1961 Press Photo Jimmielea Webb tries sewing machine at Tulane rehab unit

Miss Jimmielea Webb (left), Mrs. Ruth Metcalfe and Mrs. Jean Snider trying out new machine. A sewing machine can make all the difference in your life - if you have lost the use of one or more limbs. But in many cases, it must be a particular kind of machine. It must be portable with a movable pedal that you can use with either your hand or foot. And thatE™s the why of the gift the local Altrusans are giving to the occupational therapy department of the rehabilitation unit of the Tulane medical school Tuesday.
