Loom Makes Crippled Children Happy (Feb, 1940)
Loom Makes Crippled Children Happy
LIFE will be a lot pleasanter for crippled children, thanks to the bed loom shown here, the invention of Margaret Greave, of the Riley Hospital for Crippled Children, in Indianapolis. Miss Greave is shown teaching a young patient how to operate the loom. With it, Miss Greave won the first place award of the National Association of Occupational Therapists for the outstanding contribution of the year.
Because if there is one thing bed-ridden children like, it’s tedious manual labor.
And that nurse looks scary.
I don’t care if you’ve got polio, you’re gonna earn your keep, dammit!
Keep in mind this was pre-tv, guys.
I saw some Crips looming omniously just the other day…
(Sorry.)
Toronto, that made me laugh so hard my drink came out my nose!
“I may be dying in a slow and painful way, but at least I can operate a loom!”
