BORN WITHOUT HANDS SKILLED PENMAN NOW

Bethel Youth Nears * Goal of Being Certified Public Accountant. Martin Brlnk's wrestle with life's handicaps has been a nine-teen-year Btruggle, waged persistently, without the use of hands --he was bom without hands. Today he is within sight of the goal that represent ten years’ of a. nourished, cherished ambition —to become a certified public accountant. Already he has completed the Lain Business College couvse in bookkeeping and is nearing completion of a special course in public accounting and auditing. M. M.

My ambition is to become an accountant. Mr. La n became interested in me. and h!s interest aided me greatly in improving my penmanship,” Martin related. Brink was born on a farm near New Bethel nineteen yeanj ago. He had no hands. Nature equipped him with a pair of stubs extending to about the point where his elbows normally would have been located. Despite the handicap, he learned practically all of the manual arts. By constant plugging he progressed in his school work and was known as an excellent student. Habitual tussles with unfortunate circumstances seem to have made adversity a joy for him. Yet, there is nothing but cold considy eration given by Brink to his accomplishments. Brink never quarrels with his tools. Brink’s education was made possible through the division of vocational rehabilitation of the State
