How did people in the 1950s afford to live like they did?
Q. People in the 1950s married at 18 or 19 years old, had a child a year, bought a home and had a TV and a car all by the time they were 25 years old. And people lived by one income, which was the husband's, since most women were stay at home moms back then. How did people afford to do that back then?

A. Things were cheaper in the 50's compared to their salaries. Very little things were imported, it was all made in the US that kept plenty of jobs for the working people and the pay was good. We weren't at war and spending lots of money for that. The housewives didn't just set at home. They cooked all of the meals and packed lunches for the husband and kids. You ate left overs instead of throwing them out. You seldom ate out. The moms also made most of the clothing for the family and drapes and slipcovers, and quilts for the house.

What kind of plastic was used in vintage 1950s dolls and is there a way to eliminate their unpleasant odor?
Q. These dolls made in the early 1950s are know as hard plastic dolls and the plastic they are molded from often takes on an unpleasant smell when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. I would like to find a method of eliminating this odor. Thank you!
Asked by Lucy - Tue Mar 6 17:28:43 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The smell is probably due to mold or bacteria. If the dolls are dressed, then the smell is probably coming from their clothes. If the entire doll is made out of plastic, then you have to clean the plastic. Take some bleach (the kind used in laundry), dilute it (to test it out just use a few drops of the bleach and ~10 times as much water), dip a paper towel in that, and try cleaning the doll with it. Clean a part that is not normally visible, such as the back or the bottom. It shouldn't damage it, but if it does it's really out of the way. If it does not damage it then you can use bleach to clean it. The bleach will kill both mold and bacteria. After you wipe off the doll with bleach wipe it off again with a wet paper towel to get… [cont.]

A. The Civil Rights Movement is sometimes defined as a struggle against racial segregation that began in 1955 when Rosa Parks, the "seamstress with tired feet," refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Alabama. Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 Supreme Court case that attacked the notion of "separate but equal," has also been identified as the catalyst for this extraordinary period of organized boycotts, student protests, and mass marches. These legendary events, however, did not cause the modern Civil Rights Movement, but were instead important moments in a campaign of direct action that began two decades before the first sit-in demonstration.

Was housing more affordable in the 1950s in relationship to average income?
Q. I once heard a sociologist on a PBS program talking about how the cost of housing in the 1950s was much lower.

A. Depends on your interpretation. 1. Housing took up a smaller part of the total household budget in the 1950s than it does now. It now takes about 40% whereas it used to take 30%. 2. Houses back then tended to be much smaller, and more people rented than owned. The percentage of households owning has gone up significantly. 3. The cost of buying a house, as expressed in terms of median income, has risen: 4. So it is clear that a typical American family in the 50s could not afford the house that a typical American family lives in today. That leaves the question of whether people are paying more (i.e. a higher percentage of their income) because they want more and are willing to pay for it; because they have no choice; or… [cont.]

What effects would Communism bring to families in the 1950s?
Q. I know what communism is, but what exactly would happen if it did start to become popular in the United States in the early 1950s? I want a detailed answer but nothing exaggerated please. :) Thanks..

A. It doesn't matter if it was popular or not because the US government would never allow it to occur. However had this nation turned communist we would probably follow the USSR because on paper communism works but people are naturally greedy and always looking to get ahead thus people will never be equal. I feel the nation would stagnate economically and eventually turn capitalist again but this is all speculation.
