IX-YEARS-OLD Dinah Frayne, of Swansea, de- scribed as a "complete wreck" eight months ago, may yet make a good recovery. Dinah suffered a fractured skull, two broken ribs, multiple injuries to one leg, and a paralysed arm when she was knocked down by a car and dragged 40 yards in January.

Doctors then described her as a complete physical wreck. But now, thanks to the efforts of German specialists, she has a chance of making an almost complete recovery.

At the Assize Court, when the child was awarded damages of £4,000, her counsel said she would never know the pleasures of youth," while Mr. Justice Singleton declared that no money could compensate her.

Dinah's head and ribs had been mended, and a Swansea surgeon had, almost miraculously, saved her leg, but specialists feared that her arm would have to be amputated.
