I can tell you a little, based on what I remember. Mother woke me at midnight one night. I heard car horns and firecrackers outside our house. Mother said, ';It's New Year's Eve, and 1939 is starting now.'; What else I remember: Mother had two (s) house dresses. She could wear one while the other was in the wash. She was a stay-at-home Mom, of course -- like all the other Moms I knew. Dad was a big fan of radio, and we had a nice big Philco in the living room. Dad loved to listen to baseball games, which at that time were far more popular than football, if you can imagine that! No one had air conditioning. In the summer we would sit on our front porch and say ';hello'; to all the neighbors who would be walking up and down our street. Dad was lucky he had a job with the city, so we were not as desperate as many people were when they lost their jobs and homes. We even went to a movie once in a (great!) while -- Dad and Mother only had to pay 45 cents each for admission, if we got there before the prices changed at 6 o-clock (to 65 cents!) My ticket cost only 17 cents! A big attraction at the movie theater was a game called Ten-O-Win. Between the two movies (in black and white, for sure) the house lights would come up, and one of the uniformed ushers would pull the Ten-O-Win machine onto the theater stage. It was a big wheel with two clock-like ';hands.'; The theater manager would spin one hand clockwise, and the other hand counter clockwise. Where the hands stopped would determine which ticket holder would win a prize -- sometimes as much as $5!





Hope this helps.
