The churches were just bad but people seemed to want to go and do as they said. First thing I can recall in the shutting down of bars. They must have got in to govt. as that started. Hours were made shorter and all that. It maybe just that this is what happens when families move in but the odd part of this was that the college did a big poll on the pipe line and what happened to the people and it was not the people who lived in Alaska who brought in the high rate of VD, and crooks and all that but the people who came to work the pipe line and the big churches that came with that group. I found the really odd thing was that these fundamentalist seemed to be in every church Mormons, or any Ch. group. These people were in the college and in business. We had a group that took us to court but thank God the judge would not take the case from them. Said it was foolish. If you recall the Blue laws of NE it was sort of like we would have them all back. You would see people in college reading Bibles to other kids pushing what they wanted. It would even turn up in classes where I knew one women that said the head guy from one church came to class to have them stop teaching some thing he did not like. Very odd stuff for a person that grew up with folders of Church vs. State on the coffee table. When I left one ch. was fighting the police that they would take care of wife/child beaters and did not want the police into it at all. I do not know what happened with that.
