In his introductory comments to the July
1957 issue of PICTURE POST, Editor-in-Chief Nigel Pennyworth announced that the
edition would include an opinion poll on the "burning" question --
should teenage girls be caned?
The introduction to the poll explained that
"Miss Nineteen", a copy typist living with her discipline-minded
Aunty in Croydon Surrey, was subject to certain strict "house rules and
regulations", including one authorized date a week (Saturday night) and a
strict curfew of 11:30PM.
Unfortunately for "Miss
Nineteen", the naughty girl lost all track of time as her boyfriend tongue
kissed and cuddled her in his Ford Zodiac autocar. When "Miss Nineteen" (a.k.a.
"Miss Curfew Breaker") arrived home 20 minutes late, her visibly
displeased Aunty informed the now repentant girl that she would be given a
strict disciplinary caning the
next day at precisely 2PM.
"Miss Nineteen" put on only the
tops of her Baby Doll pyjamas and got into bed.
The repentant and frightened girl's soft hands cupped her girlishly
plump, ripely curvaceous bare buttocks as she apprehensively fretted over what
was going to happen to her and fervently wished she had not broken her strict
curfew!
On Sunday, the naughty girl was made to
stand in the Punishment Corner for one hour before her 2PM
date with the much feared, fiendishly supple Punishment Cane her Aunty had
procured some years earlier from Mr. Eric Wildman, President of The Corpun
Society. As you can see from the cover
picture, the girl was wearing a form fitting sweater, a tight skirt, tautly-suspendered,
ultra-sheer, tan-hued nylon stockings, and glossy white patent leather pumps
with 4 and 1/4" spike heels.
At precisely 2PM, Aunty
arrived, gripped "Miss Nineteen" by an elbow and marched the now
tearful girl to The Punishment Room.
Aunty gave the sobbing girl's snugly skirted bottom a few
"encouraging" hand smacks to speed her up. "Miss Nineteen"
could take only mincing little steps thanks to her tight skirt and high spike
heels! Once in The Punishment Room,
"Miss Nineteen" was ordered to removed her skirt and little pink
nylon knickers. Her Aunty then swished
the cane through the air to practice her stroke. The hissing sound made by the dreadful
Punishment Cane made an icy shiver convulse "Miss Nineteen's" shapely
spine!
