54 YEARS AGO
Here is a copy of an E-mail we got that has a bunch of funny reminders that
some of you might enjoy reading.

It goes as follows.
>For those of us who actually do remember and for those of you that don't,
this is exactly what it was ACTUALLY LIKE! Just imagine. Subject:
54 Years Ago
>Comments made back in 1955!
>That's only 54 years ago!
>"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible
to buy a week's groceries for $10.00.
>Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1,000.00 will
only buy a used one.
>If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit, 20 cents a pack is ridiculous..
>"Did you hear the Post Office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter.
>"If they raise the minimum wage to $!.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store
>When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon.
>Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.
>I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by
with saying Damn in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or
Damn in it.
>"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon
by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for
it down in Texas.
>Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year, just to
play ball. It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.
>I never thought I'd see the day all of our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are
even making electric typewriters now.
>It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having
to work to make ends meet.
>It won't be long before young couples are going have to hire someone to watch their
kids so they can both work.
>I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign
business.
>Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the government takes half our income
in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government
>Thw drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they
will ever catch on.
>There is no sense in going on short trips anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $2.00
a night to stay in a hotel.
>No one can afford to be sick anywhere,, at $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich
for my blood
>If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it!
