Stanley Society of America declares its aims and odd humor
A theatrical polemic introduces The Stanley Society of America led by The Rev. Roger Cowan. The piece mocks federal aid and control while praising Rupert Stanley and spoof politics. It claims aims like electing a Negro president and a Red Chinese vice-president in 1964, with satire about horses and the Stanley Steamer emblem.
