SUPER STAMINA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH Elderly Man Outruns Horses OTTAWA (CP) -- A 64- year-old man said to be able to outrun horses and run great distances without stop- ping for rest is being tested here by University of Ottawa researchers, Jean-Baptiste Beland,-a grey-haired bachelor who lives in a home for elderly men in St.Ephrem-de- Beaucy, Que., demonstrated his endurance for reporters Friday by spending 34 min- utes.on a treadmill. The treadmill, set to run at five mph, is set up in the university's school of physical recreation. Dr. Guy Metivier, associate professor of the school, is con- ducting research on Mr, Be- land to try to establish endur- ance levels. He wants to find out what is physically differ- ent about a man who has ex- ercised all his life compared to the average man. He learned about the aging runner after a student's study of the bones of legendary Alex- is Lapointe, who was reputed { to have outrun trains, caught the attention of Mr. Beland's townsmen, Lapointe was a French Canadian who lived from 1816 to 1924. He is buried at Mal- baie, Que. Mr, Beland might be a modern Lapointe, they thought. SIMILAR TRAITS The physical characteristics and accomplishments of | the two men are said to be simi- lar, five feet, five inches tall, weight about 145 pounds, and both able to accomplish great feats of speed and endurance running. Unlike Lapointe, however, Mr. Beland earned money from his ability: For years at carnivals and public events he has put on a horse costume, hitched himself to a cart and taken people on rides. He smokes cigarettes, - ci- gars and pipes and his favor- ite food is hamburger. Marvelling at the runner's treadmill test, Dr. Metivier said the average 64-year-old man could not last five min- utes, fa JEAN BAPTISTE BE- LAND, 64, of St. Ephrem-de- Beaucy, Que., jogs on a treadmill at the University of Ottawa Friday, Scientists More than 250,000 animals «|have so far been slaughtered in '| hopes of halting the fast-spread- :\ing virus, which effects all clov- ilen-footed animals--cattle,| 'isheep, goats and swine--and is wl |transferred upon contact. - | Sources said both Argentina _jand Uruguay are likely to ac-| cept the ban, but under protest. | n |The British government, it was} MA believed, told the two countries} '| that if they do not agree to al |voluntary halt on meat imports, | jan official ban will be imposed *jupon them. | | The ban would mean a cut of| almost.30 per cent in overseas) = f. | meat supplies and higher prices) ~ @ for British housewives, whose} . | buying power is already down \because of the recent 14.3-per- cent devaluation of the pound jsterling.
