PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON WEDNESDAY. JUNE 30, 1943 Doomed Child Cheered by Flood Of Greeting Cards Denver, June 30 P Maxine Perry, 11, doomed by an incur able illness, played happily in her ; home today, cheered by thous ands of cards from others across the nation and by her own calm belief that "I am going to heaven very soon." The little girl has been told by the family doctor that she may die at any time, "in days or per haps months." Each Sunday the Rev. Carl Maler, pastor of the First Congregational church in Denver, comes to the modest Perry home to join the bright eyed girl in prayer. Maxine'8 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Perry, said that the pros pect of death had been almost counterbalanced by the well wish es of thousands of people, most 01 mem motners tnemseives, wno had swamped the Perry home with "get well" cards, letters of encouragement and gifts since reading of the child's hopeless case last week. Child Brightens Up "She used to be shy, and would stay in the bedroom when we had company," Maxine's mother said. "Now, since so many nice people took an interest in her, she seems to have brightened up." The best doctors have search ed for an answer to Maxine's low battle with death. They found none. They told Mrs. Perry her youngster might die anytime and rrobablv within six months Since birth, Maxine's "skin de ficiency" which her mother ex Plains "falls to cement toupthor the layers of skin" has madei every ungentle touch leave an angry red bruise. Once, Maxine's father grasped her arm to prevent a fall. The child s outer layer of skin peeled ou her arm as though it were a rubber glove, Mrs. Perry said. "Maxine plays with her dolls, and sometimes she draws," Mrs. Perry said. "Her fingers, except the thumbs, have grown back in' to her hand, you know, but she holds crayons somehow." Maxine, who wears a pink rib bon jauntily in her blonde curls, weighs only 40 pounds. Her round, pink face smiles despite the slight bruises on her cheek.
