Scope and content
Three year old Katherine Ann Clinton celebrates her birthday at the Pierce County Hospital where she is a polio patient. She lies in her crib surrounded by her toys. She lifts a new doll with her legs to admire it. Her arms are set with splints as part of the polio therapy. Her friends lie around her in iron lung respirators. (T. Times 9/10/1940, pg. 3)
