Art
We have been making chalk pic
lures. We made pictures about
spring. We lightly covered the
whole paper with chalk. We used
the side of our chalk. Then we
made an Easter picture. During the
last period we used chalk and we
drew anything we wanted.

At our last art period we took
chips of crayons and put one piece
of wax paper on top of the crayon
and put one on the bottom. Next
we ironed over the top of the paper
and melted the wax and crayon
together. When we got back to
class we made stained glass win
dows. We put the stained glass
windows on the windows in the
room. Then we could see through
them. They looked very pretty. We
took them home at Easter time.

Trees Of Tomorrow
The forest rangers are ready to
put out forest fires fast. The rang
ers start back fires to keep the
fire from spreading. When a fire
has destroyed forest. men go
around planting new forests. 1t
usually takes twenty or twenty
five years to grow a good tree.
Trees can get diseases like birds
and animals. When trees get dis
eases, men cut them down and
plant new trees in their places.

From Trees to Paper
Paper is made from pine trees.
First men come around and mark
the trees that are big enough.
The men use axes or paint TO mark
the trees. The men chop the trees
that have been marked. Then they
are taken to the factory. The first
thing they do with the log is to
cut off the bark with water press
ure. When the bark is off the log
rolls through a machine and is cut
into thousands of little pieces. Then
it is cooked in chemicals and hot
water. 1t is put into a roller. The
water is squeezed out and 1t is
rolled into paper Samples are TAX
en- to the laboratory and checked.
If it is all right. it is ready to be
sold. Robert Portz
Animals in the Spring
In the spring, animals wake up
from their long winters sleep. The
mud turtle slowly swims to the
top of the pond where he had slept
the winter away. The birds fly
back to their summer homes where
groundhogs come up from h e r
winter homes and get some food for
their hungry babies. A new life
has started again.

The Mourning Dove
The mourning dove has a sad
cry. When they give their cry their
chest goes out.
Their nests are not as strong as
other birds nests. The morning
doves nest is made of sticks. The
male carries the sticks and the fe-
male puts them in place.
The mourning dove lays two eggs
at a time. They have about three
or four families a year.
The blue jay is an enemy of the
mourning dove. The black snake
is an enemy. too. When the blue
jay has broken the egg, ants come
and eat the inside.
When the eggs hatch, the babies
are very hungry. The male or fe-
male will feed them pigeon milk
They make this by drinking plenty
of fresh clean water and eating
plenty of food
The wind and rain may blow
baby mourning doves out of their
nests. Some birds fly to the South
when winter comes. Some mourn
ing doves stay here. But only the
ones that are strong stay alive dur
ing the hard winter
