How to Make A
Christmas Scrapbook
Here’s a great idea for
salvaging those used or left
over Christmas gift wraps.
‘ You may use a regular 3-
ring loose-leaf notebook, or
cut cardboard to any size
you like, for the covers. If
you make your covers, you
can punch holes in them
later and put covers and in
side pages together with
left-over Christmas ribbons
(press them smooth first).
Cover notebook or card
board with gift-wrap paper.
You can press used or left
over Christmas wrap paper
smooth with an iron, set on
very low heat. Measure
notebook, taking the height
and width of front and back
covers. Add 1" overlap to all
four sides. Cut out of one
piece of paper, or two if you
use two pieces of cardboard.
Notch the corners. Using
rubber cement, or any
household glue, glue paper
to outside covers of note
book, centering between the
notched corners. Then glue
overlaps to inside of covers.
Measure exact dimensions
of inside covers. Cut out one
piece of gift wrap for each
(this could be a contrast
pattern) and cement into
place, covering overlaps.
Select a scene from a
Christmas card and glue to
the center of front cover.
Trim the edges, if you like,
with leftover ribbon, gold
braid, or tape.
For the inside pages, use
your imagination! Group
the Christmas cards you
want to save on the pages,
and glue them to paper
(construction paper would
be good for this). Put in
souvenirs of Christmas par
ties, and photos.
You’ll have a Christmas
Scrapbook to cherish and
remember!
SUPERSTITIONS
IN SOME PARTS OF THE
GLOBE PEOPLE BELIEVE
THAT A FULL SALT SHAK-
ER FORTELLS A GOOD
YEAR. India serves only new
foods at this date, as they
think the cooking of new rice
assures prosperity. Rice cakes
are used as New Year offer*
ings in Ceylon. The Chinese
refrain from rice and the Ger
mans refrain from dumplings,
these are considered taboo edi
bles on this date.
In our Southwestern states,
Texas, for instance, there was
a belief that good fortune
would come to those who ate
black-eyed peas on January 1st.
See what a delightful memory-album you can make
when vou create your own Christmas Scrapbook! See
directions in story and follow diagram, right.

How to Re-Use
Gift Boxes, Cans
Don’t be too quick to
throw out those good boxes
or cartons that hold your
family’s Christmas gifts —
you can make them into
handsome containers for
everything from hair roll
ers to sewing materials, not
forgetting the canisters and
cookie tins you can make
out of those plastic-lidded
coffee cans!
Cover your boxes and cof
fee cans with self-adhesive
elastic, decorate them with
Draid or tape, and label
;hem with cut-out letters.
It’s easy to do with self
stick plastic — just make
sure surface of box or tin is
clean and dry. Then cut
your plastic to fit, allowing
for an overlap at seams or
edges, and press it down
smoothly. Or you can use
fabric or gift paper, which
you’ll have to glue on.
It’s a great way to “re
cycle” your boxes and cans
— and you’ll have attractive
containers for all sorts of
things, in kitchen, bath
room, or at desk or phone.
You can make a pretty
pencil jug out of a juice can
. . . and never again have to
say, “Wait till I find a pen
cil,” while you’re talking on
the phone!
Since 1929,
Guy Lombardo
Swings in the New
Perhaps the most qualified to
talk about New Year’s Eve is Guy
Lombardo, who began his year-
end performances, in 1929 at New
York’s Roosevelt Hotel. Recent
years find him at the Waldorf-
Astoria, where several hundred
pay up to sixty dollars each for
the black-tie affair. His show is
televised in the United States,
Canada and Australia.
Despite the heavy bookings at
the hotel, Mr. Lombardo con
cedes, “People are getting more
used to staying home. They are
afraid of accidents and are get
ting more budget-conscious.”
