Elegant Decorations Made
From Many Humble Items

A pre- Christmas Arts and
Crafts Class at the District
Red Cross headquarters has
produced some fine ideas for
Yuletide decorations, to make
at home If you have the
time.
Over the past three weeks,
the length Of the course,
volunteers have turned egg
crates. tin cans and other
humble items into elegant
pieces for their tables, doors
and Christmas trees.
Mrs. Richard z. Kemp, who
taught the class, can't recap
the whole course here, but
she does have some instruc-
tons to pass along:
Christmas Tree Pinwheels
Take five cups from q
paper egg crate. the type
with deep. pointed sections.
Cut the sides Of each down
to form four petals, paint
them, paste them together
(she uses Elmer's glue) with
pointed backs toward the CEN
ter. then decorate with gilt
ter or what have you. Attach
fine wire to the center and
hang on your Christmas tree.
Christmas Roses
You'll need four cups from
an egg crate, the type with
deep square, ottomed Sec
tons. Trim the rough edges
from one cup, make a slit
down its side and cut out
the small square bottom.
Roll 1t tightly and secure at
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-12-19

both sides Of the seam, right
down to the bottom: bend
the seams back and forth
and they'll come off easily.
Next, you cut each can
into Is equal sections. First
wrap q strip Of paper around
the can to get the exact
circumference. fold this strip
In half, then in fourths,
eighths and sixteenths. Tape
the paper onto the can about
two inches from the can top
and cut down to meet its
Is divisions. Then lower the
guide strip another two
inches and cut again. con-
tinuing this process til
you've reached the bottom Of
the can. CYoull probably
need gloves to protect
thumbs and knuckles)
Now bend down sections
flat with can bottom to form
a flat sunburst. Make four
Sits in the end Of each ray"
thus dividing 1t into five
equal strips. On the largest
can, the two outside Sits Of
every ray should be about
3la inches deep. the two in
side Sits somewhat shorter.
On the second and third
cans, the outside cuts should
be only "a inches deep. On
the fourth can - which
should be the same height
as the third can - slit the
sections of EVERY OTHER
ray to within " inch Of the
bottom Of the can, and the
sections OF the alternating
rays to within 1A inches Of
the bottom Of the can.
At this point you start
curling all those little strips,
using your needle-nose pliers.
Once you've got q curl
started, you can finish it
with finger and thumb (keep
your gloves on); curl all the
way down to the end of each
slit. On cans one, two and
three, turn and flatten all
the curls out to the side. On
the fourth can, the center
curl in each ray Is not
turned out but curled
straight forward and allowed
to remain there.
Punch two holes in the
center of each can bottom
with q sharp ice pick. Fasten
all four cans together by
running q piece of wire up
through the two holes in
each. Twist the ends of the
wire together to hold the
four medallion pieces tightly
together. Now put that down
and make your Star Medal
lion lid, thusly:
With tin ships, cut your
No. ia can lid into eight
equal divisions, leaving an
uncut area in the center
about the size Of q dime.
Now cut each Of the eight
sections into narrow grad
uated strips. Cut from the
outside of the section work.
ing in toward the sections
center, alternating from left
to right and making each
right-and-left slit shorter
than the last. This is i'm
portant. The Sits should be
parallel to the sides of each
section except for the last,
central slit, the shortest of
all, which should point to-
ward the center of the lid.
If this confuses you, do a
diagram on paper, making
dark lines to indicate the
eight sections and finer lines
to indicate the section Sits.
What you'll see. If you've got
. the right idea, is an unlined

ished, curl the tip end of
each strip with your needle
nose pliers and curl the CEN
ter strips up and in to fill
in the central area. Flatten
down one side of the star.
Now, back to your bigger
piece, run the loose ends Of
the wire up on either side of
the star. to attach the lat
ter to the center of the cans,
again twist the wire ends to-
gether and cut off the excess.
It's finished!

area in the shape Of an eight
pointed star.
The tin ships will cause
the thin strips on the left
side of each section to curl
up automatically and the
strips at the right side to
curl down automatically. Ar
range the cut strips of each
section symmetrically before
starting to cut another Sec
ton, or they will become
tangled and misshapen.

paper is too stiff to work
with, dampen 1t q little. Mrs.
Kemp stuck her roses (using
the wire ends) into q semi
circle of styrofoam, then
sprayed with gold paint,
added q few tiny ornaments
and put a candle in the
center.

Clothing Features For
Physically Handicapped
Women

Clothing features for physically
handicapped women have been de-
veloped by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture, according to Miss jan
ct Reed, clothing specialist with
the University of Delaware.
Miss Reed says the new designs
suggest many ways that clothing
can help handicapped women take
care of themselves and do their
housework more effectively. T b e
clothing has been designed to offer
freedom of movement, comfort,
convenience, safety, and attractive
appearance The collection con-
tains garments generally worn at
home, dresses, slacks, skirts, blous-
es, shorts and aprons.
Features include all over easy
fit, open necklines, low rolling col
lars, moderately full skirts, front
openings, secure closures suited to
the individuals manual dexterity,
beltless WaiStlines or belts attach
ed to the garment, roomy, easy to
reach pockets reinforced against
strain and styled so the contents
will not spill if the homemaker sits
as she works, and features that
make the garment respond readily
to rotary motions of the shoulders.
The fabrics are chosen not only
for comfort and service, but also
for easy care, points out Miss Reed
Special featues provide ex r a
give" where clothes are frequen-
tly strained or ripped-at waist
lines, under arms, and across the
back These features allow a dis
abled person to reach high or low
without being restrained and fati-
gued by clothing. ElasticiZed webb
ing in waistlines of dresses and
skirts adds to comfort and helps
hold in the blouse.
The fasteners used - Zippers,
pressure tape, and snap fasteners,
suit may types of handicaps. t h e
waistband of one skirt is fastened
with a modified overshoe buckle,
because flip-type fasteners are cas-
lest for persons with certain fin
ger disabilities.
Aprons are designed to protect
clothing during work and at meal
time and to help in moving or car
rying things in the kitchen. One
apron has a firm corded edge and
is made of waterproof material
easy to wipe clean. A plastic open
spring hoop instead of ties makes
this apron easy to put on or take
Off
Stacks with tapered legs are de-
signed for comfort during long
sitting. One pair has pleats at the
knees to allow easy bending
Stretch fabrics are used in on c
style to allow freedom for daily ex-
ercises.
The new housewear collection al
so includes wheel chair pockets
that may be attached to chair arms
to accommodate the many articles
that handicapped homemakers need
with them during the day. These
pockets take some of the strain of
clothing and also save homemakers
too much wheeling about.
Many of the garments an
special features are suitable 70
able-bodied homemakers who wan

work in, easy to care for and at

Russian-supplied antiaircraft
rocket.
The Defense Department an
nounced last Saturday tn a t
Maj. Anderson's reconnaissance
plane was missing and that it
had been fired upon by Cuban
weapons. Maj. Anderson was
presumably flying an aerial sur
veillance mission over the So
Wet missile bases under con-
struction in Cuba.
The missing Air Force major
was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal.
A spokesman said the De-
Tense Department would be in
touch with the United Nations
to arrange for the return Of
Maj. Anderson's body. The
Swiss diplomatic mission in Ha-
vana is expected to make ar.
rangements. Switzerland rep.
resents the United States ir
Cuba since the rupture of dip.
lomatic relations.
No date for the return of the
body has been announced.
Maj. Anderson's home towr
was Greenville, S. c., but his
widow and two sons live in De,
Rio, Texas, where the major
was stationed.
A U. N. official said Mr.. Cas-
tro agreed Immediately when
Mr.. Thant made his request
for return of the body.

Khrushchev's public pledge of
continued economic assistance,
as well as Soviet Vice Premier
Mikoyan's hurried visit to Ha-
vana for presumably economic
discussions, are Soviet efforts
to salve Mr.. Castros wounded
pride and save his regime from
collapse.
In this situation, United
States officials are frankly
dismayed by the Brazilian eff
forts to mediate the dispute
between this country and Mr..
Castro.
Although Brazilian President
Joao Goulart has had frequent
and long talks with United
States Ambassador Lincoln
Gordon in Rio de Janeiro
about the initiative, policy
makers here are keeping tight
silence about their official
knowledge Of what is going on.

shall Tito's independence of
Moscow.
But Mr.. Castro is m no such
position. He is far from Moscow.
And after the offensive missiles
are withdrawn, officials suspect
he will be of only marginal
interest to the Soviet Union.
Furthermore he is not regarded
here as the same type of hard
headed responsible" leader
that President Tito is.
Breach Feared
Officials argue that for the
United States to accept a
"Titoist" Cuba would mean a
breach in the Western hemi-
spheric system. 1t would be
first recognition of the right
to have a Communist regime
here.
Even if the Cuban dictator
were to keep his part of the
bargain about subversion and
exported revolution-which Of
ficials here strongly doubt
they shudder at the domestic
political explosion such a bar
gain would create in this
country.
Second, officials here have
little faith and no evidence of
any impending break between
Havana and Moscow. Mr..
Castro is believed to be too de-
pendent upon Mr.. Khrushchev
economically to risk such a
break.
IF he did," one official COM
"all his electric lights
would go out, all his automo-
biles and engines would stop,
and the economy would just
collapse.
And even if the break did
come, these officials added, the
United States would be cutting
its own throat if it rushed in
to save Mr.. Castro from total
economic and political oblivion.
Tries to Save Face
The feeling in official quar-
tiers here is that the Cuban
dictator is trying to make the
best out of a bad deal-from
his point of view = between
Mr. Khrushchev and President
Kennedy.
His demands for further guar
antees against United States
aggression - including evacua-
ton of Guantanamo Naval
BaSe-are considered as much
blackmail of Russia as of the
United States.

Pink Grapefruit,
Orange Crossed

FORT MYERS, Fla, Nov.
(AP). - Sam Bruton, an 49,
year-old citrus fruit authority,
announced today the develop
ment of a new citrus fruit
crossing a pink grapefruit and
an orange.
Mr.. Bruton named the new
fruit Fort Myers tangelo." He
described it as between an Or
ange and a grapefruit in size,
with a high juice content, very
sweet and pink. He said the
United States Department of
Agriculture approved the tan
gelo.
"One big advantage of this
new fruit is that it is hurricane
resistant" said Mr.. Bruton,
who has been working for
years to develop this hybrid.
THE winds can blow strong
enough to uproot the trees and
still will not blow any of the
fruit off the tree. I think it is
probably because the fruit has
such a smooth skin and tough
stem"
Mr.. Bruton has been a citrus
specialist all his life.
