walking or working on the ground.
The flag pole needed a coat of paint, and
the ball on top of the pole needed a coat
of gliding. 1t was not practical to take
the pole down, especially a man came
along who said he could do the work bet
ter with the pole standing erect He was
engaged at once at the regular union wage
rate of So per day. Incidentally those who
saw him at work remarked that they would
not climb the pole and attempt to WELD
the paint brush from that lofty height for

For several hours the man worked away
with a will. every few minutes taking q
puff at a cigarette he was smoking and
cheerily exchanging jokes with the conn
rade who was supposed TO be assisting him
on the roof
The only aid used by the painter in go
ing up the pole was rope around 1t. with
which he held his purchase as he assembled
a few inches at a time. When he had
reached the top he pulled this rope taut
and made a seat out of one of the loops and
quietly sat there with the pole swaying
with each puff of wind.
