The natural gas will also be used for industry, the Gas Coun- cil said in announcing the pipe. line contracts have been award- ed. A $25,000,000 distribution sys• tem of some 325 miles of pipeline will carry the methane gas from Canvey Island on the Thames es- tuary to most of England via lo• Cal distribution centers. Work on special crossings of !roads, river, and railways is to begin later this year, and it is expected the lnain stretches will be tested between March and De- eember, 1963, The main pipeline -- about 18 inches in outside diameter — will run from Canvey to a point north of Birmingham. It will then turn north to a terminal near Leeds, a distance of some 200 miles, The imported natural gas is to be liquefied in a plant at Port .Arzew, on the Mediterranean, af- ter travelling 250 miles by pipe- line from a natural gas field at Bassi R' Mel, in the Sahara, Liquefying the gas, at a tem- perature of minus 258 degrees F. reduces the space it occupies to I/600 of its original volume, the Gas Council says. The gas will remain in liquid form in insulated tanks through- out its voyage to Canvey Island. It will come in specially con- structed vessels, one of which is being built in the Barrow yard of Vickers - Armstrong, and the other by Harland and Wolff at Belfast writes Melita Knowles in the Christian Science Monitor. The decision to undertake this measure was challenged in the preliminary stages by Lord Ro- bens, chairman of the National cal Board, and by the minework- ers, on the ground it might hold back the manufacture of cheap gas from home -mined coal by the Lurgi process, These Miners Dig For Ladybirds Best-known of the little beetles 3niown as ladybirds is the one with seven black spots on a scar- let ground. But there are also ladybirds with two, four, ten, thirteen and twenty-two spots. They are all luck bringers — ear so the superstitious say. "For centuries," wrote one na- turalist, "ladybirds have lived in the soft glow of man's affection." Why? Because they destroy the tiny greenfly, blackfly and blight that prey on crops. Ladybirds gorge themselves on plant lice or aphides of this kind and farmers and gardeners say $hey are worth their weight in gold. By importing a species of lady- bird from Australia, owners of orange groves in California saved their crops from he depredations Of an insect pest known as the cottony -cushion scale, which was threatening a $60,000,000 -a -year industry. Within six months the non-stop champing jaws of the ladybirds had rid- the groves of the .in- vaders. The winter quarters of lady- birds in some parts of America are called "ladybird mines." Men known as ladybird pro- spectors are paid to collect the little beetles when they discover a "mine" and put them in sacks and boxes like grain. They are kept in cold storage during the winter and then, when spring comes and they are warm again, the ladybirds are old to farmers and gardeners who liberate them on their land.

A New Attack On Mount Everest Now that men are girding their loins to take off for the moon the Hillary -Tensing climb - i n g of Mt. Everest's magnifi- cence is in danger of being un- derestimated and forgotten. But some Americans are cani- ing to the rescue with a new climb of that great fang on the jawbone of the world. A "rescue" in the sense that the world,', citizenry will be reminded by the expedition of what man can do on his own two feet in over- coming his environment. To the rescue comes the Na- tional Geographic Society who as everyone should know does much more than produce a monthly magazine printing some of the best four-colour exotic pictures to be found. The society is devoted primar- ily to expanding scientific hori- zons. The Everest expedition, which will be headed by Nor- man G. Dhyrenfurth and starts tests on Washington State's Mt, Rainier soon, will give bhe gath- ering of scientific data priority. The topping of Everest by the massive operation will be the frosting on the cake. If the in- vestigation of Everest's glaciers, meteorology, solar radiation and geology f a 11 s too far behind schedule it may be necessary te• forgo the summit effort. Soon the 15 climbers and soi- entists of the expedition w i 11 gather on the slopes of Mit. Rainier to test equipment and instruments. Just as important, they will 'continue to build the indispensable morale and fit- ness that can mean success or failure. Everest stands at 29,028 feet on the border between Tibet and Nepal in all its glory, usually with a great white plume of snow whipping off the peak on a blue sky day. To climb at these altitudes under such severe conditions is always an effort of will, de- manding "intangible" qualities of mind to ensure success. A conscious mental effort propels the climber forward and up des- pite the claim from his body that it cannot go on. Everest's, at times, unmerciful weather conditions have crushed bhe will to go forward, or, more often, a simple calculation of speed -of -progress spelled out the impossibility of going on to the summit and having time to re- turn to bhe camp alive. Yet for the society's expedi BARE HANDED — These transmission men demonstrate how to handle 775,000 volts with their bare hands. Scene was part of a recent series of work tests on voltage lines which showed the feasibility and safety of performing work en today's high levels of voltage. li.rrt, ,na , l tan; tlltlnr;rtc '11,t:• is serirndary ]l u t knowing mnuntainet'rs, this try is almost ineeettpahler if the sprint! wt'n- ther held The mountain 6 upon only during a few spring weeks. Win- ter winds ire too strong and summer monsoons blanket the mountain with drifts, according to Robert R. Brunn in the Christian Science Monitor. This society group gives full credit to the climbers who have defeated Everest before and as one of them puts it, "we climb up an their shoulders." This is the first serious Ameri- can effort on Everest. In Janu- ary the party will leave for Nepal. It will be joined by 30 Sherpas and some 300 porters. An Everest climb builds up slowly to a climax, with a long arduous march before getting to the foot of the giant. The march to the first camp at Katmandu, the Nepalese capital, covers about 175 miles. Ten tons of equipment will be carried to the glacier by" the porters. A primary objective will be to determine the great Khumbu glacier's rates of movement and accumulation. But the glint in the eyes of the American climbers will be for the summit, not for glacial movement and its measurement! For the climbing is the human triumph. This feeling cannot be better described than by Sir Edmund Hillary when he and the other great mountaineer Tensing made it in 1953: "A few more whacks of the ice -ax in the firm snow, and we stood on the summit. My initial feelings were of relief -- relief that there were no more steps to cut, no more ridges to tra- verse, and no more humps to tantalize us with hopes of suc- cess. In spite of the balaclava, goggles, and oxygen mask, all crusted with icicles, that con- cealed Tensing's face, there was no disguising his infectious grin of pure delight, as he looked all around him. We shook hands, and then, casting those Anglo- Saxon formalities aside, Tensing threw his arms around my shoulders and we thumped each other on the back until forced to stop for lack of breath." He Makes it Tough For The Batters In the dressing room at Dod- ger Stadium one day recently, Los Angeles pitching coach Joe Becker walked up to right-hand- er Don Drysdale and asked: "You got number 100 yet?" Drysdale shook his head, "Only 99, Joe," he said. "But I'll get it tomorrow." Drysdale turned to a reporter. "Joe says you aren't a major- league pitcher until you've won a hundred games," he explained. "I think he's right." The next night, as he had pre- dicted, Donald Scott Drysdale, 26, now in his seventh season as a Dodger starter, won his 100th game (against 68 defeats). By beating the visiting New York Mets, 7-5, for his eleventh con- secutive icvtory, he raised his 1962 record to 21-4, the best in the big leagues. Though losing last weekend for the first -place L.A. ' Dodgers, Drysdale still stands a strong chance to become the first major -leaguer to win 30 games in one season since Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals in 1934. In past seasons, Drysdale's ef- forts earned abuse as often as acclaim After winning seven- teen and losing nine in 1957, he slipped to 12-13 in 1958 and, through 1961, never topped sev- enteen victories. Drysdale could be a twenty -game winner, insist- ed many National Leaguers, if he only learned to control his torrid temper. "Aside from a blowup in the clubhouse now and then, my temper's not as bad as people think," argues Drysdale, who has fought on the field, been warned for throwing at batters, and been fined and suspended for hitting a batter. "The whole thing has been blown out of proportion, All last year, writers were mis- quoting me." This year, 6 -foot -6 Drysdale quietly cites four reasons for his success: "1 trimmed down to 207 pounds early, the club has been. getting runs behind me, (man- ager) Walt Alston has left me in when I'm behind, and the bigger ball park has been a help." "At the Coliseum," he continued pointedly, "I had to watch every pitch carefully." From 1958 through 1961, the Dodgers played home games at Las Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the left -field screen was only 251 feet from home plate. Depressed, Drysdale once snap- ped; "I'll never Win in this place as long as I live. They should trade me and put me out of my misery, I'll go anywhere — even Cucamonga," The owner of a 1962 Lincoln Continental and a three-bed- x'oom-plus-swimrning-pool house in his home town of Van Nuys, AGENTS, char ole.

"You can't get set. Other pitchers throw faster but no body fights harder. He has a good slider and a good changes up, but his fastball makes him. It tails in on you one time and goes away the next." Another asset: Pinpoint control that Drys- dale, a sidearm pitcher by na- ture, has sharpened since using a three-quarter overhand deliv- ery. Until last week, he had pitched 53 2/3 consecutive inn- ings without allowing a base on balls. Long the Dodger workhorse, Drysdale has worked even hard- er since teammate Sandy Kou- fax (14-5) was injured last month. "I'm not a bit tired," said Drysdale, after pitching his 217th inning and winning his 21st game. "Maybe a month from now, I'll give you a different answer." CUSTOMERS SCARCE Officially, South Africa's Na- tionalist government has always forbidden the country's 11 mil- lion blacks to buy any liquor ex- cept a weak, treacly brew called Kaffir Beer. Unofficially, any African could gulp bootleg Wit - blitz, a weird mixture of sugar alcohol and meat. Last month, the government finally ended prohibition, mainly because the police insisted it was impossible to enforce. But there was little rush on liquor stores during the first "wet" clays. "They're shy," said a store owner who had stocked up with gallon jars of wine for $1.82. And the few who ventured in- side soon realized that apartheid had not been eased, They had to buy their liquor at special non- white counters.
