[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1577559, member: 24816"] Herofan, that sounds very similar to what I have heard too. I'm sure my grandparents or parents didn't know about the Beatles, maybe Beetle Bailey, or the real six legged beetles like June bugs. In my life time the early years of Japanese beetles was a memorable experience. Most the older folks I knew never really talked about personal experiences from their or their families perspective of the Depression. They always quoted somebody as saying they didnt know it was any different they ate "old ham" right on through it. Most people around here raised sizeable gardens and canned and preserved everything they could. Most folks would fatten some hogs and cure the hams, shoulders, wouldn't let any of the rest of it go to waste either. My dad was born in 1925. I reckon that they lived off of the farm and what his dad made as tenant farmer, that dad said when he got his first job he was making so much money he didnt know what to do with it. Unfortunately, he like everyone else figured it out soon enough. I think a lot of the change has to do with our higher standards of living. We think we have to have things that our grandparents never dreamed about. As for the hippie culture, I never heard much about it in terms of local either. Used to hear stories about transient folks coming through and helping on the farm, some would come through annually and stay in my grandparents home while they worked then would move on. [/QUOTE]
