What Is the sun?

The sun, the controlling
body of our solar system, is
actually a star whose dimen-
sions cause it to be classified
among stars as average in size,
temperature and brightness.
It's proximity to the earth
makes it appear to us as ire
mendously large and bright.

FOR FAST RESULTS
MAN A BRICK
TN HIS STOMACH
FOR 10 YEARS

One man said that for 10
years he felt like he had a
brick in his stomach, due to
undigested food he always
had inside of him. Recently
he started taking VIII. and
says the ''brick-feeling" dis
appeared. Now he is like a
new man, eats anything.
VIII. is a new, scientific
formula. 1t is taken before
meals and works with your
food. 1t not only relieves gas;
it also gives the bowels a
great cleansing; it brings out
impurities that cause head
ache, foul breath, coated
tongue and worn out feeling.
Miserable people soon feel
better all over. So don't go on
suffering! Get VIII. at all
leading Drug Stores.

mune from criticism, or that
we personally support all its
decisions. We do not. Some Of
its decisions we cannot under
stand. We hope the day never
comes when we cannot criti-
CHE either a local, state or
national court - or Sen. East
land.
But we can question and
criticize the court without i'm
pugning the character and
patriotism of the men who
sit on the bench and who are,
without exception, dedicated
public servants. The same
may be said Of all the justices
who sit on the u. S. Supreme
Court. Certainly they are not
traitors to our country.
Many people today wonder
why Americans supposedly
are not as patriotic" as we
used to be, why it is that the
public generally seems not to
show the proper appreciation
for the American flag, our
courts, laws and other insti-
buttons long held sacred.
We believe that irresponsi-
BILE criticism of our courts and
other institutions have aided
materially in undermining
public confidence in our
courts and system, and in our
American way of life. And
that is not good.
To be noted was the fact
that Senator John Stennis did
not join in Senator Eastland's
criticism of the court. He
merely upheld Sen. Eastland's
right to criticize the court, as
do we.
But criticism should be con-
structive and for a good pur-
pose, not on an arbitrary set
of rules we write ourselves,
as Sen. Eastland did.
And we have not said any
thing here that we have not
already said to friend Jim's
face.

Mistake in Peru

The latest news reports from Peru
leave no room for doubt that our Gov
eminent has every reason to reconsider
and quickly-its extraordinarily swift,
harsh and unprecedented action against
the anti-Communist military junta that
has seized power there.
Speaking for ourselves, we have re-
garded this action Suspension Of diplo-
matte relations and an abrupt cutoff
of Sorely needed economic add as a
highly dubious thing from the start
an action that has put the United States
in the position of intervening with a
hard fist in, the internal affairs Of one
OF its traditional hemisphere friends.
And now, in view of what the correspon-
dents are reporting from Lima, it seems
clear that the State Department and
President Kennedy have moved much
too precipitately in this matter and that
they would be well advised to reScind
the punitive measures they have taken.
1t seems amply evident, in any case,
that the junta's program to data
program designed to meet peculiarly
complex and difficult electoral situa-
tion-fallS far short of being "a serious
setback" to democracy, as charged last
week in hastily drafted and quite
unperSuaSive White House statement.
Actually, the military regime in Lima
has pledged itself to maintain the fun
damental freedoms, and 1t is faithfully
living up to that pledge, judging from
the news dispatches. Thus, apart from
its S0-day suspension Of the right of
assembly, the junta is upholding all
constitutional rights, including freedom
OF the press. Moreover, the Imprisoned"
President Prado is living comfortably
under kind of "arrest"-aboard naval
vessel, and his release is expected mo-
mentarily.
AS for the Peruvian people in gen.
eral, they apparently have not been
greatly upset or agitated by the military
coup. On the contrary, assuming that
they are not politically apathetic, they
have reacted to the event in way sug-
costing that they are not particularly
opposed to the new regime, but may in
fact be favorably disposed toward it.
This may be the basic reason why the
leftist APRA (the American Popular
Revolutionary Alliance) has failed, on
massive scale, to win popular backing
among the workers for general strike
to protest against the junta's coup. So
it seems to us that there is no popular
sentiment in Peru that justifies the
kind of action our Government has
taken.

days, because Uncle Sam has put him
on social security. Be that as 1t may,
Bert's philosophy Is more intriguing
than his economies.
Bert feels, for example, that leisure"
Is one Of the great words In the English
language, and when he reached so he
simply decided to have plenty Of it. He
enjoys 1t most while reading, and his
two-room cabin in the Great Smokes
has 2,000-book library and a fine
supply Of newspapers and magazines.
His reading matter, in fact, costs more
than his food and clothing, and he gets
his exercise by raising his own fruits
and vegetables.
Some "egg-head" visitor told Bert
that II everybody lived as thriftily SIT
would wreck the economy of our coun-
try almost overnight" Bert allows as
how that is not his problem, and we
sort Of envy his attitude toward it all.

Simple Solution

Nathaniel Owings, the chairman Of
the committee Of nationally prominent
architects and planners which will pro-
pose standards for the future develop
ment Of Pennsylvania Avenue, has
sounded an optimistic note in hoping to
develop "a solution so simple that there
will be no disagreement about putting
it into effect"
We think he is right. For there is
no essential disagreement on the goals
OF the study. The portion of the avenue
OF concern to the committee is the sec
ton between the Capitol and the White
House, the historic ceremonial parade
route Of the Presidents. In the course
OF their deliberations, we hope that
these experts devote some time to plan
for handling traffic, which today, as
thousands Of motorists know, Is an I'M
holy mess. Their major attention, how
ever, will be on rehabilitation of the
rundown north side Of the avenue,
where diversity Of architectural types
OF private and public buildings is ex-
pected to be proposed to harmonic
with, but by no means to duplicate, the
phalanx Of Government structures
which flank the south side Of the street.
The national Importance of Penn
Sylvania Avenue fully juStifies the care
which the White House has taken in
the selection of authorities in the field
Of civic design from all parts Of the
country. The fact that the appoint
ments were made swiftly, and that the
committee already has held its first
meeting in Washington, is another en-
couraging reflection of the direct inter-
est which President Kennedy has taken
in various improvements of the Nations
Capital.

New and Safer Hiqhwoys

The Virginia State Highway De-:
partment's announcement Of plans for
early completion Of interstate express
ways between Washington and points
deep within Virginia is good news to
motorists who travel southwark or west
ward. The going is rough right now,
with so many detours in the areas of
construction, but the end result will be
ample recompenSe for today's incon-
venienceS.
The worst bottlenecks at present
are at the Woodbridge intersection Of
Shirley Highway and U. s. and fur
ther south on U. s. /, in the Dumfries
area. But the Slowed-down motorists
can see the major structures being built
for the extended Shirley Highway (Route
95), which is under construction all the
way to Richmond. Once this express
way is ready, traffic on heavily con-
gested U. S. will be materially reduced,
with an expected reduction of accidents
on the hazardous old highway. U. s.
has the grim distinction of being Vir-
ginia's most deadly highway.
The other project of special interest
to Washington is Route Sc, the new ex-
pressway that will connect Rosslyn with
Winchester and the western portions
of the State. This throughway also will
serve as the main link between the
Dulles Airport access highway and
Washington. When the new roads are
completed the motorists of the Wash
ington area will be able to travel faster
and safer than has been possible on
existing outmoded highways of Northern
Virginia.
