Didn't have things like that when I grew up during WW2. I was 9 when it finished, we had a victory party in our street but couldn't go be cause I had a boil on my bum and was unable to sit at the table with a kaolin poultice on it(my bum that is not the table). How my mother ever got the poultice to stay I'll never know.

Must have been an interesting time to be around boils aside

Australia just after WWII was the proverbial garden of opportunity

You could pick and choose your career-unlike today where you take whats given

Mind you the Church was all powerful back then so I'm not sure I'd have been in my element

How things can change so much in 60 years is scary?
