BEGINNING DEC. 16 FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CONVENIENCE - 4 Make holidoy decorations for your home, this year “,-. • One way to recapture some of the magic of an old-fashioned Christmas is to participate more in the actual preparations for it and making your own tree trimmings and decorations is a gOQd start. Make it a family or group project and discover together what a joy there is in -"doing", as well as in giving and receiving. The materials you ,need are simple 'and some of them you .will already have on hand, such as pins, wire, glue, hairpins, 'eggshells. Others, such as packages of glitter and sequins and an ever-larger assortment of styrofoam shapes are now available from most dime stores, When you have everything handy, it's a matter of deciding whether it's to be a mobile, table centre, tree trim or door decoration...or one of each. Once started, you'll find that one idea leads to another, particularly if the children are vying with one another to produce the most glittering object. Just in case the imagination needs a little "push", why not start with one of the following? STAR LIGHT — STAR BRIGHT A dab of glue and a squirt of spray quickly transform six ordinary paper drinking straws into giant, glistening stars. The first step is to make two equal-sided triangles. Each one will take three straws. The tips of the straws are bonded together with clear cement. Then one triangle is placed over the other, star-wise, and glued at the touching points. Once the glue is set, the star is ready for quick, all-around spraying with gold ,or silver spray. And to make it really twinkle, sprinkle with glitter or sequins before the spray dries. These stars are particularly effective hung at the window, thereby providing both indoor and outdoor decorating interest. Their size, •of course, can be varied by shortening the straws. They're so simple to make, you special for Christmas British e conom ist-hroad- caster-writer Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) studies the disparity between rich and poor nations of the world on One Per Cent Plus, a one-hour TV documentary which includes an interview with former prime minister Lester B. Pearson. The CBC religious broadcasts department presentation will be colourcast, on the CBC-TV network on Christmas Day at 5 p.m., with J. Frank Willis as host. On the programme Miss Ward — who has spent much time pleading the case of the developing nations in the forum otworld opinion — examines the events which created the present gap between wealthy and poor nations. She then suggests that rich countries allocate one percent of their gross national product to unrequited foreign aid, which could be channeled through such international organizations as the World Bank. She also suggests that birth control in itself is insufficient to remedy ,the international imbalance in wealth and that better agricultural programmes are a key factor. During the telecast Miss Ward discusses world poverty with Lester B. Pearson, chairman of the Commission on International Aid and Development. Since his retirement 'as prime minister Mr. Pearson has been active in the field of international economic development. She also speaks with Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, president of The World Council of Churches, about the problems of the rich and the poor in world toddy and about what can be done to encourage global economic justice. Specific issues discussed dn the special TV programmes ufetude the feasibility of a world taXation system, and restrictions imposed on some bilateral foreign aid which obligate the recipient to spend the money inside the donor country., Barbara Ward was born in Yorkshire and educated in Paris, Germany, and at OXford; She's a former assistant editor of the British journal The Economist and a former governor' of the British Broadcasting Corporation, may decide to make a milky way! ;it Pom PONS Plump, decorative nom pons cap be made from the plastic bags dry cleaners return clothes in, or from polythene film bought by the yard at most hardware stores, They are made exactly the same way as woollen ones, using one-inch strips of plastic film instead Of wool yarn. It takes the ' film from one garmet bag to make a porn pon the size of a tangerine, The pom pons can he used "as is" or a lovely, shimmering effect can be achieved by lightly dusting them with gold or silver Spray. Using fine sewing thread, they cap be hung individually, or in clusters, or you might even prefer to use them as the final touch to a very special gift package. Light, bouncy, and unbreakable, plastic porn pons have years of decorating "wear" in them. PLASTIC WREATHS -.A shimmering ' plastic" Christmas wreath makes an ideal decoration for the front door, because it will withstand the weathef in spite of its glamorous appearance. A wire coat hanger, plus a few polythene bags that dry cleaning is delivered in, are the basic materials required. First, shape the hanger into a Circular hoop. The cut strips f polythene about six inches long and two inches ‘,T4,;?e. Each strip is tied tightly to ;'-o wire hoof', sliding the knots, closely together in order to make 'the wreath bushy as possible. When the hoop is completely covered, spray the finished wreath lightly with silver, gold or green spray. It will dry, in minutes, Then make a bow from 'weather-proOf, plastic ribbon and attach it to the top of 'the wreath where it will hide the hanger hook. The beauty of this wreath is that it can be made in an evening, yet can , be used 'for more than one year, Easy, to store, its original, •fresh• look can be regained simply 'by re-spraying' it before it' is hung again. • ORNAMENTED FOAM BALLS Plastic foam spheres, readily available in a variety of sizes at Christmas-time, are a wonderful foundation for ornaments. They are especially easy to work with for they are light, unbreakable and have a "spongy" surface that is easy to pierce. For a quick effect, try dotting a plastic ball here and' there with household cement, dip-the , ball in a saucer of glitter and it , will instentlY be transformed into a gli.steriing," globe, Or, for a tailored effect, encircle • the ball in criss-cress fashion with narrow strips oil brightly coloured. ribbon, or braid, using short-stemmed common pins to anchor the ribbon, ends. • If you want to get a velvety, three-dimensional effect, snip the balls from odds and ends "or ball fringe you may have in your work basket. Then attach them individually to the foam ball by piercing with a straight pin. These rich-looking ornaments stand up well from Christinas to Christnias...even the odd tumble from the tree leaves them : unscarred. And for a truly opulent look, sequins, pearls, and brilliantly coloured heads can be pinned to the ball — either singly or stacked one atop the other ori,a long-stemmed straight pin. Hung close to a tree light, these bejewelled balls will glow and gleam. A hairpin, sunk into one end ; of the ball, will provide an excellent hook for hanging.

GLISTENING WREATH There's no hard and fast rule that a Christmas wreath must he made of greens and pine cones, and you may find it more fun to make one froth materials, such as artificial flowers, that you have around the house. A very handsome wreath can be made from plastic snapdragons that are past their "first bloom". First, make a nine-inch diameter circle from heavy wire, or a bent coat hanger will also do, and curve four stalks of snapdragons around it, wiring , them into positiOn. Then fill in the bare spots between the stalks with leaves. ' Finally, spray the wreath liberally with either gold or silver spray. As soon as it is dry, a crimson velvet or satin bow, tied at the bottom, will give it a truly opulent look. I
