Abstract: We show that for every complete Riemannian surface $M$ diffeomorphic to a sphere with $kgeq0$ holes there exists a Morse function $f:MightarrowmathbbR$, which is constant on each connected component of the boundary of $M$ and has fibers of length no more than $52sqrtArea(M)+length(partialM)$. We also show that on every 2-sphere there exists a simple closed curve of length $leq26sqrtArea(S^2)$ subdividing the sphere into two discs of area $geqfrac13Area(S^2)$
