PRIEST MAKES HIMSELF AN ARTIFICIAL LEG.—LEFT: The Rev. Michael Brady adjusting the artificial leg which he made for himself at the Australian Government’s rehabilitation centre in Melbourne. RIGHT: He puts his best (artificial) foot forward at a church fete. “It’s a beauty,” he said. “No more crutches for me.” Father Brady, who has been a missionary in North India for 12 years, lost his right leg in a road accident last year. He has taken a course in making artificial limbs so that he may help limbless Indians. “In my district (in India),” he said, “there are dozens of coalminers who have lost arms and legs in accidents, and there are hundreds more who have lost limbs through frostbite in the fighting with the Red Chinese.”
