“Mayor Riley, chairman of the board of Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children [Shriner's Children's Portland], tries out this new specially built tricycle after accepting it on behalf of the hospital. The vehicle is geared and constructed as an exerciser for convalescents or handicapped persons [disabled persons]. It was donated by Morris Rogoway through the International Footprinters association, “fun” organization of law enforcement officers. Left to right (standing) are Max Sagner Footprinters committee chairman; Police Chief Harry M. Niles, president of Portland Chapter, and Ray Garner, Footprinter who obtained the Tricycle.” From an Oregonian article 9/2/1945. Photo date is circa. As an historical resource, this item reflects the prejudices of the era in which it was created and includes language that is offensive. The use of this language is not condoned by The City of Portland Archives and Records Center, but we are committed to providing access to this material as evidence of the inequalities and attitudes of the time.
