wanted to send her a comfort
ing farewell message. But
there was no way to get one
to her. Then he had a Idea.
"Outside his window was a
small grey bird hopping about
on the ground. It had been
there on many other occas
ions, often cheering St. Val
entine with Its singing, pre
haps the bird would carry
a message to the girl In Its
beak! Spurred on by thlshope,
St. Valentine sat down at a
crude bench and wrote words
of comfort and love. Then he
placed the message In the
bird's beak. Rising quickly,
It circled once above his win
dow before flying off In the
direction of the Jailer's house.
The girl was outside when
the small bird found her and
dropped the letter at her feet.
Inspired by St. Valentine's
words, she wrote a reply
which the bird again took In
his beak to deliver.
"But though it flew quickly
back to the cell, St. Valen
tine had already been taken
away and excuted. Finding him
in the courtyard, the bird
dropped the message at Ills
feet. As it did so, a drop
of St. Valentine's blood fell
on its feathers, turning the
drab grey coat to a rich,
crimson color.
"That Is how the redbird
became associated with Val
entine's Day, and through the
years It has become a bright
ly-colored symbol of love."
The workshop for the after
noon was making Valentine
Tray favors for the Franklin
Memorial Hospital. This was
under the supervision of Miss
Sue Johnson, Therapy Chair
man.
The Redbird arrangement
made by Miss Marcia Tlllot
son and Miss Cindy Debman
for the meeting was placed at

pital Information Desk for a
