Last month, as the book went into its fourth printing (it has sold 50,000 copies), the 38-year-old author explained that his home reme- dies "aren't -folklore, medically approved measures to treat minor illnesses." His book is devoted primarily to the ailments which most Ame- ricans either think are too silly to bother a doctor with, or not serious enough to warrant: pay- ing the doctor's fees.

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 been five suggested plans for restor- --ing the Holy Sepulcher to ils former grandeur, But the six Christian communities (the Ro- man Catholie, 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, hotvever, there was hope that this most holy of Christian shrines- can be saved before it collapses in a heap of sacred rubble. Hassan El Katib, 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 ahout 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 rotunda, 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." i "piciure ds they try. oul new "cone" chairs as youn Danish architect Verner Panton, The chairs have X-shaped "sheet metal frames covered with foam rubber, Anybody Can Become A Minister "Judas Iscariot -sold out for 30 pieces of silver--but I bought Christian ordination for $50, "I am an ordained minister -- and ashamed of it, , ." This is the melodramatic way reporter Bill Jones of the Long Beach, Calit., Independent kick- ed off his series of 'confes- sions" last month- on one of the nation's most disgraceful rack- ets, and one that is untouched by law: Quick "ordination." The "church" to which Jones refers is not only undéhomina- tional but unnamed; his "Certi- ficate of Ordination" merely reads: "Know Ye -- Rev. Wil- . liam Jones has been duly or- * dained at the requést of King- dom Bible Institute, Dallas, Texas, and is hereby entitled to all rights and privileges, mar- riage, baptism, burial -- accord- ed a minister (sic) of the gos- pel under the ecclesiastical and statutory laws of the United States of America." In ten weeks of undercover work, in cooper- ation with the California attor- ney general's office, the 30-year- -old feature writer established relations with eight "religious" organizatipns in several states, He says that for $200 he could. have become a "bishop" in New Thought Science, Inc., 4415 San- ta Monica Boulevard, Los An- geles. Because his newspaper ex- pense account would not stretch that far, he became qualified as a "Neophyte," or faith healér, for a modest $30. The Church of Light, Box 1523, Los Angeles, made him a Stellarian -- "what- ever that is." All he had to do --was promise to hand over his | proxy for annual church meet- ings to the 'organization's presi- dent, Probably the best bargain, however, came from "Rev.

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 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 came 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 far 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 abeut 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 you imagine anyone mean enough to poison a poor old dog whose - 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; a yard across' SALLY'S ard the road. Quite olla 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 seem' to discourage him. So that's our animal news for the week, 5 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. Our conversation during the day did .eventually get around to inter- national affairs; to war and the threat of war, but - mostly it was 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- |-~ weekly income.

Chestnut-haired Lori Martin, age 13, skipped off an elevator » in Rockefeller Center one day recently and bestowed an affec- tionate kiss on old friend Tab Hunter, who looked glmost grown up beside her, A flock of press agents clucked indulgently as the diminutive beauty trained + her cobalt blue eyes and dazzling - smile on a pair of Newsweek re- porters. The star of NBC's new "National Velvet" series, 'based ° on the same Enid Bagnold girl- loves-horse story that catapulted Elizabeth Taylor .to glory some fifteen years ago, Lerl was in New York for a week of publi- - city and some fun prior to the series' premiére. A The abvious 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 23 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 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 whén Lori, who has appeared in 40 TV plays and - a movie, was'chosen from among 1,000 applicanfs for the role of . Velvet Brown. "My older sister has a slight tendency to be jeal- ous sometimes," Lori admitted, "but really, all of them are quite . riice about it." 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.
