Belgian Begonia, Take A Bow! Every gardonqr worth his green thumb is usually on quite friendly terms with that Latin threesome- — annual, biennial, and perennial. But often, he hasn't made the acquaintance of anoti."i backyard beauty-the tuber. Tubers-an %tstanding ex ample is the Belgian Begonia are characterized by a short fleshy underground, stem with tiny leaves, each hiding a mi nute bird. It is these buds which produce the flower and make the tuber so remarkably differ ent from any other plant. In stead of bloctming and dying within one short season, the Begonia tubtr blossoms all .summer long-year. after year, sifter year-provided they are properly rested indoors between seasons.

'*- '* -TJP The elaborate dessert is making a comeback after years of easy fix-it types, as homemakers realize how a regal dessert can be a royal treat. There's nothing more "ah-inspiring" than a lavish looking. luscious-tasting chocolate recipe. Americans are now discovering what Kurope sweet-toothers have known for a long time:-lick for lick, the chocolate from Belgium, whether ready-to eat candy or in liquid or block form for cooking purposes, can mi-an the difference between a merely good dessert and a really superior tasting one. Try making an appetite-whetting little mountain of cakelets topped with a creamy chocolate sauce that is tempting enough to make even the most dedicated dieter forsake the straight and narrow.

While the "care and feeding:" of Belgian Begonias is simple, the rewards can only be termed magnificent. With petals that range from four to four dozen, jewel-like hues, and textures that feel like silk or velvet, the scene is breathtaking. Isn't it time you met this talented tuber?

A Look at Nassau's Other Face-"Over the Hill" NASSAU, Bahamas There are two faces to this famous resort hard by the sea One is the face of business the hurried figures going about their work on Bay Street, the sound of taxis skittering thru crowded side streets and all the noises of city life, the other face is that of the native towns "over the hill," where time seems to run a little slow er, where the pace is easier and where the sounds of mel low Bahamian voices and rhythmic drums route the ga rish noises of the city. No tourist on a visit to Nas sau should go home without going "over the hill" to see how life is lived in communi ties that are throwbacki to older, easier days. The best time to go sightseeing, natur ally, is in the daytime when bright sunshiiM makes picture taking easy and the multitude of colors brighter. He will find the nearest communities. Grant's Town and Bain's Town, fascinatingly dif ferent. There are small, wood en dwellings, streets no larger By Jack Haber, Editor V The G.O. Scene Hair—A Lengthy Question How many times have you heard in your house "lf you don't cut that hair I'm going to.' . . ." followed by various pa fj. rental threats and growls. It ■ always seems that just when ' you've gotten v your hair to. the length you like, the nag flß ging starts. And even if your father doesn't personally escort yoij to the liarber, you usually wind up there anyway, watching miser ably while the clippings fatt on the floor. How to cope with this problem and keep the style you like? Find out what your parents dislike most about long hair. Do they Say it's not clean? Wash 'your hair every night. Do they think it's unattractive? Experi ment with several styles to see if you can come up with another -that buth you and your parents like. In most of the letters I get as editor of G.Q. Scene magazine from guys all over the country— the main parental objection against long hair is thai it isn-'t •neat. This is easily remedied. First, find a barber. Not your, father's-unless you want to come out with a haircut ju^-lik#-his* L>iot the barber you'v#%Bj, aince 'you were five eitKer who deals with a lot of guys your age and who knows what's hap pening. Then, explain to him that you want to leave your hair in the. same style but with the lines trimmed. If you tell him you want it kept close to the ear (thus, avoiding a bare-skin frame) and left full on the sides (so no scalp shows) you'll, have gotten the kind of haircut you want—neat 1 enough to please your parents. If all else fails—however—and j they still object to the length, j simply remind them that some of i our most famous men—Einstein,' George Washington, Carl Sand-) burg-never worried about hair-1 cuts. They had too much else I to do' 8/ Elizabeth Meehon, Sylvonia Lighting and Design Coordinator Beauty Bath The bathrooiji used to be the "forgotten room" of the house, but not anymore! These days, architects, engineers, and interior tfzmm'jS designers are H using some of their most cre ative ideas to Ws»> update this r lor~-neglected area. If you're con sidering doing a "make over" of your own, re- ' member that proper lighting is one of the basics for a room that | boasts comfort, convenience, and j beauty. To'get the most illumini- j nation from your lighting fix- i tures, start with walls, ceilings, and counter tops that are light in color. White, beige, Dale grey, and pastels give the oc results. But if your taste runs to strong, dark vtbrles, you can always use them as accent colors in shower, curtain, towels, or accessories. Light bulbs come in different colors, too, and care should be taken to select the propti shade. Fluorescent ttibes.in Sylvania's Natural White and Deluxe Warm White are recommended because they flatter the skin, giving it a warm vibrant appearance. They also eliminate the fear of using too much makeup—since they let you see yourself as otlters see you! Incandescent bulbs in Soft White arfr -also preferred for their soft, diffuse light. While general overhead light ing is a necessity, your good grooming needs require addi- j tional fixtures at the top and sides of the mirror. This will ' give the man of the house a good ' view for shaving, and his lady i will have sufficient light for I blending makeup and arranging j her hair. A dramatic way of ' providing such illumination is i with theatrical lights. Have 25- | watt bulbs mounted on strip fix tures around the miiror, and you're a Broadway star prepar ing for opening night. Forgotten room, indeed!

Market Street in Grant's Town and Blue Hill Road in Bain's Town are a little broader but both suburban communities were old before city planning was popular and the topographical confusion that resulted from thiis lack of planning is actually the main charm of these Baha mian villages. Old-time, residents say exist ence has changed but little in the last century. Houses still crowd the streets as if front yards were a menace. The women's costumes are gayer in these communities than they are in Nassau, often rivaling the bougainvillea and other flowering vines that cling to houses and fences. Grant's Town was founded in 1829 and got its name from Gen. Sir Lewis Grant, then governor of the Bahamas. It was settled by 370 Negroes res cued from a slave ship on the high seas. Bain's Town, named for a nearby residence, was set tled by freed Negro slaves who had come from the Gold Coast of Africa. Their descendants still reside in the little cottages that give this village its unique character. These towns, and other lo calities just beyond, are lump ed together in the phrase "over the hill." The reason is a sim ple one, tied directly to topo graphy.

VP Condemns Racism Policies In South Africa ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia-In a strongly worded speech before the Organization of African Unity on Saturday, January 6, Vice President Hubert Humphrey condemned the racism policies and practices of Southern Africa. The Vice President addressed the African leaders after a morning meeting with Ethiopian Emperor Haile Salassie 1. In his speech, Mr. Humphrey said, "We supported majority rule, human rights and self-determina tion throughout the world. We will not abandon them in the Southern sixth of Africa. "That commitment dictated our response when a white minority regime seized power in Rhodesia.
