most Lebanese he is sick and tired of the civil war He wants only to be left alone to know that he and his family need not fear violerit death and to make enough money to live on His particular problem and that of most of the people in fstring of villages on the road between Sidon and Jezzine is that they are Maronite Chris tians in an area controlled by the mainly Moslem left wing and its Palestinian allies Until the Syrians marched westwards from Jezzine to Wards Sidon two months ago the war had scarcely touched this area The villages had caused no trouble No one posseSSed more than small arms for selfde fence and the inhabitants were left to scratch living from the chalky mountain soil as they had always done SYRIANS INTERVENED Then came the Syrian inter cacti Last month the Syrians with drew about 12 miles and the Palestinians and leftists re turned Some of those who had coop erated with the Syrians followed them eastwards Others moved to east Beirut or to other areas under Christian control Those who could not af ford to leave or did not want to stayed put There were no reports of any one being killed or maltreated by the returning leftists though some people were detained for questioning about their collabo ration with the Syrians Though the Syrians have gone the war is not far away few miles east of the village an estimated 300 Syrians and few rightists were exchanging shell and machinegun fire with lef tist fighters SOUGHT IMPROVEMENTS Abu Moussa commander of the Palestinian forces in the area said his side had tried to improve the supply of water men

Moussa said there had been no trouble Not only were Christian and Moslem villagers coexisting in peace he said but his own for ces included men of both re ligions But many of the houses were shuttered and silent and the main streets often had the un naturally empty look of seas ide resort in winter At present all the villagers object to is the presence of ar med men lounging at roadside cafes
