GROWING BEGONIAS Among the different forms of begonias, there is a manyflowered type grown in hanging baskets. Dormant tubers of these showy begonias are already available in some garden supply stores now. This means they are avai lable for itchy green thumbs to start them on their way to flowering size. So, start them early indoors. It takes two to three months for them to reach flowering size, so indoor forcing is essential. Plant them about half an inch deep in a mixture of leaf mold, peat moss and vermiculite or sand. Place the tubers with the concave side up and keep them moist and at room temperature. Roots soon form and pointed hairy green shoots soon emerge. When the second pair of leaves appear, transplant the begonia into a soil mixture of equal parts garden loam, peat moss and coarse sand. Place them in bright light - full sun if possible - and keep them growing but don't move them outside until all danger of frost is past. Water begonias regularly when outside, keep the soil moist and allow good air circulation. They bloom all summer and need feeding occasionally with complete fertilizer.

Produced in documentary style, replete with color charts, visual animation, movie stills, newspaper and newsreel clips the film is designed primarily for teenage audien^Cs in high schools, youth organizations, camps and other young people's groups. "A Breath of Air" opens on a happy note with scenes depicting the joys of good health, but soon takes up the challenge to our physical well-being caused by cigarette smoking. The skyrocketing growth in the popularity of cigarettes from (the turn of the century to today1 is dramatically compared with today's soaring rate of deaths from lung cancer and heart disorders. "It is the shocking fact," the film's narrator points out, "that the greatest single preventable cause of death today is cigarette smoking!" An historic letter sent by the American Cancer society and other national health agencies to President Kennedy in 1961 requested a commission be named to protect the public health is noted in the film. "A Breath of Air" salutes the growing list of national magazines which refuse to carry cigarette advertising in their pages. To date, these are the New Yorker, Saturday Review, Reader's Digest, Parents Magazine, Good Housekeeping and Seventeen. TOLLWAY DEATH RATE A 1967 fatajity rate of 1.1 per 100 million" motor vehicle miles driven the second lowest in the Illinois state' toll highway commission's history, was reported by Donald R.
