A fun look back at 1955. Except for those of you out there who are whippersnappers or well beyond the age of being whippersnappers, we were all about 12-13 and certainly can remember most of this.

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 $2,000.00 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 $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.

I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they

let Clark Gable get by with saying snip in GONE WITH THE WIND,

it seems every new movie has either HELL or snip 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 $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

No one can afford to be sick anymore. 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.
