YEAR BOOK 1962 – WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?

So what did make news in 1962? Hitch-hiking was still safe for all concerned, it was generally conceded that doctors would refuse home visits at night, and the wonders of the Pill were being extolled, and condemned. Terylene swimsuits for men were being exposed, there were some people who were suggesting that a link between smoking and cancer of the lung, and death of cracker-night was great relief to dogs. Many people were concerned that we were being Americanised. They would prefer the current Pommification.
