Scope and content
On August 13, 1941, Metropolitan Park District's life guards Joe Smeal (left) and Archie Heaton were photographed demonstrating the accepted method of giving artificial respiration. The lifeguards are assisted by Tacoma patrolmen Richie Mace (left) and Bert Barber, who are using an "inhalator," which supplies oxygen. The "victim" is Marge Roscoe, queen of the 1940 Daffodil Festival. This picture accompanied an article on first aid that appeared in the Tacoma Times. (T. Times 1/2/1942, pg. 16)
