SMART WALKING
OVER LONG DISTANCE.
DANNEYIRKE, November f.O
.Mr Norman Blackiston, a young Dannevirke lawyer, to prove to some doubting friends that he could do so, walked from Dannevirke to the "Pipi Bank" station at the coast, a distance of 47 miles during the week-end. A condition of the challenge was that the distance had to be covered between sunrise and sunset.
Blakiston accomplished the journey in 11 i hours' walking time and finished in good form.—Press Assn.
