How many people can walk
around the block wUhout becom

is a 75-year-old man who can
walk across the United States
without losing a breath or a step.
In fact, he has done it 17 times.
He is Pat Thienes. the "Walk
ing Man." He was here recently
visitine Dr. C. W. Davis, chiro-
oractic physician, who examined
him for his 18th cross-country
jaunt in September.
On this trip he will travel from
his home in San Diego to New York
City. Upon arriving there he will
appear on the Ed Sullivan Show.
He expects to make his walk in a
short enough period 'of time to re

walking contest in 1903 at age 17.
He began his ground-covering
sport to strengthen weakened mus
cles, resulting from his having
polio at the age of 6. He became
interested in contests when he
came under the auspices of Dan
O'Leary, world champion walker.
"My first cross-country walk
was in 1905. I passed right through
the town of Klamath Falls, but it
wasn't much more than a few
buildings." he stated when rem
iniscing about the past.
On this same first trip he had
quite a memorable experience.
After his arrival in San Francisco
he stayed there until 1906. On the
day of his departure he was just
12 miles outside of the city and
the great earthquake hit.
