Re: In 1955;

[Guest guest]

The little black VW convertible looks exactly like the one I bought in Wiesbaden in 1963. Even the color.

Comments made in the year 1955!

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.

in 1954 it was 4 cents regular mail and 5 cents air mail from Oahu T. H. (Territory of Hawaii)

If they raise the minimum wage

to $1.00, 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.

got 3 cents less at the taxi pumps in 1971 on 2nd and Lee

I'm afraid to send my kids to the

movies any more. Ever since they

let 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 .

watched this at 2 am in PA

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.

Jolting Joe DiMaggio

I never thought I'd see the day

all our kitchen appliances would

be electric. They're 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.

they had these cash registers in 1966 when I worked here and there

It won't be long before young

couples are going to 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.

Senator Sam Rayburn and cronies

The fast food restaurant is

convenient for a quick meal,

but I seriously doubt they

will ever catch on.

had my first big mac in Fayettevill, NC

There is no sense going on short

trips anymore for a weekend. It

costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay

in a hotel.

the cars look real familiar

No one can afford to be sick

anymore. At $15.00 a day in

the hospital, it's too rich for

my blood.

did my aid and scrub tech (aborted at 8 weeks) in similiar conditions at the old SWMC

If they think I'll pay 30 cents

for a haircut, forget it.

we were in Fort Chaffee when he did basic and followed him to Germany

Know any friends who would get a kick out of these, pass this on!

Be sure and send it to your kids and grandkids
