Wingham Public School Class of 7&8 1955-6
Comments made in the year 1955

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 $14.00

Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000.00 will only buy a used one.

if cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit; 20 cents a pack is ridiculous!

Did you hear the post office is thinking of charging 7 cents 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 first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd better off leaving the car in the garage.

If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.
