Scope and content
For the second November in a row, the Tahoma Guild of the Tacoma Orthopedic Association in 1947 set out "Wishing Candles" in many restaurants as a fund raiser for a much needed children's hospital in Tacoma. People were asked to donate coins as they made a wish. From left to right, guild members Mrs. Betty Vogel, co-chairman of the project Hazel B. (Mrs. Arthur) York, and Myra J. (Mrs. E.R.) Fetterolf light one of the "Wishing Candles" at an unidentified restaurant. (T. Times 11-21-47, p. 15)
