A Look Back At 1961

In 1961:

     The U.S. population was 183,691,481

     Life expectancy was 70.2 years

     Average yearly income was $5,735

     Federal Minimum Wage was $1.10

     The Chevy Impala was the most popular U.S. made car at $5,380.

Try one (or more) of these delicious recipes and take the blah out of vegetables.  See more on page 11 of Jan. Life-style
