PAPIER MACHE CIRCLE
MASTERTON ART CLUB'S WAR EFFORT. As a special war effort the Masterton Art Club and friends have formed a papier mache circle. Tuesday of each week is set aside for members to meet at the Dixon Street rooms to work at their quota of splints and clinical necessities. Some members will probably visit the rooms on other days when they have an hour or two to spare. ’ The club has pledged itself to make and donate one third of the needs of Home Guard, E.P.S., ambulance, hospital and emergency reserve. Above these requirements the members intend making varied other articles, especially baby necessities and selling them to help defray the only cost, but a fairly heavy one, that of enamel. Mrs Whatley, the New Zealand organiser of the craft, promises that if the work is carried out as directed, the articles can be boiled five times for five minutes, but as everything is made of waste newspaper, brown paper and cardboard, such a severe test is not. necessary. All shops are kindly and willingly giving unwanted boxes of cardboard and paper to help the effort for which the circle is very thankful.
