Aged 87, and he can still touch hie toes! That is the boast of Mr David Landells, a retired coachman who lives at Crieklewood, near- London. Never was there a sprightlier man of his age. Wheu a reporter went to see him he came bounding into the room with eager enthusiasm. Hi« face and hands are wrinkled, and his hair is white, but he is vigorous and supple still, despite his 87 years. Mr Landells can "still do a days work against any man.”' He helps P eo P'e with their allotments. Such is _ his vigour that he may often be seen in a park kicking a football around with some children. He spends much of his time studying theology and racing form.
