Explaining the Chinese ability
to render null and void peoples
who attempted through the ages
to conquer her. Comdr. Byrns
quoted an old proverb: China is
a great sea which makes all the
waters salty that flow into it, :"
meaning that all the people who
conquer her become part of her.
The fact that the Chinese
built up their own civilization is
interesting. Isolated as they were,
by natural barriers and their own
desire for privacy, the Chinese
learned through their own study
and invention, becoming the first
people to have block printing

the speaker said.
Comdr. Byrns will present to
the Club various thoughts and at
titudes of the people of China.
and will read several ancient
poems showing the tranquility
and beauty Of their thought. His
many Chinese friends have given
him a great variety of facts and

Ret.), collector of Chinese lore
and art works, will be guest
speaker at the monthly meeting

Comdr. Byrns became interest
ed in the history of that ancient
nation during several tours of
duty there. In connection with his
talk he will show bronze and
wooden figurines from 500 to
1000 years old.
Speaking of Chinese art in par.
ticular, Comdr. Byrns said. Time
plays an important part in China
in that it means nothing. The
only thing that matters to a
Chinese artist is the beauty and
perfection of his work"
IT is fascinating" he contin-
ued, TO consider a nation that
has existed for 1000 years with
the same culture, same race of
people, and basically the same
