DR. T. LAYTON KRASKR . . .
THE HOLY LAND
%rtirte 1C
Dr 1'rMrr. ProfrsMir • of Bible
at l*reobvterian College, mrntly
returned from a trip to Kuropc and
the Middle East
The day that vee had to leave the
oM city of Jerusalem came Joo soorr
All of us would like to have stayed
longer, but our schedule called for
leaving at a certain time, so we had
to go '
Just a little-while before we left.
1 had a visitoi* downstairs. On go
ing down, whom should 1 find in
the courtyard but my twelve-year-
old Christian Arab friend, Samir
Elias Gattis whom 1 met on the Via
Dolorosa, and his younger brother.
They had come to tell me goodbye.
It made me love them even more.
We had a good little visit, and just
before leaving, I took some good
pictures of them and gave each of
them an American quarter as a tok
en. Before Christmas, I sent them
a httle present, and a few days ago
a letter was received from Samir
that warmed my heart. To show his
ability, and a bit of his spirit, I am
going to let you read his letter He
said. ‘•Dear Dr. L Fraser, thank
you for your letter of the 19th. De
cember 1958 which expressed all
kindness and good will towards me
and my brother. Really those days
were very precious when you were
in Jerusalem. Come again once
more and you will find us ready
and at your service. ,
'Many people were here this year
on Christmas and it was really en
joyable. Many thanks again for
your nice friendship w hich we never
forget and mainly for sending us the
two dollars where we bought a nice
gift for us and remembered you
while we were gathered at home
•We feh so sorry for not writing
you before, but we shall do that
from now on while in our prayers
we always think of you Our sincere
regards for thfe New Year wishing
you a successful and blessed one
too
Chemo and all the beat I re
main. Yours faithfully. Samir E
Catlas. Jerusalem.” 1 would like
very much to accept Samir's invi. i
tation to come again once more ”
came to leave. *o we I
said.goodbye to Samir and his bro
ther, and to the manager and staff
of the hotel who had been exceed
ingly kind to us, and started for the
, iMundelbaum Gate.” This is the
passage from t the old city of Jeru
salem. Jordan, into the new city of
Jerusalem. Israel We went through
this gate and ‘no man’s land" with
i the knowledge that we could not re
turn One can go from Jordan to
Israel, but he cannot pass from Is
rael to Jordan. It was a w.ierd expe
rience-—barbed wire and shattered
'buildings on both sides, with Jor
dan's soldiers on one side, United
Nations’ soldiers in the middle, and
Israel’s soldiers on the other side.
No photographs were allowed, but
a mental image of it all will re-
i mam.
The country known as Israel in-
! chides the greater part of Pales
tine. west of the Jordan River. It
extends all the way from Lebanon
j in the north to the Gulf of Aquaba
(Gulf of Elalh) in the South. The
country of Jordan is primarily east
of the Jordan River, for the Arabs
have boon pushed back out of the
section west of the river, except for
a strip approximately thirty miles
wide and about ninety miles long
along the river and the Dead Sea.
Israel contains practically all of the
fertile plains, while the arid hills
remain in the possession of the
Arabs. There are approximately
600.000 refugees in camps. Some of
them have been able to secure jobs
and work in cities and villages, but
most of them are in idleness, chaf
ing under the sorrow and burden of
their fate One refugee is quoted as
saying. * We lost everything, and
time will not bring acceptance of
Israel's gunpoint thievery ” It is
quit disconcerting to some of them
to look across the barbed wire and
see others tilling their farms.
The problem existing between
these two countries is a serious one
that the United Nations will have
to handle It is hoped that a solu
tion will soon be found Will justice
come* Or. will politics and pres-
sure prevail" Peace need not be ex
ported until all concerned meet the
problem with the Christian prin
ciple of love—a sincere desire for

Pepsi-Cola Shows
New 'Swirl' Bottle
Pepsi-Cola has introduced a new
smartly-styled, swirl-shape bottle
for its popular 12-ounce size in Lau
rens County, according to Tom
Hartnesa, manager of the Pepsi
Cola Bottling Company.
Hie distinctive swirl-shape bottle
is available in handy six-pack car
tons at local retail outlets, from
coolers, and will also be incorporat
ed into Pepsi-Cola’s automatic vend
ing machine program. .
The new swirl-shape bottle was
introduced locally through a major
campaign fcaturnig t h e slogan.
‘ Pepsi Has the Light Look . . .
Pepsi Has the Swirl."
The PepsiCola executive* empha
sized that while the new bottle is
"all dressed up outside, it contains
the same formula light refreshment
‘that Americans and people the
world over have been enjoying at an
ever-increasing rate for years."
Commenting on the bottle’s un
usual swirl-shape design, Mr. Hart-
ness declared:
"The recent trend toward stay-
at-home entertainment has resulted
in new consumer habits that call for
oramatic revision of packing tech
niques aimed at meeting the chang
ing requirements of this areas’ high-
ly competitive soft drink marketing
structure."
The local Pepsi-Cola executive
pointed out that the new swirl-shape
bottle was designed to harmonize
with the finest of table settings.
"It’s slim, modern, sleek lines make
it an attractive part of any arrange
ment on a buffet, sideboard, party
table or refreshment tray.” •
‘The development of the new
"Light look and swirl-shape bottle’
is tbe result of several years of re
search and testing by Pepsi-Cola
Company designers. Its design and
distribution is another manifestation
of the Pepsi-Cola Company’s set
ting the pace in mdoern taste and
convenience. The new bottles dis
tributed in this area are manufac
tured by the Laurens Glass Works,"
Mr. Hartness added
