Table decorations look best if they
are planned to harmonic in color
and if they are in good proportion to
the table and its accessories. 1t your
table is long and narrow, a long and
narrow c~enterpiece will look better
than a round one. A decoration hat
is too small will seem insignificant
and one too big will look too large
and important.
Usually the height of any table
decoration should be kept below
the eye level of the guests seated at
the table. If you have a very large
table or use a very light, airy mat
erial, the decoration may be higher.
One interesting arrangement for
a table consists of a few sprays OF
cedar, pine or holly informally arr
anged in a low bowl and frightened
with colorful berries and perhaps a
few pine cones carefully wired to the
twigs. Be sure the wires are com
pletely hidden.
Fresh flowers, which are always
pleasing, may be arranged for a
table decoration with evergreen
foliage to give the more of a holl-
day appearance.
You can make a simple but effect
i've table decoration out of found
alton of moss bound to a block OF
wood. Use sphagnun moss from the
florist or clean fibrous moss from
the woods. The moss should be moist
but not wet.
Pack the moss firmly on the form
and bind with Irvine. Leave small
openings for inserting one or more
candles when the piece Is finished.
Stick short pieces of evergreen In
the moss, or pin the greens in place
with hairpins or wire pins made by

Fasten the binder Irvine or wire IN
a small loop made at the end OF the

Two or more of these garlands

When it dries the tree will sparkle

Again and again. Byrnes en-
phaSiZed the need for the United
States 10 remain strong so it could
back up its words with action. if
necessary.
We have joined with our Allies
in the United Nations to put an end
to war Brynes said. I'VE have con-
Venanted not to use force except
in the defense of law as embodied
in the purposes and principles OF
the charter. We intend to live up
to that covenant"
Then he added:
But as great power and as a
permanent member of the security
council we have responsibility to
use our influence to see that other
powers live up to their covenant.
And that responsibility we also IN
tend to meet"
He argued that the present pow
er relationships of the great states
preclude the domination of the
power relationships cannot be sub
stantially altered by the unilateral
action OF any one great state with
out profoundly disturbing the whole
structure of the United Nations.
He declared. IF We are 10 be a
great power, we must act as a great
power, not only in order 10 ensure
our own security bur in order TO
preserve the peace OF the world.
Cannot Become Weak
He asserted that we cannot be
faithful to our obligations, to our
selves and 10 the world. if we alone
disarm.'
while it is not in accord with
our traditions to maintain large
professional standing army, We
must be able and ready TO provide
armed contingents that may be re-
quired on short notice. We must al
so have a trained citizenry able anC
ready to supplement these armed
contingents without unnecessarily
prolonged training.

Openly acknowledging that all
around us is suspicion and dis
trust" he termed some OF it un-
founded and unreasonable but said
the basis of some suspicious per-
sists and prompts me TO make some
comments as TO our position"
Without specifically mentioning
any individual power, he laid down
this seven point list Of must nOts
for great and small nations:
L. We will not and We cannot
stand aloof if force or the threat OF
force is used contrary to the pur-
poses and principles OF the char
ter.
>. We have no right to hold our
troops in the territories of other
sovereign states without their APP
proval and consent freely given.
3. We must not unduly prOlOng
the making OF peace and continue
TO impose our troops upon small
and impoverished nations.
4. NO power has a right to help
itself to alleged enemy properties
in liberated or eX-satellite coun-
tries before a reparatlOn settlement
has been agreed upon by the AL
lies. We have not and will not
agree 10 any one power deciding
for itself what il will take from
these countries.
s. We must not conduct wal
of nerves to achieve strategic ends
s. We do not want to stumble
and stagger into situation where
no power intends war. but no power
will be able to avert war.
