Me too. If people were like that. I was going to say 'if only people could be like that'. Then I realized THEY COULD. The whole world could be like that.
This was so sweet to watch! So often families become dysfunctional because members feel like they aren't cared about. This demonstrates how even the smallest consideration can make a world of difference! Thanks for sharing!
She received the dress because she is and always has been a fantastic child. Clarification the dress wasn't to buy her affection or love, neither was it payment for the dinner she made. She was cooking dinner for them weather she received a new dress or not. Great kids wonderful family.
A lot of people today might erroneously call these "corny," maybe because of different evolutions in language, dress, or social mores. But the last, as presented by Coronet, is generally very sensible and grounded, with helpful (age appropriate) information about solutions...solutions which are not, unlike the films, presented in black and white.
I really enjoy the Coronet films. Do you know where they were originally shown? I'm wondering if these were intended for school use, or some other use?
That was a cute and...thoughtful...video! All meanies aside these are so much fun to watch. Remember, if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all!
Growing up in the 70's-80's my dad always called the refrigerator an icebox. Drove my mother up the wall but I couldn't understand why. When dad was a child a horse drawn cart or a primitive truck with a freaking block of ice would pull up in front of the house. They would then put the ice into a wooden cabinet, with a drain at the bottom to chill food. Electric refrigerators really are a modern miracle.
I’m 56 and still say icebox. My family just called our fridges that. Of course I also say fridge too. The freezing compartment was in those old old fridges and was this large “U” shaped freezing coil piece hanging down in the middle that cooled the main open part of the fridge. This usually also had a small door attached to its opening and inside you placed frozen things and the ice trays.
@@patrickmcdonald6116 Actually refrigerators are not as ingenuous as you think. It's nothing more than compressed refrigerant gas that is allowed to expand. The result is a drop in temperature. The trick is to put the compressor which generates heat outside the ice box and the evaporator which absorbs heat (creates cold) inside the ice box. Up to the 19 century meats were preserved with salt. People ate salted meat. The Rhine river had many ships carrying ancient salt mines salt to Western Europe. Did you ever understood how a fan or a draft of air create skin surface coolness ? It's the same principle as a fridge. Air is being moved causing a local partial vacuum, or drop in pressure, same as the evaporator in the fridge , except the fan skips the step of compressing a gas first. Fridge use the element of time and a box to separate the opposite effects of compression heat and expansion cooling.
@@Clevoliver lol wtf? yeah modern medicine and equal rights are terrible aren't they. ahhh the good ol' days, where everyone was white and middle class and paint was made out of lead so we could properly poison ourselves from within our own homes. Women stayed in the kitchen, self expression was frowned upon blah blah blah. You have no idea what you're talking about, if you really hated living in the modern world you wouldn't be using the internet dumbass. How about you go socialize with real human beings instead of complaining about life underneath old educational videos from the 50's
Dylan Stone oh my god you’re genuinely so upset because a man likes how the worlds portrayed in this video. His first thought obviously isn’t “fuck modern medicine and equal rights!” It’s 2019, you can be anti vax, racist, whatever you are or want to be. That has nothing to do with the video. They meant the way the people talked, the thoughtfulness, the maturity and the respect portrayed here. Some things you obviously lack.
Comments about the parents age in this and other educational videos. Consider the time. World War 2 and the previous depression aged people considerably. Things like death of friends and family, untreated PTSD, being raised with financial insecurity, scarcity of food. Then, when it was available, it was rationed. People delayed having kids in their prime (20's to early 30's) A fair number of families started mid 30's to early 40's, so by the time the kids were in high school the parents WERE nearing their 60's(but looking a decade older just like in these films) Just a thought before laughing out loud.
And the fact that all that stress and tough times could have led to early graying and thinning hair. I know guys who are in their 50's but have had so much stress and problems that they've aged ten years.
I am the product of parents who had children late. they were married in 1975 at about 30 and 26. Had at least one miscarriage, then brother born in 81 (passed away in 2019) then I was born in 1984. Father was 39 mother 35. My paternal grandfather allegedly was 48 when my dad was born. His father was at least 36 when he was born. Both parents grew up in poverty; my issue is the quality of relationships than just money. I tend to favor my father in behavior. I'm in my mid 30s now with no children, no wife/fiance/gf. But if it was to happen it would be late. It does happen.
I think it was a different time back then and was considered more like a compliment not something creepy. Now it would be very unacceptable I would think.
@@irongrl still a bit wierd even if it is a compliment lol I'd find it do weird of my brother said "you look beautiful" or something but maybe that's just me
I grew up in the 50s and this is what you were taught. The trouble is now we have generations that were never taught this because of poor parenting. It's ALL ABOUT THEM ! Society today really is a disgrace, even in POLITICS ! NO ONE HAS CLASS. NO ONE IS THOUGHTFUL. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED ?
So corny, so simple and so true... Whatever happened to the simple courtesies that prioritized another person's happiness so everyone benefitted? Seems we've lost something important.
@@Gamer208010 ........ yeah, that might be true.........foster kid/multiple placements/abuse.......really affected how i think/feel/see my life........mercifully, committed my life to Jesus in the early '70's.......dreamed of being connected with "Father Knows Best" crowd (a 50's sitcom)........huge reality check when found out that crowd didn't exist........thankfully, Jesus was better than the institutional church and helped me sort thru the freight train load of abuse baggage i was 'gifted' via the foster care system........do yourself a favor and give some serious effort to finding out this for yourself.......thx for the getback to my comment........:)
the parents in this series all look seventy years old while looking at the children they must have been 45 years old (once they got married even earlier so they could be 40!!!!) and the fathers did nothing but read the newspaper
Ads are getting ridiculous. Remember when FM radio had no ads? Cable didn't have any either for a small fee, and now sat radio where you pay $30 monthly for more ads! Thanks, Zuckerman
That couple must have had the children late in life... they are a bit long in the tooth! While a nice idea, there are very few families like this.... *very* few.
The families that have a loving mother who likes to cook for their family, still eat together..Sad truth is most women are lazy these days. They don't cook, don't clean...don't do anything. 🙄
My parents were 40 and 47 when I was born so my dad was in his 60's when I was a teenager. That was kind of uncommon though and in these old videos it often looks like the parents are more like grandparents.
I watched the same one. I think the difference is that in the other video the guy intentionally waited until the end and in this case he found out at the last minute he needed a date and was willing to offer an explanation. The rules are very detailed. :)
"Last minute," as in the same day of the event---but this was a new girl who's family only just moved into town, so he had that as far as explaining the "last minute" asking. It all depended on intent and common sense, the latter of which is seriously missing 71 years after this PSA.
I have been thoughtful towards ppl donated no telling how much money in clothes and other stuff. No thank you what. So ever. So I get where I I am tired if being thoughtful. No again.
We don't show kindnesses for the reward of the thank you's, we show kindnesses for the sake of being kind, itself. If we are looking for thank you's, we are doing it for our egos. Are we being kind for others' sake? or for our pride's sake? We have to check our motive. Being thoughtful, if it's for a reward, isn't thoughtfulness.
Ah, let me tell you of a time when the best thing that happened at school was when you came into a classroom and the teacher had set up the old reel-to-reel projector in the middle of the room. When I was a kid, the projectors had onboard cassette players. You would get the film loaded and the lens focused, then you would advance the film manually until it was on a start screen. Then you would start the cassette. The cassette would tell you to start the film running as soon as you heard a "ding." That was how you synced the sound (from the cassette) with the film. Back before there were cassettes, I assume there was a similar system that used a record player since there was no media widely available until the late 1980's that had sound and video on the same device. (The VCR tape was the first such device for home consumers.) But, long story short, films like these were primarily shown in schools. Some might have been shown in a Home Ec class (e.g. films about cooking or nutrition) or gym (e.g. films about health and exercise), but most were probably shown in homeroom (aka study hall). Occasionally the homeroom class (or a health class, if they had one) was sex-segregated and girls would be shown films about things like menstruation or pregnancy (as close as they got to sex ed in schools back in the day) and boys would be shown films pertaining to male puberty or other things that were male-specific. If I'm not mistaken, schools in the 1950's taught what's known as a "classical education" and personal development and the study of virtues and morals were considered a key part of a child's overall education. The classical education model is starting to slowly regain popularity again; it can sometimes be found in private schools (usually religious ones) and homeschool parents are starting to teach it more.
Eddie was advised twice to explain to the new girl why he was asking her late. "My real date Amy had to go out of town so I decided to ask you instead at the last minute cuz I'm thoughtful like that."😅
This kind of thinking, attitude and work ethics is almost impossible to find. It was a family attitude and lifestyle I'd wanted and wanted to raise any children in.(simple honesty respect atmosphere) instead the people living in my house and some living in the Midwest community verbally physically ridiculed destroyed any effort or susses I had. Saying that God and all the angels together could not act or accomplished such attitude or lifestyle. Clarification they would only behave like that for someone if their getting paid for it via power money influence.
Yea, for not accepting blue hair and a disturbing personality? Are you a narrow minded judgmental asshole then? Arent you the one how is judgmental right now? Aren't people allowed to criticize the current year and it's disturbing trends? and this comes from a guy with tattoos. Sherry take a good look in the mirror before you act upon
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂
