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

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. .

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.
