Police Ban

October 18, 1932, Menasha Record

I wish there had been more detail about this crime, but one can infer the seriousness of the crime.  From the sound of it, it appears Menasha's youngsters were doing more than just hitting the back of the girl's head in front of them in the classroom.  This smacks of hiding in the shadowy recesses of Main Street and attacking our innocent citizens.  If it was so, the Chief's actions were totally justified.  But he should have been careful because of the old dictum: if pea shooters are outlawed, then only outlaws will have pea shooters.
