ORLANDO. Fla. «P—Little Mike's bedtime was heart¬ rending for those who watched a Baptist preacher and his wife trying to give the four- year-old'child enough loving smiles to last for a lifetime.
Rev. and Mrs. James W. Sibole beamed proudly for the camera and smiled happily for Mike while the handsome, robust child climbed on his father's knee for a bedtime pose.
While the flash bulbs popped the Siboles, the reporter and the photographer all smiled at the little boy who will never see again after his one remaining eye is removed next Wednesday. Doesn't Suspect Operation
Mike does not know about the operation for cancer of the retina. Thus far the Siboles have prevented him from suspecting any thing unusual.
Mike glanced expectantly at the book of Bible stories his father held for the camera. It was late, nearly his bed-
y
time, when he would hear about Noah and then say goodnight to the six teddy- bears lying about the room.
The photographer and the reporter did not stay for Mikes real goodnight, but as long as the tights stayed bright, Mike could see nothing but smiles.
Mike's left eye was re¬ moved two years ago. Despite almost monthly trips to New York for treatment the can¬ cer has developed dangerous¬ ly in his right eye. Cram Sightseeing
Doctors said the eye would have to be removed to save Mike's life. The Siboles have been trying to cram a life¬ time of sights for Mike into the few remaining days, show¬ ing him birds, flowers, sea- shells, and animals.
Saturday he attended a friend's birthday party. Over the weekend he will visit Sanibel I^and on the Florida west coast to hunt seashells. Earlier this week he vliited • zoo near Miami.
