The Postmaster General's of-
fice in Brisbane, Australia, was
inundated with inquiries from
indignant telephone subscribers
asking why their telephone ac-

They were all puzzled and
very annoyed.
It was explained that the

The vital organs of- the body
become sick and die in one of
two ways: either the cells making
up these organs become injured
and die although adequately
supplied with blood, or healthy
cells die because the arteries
bringing the blood to them have
beccme clogged.
In our society, the second way
of dying is most common n Obit-
uary writers usually refer 'only
'to the immediate event, perhaps

The problem is similar to that
of 'the plumbing in a ho-use, In
order to keep a good flow of
water, we must have a reason-
able head of pressure. In the
body this head of pressure is
supplied by the heart; we record
it as blood preesure.
If the pressure head is too
high in one's household plumb-

Wall in The Christian Science
Monitor,
Worked. Too Hard
John Marshall, a e5-year-old
German immigrant, tried his
best making piston rings in a
British engineering plant. His
best, it turned out, was too good.
Last month, Marshall was scorn-
ed by his workmates, joblese,
and branded for life as "the man
who worked too hard."
All the workers at the Shef-
field plant of Lockwood and
Carlisle, Ltd., had agreed among
themselves to limit their piece-
work output to 70 cents' worth
per hour — all, that is, except
Marshall. •
The immigrant turned out as
many pistons as he could, and
the weekly paycheck he tobk
home to his wife and daughter
was regularly about $1 more
than that of the other workers.
That started the trouble.
Summoned before a kangaroo
court run by the engineering
union's Communist-dominated lo-
cal branch, Marshall was found
guilty of overwork. The branch
ordered him to give his "excess"
earnings, to its sick fund. He re-
fused; the union booted him out.
That meant dismissal from the
closed-shop factory.
Solne 700,000 British mine-
workers, whose man-hour pro-
duction has been slipping, last
week demanded a reduction in
surface workers' 421/2 -hour work
week, already one of the shortest
in Europe. In hard-worker John.
Marshall's native Germ any,
which has been capturing many
British markets, West German
Economics Minister Ludwig Er-
hard told labor unions they
should up their average 45-hour
week by another hour.

Getting Ready To
• Sail The Ocean.
Sid Mashford Was sitting in
the cockpit at Felicity Ann leaf-
ing through a list of modifica-
tiO.ns that Humphrey had made
out, • •
"There's .a lot of work here,"
Said Sid, "and this is our busi-
est time of year. Vreryone wants

IS necessary?"

things a man is more sensitive
about,, than, the qualities, of his
,,`boat. Humphrey had sent speci-
"fications; out' ley the firm
of Laurent Giles for `entirely
new rigging "as the mast is
stepped on dedk we, cannot take
any chane'ds," Humphrey had
written and' drawings 'for a
reduced 'sail plan;' which meant
taking six feet .off the mast and
eight inches of the boom, There
was to be a watertight ,and self-
draining cockpit, A twenty-five
gallon water tank fitted under
the cockpit. A spray hood for
the protection of the helmsman.
There were drawings too, for
high steel stanchions, "anything
less than thirty inches is use-
less," stated Humphrey empha-
' tically. These were for lifelines
to keep the crew (me) within
bounds, and a pulpit to fence in
the stemhead and prevent the
crew (me) from plunging head-
leng over the bows. There were
further drawings for two beau-
tiful staysails, twin sails for
running/downwind, with appro.
peiate specifications for the
booms' to wing them out, and
stays to hank them on, and top-
ping lifts to support the booms.
They were, I could see, some-
what exaggerated requirements
for anyone apparently just
wanting a splash and a bobble
in the sound on a sunny Sunday
afternoon.

IR WINSTON'S WORK — Reproduced below are two of a col-
tectiOn of 35 paintings by Sir Winston Churchill which will be
. shown to American audiences for the first time in a tour of'art
museums during 1958. Churchill is not a professional artist and
has never sold any of his paintings, but in the opinion of most
art authorities and laymen, who have viewed his work, he is
a versatile and extraordinarily skilled amateur. Churchill be-
gan to paint as a diversion in 1915 after he was forced to
relinquish his post as First Lord of the Admirality following
British failure to seal off the Black Sea in their ill-starred
Dardanelles campaign. From 1916 through 1957, Churchill paint-
ed some 300 canvases, most of which he has kept.. His paint-
ings include landscapes and seascapes painted on three con-
tinents, a number of still lifes, and one work entitled "Bottle-
*cape," and arrangement of wine and liqueur bottles. glasses
and what appear to be cigar boxes.

The plumbing in a house will
last for a 'variable number of
years, depending on the kinds of
pipes originally installed and on
the properties of the water cir-
culating through.them : Various
types of materials dissolved or
suspended in the water will have
an effect on the bore of the pipes,
and will be one factor in deter-
mining how long the pipes re-
main open.
These same variables are pres-

vessel' in our body 'is a function
of heredity. In certain families,
blood vessel disease is nearly un-
heard of until very- old age; In
others, many die from stopping
up of the arteries before the age
of 50. The composition of the
of the blood also has an effect
on the blood vessel walls.
