Times were VERY different then.
Remember, I grew up in Central Ohio.
I was in my thirties before I met a person of Asian origin or an American Indian. It was in The Villages when I first had home cooked Italian food. I was in my twenties when I had my first Bagel. Pizza came to our town in the 1950's, when I was a teen. I have never had anyone rob me or break into our home and neither has this happened to any of either of our large families. The only time I was ever struck or hit is when I was spanked as a small child. The first time I saw anyone really beat up was the recent tape shown constantly on the news of teens beating the hell out of another student on a school bus. I walked to school about ten blocks, different directions, all 12 years. Nothing bad ever happened to me or my friends or anyone I knew. BUT the elementary principal liked to "hug" us. He later committed suicide after he impregnated a sixth grade girl.

Everything I wore, practically everything was ironed. It was the only homemaking job I grew up to HATE.
I would rather clean the toilets than iron. A lot of my dresses and shorts and stuff were home sewn. Our house was CLEAN and we were clean.... But.. no one showered, we all took baths. There were five children in Sweetie's family, in a very nice home and in a lovely neighborhood, but they only had ONE bathroom.

Remember all the Burma Shave signs along the "highways"? Each one had a portion of a rhyme on it and you had to wait until you got to the next sign for the next part (cars didn't go 80 mph then). There was no such thing as a Rest Area with restrooms, either......only the side of the road . (It was a lonnnng way between towns and gas stations.) My grandmother would make me dresses from the flour and/or sugar sacks, so I always got a new dress when we went to Granny's.
