"Modern" Moms

August 3, 1967, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Fun times at Jefferson Park, courtesy of the Menasha Rec Department.  I'd like to have seen the rolling pin throwing contest.  I presume this was just for distance, not at a target of the ol' ball and chain.  Still, it beats getting a hit on the head by a frying pan, as evidenced in every comic strip or cartoon at one time or another in regards to domestic marital life.  And lest you think I'm making light of domestic violence, oh no, I'm just highlighting an old stereotype of the shrewish housewife yielding dominance over the milquetoast husband,  You know the trope.
