won't tolerate it," said Duphily, a civic leader in the otherwise quiet
New England community, which calls itself the Cranberry Capital of the
World. "No person should be allowed to talk in that manner."
Soon, Middleborough residents who do could risk a $20 fine.

And generally shows a lack of education and self control.
