1400 Students Walked For 14,500 1400 walkers assembled at OLA Seminary for Quincy's third Walk for Development. The third Quincy Walk for Development ended this year ten hours and 47 minutes after it had started. Of the 1,400 pair of sore feet making the walk, 1,060 fin- ished the 25-mile route. Following the registration in the early morning, there was an interfaith religious service. The walk began at 8:00 a.m. Along the route, there were checkpoints where walkers had their cards stamped and were given peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, non-carbonated soft drinks and medical attention. Walk cards, necessary for registration and proof that a walker walked a certain distance, showed each persons sponsor and the amount of money per mile he would pay for the mileage walked by that person. In addition to walking for money, the walkers also collected consider- able amounts of litter along the route, enough to keep four trucks busy picking it up all day . Before the walk started, students turned in their walk cards at the registration desk. 64
