Explanations of his early experiences in growing up, the origins of his highly publicized skill at oratory, his involvement with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the disap pointments and triumphs of his presi dential campaigns are clearly docu mented in an understandable format.

The [d passes around the celestial ere (the sky) extending about nine rees n either side of the ecliptic. It •efore also includes the yearly path the moon and the orbits of the lets. A constellation is a group of stars ; today is defined as the boundaries iblished by the International Astro- nical Union (lAU) in 1930 along s.of right ascension (longitude) 1 declination (latitude). This is like boundaries of the States in this ntry. Originally the constellation had fixed limits, but were groups of s considered by early civilizations ie within the imagined outlines of mythological heroes, creatures, I other forms. The ancient Greeks ided the band of stars that the sun ves through into 12 parts, each 30 trees wide, known as the 'signs of zodiac.' If we plot the position of the sun among the background stars each day, we find it is moving steadily through later, at the beginning of May, the sun has moved easterly into Aries the Ram, and the anti-sun point to the By EDWARD A. ALLEN slowly changing. When the original system of astrological 'signs' was established a few thousand years ago it was correct, but things have changed considerably since those days. One way to locate the true posi tion of the sun at present is to move back on constellation when reading an astrological table while keeping the same date.

Practically it is hard to locate the sun among the stars, because when the sun is visible the stars are not. But one way around this is to notice each evening what star group is rising exactly opposite the sunset point. The anti-sun point will be found to move eastward through the stars at about one degree per day, and hence the sun itself moves in this same way. The annual path of the sun is the ecliptic. The constellations that are centered on the ecliptic are called the 'zodiac.' On the 1st of April the sun lies in the constellation of Pisces the Fishes. The opposite zodiacal constellation, rising in the east at sunset on this date, is Virgo the Virgin, A month •ay in the Park set for High Point Whether it's toe-tapping tradi- lal country music, delightful chil- n's entertainment or cool jazz.
