Sacred Site Still Causes Controversy Of all the shrines in Christen- dom, none is more sacred - or more shabby — than the 800 - year -old Church of the Holy Se- pulcher in the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem. Built, according to legend, on the site of both the Crucifixion and the Resurrec- tion, the crumbling stone church was rocked by an earthquake in 1927, wracked by mortar fire during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948, and ravaged by fire in 1950. Today, only a jungle of massive scaffolding holds the twin -domed shrine together. Since 1947, there have bean five suggested plans for rester- ing the Holy Sepulcher to its former grandeur. But the six Christian communities (the Ro- man Catholic, the Greek, Arme- nian and Syrian Orthodox, and the Egyptian and Ethiopian Coptic) have been unable to agree on what should be done or who should have the privilege of paying. Last month, however, there was hope that this most holy of Christian shrines can be saved before it collapses in a heap of sacred rubble. Hassan El I{atib, the Moslem Governor General of Jerusalem, summoned the Chris- tian architects to his office and told them they couldn't leave until they had initialled some sort of plan. As a result, a ten- tative agreement has been reach- ed on a $1.5 million repair pro- gram to shore up the tottering south transept and facade and the smaller of the two domes. Nothing was said about long - debated plans for adding a Prot- estant chapel (there is none now), repairing the main rotun- da over Christ's tomb, and clear- ing away some of the architec- tural clutter. But, even with its objectives sharply limited, the restoration plan could easily be upset by some new outbreak of petty jealousy. So vigorously do the various Christian communi- ties guard their separate per- quisites that any agreement is always subject to change. In the past, disputes have raged over which sect had the right to hang vestments in what clothes closets, and who was go- ing to whitewash the ceiling. It is not unusual for the Roman Catholics and the Copts, who say mass at the same time each week in the main rotunea, to try and drown each other out, Last Christmas, a Greek Ortho- dox group spied a Franciscan standing on a step leading to one of "their" chapels. The fight that ensued was so un -Christian that the Jordanian police had to be summoned, It is no wonder, then, that the new restoration agreement is so tentative. As one Franciscan re- marked the other day, while shuffling through a dimly lit passageway: "You can't change a light bulb around here with- out consulting protocol. That's why the place is so dark."

Ctozke We had a burial here this morning — without benefit of clergy. A neighbor was busy cutting his lawn when, in a vacant lot that runs at the back of our two properties, he found a collie dog. It was dead -- very, very, very dead. We knew it be- longed to people on the next road and had been missing .for over a week. Poor old Rex, he was fourteen years old, .the pet of the family." After his owners had been notified by phone Billy and his father carne over. Twelve -year-old Billy was in tears. Why wouldn't he be — he and Rex had grown up together. With the help of Partner and the neighbour who found the dog a grave was dug and Rex buried right on the spot where he died. In the middle of things Billy's mother came through a gap in our fence. I found her with eyes streaming and hardly able to speak for sobs. Just so much can a dog mean to a fa- mily. Time after time she had told me - "I don't know what we would do if anything ever happened 'to Rex." Small won- der. Rex always followed Billy to school and afterwards came trotting back alone. Then about three -thirty he would be off again to meet Billy on his way home from school. Rex was slow, shaggy, unkempt and half blind. But he belonged to the family and they loved him. Now they are wondering ... did he die a natural death or was he poison- ed? If so, by whom? Can yuu imagine anyone mean enough to poison a poor old dog wnese only sin was that he sometimes walked across other people's property? Dee and the boys had a similar loss this summer when eleven - year -old Honey developed jaun- dice and, for fear of infection, the "vet" advised she be put to sleep. She would probably have died anyway. It just meant a quicker release from her suf- fering. Thank heaven, mercy killing is allowed for animals anyway. Our Ditto has had her trou- bles too and has probably lost one of her nine lives. She is a great hunter and it looked to me as if a rat had taken a bite out of her tail. Anyway she felt very sorry for herself for a cou- ple of days and stayed pretty close to home. Now she is on the prowl again. Her favorite hunting ground is a discarded chicken pen in a yard across SALLY' SALLIES I _..t.1_ • 'What are you scoling:about? eve bcett to cooking acllural: the road. Quite often she brings home mice and offers them to Taffy. I hope she doesn't feel too hurt when he rejects them. Taffy likes hunting too but his main interest is rabbits. I doubt if he has ever caught one but that doesn't seen to discourage him. So that's our animal news for the week. Isn't It strange that we can still be concerned with ordin- ary everyday things when we are living through such critical times in world affairs? It may be ludicrous by comparison but thank heaven we can still be concerned over the loss of a dog even as we listen to what is taking place in the Congo, in the U.N. Assembly, or in the wake of Hurricanes Donna and Ethel. Surely it is this absorp- tion with apparently unrelated family affairs that helps us to keep both feet on the ground instead of worrying ourselves in- to a state of nervous exhaustion, I was thinking this when we were visiting friends last week — an intelligent, well-educated much travelled couple, who, from choice, are now trying to make a living from farming — but not too successfully. 0 u r conversation during the day did eventually get around to inter- national affairs; to war and the threat of war, but mostly it was about the local drought; fear that the well would give out; uneasiness because they were having to supplement pasture feeding with hay stored in the barn for winter use. Also the advisability of selling calves as vealers or to keep them for baby beef. The price of eggs was also discussed, and the poor yield this year from garden pro- duce — all reflecting on the weekly income. There was also Will She Repeat. Liz Taylor's succo s? Chestnut -haired 1,ori Martin, age 13, skipped off an elevator in Rockefeller Center ens day recently and bestowed an affec- tionate kiss on old friend Tab Hunter, who looked almost grown up beside her. A floelt of press agents clucked indulgently as the diminutive beauty trained Iter cobalt blue eyes and dazzling smile on a pair of Newsweek re- porters. The star of NBC's new "National Velvet" series, based nn the same Enid Bagnold girl - loves -horse story that catapulted Elizabeth Taylor to glory some fifteen years ago, Lori was in New York for a week of publi- city and some fun prior to the series' premiere. The obvious question was, would theatrical history repeat itself? "Look at my elephants, aren't they adorable?" said Lori, show- ing off a matched wooden set just given to her by a luncheon admirer at Trader Vic's — and thus established point of similar- ity No. 1 (Liz Taylor, at 14, col- lected toy animals). "I've got 25 horses at home, including my sis- ter's. Thank goodness, these won't break. I talk to them when I'm mad at people," added Lori, "but they go and hide in the cupboard," . Lori has been riding real horses since she was 6 (Liz be- gan at 3). "I try to ride as often as I can," she said," "but we're a modest little family." The fam- ily lives in Burbank, Calif., and consists of mother and father (an art director at Warner's), older sister Jean, twin sister Doree, and younger brother Stephen. None of these were overly surprised when Lori, who has appeared in 40 TV plays and a movie, was chosen from among 1,000 applicants for the role of Velvet Brown, "My older sister has a slight tendency to be jeaI- ous sometimes," Lori admitted, "but really, all of them are quite nice about ft." Lori herself takes stardom in stride. She owns a Thunderbird ("but my mother drives it for me"), works six hours a day at the studio puts in three more hours tutoring. "My grades are nothing great, but they're cer- tainly not lousy." While in New York for the first time, Lori planned to see New York from the Empire State Building, a Broadway play, and Freedomland, "I also want to go shopping," she said, "I've saved $25 from my allowance." So far, there had been little time for sight-seeing. "I do get rest- less sometimes," Lori sighed. And Miss Taylor? "She's a good actress," Lori said. "I saw our main worry for the day .. a sixty mile drive each way with a nine -mile stretch of road con- struction . , , and road construc- tion can always be depended upon to provide conversation! And so it is — people every- where go about their daily liv- ing — working or vacationing. We have neighbours just home from the U.S., Europe or a cruise on the Great Lakes, as the case may be.

A, Of course, you are imply- ing closer attention to what the other person is saying if you look at him — but be sure this doesn't become a fixed and hypnotic stare that could make the other person feel uncom- fortable. Q. Some of my friends havo told me that it Is improper for a person, even when dining alone in a public place, to read at the table. Is this true? A. Your friends have nils - informed you.
