 Life was very different in the 1950s than it is today. Divorce was not common, and most women with children didn’t work. Children didn’t come home after school to an empty house as many do today. Families did more things together. One of the favorite family pastimes was a drive in the country. Gas was cheap. People had big cars, and the whole family could ride comfortably. Before TV became popular, people talked to each other more. Children didn’t have as many toys, and they played more games together. On Saturday, the neighborhood theaters had special movies for the children. The shows cost only 25 cents. People stayed at one job for most of their lives. They didn’t change job for every few years like they do today. They also lived in the same house for a long time. They didn’t move as much.
 Services were better in the 50s. Doctors used to come to a sick person’s house. Milkmen delivered fresh dairy products to homes. There were no self-service gas stations, and attendants used to wash your car windows and check your oil free of charge.
