SPANKED WIVES FORM CLUB
Sioux City, Ia. — I am going to ask a favor for our club, and hope that you will grant it. I am a young married woman and I organized a club of twelve other married women between the ages of nineteen and forty. We call our club the W. O. S. H. Club — meaning wives of spanking husbands. Our husbands always spank us when we need it, and we admire them for it, and we know that clubs like ours will prevent many divorces.
Most all wives need to be spanked about every so often, and it really makes them like their husbands more and brings couples closer together and also makes home life something to be proud of. We expect to have thirty members by a month from now, and we always insist that they buy a Liberty before they come to the meetings, which are held once a week on Thursday or sometimes Friday.
It was through your magazine that we got interested in forming a club. We have voted to give three dollars to the lady, married or single, who sends us the best letter about spanking. After we decide which letter is best, we will send it to Vox Pop to be printed in Liberty, and the three dollars will be sent to the winner.
We hope you will help us, as we want all the information we can get about spanking. — Reta Rae.
[We receive quite a lot of letters about spanking— it seems to be in the air — and we feel sure Mrs. Rae will hear plenty on the subject. — Vox Pop Editor.]
A lot of interesting stuff here. Of course if such an club actually existed in Sioux City it would mean that an awful lot of spanking was going on in Iowa marriages in 1936 [that would most likely be true whether a spanking centered club existed or not] and that a group of women, who were dang proud of the fact their husband's spanked them, had formed said club
Vox Pop was the name of a two page weekly feature in Liberty that seemed to be a combination letters to the editor and off-beat news. If Liberty did indeed ever publish a 'best letter about spanking' I've yet to see it. I like the fact that the editor says that the magazine receives 'a lot of letters about spanking'. I think writing letters is what spankos did before we had the internet as a playground.
More on W.O.S.H. Club history next time.
Our illustration isn't directly related to the 'club' and in fact is more than a decade removed from our main subject; but let's face it a picture really is worth a thousand words. Without the art CSR would be a fairly dull, for many anyway, place to visit. 
Examples follows:
that wife or girlfriend spanking stop!
