—To Do What?
The X15, the United Skates'
fantastic rocket plane, swept out
of the sky at the unbelievable
speed of 4,070 miles an hour .in
another test of the research craft
at all-out throttle
While• the rocket plane is an
edge -of -space vehicle, it is still
a plane rather than a rocket so
that while the speed isn't as fast
as the missiles and space ve-
hicles it is certainly the fastest
aircraft in the world.
That type of speed would take
you from New Yorle to Washing-
ton in three minutes or from
New York to Los Angeles in just
over half-an.hour.
It wasn't so many years ago
when man was reaching speeds
of 400 miles per hour in racing-
type airplanes. Today the speed
Is 10 times as great.
The engineers do not plan to
push the speed of the X15 any
further, but the, next test is an
altitude approach with a hoped
for height of 250,000 feet or
nearly 50 miles high, Eventually,
the designers believe the X15
may go as high as 100 miles or
into the edge of space and back.
In the test the left wind -shield
of the plane shattered as pilot
Bob White was bringing the
craft in for a landing. At the
time of the shattering, the plane
was going about 1,500 m,p,h, at
about 70,.000,feet.
In discussing the incident,
White said "The shattering was
probably due to thermal -heat -
expansion and contraction of the
windshield frame. Modification '
may be necessary. The outside
temperature was probably 50 de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit and
air friction heats the ship's skin
to 1,000 degrees or more."
You cannot compare the test
version of the X15, an experi-
mental aircraft, with conven-
tional jet planes, yet it does ap-
pear to be the forerunner of vast
n e w• achievements in aviation
transportation.
At the moment there doesn't
seem to be any good, reason to
spend more money to make
planes fly faster, but the suc-
cessful operations of the X15
will undoubtedly lead to new
advances in air transportation.
Already you can fly from
coast to coast in about five hours
In a. commercial jet airliner, but
in the years ahead such times
will be considered slow and the
speed crafts will be crossing the
country in times now reserved
for the fastest military aircraft.
Actually, it is somewhat diffi-
cult to comprehend any first -
r ate reason for commercial
planes to fly faster than they do
today, considering the waste
lime from airports to destina-
tions.
However, man has been in a
hurry throughout civilization
and there is no reason to believe
that he will be content to slow
down in the years ahead. Per-

haps, instead he will seek to
surpass the speed of the X15.
We are living in an era where
time is exceedingly valuable It
is rated in terns of man hours
of production or manufacturing'
capability or just as the thing
to do.
It really doesn't make much
difference whether you are driv-
ing in an automobile or attempt-
ing to build a house or read a
book, there is a compelling urge
to do it faster.
Such a hectic pace has not
only created a lot of waste, but
it also seems to have warped
our judgment in many fields.
The pressure of speed, of
course, must be better related
to men's activities in all seg-
ments of society, It isone thing
to have an experimental plane
flying at 4,000 m.p.h. or• an elec-
tronic computer solving a ma-
thematical problem in • seconds
compared to days of individual
efforts, but to think that we
must move faster and do every-
thing quicker is a horrible mis-
conception.
There is Some pretty good evi-
dence that many of our mental
health problems are complicated
by this strange senseof rushing
to get nowhere or to do nothing.
We might be far better off to
spend more time in contempla-
tion and less time in action.
It may be a superfluous corol-
lary to relate the flight of an
extraordinary experimen-
tal plane to the antics of man,
but it seems rather pertinent as
an example of the times.
Must we expedite everything
because we are able to achieve
so much? We don't think so.
Certainly, there is a place for
faster action and greater speed
in our modes of transportation.
But we should somehow attempt,
to regulate what should be done
fast and what can be done mo-
derately.
Rather than trying to keep
pace with the X15, we would be
much better off if we could
make better use of our time, an
accomplishment much easier
achieved by thought than haste.

Winston's Nephew
Spins Fine Yarn
It is ne mean feat for a writer
to keep attention on himself
when the other leading character
in his book is Sir Whiston
Churchill. But this trick is per-
formed by Sir Winston's nephew
John Spencer Churchill, 52. His
autobiography, "A Churchill
Canvas" is full of Uncle Win-
ston, but also manages to beguile
the reader with J.S,'s own com-
plete set of high spirits and ec-
centricities,
The son of Uncle Winston's
military brother, Major "Jack"
Churchill, the bald and breezy
T.S. often stayed as a child at
Blenheim, the gigantic Maribor-
ough family palace, where Uncle
Winston was born. Here J,S. was
particularly impressed by a huge
stuffed lion, in the great hall,
which gave vent to a roar upon
the pulling of a cord attached to
its navel, At Harrow, J.S. was
chiefly notable as an acrobat, and.
at Oxford he belonged to a dash-
ing club which made a specialty
of luxurious railway joy rides.
He enlivened his early social life
with •a terrifying practical joke:
His acrobatic skill allowed him
to plunge Suddenly over high
balustrades (hanging on, how-
ever, while the air stili' echoed
with shrieks), In trailing his first
love through Europe, he develop-
ed the use of a false mustache
as a disguise, against her chap-
eron, and in a later amour he
found similar value in a false
beard.
From his youth, J.S. was musi-
cal and artistic, and he became
a mitral painter with, confessed-
ly, no personal style but much
facility in adapting classic and
traditional manners. He has had
four wives, all beauties in their
photographs, and each represent-
ing a, markedly different experi-
ence.(one, for instance, left him
for a French count, and another
stirred many religious issues).
He writes, about them all pun-
gently and sympathetically.
.I1 seems somehow characteris-
tic' of T,S.'s whole bizarre career
that when he left .Spain during
the Civil War, the boat bore evi-
dence of the South American
white -slave traffic, in the form
of a cage for the girls. Further,
when he applied for the British
camouflage service during World
War iI, the first three officers he
encountered were all deaf. Ulti-
mately, he made 'himself under-
stood, and engaged in brave and
vivid frontline service during the
fall of France. He made two
drawings of the Dunkirk evacua-
tion—"probably theonly authen-
tic . ones" by an artist who was
on the scene.
Uncle Winston was obviously
proud of him. J.S. states frankly
that the Churchill -in -chief has
always regarded him and his old
playmate, Uncle Winston's son
Randolph, es "children," If J.S.
deserves the term, he is certainly
a mischievous youngster who has
added color and high jinks to a
family album,

How Can 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. How can I rehabilitate lea-
- shoes that have been out of
service for a long time, or dried
out after a thorough wetting?
A. Rub the surface of the lea-
ther with half a raw potato be-
fore polishing the shoes. This will
help them take a good gloss.
Q. Do you have any tip on
how to avoid so much spillage
when carrying freshly -filled ice -
cube trays from the sink to the
refrigerator?•
A. Try placing an empty glass
upside down on the centre of the
tray. Don't ask me WHY this
works so beautifully — it just
does!
Q. What can I do if niy ball-
point pen begins skipping and
seems to have lull out of ink
sooner than it should?
A. Try heating it by holding
the point for a minute against a
lighted eledtric light bulb. This
has the effect'of softening the ink
which may have hardened inside.
Be careful about this process,
however, since too much heat
might soften the plastic case of
your pen,
