BOY, NEARLY BLIND,
LIVES BY CARVING
Whiting as Pastime Turned Into
Profit, and Critics of Art Praise
Achievements.

NEWKIRK. Okla (P).-Near blind
ness is no barrier to art.
For Clyde Rozell, 20-year-old sheep
herder, dextrous finger tips have done
what eyes never could do
His wood carvings have brought un-
stinted praise from critics. A boyhood
pastime of whiting has become bread
and butter to this youth, who studies
the Bible through a magnifying glass.
Biblical characters are the principal
subjects of his carvings. Indian scenes,
also favorites, have brought many sales
to wealthy redmen.
Life held little promise for Clyde after
q dynamite explosion blinded him at
the age of eight. Soon, however, he
discovered his whiting talent would
bring spending money.
Fulton Graham, a prosperous ranch
man, saw real art in what Clyde S
neighbors called shiftlessness. He fur
nished the boy soft pine wood needed
in carving and bought better instru-
nentS for him.
Now he is fully equipped with q
pocket knife, two chisels and sandpaper
He has regained the partial use of one
eye, but can see nothing more than
