Comments made in the year 1955!That's only 52 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 $20.00."
"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. A quarter a
pack is ridiculous. "
" Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime 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 started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost
29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible
to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the
girls."
"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let
Clark Gable gets by with saying **** in GONE WITH THE WIND, it
seems every new movie has either **** or **** 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 $75,000 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 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 to have to hire someone to
watch their kids so they can both work."
"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be
getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
"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
congress."
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously
doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha any more for a weekend,
it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
"No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too
rich for my blood."
"If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."
"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 $20.00."

I would not want to go backward in spite of how good some of the nostalgia sounds.
