Scope and content
Mid April 1937, Tacoma General Hospital bested their old record when 37 babies were born there in one week. Eighteen of the little ones posed for this picture from inside their glassed-in ward. Student nurse Maxine Balschley, left, held two of her charges up for the camera while Lorraine Greenough, supervisor of the maternity ward, held two more. The usual bundle production in a week at the hospital was 20-25. There were no multiple births in the week's bumper crop. (T.Times 4/15/1937, pg. 1) (filed with Argentum)
