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

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,

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.
