(U.R When it comes to-regimented societies, no hard-working dictator has yet touched the honeybee. Dr. Stanlev E. Flanders, nro- fessor of biological control at the university of California s citrus experiment station here, said the bees' - society is so comrjletelv regimented it doesn't even need dictator. -Everything is automatic. The social organization nf bees, Dr. Flanders said, is built on a complex system of reflexes,. and year after year each brood of bees regulates ihe sex of the following brood. Even the aueen bee. desnite her vaunted reputation, is noth ing more than an egg-laying ma chine. Whether her eees will become male or female, bees is a matter of Hydrostatic pressure within the queen, Dr. Flanders said. She moves along over the wax cells built by the worker bee colony, depositing eggs as she goes, a function she can perform off and on for about four years. If the wax cell in which sh lays an egg is worker bee size, sne lays a fertilized egg. If it is one of the larger, drone size, sne lays on unfertilized egg, which becomes a male, or drone. She also drops fertilized eggs into the small number of extra large, queen-size cells and they hatch into aueens simnlv hprmw they are fed more and grow big ger.

Kenny United Press Staff Correspond. San Juan, P.R. U.P.) The remains of Juan Ponce de Leon, famed Spanish explorer who died in Havana, Cuba, 431 years ago this month, rests here in the Cathedral of St. John the Bap tist. . Although he perhaps is best remembered to the world for the discovery of Florida and his efforts to find a "fountain of youth" there, Ponce de Leon's name is linked intimately with this island. He was with Columbus when the admiral of Spain discovered Puerto Rico on Nov. 19, 1493. After some ten years in nearby Santo Domingo, Ponce de Leon was sent to conquer Puerto Rico and look for gold. In 1508 he established the first Christian settlement here named Caparra at a point across from what is now San Juan. In 1519 he became the is land's first governor. Buried in San Juan Some history students find considerable . irony in the fact that Ponce de Leon's final rest ing place is in San Juan where he refused to live rather than in Caparra. ' During his residence in Puerto Rico, Ponce de Leon was involved in several stormy is sues, including his right to be governor. The most persistent conflict and one on which Ponce de Leon was ultimately outvoted concerned the loca tion of the capital. His selection of the Caparra site apparently was unpopular from the beginning. Ponce de Leon was adamant and built a strong and imposing stone house for his family as evidence that he intended to stay in Caparra. Despite their leader's example other settlers constructed less permanent dwellings of wood and mud, presumably in the be lief they eventually would be moving. Referendum Wins As the controversy continued over the years, Ponce de LeonJ 1 A. -1. A - - royal order forbidding transfer of the settlement. In 1519 Span ish authorities approved the move to San Juan after a ref erendum possibly the first in the New World was held among the settlers. According to recent discover ies by historians of the U.S. Na tional Park Service, Ponce de Leon cast the only vote in favor of Caparra. Despite his over whelming defeat on the issue, he never lived in San Juan In 1513, .while searching for ' SPECTACULAR Giant Flowering Hardy HIBISCUS NOW IN BLOOM Choice Large Varieties of New Large Clematis NOW IN BLOOM LEWIS NURSERY Old Stage Road North of City Limits of Jacksonville DOORS k V V (""""y1 ALL I open J 1 1 1 n n I SEATS 1 11:30 i 1 J V I Ik J 7C 1 SATURDAY MIDNITE SENSATIONAL -'.T SHOW IBTUimiLIESdpiDIE on the suKttm a Attract UNIT 2 !LUL00NFSSlick ChiCkS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEH a lengendary land called "Bim ini," he had discovered Florida but the marvelous fountain with the youth-giving waters could not be found. .Nevertheless, Ponce de Leon was named governor of Florida by King Ferdinand, who also conferred other titles and hon ors on him during Ponce's visit to Spain in 1514. Back to Florida Back in Puerto Rico in 1515, he found himself in the middle of various controversies includ ing growing opposition to the Caparra site. The final ruling in favor of a move to San Juan possibly play ed an important part in Ponce de Leon's decision to undertake a new expedition to Florida in 1521. He was badly wounded in a battle with - Florida Indians and was taken to Havana, where he died in June of that year. He was buried in Havana but in 1559 his grandson brought his remains to San Juan. They were transferred to the cathe dral in 1909. ' . The ruins of Ponce de Leon's house can still be seen in Cap arra. Authorities have considered transferring his remains - to the Caparra he loved so well the conquistador's five-century - old bones might rest more peaceful ly there. But so far nothing has been done about it. There are 17 known effective methods of artificial respiration, or the artificial promotion of normal breathing in one appar ently dead. . !Q VIMow!
