Work Halted on
$12 Million Center
' San Rafael, Calif.-IUPll-The
Marin County Board of Super
visors Wednesday voted to
hall work on the $12 million
Marin County Civic Center,
one of the final works of the
;jate architect Frank Lloyd
Wright.
The center, as envisioned by
Wright, was a large complex
of buildings built among roll
ing hills and over water here.
A matter of local controversy
from the beginning because of
its high cost, the supervisors
ordered work to be stopped on
the project by a 3-2 vote.
Construction on the first
phase of the center has been
under way for a year and
was to be completed in about
another year.
The board planned to in
vestigate the possibility of
completing the buildings ac
cording to new plans for use
as a county hospital.
Jl Aaron Green, an architect
With the Frank Lloyd Wright
foundation, said it would be
difficult to change the buildings-designed
to house county
government offices-to a hos
pital. 'The center had been the
only one of the controversial
builder's plans ever accepted
jjy a government body.

If I were an 1 1-year-old
English schoolboy, I might be
looking forward to a good
prep school.
I've taken a test in the Sat
urday Evening Post which is
given to 11-year-old English
schoolboys to see which ones
are smart enough to go to a
university prep.
Those who don't pass, ac
cording to the Post, are sent
instead to an "ordinary
school, from which they are
thrust out, at age 15, into the
harsh British economy.
I found the test a snap, rath
er, although it's been a few
years since I was 11.
For example, one of the
questions tested one's ability
to decipher code, spelling a
word in numbers correspond
ing to the letters of the alpha
bet, to-wit:
2, 9, 4, means. . .bigbitaid
bidbin.
The second letter of the al
phabet, of course, is b. So your
first letter here is b. Right?
To find the second letter, I
merely counted my fingers,
beginning with the little fin
ger of the left hand and count
ing to the fourth finger of the
right hand.
At that point my answer, of
course, was the number .
However, I quickly realized
that what was required was
not the number of fingers
necessary to reach the number
9, but the letter of the alpha
bet one would reach by count
ing by letters (a, b, c and so
on) and stopping at the count
of 9.
However, in order to know
when one has counted to 9, as
suming one is counting by let
ters, it is necessary to count
simultaneously in letters and
numbers, in this manner-a-1,
b-2, and so on.
Using this technique, I de
termined that the second let
ter of the test word was, of
course, i.
Counting again from the
left, and not forgetting this

97 and
O o
O
time to count both by letter
and by number, I discovered
that the third letter was d
thus completing the word.
In case you plan to take the
test yourself I won't weaken
the validity of your score by
telling you what the word
was.
I've explained the method
of solution here at some
length. It was in no mood of
vanity. I merely intended to
show the complexity of ratio-
cination involved in what may
seem to be the simplest prob
lem. It s a situation faced by
theoretical mathemat i c i a n s
every day.
Let's take another problem,
one that asks something more
of the schoolboy than mere fa
cility with letters and num
bers.
In this one, five men (A, B,
C, D and E) each live on one
floor of a five-story house. B
lives two floors above A and
one floor below D. E lives
one floor below A. The ques
tion: Who lives one floor up?
The solution requires imag
ination and ability to think in
the abstract as well as verti
cally. By turning the hand
sideways one may imagine
that each finger is a floor.
I tried this. I was able to
imagine that each finger was
a floor, but I couldn't remem
ber which floor which finger
represented.
. . .
I shut my eyes and ap
proached the problem as a
pure abstraction. However,
with my eyes shut I was un
able to read the problem and
couldn't remember which
floor B occupied in relation to
A.
I finally hit upon the idea
of using the World Book En
cyclopedia. I got out the A, B,
C, D and E volumes and
stacked them one upon the
other. Then I rearranged them
until I found who lived one
floor up.
While this method was suc
cessful in my case, it may not
be of general value, not every
11-year-old English boy hav
ing an encyclopedia at hand.
I can't help thinking that if
I were only 30 years younger
I might go to Eton with the
Prince of Wales.

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
(neglster and Tribune syndicate,
1961)
There is a certain variety
of bee that is very particular.
She demands and will use no
other leaf than that from a
rose bush. For some peculiar
reason she insists on cutting
disks from rose leaves for her
specific purpose.
Look at a rose bush some
time, examine it carefully;
the chances are you will find
leaves with a perfectly circu
lar notch cut out of some
section. In some individual
leaves there may be several
round holes cut out by the
aptly named "leaf cutter" bee.
The holes are usually about
one-half to three-quarlers of
an inch in diameter.
You arc mistaken if you
think the bee eats the section
she so carefully cuts out; she
doesn't. She uses the little
section in the construction of
her nest. Each piece is car
ried away in her mouth to
become a cradle or a nursery
for the egg she will later de
posit in the little leaf-envelope.
Smaller Than Honey Bee
The "leaf - cutting" bee is
slightly smaller than a honey
bee, with a large head and a
shiny black or metallic blue
body. There may be at tunes
few finely drawn white
lines across the abdomen. She
has a long tongue and a pair
of sharp, scissor-like mandi
bles that can snip out a thrae
quarter section of leaf in less
than 10 seconds.
As soon as the cut is made
and the little round section is
free, the bee takes it in her
mouth and "high-tails" for
home." Home may be in a
hollow plant stem or under
ground in a burrow, or even
in an unused key-hole in an
a b a n d o n ed building. But
wherever it is, the bee takes
there only a section of rose
leaf.
Carefully she pulls the two
outer edges of the leaf to
gether, making a tiny, thim
ble-like receptacle and gluing
the edges with saliva from her
mouth. She may fashion a
dozen or even a score of these
compartments, placing them
end to end. Then she surveys
her work; finds it good, and
flics away again on another,
but different, mission.
No Interest
This time she is not interest
ed in rose leaves; she is hunt
ing for flowers. Fervently she
gathers pollen, carrying it
back to the empty cells. Into
each leaf-cell she crams a full
load, almost filling the cap
sule.
When they are all full, she
begins at the first one and in
rapid succession, lays a single
egg in each. When all the
receptacles have had her at
tention, she carefully closes
the open ends of each cell.
When the eggs hatch and
the tiny bee larvae crawl
from their leathery husks, an
ample supply of vitamin-rich
pollen is waiting for them.
There is always enough to
give lliem t h e necessary
strength to push through the
now fragile rose-leaf cell and
emerge into the world of sun
shine.
A few moments in the open
air and their gauzy wings
harden: they fly away, limit
ing for rose bushes from
whose leaves Ihey can cut
circular pieces to make little
leaf -crypts for their own
babies. Thus the wheel re
volves, circling endlessly
through succeeding genera
tions of leaf-cutting bees, and
always in step with the limit
less procession of living in
sects.
