“DISROBING IN CARS TABOO - Exposing Of Skin To Highway Observers Is Too Much For Liberal-Minded People.”

Originally Published in 1932 in the Shannock Gab: Prosperity must be just around the corner, because events in the last few weeks would indicate that Shannock is becoming Bohemian in its pleasures and business. The latest event which shows this trend is disrobing in cars along the highway at nearby Charlestown Beach. But Charlestown will never stand for this. A quick stop was put to this form of amusement last week by the Chief of Police. Yes, this town is getting to be very wicked.

To the puritans of the town, it was comforting to see how quickly the movement got a “jolt on the chin”. In reporting the squelching of this horrid form of amusement we are only being polite by not entioning the nude sunbathing party held at the beach one night last week.
