True, things for the home can run into budget straining figures if something big and important is planned, but this can be handled easily, too. Friends and relatives can dub together to give one su perb important gift. On the other hand there are so many furnishings and decorations newlyweds need, the gift expendi ture can easily be modest enough for almost any budget. Take pot tery, for example, trays, bowls, ta ble lighters, nagazine racks, a nest of tables, initialed towels, picture frames, lamps; all of which make fine gifts. If you want to be more generous consider place settings of silver to match what they have or want; a love seat; or maybe a table top tel evision set. « m Plan for Peace To Be Okayed United Nations, N. Y. — India’s plan for bringing peace to Korea heads fo/ final approval today by the full U. N. General Assembly. Once okayed, it will be sent on for an already promised rejection by the Chinese and North Korean Reds. The Assembly at its plenary ses sion this afternoon was expected to give the Indian resolution the same overwhelming endorsement it received Monday over bitter So viet bloc opposition in the Political Committee. The committee, exhausted by more than a month of heated argu ment on Korea, brought 53 West ern and neutral countries together in a solid bloc to approve India’s compromise prisoner of war plan over five negative Soviet bloc votes and an abstention by Nationalist China. Delegates expected the vote to be identical in the Assembly, follow ing a brief debate. Further fire works were not expected, since the Assembly action is merely a form- 1 ality and speakers usually are re-j quired to limit their arguments to from five to seven minutes. The amended Indian resolution calls for a four-power commission and a fifth-power umpire to handle the repatriation of all prisoners on the Western principle that they will not be forceh to return home if they don’t want to, and provides for the U. N. to take over all those who remain behind if their fate hasn’t been settlen in four months. Once passed. Assembly Presi dent Lester B. Pearson of Canada sends it to the Red Chinese and North Korean commanders and urges them to accept it as quickly as possible so an armistice can be effected. Even the author of the plan, V. K. Krishna Menon, ex pressed doubt that the Reds would accept it, but he said India would continue to keep in contact with Peiping in an effort to find a way to bring the warring East and West together in an agreement. Table Decorations Made With Ease At Christmas Time New York. — In the modern, servantless home, hospitality at Christmastime must often be sim ple out of sheer necessity. This does not mean that it’s a hospitality lacking in warmth or that the traditional touches are missing. But it does mean that back-breaking preparations and great fuss are out of the question. Fortunately, this is a year of a new look in table decorations, one that’s devoid of fuss and feathers. The clutter has vanished and in its place, there are table decorations any woman can ceate herself in a minimum of time. If you own the traditional Christmas china, you’ll probably want to cue your centerpiece to it. But if you don’t possess such china, you’ll get a gay holiday effect by using an inexpensive green cloth and pairing it with red linen nap kins. Whether it’s a buffet or a sit- down dinner, there are lovely ef fects to be gotten from easily-con cocted centerpieces. Try thick branches of pine encircling three fat white candles of different heights. Nestle shiny red orna ments among the boughs and you’ll have a handsome centerpiece. Or, you might try trimming a miniature green tree with red car nations and gold ornaments. An- I other effective combination pairs ; red carnations and white roses in i a low bowl surrounding a thick i candle in dark green. Christmas greens and holly ber ries can go into containers, such aa a pair of Dutch shoes, and form an effective centerpiece with lithe effort or coat. Every woman has the essential makings of such cen terpieces about her house. Com bined with the traditional Christ mas flowers and colors, they give any table a festive air. For Christmas buffet, use a new, handsome, modem sterling pattern in eomtouvation with simple china. A miniature tree makes a center- piece, roped off by radiating silver rope. The informal dinner table has a centerpiece of mirrored Dutch shoes filled with greens and used with a tall, thick white candle. The traditional Christmas china is on the table, in company with a sterl ing pattern that’s French Renais sance in feeling, a traditional pat tern for hospitality at Christmas. p««- txmto resented the Star Fort chapter in Greenwood and brought greetings.
