The year 1955 ... Thx Ramey H!

A friend of mine spent that whole year at Camp Younghans, Japan.

I was in Sciotoville when it was a really nice place.

Subject: The Year 1955

Did you hear the post office 
is 
thinking 
about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?

If 
they raise the minimum wage 
to $1, 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. 

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 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. 

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. 

The fast food restaurant 
is 
convenient 
for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch 
on. 

There is no sense 
going on short 
trips anymore for a 
weekend. It costs nearly $2 a night to stay in a 
hotel. 

No one can 
afford to be sick 
anymore. At $15 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. 

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

Be sure and send it to 
your kids
