Entertainment and Socialising

Had a lot of spare time in comparison to teenagers today; reading, listening to radio

Not allowed to attend dances "...my family were very strict about that", went to

church socials, movies with workmates

"Radio was very important because that was your entertainment at home";

plays, serials, music

Read novels from Frankton library

Did not do a lot of dating; a lot of boys had gone away to war; lack of transport had

an effect.

A lot of activity during war in Hamilton; Airforce, YMCA voluntary canteen, Church

Only a few American service men in Hamilton
