A FLAMING GOOD TIME!

KANSAS CITY, (AP) - A curious two-year-old had to be carried from his burning home three times Friday.

Two older brothers and a sister settled for one rescue each.

Mrs. Henry J. Schmidt saw flames in the bedroom in which four of her seven children were playing. She guided the four children to safety, then called firemen.

By the time firemen arrived Henry, the youngest, had wandered back in for another look at the fire. Fire Captain Prines Holland brought the child from the smoke-filled room only to have him break loose and return for still another look.

Holland scrambled after him and pulled him to safety again.
