Stay Off the Streets!

 August 29, 1955, Twin City News-Record
Related to yesterday's post about recreational activities while young people stayed home during the polio outbreaks of the 1950's, comes this directive from the Menasha Health Officer.  Sound familiar?  Today, they'd call this social distancing and quarantine.  Back then it was enough to call them restrictions. I wonder what the "penalty" was that he threatened.
