    BOURBON - Fifty Bourbon school children have given a part of their skin to save the life of Mrs. Everett Patterson, seriously burned Dec. 12. Physicians said skin grafting was necessary to save her life and an appeal was made to the school children. If the grafting is successful, 50 more children will be used in a week, since it will take almost 150 children to obtain enough skin to cover the burns.

Patterson was burned when she attempted to warm herself in front of a stove and her clothing caught fire.
