Photograph caption dated March 14, 1958 reads, "Little things mean a lot - Mrs. Clarence Barton, volunteer from La Sertoma Club, demonstrates how to comb hair of patient at Foothill Sanitarium in San Fernando. Peggy Noore, lying in iron lung, isn't polio patient but she is interested in helping recruit badly needed volunteers to aid adult post-polio patients recently transferred from Rancho Los Amigos Hospital with such things as letters, reading, feeding and adjusting beds and chairs. Interest by others makes recovery more rapid."
