Description
Childish excitement over the snowfall that began shortly before noon Thursday resulted in critical burns for 6 year old Leslie Mosley. Burned less seriously when a window curtain the Mosley home ignited from a near by heater were Leslie's 4 year old sister Barbara Sue and 3 year old brother Gerald. The child was taken to Peter Smith Hospital, where the ambulance drivers said they were told the curtain caught fire when one of the children, trying to get a better look at the snow, pushed it back against the stove. In the picture Mrs. Mosley and Gerald.
