on them.
