In the right background, a girl carries a suitcase with cross chalked on it by men at check-points. (UPI) Christmas Is Sad Time For Small Groupof Arabs Bv BAY .1. MOLONEY JERUSALEM, Jordan (UPI) For millions of Christians the world over Christmas is a time of rejoicing, but for a tiny handful of Arabs H is a period of brief, sad reunion. They are the families sepa rated by the world's forgotten wall, the Jerusalem wall that divides the Holy City into its Jewish and Jordanian sectors. The wall has been there for 15 years, a jagged barrier of stone and wire that marks the place where the fighting stopped be tween Jew and Arab in 1948. Only Crossing Point The wall's only crossing point Is the Mandclbaum Gate, which in fact is not a gale at all. The name comes from the owner of a house that slond on the spot. I Today "Mandelbaum Gate" is only a street crossing, surround I ed by rubble and stone houses, festooned with barbed wire and sandbags and with giant con crete cones littering the road, forcing vehicles to creep slowly forward under the watchful, tense gaze of Israeli and Jor- I U-A ,t.Ar- Udiiiau uuiucL gumua, All year long the crossing is closed except to tourists who may pass through it in either direction but not both and tn diplomats and United Nations officials. Flows Other Way Only twice a year, at Christ mas and at Easter, does the traffic flow (he other way. On those two occasions, a carefully screened and limited number of Israeli Arabs are permitted to enter Jordan for just 3fi hours for tearful reunions with their families. Thirty-six hours is not very long when you have been sepa rated from a wife, a husband or a son for 15 years and when there seems little chance the separation will ever end. For many of the reunited families, Christmas and Easter are the only times they receive any news of their loved ones and, as the years creep on, the news is all too frequently of death. The sad passage through the Mandelbaum Gale in virtual silence except for smothered sobs is in terrible contrast tn the whole hopeful spirit of Christmas.

Warned of Fog Several children warned St. Nick that Ihe fog may he Ihick when he approaches Medford lures. His request is far a cav airy suit and uniform. A road racer set and a para trooper suit is desired by a very his father and mother in the letter. He asked for a 30.30 rifle for him and a fur coat for her. Name Dolls Wauled A variety of "name dolls" on the market have caught Ihe fancy of little girls. A few write just "doll." But most of them Former Medford Some food faddists are sus- l I, n,J m nan li riuinuicu SALEM (UPI) Three promo tions were announced Friday by the Slate Police. All will be come effective Jan. 1.
