10 PIECES OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT NEARLY KILLED …

Barrel-of-Fun. “A mechanical greased pig” is how Hill Standard’s Barrel-of-Fun was described in 1922. The barrel was built to be anchored in a slab of concrete, and kids were encouraged to dive over the top of the 140-pound steel cask or attempt to hug its smooth surface and spin themselves silly.
Log Swing. This playground contraption, built by Everwear Manufacturing Company, looked reminiscent of a teeter totter—except it had the unique ability to leap forward (or backward) and whack its unsuspecting victims.
Giant Strides. Everwear puzzlingly touted this gem as the “Seven League Boot” of the 1930s playground. Kids were meant to latch onto one of the lines of rope attached to the spinning wheel-like contraption atop the pole.
Teeter Ladder. Monkey bars and seesaws are both on their way out of most American playgrounds because they're seen as too perilous by concerned doctors and traumatized parents.
Racer Slides. Today, playgrounds have lumpy, plastic, short-barreled slides—but it wasn't always this way. As late as the 1990s, kids could climb a 30-foot metal slide and really get some speed, not to mention some burns as they sped along that sun-roasted metal [PDF].
Gymnasium. Narragansett Machine Company’s 1922 Gymnasium Outfit encouraged youngsters to climb to an apex of over 14 feet, according to the catalog. If Isaac Newton had been around to do some quick gravitational calculations, he would have discovered kids falling from the top would be doing about 20 mph by the time they hit the pavement below.
Merry-Go-Round. Before metal merry-go-rounds was Everwear's wooden model, a “portable,” 1500-pound oak monster that all but guaranteed wicked splinters.
Jungle Gym. Lawyers and regulators have all but killed the traditional Jungle Gym, a piece of playground equipment that was tall and unforgiving of mistakes.
Ocean Wave. The “undulating and wavelike motion” of this playground attraction gleefully brought seasickness ashore. The Ocean Wave was an old favorite by the time General Playground offered this version for $195 in 1940.
Poised Safety Swing. Everwear’s jaw-dropping contraption avoids all the anguish of smashing to earth by being set up in a pool, lakefront, or at the beach.

30 OF THE MOST POPULAR RECIPES OF THE 1950S

From allrecipes.com

Kelly's Ham Jell-O(R) Salad. During World War II, Jell-O became a popular sugar substitute. The Postwar era, however, took Jell-O to new, and often savory, heights best exemplified by aspics and salads.
Oysters Rockefeller. "As a new younger cook I was a bit nervous to make these but have made these the past two Christmas Eves," reviewer Sarsie says.
Cherry Angel Food Cake. "I have never made an angel food cake in my life because I thought they would be too difficult," reviewer CHARLOTTE says.
Creamed Onions and Peas. This veggie-forward side comes together quickly and can be made with either fresh or frozen peas. Several reviewers also report success with canned peas.
Cream of Celery Soup. "This is so delicious, you won't be able to go back to the canned stuff," reviewer KATHY says. "I needed a recipe for cream of celery, that I could convert to gluten free, and this fit the bill perfectly!
Best Easy Chicken Croquettes. "I have always loved chicken croquettes but found them cumbersome to prepare," review CTL314 says. "This recipe was quite easy and very quick.
Chicken Pot Pie. It doesn't get more comforting and classic than chicken pot pie. This pot pie comes together in just more than an hour, but you can use a pre-made crust to cut down on time.
Secret Recipe Chicken Fricassee. "This was my Grandma's secret family recipe from her French ancestors," creator jodilmayer says. "I have never seen a recipe like this on any site.
Chicken Thigh Fricassee with Mushrooms and Rosemary. When chicken thighs meet mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, olives, tomatoes, and white wine, good things happen.
Manhattan. Mid-century drinkers were all about cocktails, and the Manhattan is no exception. This particular recipe shakes things up a bit, especially if you don't have bitters on hand.
