“A deaf, dumb and blind man is claimed by Mr R. W. Kippax, Welfare Officer at the Sydney Industrial Blind Institute, to be Australia’s best war worker. He is William Sinclair, aged twenty-three, of Elswick Street, Leichhardt. Mr Kippax said that Sinclair wove sixteen yards of matting each week for the Royal Australian Navy. He sets the coir yam in his loom and does the whole job unaided.”—Colin Wills, broadcasting from the 8.8. C.
