A. If you have a medium

more than 130 pounds. You
do have quite a lot to lose.
You will have to count
calories. Hold your daily in

mother tells me to exercise,
but I don't know which one
to take. I want to develop

A. Mild exercise will help
add pounds. 1t should not be
too strenuous. Swimming is
splendid for you. One of the
best calf developing exercises
is simply to rise high on the
toes and then lower the heels

HosU can Latin America cope ,cih this ne.o

Not with guns and tanks, let me emphasize. 1t
can only be done by wiping out the evils that pre-
vail in varying degrees in all Latin American
countries. Just think:
The per capita income in Peru is $ll9 a year.
And $l26 in Bolivia. That is less than the average
man in the United States earns in two weeks.
= In Ecuador fifth of per cent of the
people hold over one third of the land.
. Seventy per cent of the population Of Bolivia is
illiterate. And 90 per cent in Haiti.

Compare that with the 60 years of the us.

SAN JUAN. ?. r.


livery FREEDoM-LovINC PERSON in the United
States is worried today about how to halt the
spread of Cubantype revolution through Latin
America.
Let me make this clear. It's not the fact that
there was revolution in Cuba that has thoughtful
people concerned. That revolution was long over
due Rather it's the way that Fidel Castro has
needessly laid the Cuban revolution at the feet of
Soviet totalitarianism. l, for one in favor of
revolution in Cuba, including social revolution,
and | am convinced that even Castro himself
could have carried it out in terms of freedom and
friendship with the United States and the Western
world. 1t is tragic and quite unnecessary loss
that it did not take that course.
Meanwhile, it is obvious that agents of
Havana as well as Moscow are working together
for subversive purposes in every other Latin
American nation.
