    Possible lodging, no food.

    It was quite a few years before I could afford a month’s worth of food in one go, and I was too old to join by then. The way they (people my own age) handled telling me that I was too poor to join their club, left a lasting impression.

      thats where it fails. the depression era stuff they got a cot and meals in a mess hall and then they could send their money home to their families.
