Two handicapped Texans, Marie Sanders and Herschel Collings, exemplify success through rehabilitation. Sanders, paralyzed from the hips since 1939, learned to walk with braces and crutches, now leads in watch repair, drives, and serves in church and guild roles after vocational training. Collings, crippled by infantile paralysis, uses crutches but holds a job with Texas New Mexico and Oklahoma Coaches, drives, hunts, and participates in church work, crediting family support and vocational services for his progress.
