ffltt DAM The Higher He Climbs in Skies, Louder He Sings By RDWARD feLLtS NEA Special Correspondent YOtlK This story opens! in HiflT in the small town of ffo- mnna. on the Austro-Hungarian border. On both sides of Homana ore mountains, and flowing' through it was the river Laborec. A miller harnessed this river tto grind grain. In 1897 his labors were I happily Inlerrupted b.V the birth of a son.

The lad was cliristeiied Michael Porvaznik. The miller wanted little Mike to follow his trade, but as the boy grew in huskiness he played more than he worked. And his playing always took him to the mountains. At first he scrambled up the foothills, then the mountains themselves. Finally, he climbed to the topmost part of the trees capping the peaks.

Swaying in the wind, he would sip the air. exult in the view, expand in the solitude. Eagles nested on the highest limbs of the highest trees of the highest peaks. Often this would be an oak whose lowest branches began 70 feet from the base. Up to this Mike would shinny, digging his fingernails into the rough bark.

There always semed to be a prize at the uppermost reach of his climb. It might be Eagle eggs. Mike would cradle them in a handkerchief, shiny down, edge back down to the valley, and race to put them under one of his father's setting hens. When the eaglets hatched it was fun to see the hen's surprised look, watch her shunt them aside. But time lengthened like afternoon shadows in the narrow valley and when Mike was 16 he set forth for America.

In Pennsylvania he worked in the coal mines as a machinist. In New York he became a motorman on a trolley car. It was in 1914. as Mike remembers the day. that he was piloting his streetcar across the Brooklyn Bridge.

The day was hot and so was Mike. Glancing up, he saw some bridge painters working high in the sky. Then swept over him the memory of his boyhood days, the mountains, the peaks, the trees, the eagles' nests. Again he sipped the clean air, exulted in the distant view, expanded in joyous solitude. 'That's for me!" Mike, sang to himself.

From that day on, he knew he never would rest content until he too, worked near the sky. So he quit his motorman job and studied rigging. And although it took him live years, Mike Porvaznik became a bridge painter. Now he is an employe of the New York Department of Public Works. Mike is the man they call whenever a flagpole has to be- climbed on public buildings and bridges.

"The higher I climb," he says, louder I sing." There are other crimes than those which I am charged.
