She is fond of animals, too,
and has a purebred Dachshund
puppy, an adult Weimaraner-Lab
crossbred dog, and a part Siamese
cat.
From the many lovely things
she creates, Virginia has chosen to
give her directions for making
note paper. This is timely, as
Christmas cards or notes can be
fashioned by this method.
PARCHMENT STATIONERY
You will need parchment type
paper in pastel tones, "Summer
Snowflake" pattern or that with a
bark effect. It should measure 5
7 and 7/8
g envelopes.
Also required will be a piece of
plywood larger than the
stationery. Draw on this board a
rectangle measuring.5 and 15/16
inches by 7 and 15/16 inches.
You will also need a supply of
dried materials such as leaves with
interesting shapes and colors (lace
leaf maple, Japanese maple, and
blueberry leaves are especially
good), Hydrangea florets, pampas
grass, maple seed, blossoms and
petals, bits of evergreen, and
portions of roadside and
woodland weeds. These materials
can be readied for use in several
days by pressing between sheets
of wax paper in a large book or
under a weight. You will need
CLEAR wax paper (the opaque
variety will not do); Scotties
tissues (no other brand will give
the desired effect); Elmer's glue; a
metal edged ruler; and a pastry
brush.
Place on the board a sheet of
wax paper. Mix 2 parts of Elmer's
Glue with 1 part of water, and
with pastry brush spread a light
coat of this mixture over the wax
paper. Make design by placing in
the glue an arrangement of dried
materials, bearing in mind that
the sheet will be folded and
centering design on the front
portion using lines on board as a
guide. A small related design may
appear on the back if desired.
Place a single ply sheet of
Scotties tissue over dried
materials. With brush dab tissue
onto wax paper so that all
bubbles are eliminated. Set aside
to dry over night. When
thoroughly dry, iron sheets on the
wax paper side with a warm iron,
making sure that the iron is not
too warm. Place sheets on board,
and using the guide lines drawn
there, tear to size with a metal
edged ruler. The tearing in this
manner gives a parchment effect
that cannot be obtained by
cutting with scissors. Fold to card
hape, and fold sheet of
stationery to fit inside. To make
Christmas cards or note paper, a
sprig of cedar can be placed to
resemble a Christmas tree; sequins
and glitter may be added.

nationwide publication is limited
to select individuals from over
1000 schools and colleges in the
United States.
Miss Charleen Smith and Mrs

as Outstanding Young women of
America for 1969, and will appear
in the annual biographical
compilation, Outstanding Young
Women of America.
They have been honored for
their outstanding achievements in
community service, in religious
and political activities, and in
professional endeavors.
Outstanding Young Women of
America is a program designed to
recognize the abilities of young
women between the ages of 21
and 35 throughout the country.
This annual program
recognizes those young women
who unselfishly contribute to the
betterment of their communities,
professions, and country. Serving
on the program's Board of
Advisors are the National
Presidents of women's clubs,
headed by Mrs. Dexter Otis
Arnold, Honorary President of
the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Each year over 5,000 young
women are nominated as
Outstanding Young Women of
America by leading women's
organizations and college alumnae
associations across the country.
These young women's complete
biographical sketches are featured
in the annual compilation,
Outstanding Young Women of
America.
From among the young
women included in Outstanding
Young Women of America, fifty
are selected each year -- one from
each state - for their state's
Outstanding Young Woman of the
Year Award.
Katharine Elkus White,
former U. S. Ambassador to
Denmark, said of the women
honored in lhe 1968edition,"You
should be complimented upon
your achievements, because you
must constantly strive to reach
your goals, and along the way you
are forced to overcome many
obstacles. You have not lost the
pioneer spirit, the urge to succeed
that forged our country, and
made our Nation a World
Leader."
Outstanding Young Women of
America was conceived by the
leaders of the nation's women's
clubs. They felt that young
women who give their time for
community projects should be
recognized. The recognition of
these outstanding young women
can serve to inspire others to give
their time to additional civic
responsibilities.
Guidelines for selection
include unselfish service to others,
charitable activities, community
service, professional excellence,
business advancement and civic
and professional recognition.
