Scope and content
A trio of girls show off a completed basket. The girls learned basket weaving in a craft program at McKinley Playfield. The activity was part of a city wide program sponsored in Tacoma parks and playfields by the Metropolitan Park Board and the WPA Recreation Department. The girl in the center has been tentatively identified as Ruth Field. (T. Times 8/19/1936, pg. 1) TPL-9234
