SOCIAL ISSUES OF THE TIME Health care in the 1930’s was very primitive. There were no antibiotics, no cures for most diseases, and a person usually lived or died without the help of medicine. Needless to say, only the most robust made it through to old age. Pneumonia was very feared, and gangrene killed far more people than the injury causing the gangrene. Many people turned to crime in the 1930s. Across the Midwest, roving bands traveling in fast moving vehicles, toting sawed off shotguns and Tommy guns, robbed rural banks and post offices. Movies and the radio were very popular because it was with these that people could escape their desolate lives. Church was a very important part of many people’s lives then, and communities, either in neighborhoods of larger towns or small towns themselves, became the lifeline that helped hold families together in such difficult times as American political issues changed from the panic of Depression to the growth of the future.

MAIN METHOD OF MASS COMMUNICATION The main methods of mass communication in the 1930's were telegraphy and radio waves. It was nice because many people didnt know what they were talking about.

"NOTHING TO FEAR BUT....." DATE AND PRESIDENT

"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." This statement was made by president Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first Inaugural Address on March 4, 1933. In this statement he was referring to the Great Depression which had reached its peak in 1933. He promised to wage war on the desperate economy. Eventually with his "New Deal" policies F.D.R. would pull the U.S., at last, out of the Great Depression which would end with America joining World War II in 1941.

FASHION IN THE 1930's Fashion in the 1930's wasn't much different than it had been in the 20's. Women wore slim dresses that fell just below the knee, and men wore suits that were made to give the illusion of a larger torso. The shoulders in the suit jackets were stuffed with padding, the sleeves were tapered to the wrist, and the lapels framed the v-shaped chest which added even more width.
