You probably think that learning about the Great Depression is depressing. But behind those sad facts are truths that will help your child get a better grasp of the world. History tells tales of people, their decisions and what resulted from their actions. Perhaps the facts about great depression are depressing but they teach us never to commit the same mistakes again.

A Somewhat Opinionated Observation: Although my generation grew up during difficult times, we were spared the personal struggles faced by today's young folks who must adjust to the sometimes destructive onslaught on our cultural values by the Internet, television, movies, and smart phones. Today, the ever-present media and social networks are constantly in the face of those sometimes too young to understand its impact on their lives! Many if not most of today's school aged children will spend untold hours of their free time tweeting and face-booking to find out who's dating who and why. My generation used that time developing our living skills by organizing and playing adult-free games in churchyards, exploring the neighborhood, reading books, assisting parents with household chores, and communicating eye to eye. Our media was the local newspaper and a few radio programs that consisted of news, clean comedy, adventure stories, and music. We also had the ten-cent Saturday triple-feature movies where our heroes fought the bad guys and always won usually without the display of spilled blood. Families worried about unemployment and health, knew their neighbors, and enjoyed their community. They helped each other. Most of us did not want to disappoint our parents in any way. When told to do something, we usually did it without comment. Seldom did I hear parents raise their voices in frustration over their child's behavior. While I was raised during one of the most difficult periods in our country's history, I remain convinced that preparation for life was much less stressful compared to the challenges faced by children today. It was a simpler time.

Daphne and Jacob Miller wrote this book with a vivid recollection, which is communicated instantly to the reader. It is unusual and innovative to have the same story told in two different but harmonizing voices. The style is factual, laconic, and detailed it is the more impressive for its lack of exaggeration. The facts speak for themselves with immense authority. Daphne and Jake Miller would like to pay a distinctive tribute to the people who defied the odds and emerged from the Great Depression and World War II to lead highly successful lives. Page 38 from the book: ..."one another without being caught. I think we liked each other. ..."(Daphne) When we were staying in the Hampton Roe area of London my cousin Joan and I were in the kitchen doing some chores. We suddenly heard one of those buzz bombs coming in our direction. We heard the engine suddenly cut out. This meant it was starting its drop earthward. We heard the the Vl bomb coming down as we stood there in the kitchen, both facing each other. We were scared so bad both of us looked as if our eyes were going to pop out of our heads. In our panic we forgot the stair case shelter, dived to the floor of the kitchen and pulled a small throw-rug over our heads! After the V1 bomb came down we had a good laugh at our stupidity. ************************************************ Page 119 from the book. ",,,about those women that would catch one´s eyes in a flash was their bare boobs. The boobs hung down their chests for about sixteen inches before you could see the nipples on the lower end. "The Island Commander who we dubbed a spoil sport, thought us Allied Military people did not need such a viewing. The Island Commander called the local Papuab Chief and his wife to a council meeting. Much to our regret he got the Chief and his wife to understand his directions. He would issue two white Navy T-shirts (U.S. Navy underwear tops) to them for each female. He ordered the Chief to see that they wore one of those T-shirts at all times. "So far so good...in no time from our viewing point we could see white clad females along the forest and on the beaches. In a couple of days we had to make a run for another load of supplies and the personnel of a U. S. Navy Construction Battalion. "As we were entering the port on our return the forward main deck of our ship suddenly became occupied by more than the normal number of people who should be there. Those men on the forwarded deck were the first ones to view a great scene. The natives had cut holes in the chest of the T-shirts"...

The temperature is about 40 degrees on this cold November morning. It's only 6:30 AM, but a line has already formed outside of the kitchen. One by one, the men come from different directions and place themselves at the back of the line. They shuffle back and forth, from one foot to the other, trying to keep warm. Their noses can smell the freshly brewed coffee and the hot doughnuts as they are served to the men ahead of them. One by one, the men enter the kitchen, have a quick bite to eat, and then head out to the street. They fan out and go from business to business, looking for work. At the end of the day, they come back here to this line and wait their turn for a small bowl of soup. And so begins the fascinating history of the Great Depression. It's hard to imagine America ever faced times so hard, but in this book, just for kids, you'll find out what happened and what it was like to be a kid during these times.
