Scope and content
Margery Nelson, 3021 No. 26th, made it onto the front page of the Tacoma Times on December 6, 1940 because her "fad" clothes exposed her to the health risk of a severe cold. Dr. Norman Magnussen, the Pierce County health officer, had declared that, "Girls wearing anklet socks are getting nothing more then a complete cooling system for the body. Anklets definately are detrimental to health." (T.Times 12/6/1940 p.1)
