2. President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. The Act “established old-age benefits for retirees, benefits for the jobless, as well as aid for dependent mothers and children, victims of work-related accidents, people who are blind, and those who have physical disabilities. Under the Act, the U.S. government started collecting the Social Security tax from workers in 1937 and began making payments in 1940.”

8. 1935 in American Radio

KhanAcademy.org tells us that “After being introduced during World War I, radios became a common feature in American homes of the 1920s. Hundreds of radio stations popped up over the course of the decade. These stations developed and broadcasted news, serial stories, and political speeches. Much like in print media, advertising space was interspersed with entertainment. Yet, unlike with magazines and newspapers, advertisers did not have to depend on the active participation of consumers: Advertisers could reach out to anyone within listening distance of the radio. On the other hand, a broader audience meant advertisers had to be more conservative and careful not to offend anyone.”

Eh.net.Encyclopedia adds that "Radio broadcasting was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it provided the public with far better entertainment than most people were accustomed to. As a result, its popularity grew rapidly in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by 1934, 60 percent of the nation’s households had radios. One and a half million cars were also equipped with them. The 1930s were the Golden Age of radio. It was so popular that theaters dared not open until after the extremely popular 'Amos ‘n Andy' show was over."

15. Depression-Era Dining

The Great Depression (1929-41) caused widespread food shortages of meat, milk, and other pantry staples. During this economic downturn, people learned to stretch their dollars and avoid waste by eating simple meals. Encyclopedia.com tells us that “Cookbooks and radio programs offered recipes, including those for ‘poor man's cake’ (a cake made without flour) and green tomato mincemeat, a kind of relish. Instead of buying canned food, women would take the fresh produce from their own gardens and can, pickle, and preserve it. A family of six could be fed on about five dollars of groceries each week, but every penny counted.”
