I remember playing jacks. Lived near the Staley Starch factory in Decatur, Il. Someone from the family worked there and gave us the older balls that they used to bounce on the screens to let the starch drip thru, otherwise, the starch would create a film and took too long to drip thru. Those things were like the Super balls that came out later that bounced about 15 ft off the ground! Moved to CA in 1957 so it was before that. Does anyone remember the plastic film screen that you put on the TV screen and drew on it? Had something to do with the TV program that was on at that time? Don't remember the name of the show.
