The TALES you probably never heard about

Obscene Language

[Welland Telegraph, 18 January 1901]

County Constable J.R. Dowd and other officers have received several letters and communications from residents of the town complaining of the fact that many boys and men loaf around the streets and store doorways at night using obscene language and making insulting remarks to passing ladies and young girls. The authorities have planned a campaign of action against these fellows and there will probably be some severe examples made in the next week or two.
