There were some sad people in power in the US during the 50s and 60s. Incredibly conservative. Trying to control everyone.

Sue, I will second this. I was overseas when this happened and did not get to see this. My Aunt and Uncle lived in Spokane and were greatly affected by this eruption. They were sitting in their backyard when the ash started to roll in on top of them.

Peter Cetera of Chicago had his jaw broken in three places when four US Marines beat the daylights out of him at Dodger stadium. Apparently they didn't like the length of his hair or the fact that he was a Cubs fan.
Cetera spent five hours in surgery as a result. He was the band's lead singer and bass player before leaving for a solo career in 1985.

An annual custom dating back to medieval times unique to High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire weighs the Mayor of the town each year so that the public can see whether or not he has been getting fat at the taxpayers' expense.
During the weigh in performed by the local "macebearer" dressed in traditional costume rings a bell and calls out the weight.
When he adds the words "And no more!" the crowd cheers as a sign of their appreciation and gratitude for the hard work done by the mayor for the community.
When he adds the words "And some more!", it means the mayor has been indulging in too much good living at rate payers' expense and the crowd jeers and boos.

They were in the backyard drinking "Harvey Wall Bangers." Everyone in the path of that ash had to change the air filters on their carburetors a lot more often than normal to keep their engines from being damaged. Not to mention having to stay indoors and avoiding breathing that stuff.
