Obie, in my state they were called "Blue Laws" - I suspect "blue noses" might be part of the reference. Businesses could not open on the sabbath, and later businesses of ill repute such as the sale of demon alcohol.

Texas, by county, still has many blue laws including "wet" counties that won't sell beer on Sunday.
