I turned 70 this year and I got a polio shot at school. My allowance was 35 cents a week and with that I could go to the afternoon movie on Saturday for 17 cents, have a coke for a nickel and popcorn for ten cents. We got our first TV when I was 17 but that was in Nova Scotia, they didn't have any stations til then. Fish & Chips were 35 cents so was a banana split (can you tell what my favorite foods were).
