HIGH HEMLINEÍ R ecently , a report has been released which was conducted by an organization known as Hollywood Social Studies. Officials of 128 representative cities in the United States were sent a ques tionnaire. One reply per city was sought from the police chief, vice squad commander, or juvenile division commander—men and wom en in a position to know what they were talking about. All 56 of the nation’s largest cities, a quarter o f a million and up, were sur veyed; 72 others, ranging down to 10,000 population, were also included in this survey. Officials in over half of the largest cities and almost half of those in the smaller cities replied. On the central question, the largest cities voted in a ratio of 31:1 that there is a probable connection between mini skirts and the rise o f sex crimes. A girl is more likely to be a victim o f a sex crime, including statutory rape, if she wears a mini skirt. Replies also were 56:2 (56 yes, 2 no) that the combination of pornography and revealing clothing is more dangerous than either alone. It was unanimously believed that provocative clothing, such as mini skirts, could and probably did encourage some emotionally immature men toward sex crime. It was reported 43:8 that the general decline of morals among youth had as a contributing cause the short skirt fad. The report o f police officials was 32:1 to the effect that the ever shorter dresses on young girls should be considered a possible cause of increased cases o f molestation. Some of the cities reporting said that they were not in a position to report because they did not have statistics available on this particular point. All reported that the sex crime rise began in 1964. Prior to 1964, skirts invariably cov ered the knees when girls were either standing or seated, but at that time the skirts began to slide above the knees when a girl sat down. Later that year designers of Paris and London displayed fashions inches above the knee and the “mini skirt” was born. One juvenile bureau commander of an Eastern city of over 350,000 reported that “the unavoidable sight of short skirts causes an inner problem to all normal boys.” The police chief o f another large city thought most boys had such a problem from the very nature of human beings. Mini skirts were brought into fashion by a designer named Mary Quant of London, England, who is recognized as “ the mother of the mini skirt” . She was quoted in a 1967 news article, in which she stated, “Mini clothes are symbolic of those girls (like herself) who didn’t want to wait until dark to ‘seduce a man into bed’.” The mini clothes fad was invented and created by one who delib erately set about seducing young men and older men as well. From a city of approximately % of a million people, the com mander of the juvenile department wrote: “ I personally feel we are in great trouble; immorality has taken over and if you attempt to do anything about it, they say you are old-fashioned.” Many others expressed the same concern over the growing problem. The majority o f those replying thought that the provocative styles even added to race tensions. One police chief wrote, “ very definitely” .
A Jewish boy accepted a tract, "Isaiah's Por trait of Messiah" and immediately asked, "Can you tell . me more about this?" There on a street corner in Chicogo a 12 year old boy listened intently to the skillful presentation of the Scriptures and ac cepted Jesus Christ as his Messiah and Sav iour. A middle-aged Jew ess, after hearing the gospel for several years at Miami Beach called and said, "I am terribly distressed. Please come over. I must find the Lord today."
