Four-Minute
Mile Run By
GB's Bannister
. Roger Bannister reached un
precedented stardom Thursday
with the running of a fantastic
four-minute mile. The former
Oxford ace reeled off the dis
tance in a unbelievable three
minutes and 59.4 seconds.
Bannister's brilliant effort
came on the familiar Oxford
track and it bettered the listed
world's record of 4:01.4 set by
Sweden's Gunder Haegg in 1945.
Conditions for the race were
generally regarded as unfavor
able. For the mark to be accepted
as a world record approval must
be given by the International
Athletic Federation. All aspects
of the race will need to be re
viewed.

Instructor: "Where is he?"
Student: "I killed him."
An elderlylady had just received
a parrot from a friend. She was
not pleased with the bird, because
every time friends dropped in
the bird let out a long string of
vile words. One day the minister
of her church dropped in, and she
told him her problem.
"I know just the thing to quiet
him down," the minister told her.
I have a parrot by the name of
Sarah who is a very devout bird.
She says her prayers every day.
I think if we put her with your
bird, she will quiet him down."
The next day the minister
brought over his parrot. He put
her on the perch with the other
bird. They walked around awhile
eyeing each other. Finally the old
lady's bird said "How about some
loving with me, baby!"
"Sure thing, bud, what do you
think I been praying for!"
