I was 7 in '62. My parents' mortgage was ELEVEN DOLLARS/mo. I used to go to the bank with my mom and the teller stamped her book with her payment. We lived in a shake-shingled Dutch colonial in a beautiful middle-class neighborhood. This was an average mortgage payment in that day.
As for kids behaving in public in those days...did we have a choice? I didn't know you COULD misbehave in public!

I remember queuing at the bank on Friday afternoon with the savings book. The only thing I thought was missing from the movie was the green stamps and books.

Not only would you parents straiten you out, but so would the neighbors.
