From the front page of the Los Angeles Times 70 years ago today, Jan. 26, 1938:
Wives of Spanking Husbands
Form Girls’ Auxiliary to ClubSIOUX FALLS (S. D.) Jan. 25 (AP) — Wives of Spanking Husbands’ Club, organized in Sioux City, Iowa, and parent organization of fifty-nine such clubs throughout the nation according to its own figures–reached out for another slice of territory today.
The Iowa housewives who consider it a mark of esteem for their husbands to wield a disciplinary hairbrush once in a while, announced plans today for a junior auxiliary–Daughters of Spanking Parents.
A letter received here from Sioux City and signed “Rita Rae, general delivery,” told of plans for the new organization for which she claimed an initial membership of seventeen. .....

MERELY SPANKED
Mrs. Rae is the president of the Wives of Spanking Husbands, which was organized last June 26 under the broad-minded slogan “Spare the hairbrush and spoil the wife.”
“Our husbands don’t beat us,” the Sioux City woman was careful to explain. “They just turn us over their knees and give us a good sound spanking.”

Well, I will not write about the idea of a club for spanked daughters. That is out of time.
But I do love the idea of such a club for wives! I know about the Spen cer Plan and that some try to practice it. That not for me. Spencer Plan means that he punishes her and she punishes him if necessary..
That's not my kind of partnership. I think that a man must be the head of the family.
I do not like the idea of having a man over my knees.
I think he should show me who is boss.
Do not get me wrong. I have mind of my own. I earn my money.
But in a relationship I want to trust in him. He shall give me some guidance and security. He should look after me and care for me, in good tim es and in bad times.
So, why can't we have some club like this nowadays???
I think I would join, just to meet other girls with the same feelings and desire.
