Youth League Social Work: A Collective Hair-Washing Session (Một buổi gội đầu tập thể)
An ochre-bordered sheet carries one caption, 'Một buổi gội đầu tập thể' (A collective hair-washing session), over a photograph of a woman in a headscarf lathering a child's hair among a crowd of children, with a man in a cap and jacket looking on. The sheet makes no argument in words. The tell is the photograph of a helping scene presented as a public service, with the sponsor's identity left to the National Archives title.
