Decade - 1950s

When this writer started driving in the late '50's, low test gasoline (roughly equivalent to today's 87 octane) was $.27 a gallon. High test (about 100 octane) was $.32.

Keep in mind that, in those days, the dollar was based on the gold standard, and gold was $35/oz.

For many families it was a treat to stay in a motel that had an outdoor pool. Back then you took your car everywhere instead of flying. You would generally drive all day then find a place at night. You were most likely to be heading to the beach or the mountains!

Following the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Communists made efforts to promote revolutions in Europe and the US. In 1919, President Wilson appointed A. Mitchell Palmer as his attorney-general. His attempts to root out the communists, anarchists, and other radicals became known as The Red Scare. Bombs were found by the US Post Office, addressed to prominent politicians and capitalists. An anarchist was blown up outside of Palmer’s home. News was leaked to the press that the government was investigating important Americans and there was a belief that a radical overthrow of the government was in the works. Palmer enlisted the services of an attorney, J. Edgar Hoover, to help enforce provisions of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act (1917/1918). A series of “Palmer Raids” were held in November, 1919, and thousands of anarchists, immigrants, and communists were rounded up. Many were detained without being charged and many were simply deported back to their native country with no evidence that they had done anything wrong. Palmer continued his raids despite finding no evidence of any kind of communist plot. Palmer claimed that May 1, 1920 (the socialist Labor Day) would bring massive demonstrations against the government. Nothing happened. The public became aware that Palmer was detaining people without cause, conducting searches without warrants, and deporting immigrants for no reason. Some even suggested he was making up the crisis so he could gain the nomination of the Democrats for president in 1920. Palmer’s popularity fell and the Red Scare came to an end as quickly as it started.

Some of the best New England local color writers include Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Freeman, and Sarah N. Cleghorn. Their works often depicted the charm and quirks of rural New England life, focusing on the unique dialect, customs, and landscapes of the region.

When a person thought someone or something was square they would draw the shape of a square with their forefingers in the air (out of sight of the so called "square").

You need to specify what country you are talking about- no one was in power worldwide. I can tell you who was in power in the USA, the UK, the USSR and China. In the USA it was President Harry S. Truman until January 1953, when Dwight D. Eisenhower became President until 1961. In the UK, Winston Churchill was re-elected as Prime Minister in 1950- he stood down due to failing health in 1955 and was replaced by Anthony Eden. Eden was forced to resign in 1957 following the Suez Crisis, and was replaced by Harold MacMillan, who was PM until 1963. In the USSR, Stalin was leader until his death early in 1953- he was replaced by a quartet of statesmen who governed by 'Collective Leadership'; they were Georgi Malenkov, Nikita Krushchev, Nikolai Bulganin and Vyacheslav Molotov. Although Malenkov was effective Soviet leader to begin with, Krushchev had all but ousted him and the other two by 1957, due to their complicity in Stalin's atrocities, and assumed the role of Soviet leader. In China, Mao Tse-Tung was leader throughout the 1950s (and, indeed, up until his death in 1976). General Charles deGaulle was French President from 1958 to 1969. For other countries, you'll need to look up their recent histories on Wikipedia to be more specific.

The 1950s was a time that the veterans of World War 2 were still being celebrated. Their actions helped to bring the country back from the affects of the Great Depression and their success in the war as well as the well-being and sense of accomplishment other citizens felt had more impact than previous experiences. It was a time of rebuilding and new opportunities.
