'WALKATHON' BEGINS 4000 WATCH START
45 Couples Enter Novel Grind at Central Airport Hangar

Four thousand spectators braved rainy weather to witness the opening of Walter E. Tebbetts' "walkathon" endurance contest at the hanger at Central Airport last night. 

At the stroke of nine, 45 couples, all residents of South Jersey or Philadelphia, went out on the floor to compete in an endurance grind that may last three months or more.

 Of the ninety contestants, only eight are veteran marathoners. The others are new to endurance competition.  It is the first contest of its kind to be conducted in this vicinity.

Many Unemployed

Many of the entrants were there admittedly because if unemployment; the first prize of $1000 as well as weekly prizes and floor money attract them.

Team No. 20 is a striking example of this fact. They are Mrs. Dorothy Carnes and her 19 year-old son John, of 2831 Pleasant Street. Mrs. Carnes expects- as does every other contestant- to be the winner of the grand prize. She has to win it, she told interviewers; her husband, Charles is out of work and there is no other way in which the family can get food.

I went to the Pleasant Street web-page looking for my Grandmother's and Grandpop's information. I figured you probably needed some information on it.

At 2908 Pleasant St.; Thomas P. Stanton and Regina M. Stanton. I was born there in 1938; 2910 Pleasant St., Last name Gerber; On the corner of 29th & Pleasant St; was Wesley? The house is gone & torn down.

Today both 2908 & 2910, twin homes, are ready for the wrecking ball. Across the street at 2903 the was Gunson family, Jim Gunson of Robert, a WWII war hero, Purple Heart, was Jim's dad. Jim & I are good friends to this day. Next door to Jim, also a twin home, the last name was Pine. On the side toward 30th St.; before the PRR Pemberton Branch, across from 2908 & 2910 was ......., I'll get the name from Jim, very nice people, the husband used a piece of pipe to get the TV signals and it worked.

We could always see Pavonia RR Yard behind the house. My Grand pop worked for the PRR.
