The Wikipedia entry on Harshaw, AZ, explains: In 1963, Harshaw ran afoul of the U.S. Forest Service. By this time, the town housed about 70 inhabitants, and consisted mostly of collapsed buildings, abandoned cars, and run down shacks. The only well-maintained structures in town were the Roman Catholic Church, and a small school.[6][16] The borders of the Coronado National Forest, established on July 1, 1953,[5] included the town of Harshaw, and because most of the residents never actually gained titles to their land, which could have been done starting in the 1880s, the government’s property included the town.[29] Because no titles existed, and the land was then owned by the federal government, the residents were labeled as squatters. Further, once the National Forest was formed, obtaining titles to the land was no longer an option. Harshaw’s rundown landscape proved to be an irritant to the Forest Service who, in 1963, tried to work with the residents to facilitate a plan to relocate the remaining families and clean up the town site.[6][16] The relocation efforts were not successful, however, as a few residents remained in Harshaw at least into the 1970s.[2]

Troubles caused by harsh toilet tissue
We’ve posted before about the idea of “toilet tissue illness” that Scott Tissues invented and then advertised heavily around 1930. The idea being that if you used the wrong toilet paper (anything not made by Scott Tissues) you might end up a bed-bound invalid. Here’s another example of that campaign. Good Housekeeping – May 1930

Miss Civil Defense
There were innumerable “Miss Civil Defense” contests in the 1950s, that era of duck and cover. Even Hollywood got into the act, as you can
