1939. Hitler bullied Europe, and took over a few countries, and bamboozled the Brits. By the end of the year, most of Europe ganged up on him, and a phony war had millions of men idling in trenches eating their Christmas turkeys. Back home in Oz, the drunkometer was breathlessly awaited, pigeon pies were on the nose, our military canteens were sometimes wet and sometimes dry. Nasho via a lottery was back for young men, Sinatra led his bobby-soxers, while girls of all ages swooned for crooner Bing.

There was plenty of petrol for motorists in NZ and Britain, but not here, so Bob Menzies cruised to another election win over Labor.

In 1958, the Christian brothers bought a pub and raffled it; some clergy thought that Christ would not be pleased. Circuses were losing animals at a great rate. Officials were in hot water because the Queen Mother wasn't given a sun shade; it didn't worry the lined-up school children, they just fainted as normal. School milk was hot news though home deliveries of ice was forgotten.. Ron Williams' daughter made the cover of this book also.

HARD COVERS

These five books are available in hard cover as well as in soft. The content for each pair is the same, the difference is the cover. For a small extra price, the hard cover gives the buyer a better quality product with a better look, and a nicer feel. They are books that can readily adorn a coffee table. They are suitable for someone who is a bit special on a special occasion.


Only five Titles are yet in hard cover. I expect to have another four at least by September. These will 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970. Perhaps a few more.
