| Here in their own words is an intimate look at the everyday life of an American steel mill office worker's family, from the depression in the 1930's, to the mid 1940's, almost through World War II. The father of a young family with origins in Coatesville, Chester County travels each summer from Claymont, Delaware, where he retained a job throughout with the Worth Steel Company, to Camp Chesapeake, North East, Maryland, and receives letters. Household chores, shopping, including homefront rationing, dental health, a surprising collection of public amusements, including the movies, or motion pictures, organized amateur baseball, and natural swimming venues, including trips to Atlantic City, are described, often in detail including costs. Employment and budget concerns, raffles, and the work place, including office politics are discussed. Camp Chesapeake was organized by the Coatesville YMCA in 1916 based on the "Four Square" camp principles. |
