Housewife Sets Record In Olney Pancake Race

Board to Inspect Architecture Dept.
An inspection to determine whether the department of architecture should be listed among accredited schools of architecture will be made by the National Architectural Accrediting board March 30 through April 1.
Prof. George M. Beal, head of the department of architecture, said at the present time the department is among the 39 accredited schools in the nation.
Film Tonight Open to Public
"The board conducts an inspection of each school every five years," Prof. Beal said, "and will be with us three days making a thorough check of the department."
The film, "The New Beginning" will be shown in Fraser projection room at 7:15 p.m. tonight by the Physical Therapy club. Anyone interested is welcome.
Irish-born Mrs. Dix flipped her pancake successfully for the third time as she crossed the finish line at Saint Peter and Paul's church—and then fainted.
Mrs. Dix, described as having the "fastest feet of any woman in town" bettered her own time over the 415-yard course. Last year she was clocked in 1:10.8.
Today she also topped the time of schoolgirl Donna Zimmerman, of Liberal, who last year covered the American course of the same length in 1.8:0 flat to take the championship to America for the first time.
(Miss Zimmerman is now a college freshman at the University.She did not enter the race to defend her title this year).
The Olney housewives lined up at the Bull Inn—now the traditional starting point of the race. Clad in aprons and with scarves over their heads, they flipped the pancakes in their skillets and dashed off.
Mrs. Dix finished a good 20 yards ahead of her nearest rival. There was a pre-race tempest because Mrs. Dix—who trained behind a baby carriage—was a Roman Catholic and said she would not attend the Church of England service after the race.
According to legend, the race started here more than 500 years ago when a woman was so late for church she raced through the streets with a skillet and a sizzling pancake—the traditional mark of the start of lent—in her hand.
The American winner's time will be immediately telephoned from Liberal to Olney and the official international champion will be announced.
The pancake and skillet race will be run against time in Liberal again today (at 11:55 a.m. CST). The international champion will be decided by a comparison of times.
