The infant lies inthe Women's

undergoing successful treatments
for which there is a need for more
financial aid.
Physicians at the hospital are
putting forth every effort to give
the child an opportunity to live a
normal life like other children des-
pite the handicap Of the loss Of
both arms, an ear and an eye.
Both arms completely disintegrat-
ed and fell off necessitating arti-
ficial arms for the use of ,the child
to recover it's usefulness when re-
leased from the hospital.
The victim of the tragic fire
is little Robert Walker, seven-days
old at the timeof the tragic mis-
hap, who miraculously escaped a
"merciful" death when he was
saved by firemen at the risk of
their lives.
Last Friday, physicians began

By some freakish turn of
nature, the fire burned in an area
about the child's crib, never touch
ing it. The soaring heat, however,
took its toll, scorching the crib
and soaring the baby.
He received fourth degree burns
of the entire face and arms. The
face was a disfigured, .contorted

a possible loss of an ear and eyes
swollen to several times their nor

and l don't see how it ever lived"
DR.. Gibbons declared.
Beside needing a pair of new

said.
An explanation Of the tragic fire
was given by Mrs. Sallie Walker,
the child's grandmother. She said
she was in her kitchen, which is
located beneath the second floor
bedroom where the baby was
asleep in it's crib, when she heard
falling glass.
An investigation disclosed that
that the window glass in the bed
room had been shattered by the
terrific heat and flames. The or

The grandmother called the
child's mother, Lille Wright, 10,
and they attempted to get upstairs
to save the child but were chased
back down by a sheet of flame
from the second floor hallway.

anywhere in the United Stotes hos been chonoed by
the settlement made by Paul Robson who like Cover

The leadership and greatness of the United Stote in
