MARQUETTE–Approximately 20 organizations were represented at the formation of a Marquette Citizens for Decent Literature group during a meeting in the Peter White Public Library. Mrs. W. L. Casler, temporary chairman, conducted the session at which operations of the Cincinnati Chapter of Citizens for Decent Literature Inc. were reviewed. The group decided to “tak[e] facts about obscene literature and the social and moral consequences of exposure to obscene material” and “employ this background of awakened public opinion to see to it that enforcement of obscenity laws and prosecution of offenders is carried out.” Mrs. Casler named a nominating committee to present a slate of candidates for the group at its next meeting in January. The committee includes: Mrs. James A. Brisson, chairman, and Mrs. George Lynott, Robert H. Clark, Mrs. George Lelvis and Mr. Brisson.
