HOW TO LIVE TO 140: TAKE
WALKS IN MOUNTAINS,
•OLDEST MAN' SAYS
•
By MENNO DUERKSEN
U. P Staff Correspondent
ISTANBUL. (U.P.)—If you want
to live to be 140. never have any
heavy thoughts and take long
walks in the mountains.
The authority for this latest old
age prescription is ((the oldest
man in the world,” Saip Oglu
Veli, according to the newspaper
Vatan. Vatan sent a correspondent
to the mountain village of Mag
ancura in Eastern Turkey to in
terview the man who claims to
have passed 140 “several years
ago.”
“I walk in the mountains eight
hours every day,” this “Mountain
Methuselah" told his interviewers.
When asked the secret of his old
age and when his young inter
viewer turned down an invitation
accompany him he said, “I think
you must be getting old if you
can’t walk eight hours.”
Veli claims to have lived under
si'- sultans and two presidents in
Turkey and to have fought in the
Napoelonic war to Nizip against
the Egyptains in 1839, in addition
to a ampaign to lift the siege of
Scarpanto in 1853. E. D Allen,
British press attache in Istanbul,
who first discovered the grizzled
ancient, told press correspondents
he was first skeptical of the old
man’s claims of life but after
questioning him about history of
the period, believes it true.
“I have only milk and yogurt to
eat and only a goat to look after
me so if I can find a woman who
can take care of me I'll get mar
ried again,” explained the old
man in answer to questions about
his two marriages.
“And if you want to be happy
in marriage do like I did," the
ancient told Vatan. ‘‘I got married
and took my wife into the moun
tains for a 15-year-long honey
moon. We were very happy.
“The Bernard Shaw of the
mountains” he was dubbed by
Allen, who visited Turkish pro
vinces. But Veli was paging Mae
West and not Shaw when Vatan's
reporter climed on his motorcycle
and said farewell before descend
ing the narrow! mountain trail
from the village.
"Come back and see me some
time,” Veli shtouted cheerfully.
“I'll be waiting for you
