Robson Fire Department,
Robson Elementary School
staff and Stanley Humphries
Secondary School art instruc-
tor Colin Pryce have joined
forces to raise funds for a
Robson student camp-out la-
ter this month.

The firemen and school
staff have offered to sell
raffle tickets on a watercolor
painting by Pryce — a paint-
ing he did especially for the
raffle.

"I tried to think of what
people like, so I. painted

Student camp-out

ducks,” explained Pryce. He *

said people love ducks, “and
we're a duck community over
here.”

Pryce said the raffle tic-
kets will be available over
the next three weeks.

He said the trip will run
from May 28 - June 8 and is
set up to teach the 55 to 60
Grade 5 and 6 students
everything from surveying,
survival and forestry to in-
tensive drawing of outdoor

life.

The students will be stay-
ing at the Blue Lake forestry
camp.

“This is my gift to them,”
Pryce said.of the painting. .

guardian

to faceless child

MARYVILLE, TENN.
(AP) — Nurse Thelma Per-
kins cried over the faceless
infant girl in the hospital's
intensive ‘care nursery. Two
years later, she and her hus-
band became Alice's guar-
dians,

They forced the frightened
child to learn to sit and walk
and they patiently explain
her condition to curious chil-
dren, who fear “that the
same thing can happen to
them,” Mrs. Perkins said.

Less pleasant encounters,
usually with adults who
sometimes scream or stare,
are simply accepted.

“Their reaction to Alice is
really their problem and they
have to deal with it,” she
said,

Alice, now six, is blind and
can't see the stares. But be-
cause she can hear, she may
be, aware of the sharp intake
of breath, the whispered
words as people pass.

. Alice’s condition, a birth
defect, is called a bi-lateral
cleft dace. Dr. John Lynch, a

plastic surgeon at Nashville's
Vanderbilt Hospital who is
working to build her a face,
says Alice is one of only six
such cases ever recorded.

When Alice was born at
Knoxville’s University of
Tennessee Hospital on Sept.
6, 1975, there was only a hole
opening on to soft mucous
membrane where her eyes,
nose and mouth should have
been. She had eyelids on the
side of her head and no eyes,

INTENSIVE CARE

The child was taken to an
intensive care unit, where
she was seen by Mrs. Per-
kins, them a licensed practical

nurse,

“I remember I cried that
any little baby would have to
be born like that,” she said.
“It was hard to see all those
perfectly formed little babies
struggle for life and then die
and then to look at Alice and
see how very well she was
doing.”

Except for the respiratory
problems caused by having
no nose, Alice thrived in the
nursery.

After Alice went * home
with her mother, Mrs. Per-
kins kept in touch and helped

months, Alice became a ward
of the state. Mrs. Perkins and
her husband, Raymond, the
parents of three grown chil-
dren, became ‘Alice's guar-
dians. They have filed papers
seeking to adopt Alice.

Perkins, a carpenter, was
one of the first to force Alice
to confront the world.

On Sundays, the: couple
take Alice to church. The
curly-haired blonde can slow-
ly repeat the prayers the
teacher recites and can sing a

few songs, like Deep and

Wide.
SPECIAL CLASS

Last October, Alice started
attending a special education
class. A ‘speech pathologist
works with her for 20 to 30
minutes a day, and a teacher
gives-her another 30 minutes
of individual instruction.

She began to eat baby food
after surgeons rebuilt her
mouth and gradually has
learned to manipalate: | her
tongue and mouth.

Once, Alice began scream-
ing and continued for hours.
The couple took her to a doc-
tor who discovered her ears
had become clogged. Alice’s
contact with the outside

world had been cut off and.

she was terrified.

Alice has undergone sur- -

gery 11 times.

She has gums, some teeth
and a semblance of a nose
built from a rib to be the cor-
rect size for an adult. Lynch
has moved’ her eyelids to
a more normal position and
done cranial surgery to give
her a more solid skull.

Doctors .say the work
won't be finished until Alice
is 18 years old, and.they esti-
mate the total cost at more
than $300,000.
