Cildwell Valentine's Day The experts don't quite agree on how St. Valentine's t'ay got started . . . although it is said that there were two saints of that name martyred by the Emper or Claudius co this day. Over the cent u r i e s t h e cele bration has had li 1 1 I e rcli g i o u 9 connection. One of the early English tradi tions was that every bird choe his mate on Valentine's Day, so it was only natural that the day became associated with young lovers. In the Middle Ages one of the popular customs was for each young bachelor to draw the name of a local maiden from a box. He had to be her Valen tine for a full year. At the beginning of this century, mo-st valentines were c mic ones, and thty were al ways anonymous. Customs change . . . and today it's often common to identify yourself as the sender, and valentines are a', often fender as they are comic. Other customs will come and go, but we suspect that the heart will always be with us on Valentine' Day. It wouJd be kind of hard to improve on that . . .
