1954
Salk was busy working on his vaccine for Polio ,Russia was busy preparing
Sputnick. That's what was worrying our government that year.
How about the working man? I found one. Let's call him C.M..
He worked at Chrysler Auto.
Thanks Blogger! I have his pay-stubs.These little slivers of paper will crumble if handled
anymore. Blogger lets them take their place in history.
I met his widow .
He maintained a household of seven ,including himself.
That's truly a breadwinner.
Pay stubs at the time were 'gold colored'
I put green currency theme as a backdrop.
Explained to me , as soon as guys got their pay-checks and
walk out the Chrysler Company doors, wives were there to greet them and
get handed-over the checks. Perfect policing.
Cops doing their 'busts' could not time it any better than spouses.
The idea a check, of about $54.00 per week sustaining a household of seven with no public assistance
seems
mind boggling today (2015).
His widow liquidated her holdings, then moved back to her birth place ,the State of Georgia .
With
that Southern modesty and compassion she sent a 'can of peanuts'.
