Editor's Note: Architect Frai.k
Lloyd Wright has announced plans
for a mile hit;h skysciaper The
: I'm ted Press sent a lepoitet to in
i terview Wright, and th- follow ing
is the first detailed description of
| the architect's .-ilmost unbelievable
: proposal.
By ALFRED LI7ECH
I'nited Pres.* Staff Correspondent
Sl'klNC (IKEEN. W - —
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright to-
tiay disclosed details of his pro-
posed mile hiyh sky.-ciaper, which
would "rise iike a lapier in tile
-kv" alio'.e ("hicago's lakefiont;
"It would be the eiirhth vender
of the world." he said "But it
would be as simple a- ABC"
The controversial. 87 ye.ir-o!d
architect was intei*. iewed at Ta-
l esin. his rambling, weatherbeat
en home on a wooded hill !n the
Wisconsin countrysid
Wright said his skysi taper would
be built of stain 1. >te[l and
■4lass. Elevators ou!d have t!u it
own individu.il motors powered by-
nuclear energy They would rise
on cogged tracks at a mile a mill
ute
The building would be a canti-
lever structure with a "taproot
foundation extending 1 ' oil feet b« -
neath the surface. The flooi-
would extend outward from a cen
tral steel and concivt> core, tike
limb from ■ tree trunk.
Thus Wright said, thi building
would be extremely light in weight
and low in cost, foe there would
be no ponderous, rectangular steel
skeleton
All this might sound visionary
to tire layman, and some people
think Wiight is indulging in an in-
tellectual prank and pulling tin
public's leg
But it seems real and logical
when the white maned Wright
le.ins over a drafting table and
points out the details with a slen-
der. steady forei'ingt r. '
Wright launched his mile high
project after a group of Chicago
an* came to him with a proposal
to build a skyscraper a half-mile
high.
'Why a h-tlf mile?' 'he asked
"Why not a mile?"
He suid the challenging concept
j of a skyscraper built like a Christ-
! mas tree on the cantilever princi
j pie is "nothing new "
"It's a shot I've had in my link
er for .1"< years." s.iid the father
of the modern ranch house.
Mrs. Spratt's room had it's re
gular Friday meeting. Tom Andei

i -ii order. A play was given by Ed

JENNY AND GEORGE
CROW lived in a big hollow
tree on the bank of a small
river. They had worked aw-
fully hard to build their nest.
Out sooi. after it was finished
and tilled with eggs, they dis-
covered they had a neighbor—
and not a very handsome one.
One morning they heard a
voice saying, "Hello, up there!"
When they looked down they
saw a large yellow snake sun-
ning himself under their tree
His name, he said, was Slimy-
Slimy the Serpent
He did not seem unfriendly,
but Jenny and George had
hei-rd that snakes sometimes ate
baby birds, and they knew they
would be in for trouble as soon
as their little ones were hatched.
"How long have you lived
down there in the bottom of
our tree?" George asked.
"I just moved in." Slimy said,
his beady eyes staring up at
them. "I thiak I am suing to
like it here, though.' He stuck
uut his long, forked tongue at
them, looking fur all the world
as if he were licking his lips.
. Jenny glanced over the edge
of the n#st and shuddered
"There were plenty of other
trees," she said. "Why did you
choose this one?"
"I had my reasons," Slimy
chuckled, leering up at her
w ickedly.
Jenny knew that the eggs she
was sitting on were di:e to hatch
in a few days. Fearing for the
safety of her little ones, she felt
that something must be done.
But what?
"How can we get rid of him?"
she asked, nervously.
"I'll find a way," George
promised. But his heart grew
heavy, as he thought of what
would happen if he failed. Hp
.-. as quiet for a long time. What
ti do! What to do! He put on
his thinking cap and thought
some more.
Then he fie-.v over to another
tree where he could think bet-
ter "Surely," he muttered to
himself, "there must be SOME
way out."
Suddenly he perked up. He
had thought of something.
• • •
THE NEXT DAY. when the
daughter of the farmer who
owned the tree came down to
rhe river to swim, George was
there. He perched on a nearby
tree and waited. First she re-
moved h'-r robe, folded it neat-
ly, and placed it under the tree.
#
Next she took off her shoes.
Then, before entering the
water, she removed the golden
locket which she always wore
on a chain around her neck and
| put it on top of her robe.
) This was the moment George
had been waiting her. As the
girl started her swim, he
swooped down, and, seizing the
locket she prized so highly, he
flew away with it. He carried
it to the hollow tree
dropped it inside.
and
NATl'RALLY. as soon as the
farmer's daughter fiuished her
sw im, she missed her locket
The poor girl searched every-
where. Of course she did not
find the locket. The more she
searched, the more frantic she
became. Finaliv, with tears in
her eyes, she gave up the search
and ret:«ncd to the house.
Georgt waited hopefully for
what seemed like hours. At last
his patience was rewarded. The
girl returned with her brothers
and sisters, and the farmer him-
self, and all joined in the
search for the missing locket
"Where on earth do you sup-
pose it could be'.'" George heard
somecne say. He felt sorry for ;
the girl, and because he was.
anxious for them to find the:
locket, he wanted to tell them
j where to look. But he couldn't
I do that, so he just sat and
waited.
"Have you looked in the hol-
low tree?" one of them said.
And another replied. "How
could it set in th?re. for good-
ness* sake?" But they looked
anyway, and suddenly one ot
the girls gave a frightened
squeal and almost fainted.
"It's a snake," she cried, "a
great big horrible yellow
snake!"
It A-as Slimy.
The farmer killed htm In-
stantly. And it was a good
thing he did, because Jenny's
eggs were beginning to hatch,
and another day might have
been too late.
The locket was found in the
hollow tree where George had
dropped it, and everybody went
home happy. But nobody was
more happy than Jenny and
George, who knew that their
babies would now be safe.

A little over a hundred years
ago Louis Braille invented a
system by which blind people
can read from raised charac-
ters by touching them with the
tips of their fingers.
lie saw the need for «uch a
system because he himself was
olind as a child in his Paris-
home.
He developed the method
from a punch system of code
night wiiting invented by a
Frcnch army captain He him-
seif taught it to many blind
people, and others have per-
fected it and made it world-
wide in use.
Today the largest publisher
of the "raille system of writing
is the Liorarv of Congress in
Washington, D.C. It publishes
nearly 200 books in Braille each
year. A carefully chosen com-
mittee selects the books to be
[ published, so as to give the
greatest help to the most
people.
Travel books are the most
popular. Perhaps those who
cannot see with their own eyes
can t: ke this way of seeing
through the eyes of others.
There are a few children's
maga. :nes which publish edi-
tions in Braille also, and of
course the various state schools
for the blind subscribe to all ot
thcin.
V.'e have had many distin-
guished nun and women who
were blind. Some have held
<cats in Congress. Some havt
become celebrated musicians
Others have shown ability in
ether occupations All of them
bless the memory of Louis
Braille, the man who made it
possible for them to read.
