Many times when they installed these magnificent bannisters, they would leave something - like a time capsule - in the newel post (that ball or square thing at the end of the bannister) in hopes that someone in the future would find it. Usually house plans or other documents pertaining to the property would be shoved in there. They're interesting to find.

Dave and Autoguy, yeah, they sure don't make dashboards like that anymore. I recall advertisements saying it had an "Electrolumeniscent Glow" to it and it sure did. I have never seen anything like it since. I regret selling that car but I still have about a dozen picture of her.

My biggest question now is, where are all these people living now that would otherwise be instatutionalized? Are they in prisons or on the street? I know that there are some resident-type organizations that house people who have mental or other issues in a home like setting (my sister works in one) but they certainly don't house the hundreds or thousands that these hospitals did. So where are all these people going today? It's too bad that they didn't have the knowledge we have now, back then. It may have done some good. PS- THANK YOU for sharing this with us Mr. Motts!
