PETER AND HIS TOES
At Redcar in Yorkshire, England, lives Peter O'Dell, a cripple of nine. An illness has robbed him of the use of his limbs, but he has found a way of overcoming his difficulties, for he has learnt to do many things, with his toes. Always cheerful, and usually in company with his love-bird, his dog, his rabbit, and his tortoise, Peter has taught himself to type with his toes. He can sketch with a pencil or a crayon between his toes, and is able to tune in the wireless and operate his model railway. 'Many boys and girls write to him, and he always delights to receive cheery messages. His address is St. John's Grove.
