Which war? People have the same types of jobs during a war as during peace time, but a few less people have jobs providing luxury goods and services and quite a few more are working in defense-related industries and in the military. * Some cared for the dead and the dying, * Some worked on farms and in defense plants, * Some got wealthy servicing the black market. * A few were not effected by the war at all, but the vast majority were. * Some worked a regular job and did volunteer work regularly. * Some spent the war locked in internment camps. * In Alcatraz the prisoners built things for the services and did their laundry. * For many, life went on while awaiting that dreaded War Department Telegam.

Musical theater in the 1920's to the 1940's was accomplished through the use of an orchestra. When the actors and actresses were performing live, they sang most of their parts or sang some of their parts and talked the rest of the time. Films were first silent and the words for the actors and actress were printed on the screen while an orchestra played live in the theater. Later, they found a way to make sound record on the movie film.

I don't have a complete answer .But i recall my parents mention Sullivans Hotel on 116th st (possibly not there that far back) Curley's Hotel is another one I recall hearing about. However,if it means enough to you,I would suggest calling the Rockaway Wave local newspaper,I believe they either have extensive historical archives or at least have access to them. One more suggestion,is to read the article in answers.com after doing a search for Rockawat Beach,and check there bibliography,or list of reference material,make u check answers.com, not wikianswers...Good luck.

After the end of World War 2 countries like Britain had fought a war in which it had to focus its entire economy on building and maintaining its war machine. Britain was in a state of total war, which effectively bankrupted the nation.

Along with economical problems, global political view on the ideology of empires was frowned upon. This put nations such as Britain, France, Holland and Belgium in difficult political positions, especially with the USA which had its own ambitions to secure its position as the new superpower along with the Soviet Union.

Britain however made attempts to maintain most of its Empire despite international pressure.

There have been many Statue of Liberty stamps of different values. You will need to consult the catalogs. Most libraries will have a copy of Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of the World. First of all, you have to identify the specific stamp or card. That in itself can be a daunting task, but most of the catalogs are well illustrated with lots of information. Once you know what item you have, the catalog will provide a set of prices that can be used to estimate value.

WEll, given that the UN was not actually ratified into being until after the war was over in 1945, they would have had a hard time battling Communism, wouldn't they? NOt that the UN would particularly have been interested in battling one form of ideology over another, as part of its charter is to broker peace instead of arbitrate over disputes. Besides, Communism was no particular threat, especially to the US in the 40s, because the USA was at war with Japan and were actually allies with the Soviet Union throughout the coflict, running convoys of supplies to northern Russian cities like Murmansk, all the time at terrible risk of a mauling from the German submarines that picked them off like chickens.
