The old saying, that every

but no one does anything
about it" doesn't hold true for
St. Croix. Here we send for
the water truck when our els
terms go dry.
This year the water trucks
have been burning up the
roads to make up for the
drought. We are not a bit
proud Of this drought, but it
seems very likely to set a new
record for our island.
The Official" rainfall re-
cords for st. Croix are the
average of the figures for
Christansted, Kingshill and
Frederiksted.
Such records are in exist
ence from 1852, or for more
than 100 years. The driest
year of record was 1873, when
the rainfall was 29.47 inches.
Up to October l, 1873, slightly
more than 81 inches had al
ready fallen. This year up to
October l, the average rainfall
for Christiansted, Frederik-
sted and Kingshill was only
1915 inches.

WEE WOMEN

most always caution: 1t is done
with scissors. paste and pa
thence! It does require patience
in large measure. but good re-
suits come quickly and 1t soon
becomes a fascinating hobby
sometimes q profitable one.
There are a few requisite
qualities-an eye for design, q
sense Of color. a feeling for
the eternal fitness Of things
which the craftsman must
have. or acquire as he works.
These are abilities latent in
most Of us which. all too often.
are never used. This hobby is
a fine way to bring them to
the surface.
l. Collect every beautifully
colored thing possible to use.
I find that bits of beautifully
colored papers work magic in
filling in between parts.
2. Work out a method Of
keeping cut-outs in perfect
condition. They tangle together
and wear on ones patience.
My method is using large
scrapbook-size sheets Of heavy
grade paper. one or more pages
for each classification leg.
birds, animals, flowers, but
terflies. etc.,. Cut out things as
you collect them and in cut
ting, leave a few tabs around
the cut-out by which you may
paste it to the page on which
it will be kept until used. After
I cut and mount (by their
tabs) on these keeping"
sheets, I store in a large nat
box.
Don't try to design and cut
all at one working-it's too
firing. When you have a GOOD
size quantity Of cut-outs, and
a designing job to do. these
sheets can be spread out
before you and will greatly
aid you in finding Just the
right thing for each SPOT in
your design, eliminating too
much handling of the ma
terial. Being able to see,
quickly. all you have to use
will work magic in the results.
3. use a cream-like white
paste. soluble in water. It
must be thinned quite a bit for
this kind of work. Sticky
fingers are no problem be-
cause it will roll OF when
fingers are rubbed together. Il
get mine from q printing COM
panyO
4. What to decorate? Floor
screens. fireplace fans. table
tops. trays. wall plaques, etc.
These and dozens of other
things can be made intri-
guingly lovely.
