In calling the conference Governor Pinehot wrote as follows:
"Reports of motor vehicle accident, in Pennsylvania as received
from motorists by the Department
of Revenue show that while the
number of street and highway accidents due to motor transportation
has been declining there is still too
big a toll each year in the number
of persona killed and injured.
"Street and highway accidents
concern each one of us. We can do
something about it. We have done a
great deal already. We can do more.
If we do not, better road's and high-
powered cars will speed up the killings. To meet this situation we must
take steps to reduce still further this
^killing and maiming of our men, women and children."

fter more then an hour. Bellwood was

BLOOMING   RHODODENDRONS
Now is the season to view Pennsylvania's most ornamental evergreen shrubs, the rhododendron, in
its full blooming glory according to
John W. Keilar, deputy secretary of
the Department of Forests and Waters, who has received reports of the
early appearance of its flowers from
various parte of the State.
Unlike the common mountain
taruel, which grows naturally in
great profusion along highways, the
rhododendron is a shrub of the wild-
woods. The place to find it in its
greatest beauty is in the mountain
sections of the State and along the
borders of the swamps and near
streams, where it often spreads over
extjen&rvie areas forming impenetrable jungles of great beauty.
Although the mountain laurel and
rhododendron belong to the same
botanical family, explained Keller,
it to simple to distinguish one from
the other. The leaves of the rhododendrons are usually twice as long
as those of the laurel and its flowers
are originally of a deep rose or
purplish color, whereas those of the
faurel are pink or white. Its sonor-
'ous name is derived from the Greek
which means "rose tree."
There are ten kinds of rhododendrons nativ* to North America,, but
only one to Pennsylvania which to
the rhododendron maximum.. Although the rhododendron is found
naturally throughout the State, it is
most abundant in the Poconos of
northeastern Pennsylvania .and in
so-called Black Forest region of
north-central Pennsylvania. The extensive rhododendron thickets which
