Scope and content
On August 13, 1941, the rugged facade of Mount Rainier National Park's Longmire Administrative Building was used as the background for the Tacoma Times' series of first aid photographs. Park Rangers Al Rose and Larry Jensen demonstrated the proper application of fixed traction when treating a fractured leg. The very calm and serene "victim" was Marge Roscoe, the 1940 Daffodil Queen. The Longmire building was designed by the staff of the National Park's Landscape Division under the direction of landscape architect Thomas Vint and constructed around 1900. The bottom half is composed of glacial boulders set in concrete. (T. Times 1/24/1942, pg. 12; www.nps.com)
