LITTLE CHILDREN
OF PERRY MILLER
SUFFER BURNS

Donna, 8, and Joan, 5, children of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Miller, living on RFD 2, sustained painful first and second degree burns Thursday evening. Donna suffered burns on the hands and face, but is doing nicely. Joan was burned abut the face but was able to return home Friday.

The cause of the accident was a break in the pipe of the oven of the Skelgas stove, no one knew about and when Mrs. Miller struck a match to light the stove the flames burst out in the faces of the children, who were standing close by.
