Henry Henry l Rich.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming mother.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Less.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Pure Ridge Family is transcribed written by Clifford Goldsmith, as
every grown up knows, a typical teenage boy never has
to go looking for.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Interesting problems to solve.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The problems come looking for the boy, and you can
be sure that a new and startling one pops up
every day, especially for Henry Ldridge. The scene opens in
the Aldridge living room.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
The time is evening.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Mother, could you look at it this way?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
I'm sorry, Henry, but I don't want to discuss it anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Mother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to discuss it.
I just wanna ask you, Henry.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
Missus Brown came over here to visit with me, not
to listen to us argue about whether you should have
a new suit.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh excuse me, Missus Brown.
Speaker 8 (01:15):
That's all right, Henry. It's nice to see you take
an interest in clothes.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Sure, mother, if you thought of it this way, you've
gotta buy me a new suit sometimes. Why not get
one tomorrow and let me get a little were out
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Henry, I think it's time for you to go to
bed without a without a Henry.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yes, Mother, good night, good night, Dear, good night, missus Brown,
good night, Henry.
Speaker 9 (01:37):
I hope you'll pardon the way my bath robe hangs
in the back.
Speaker 10 (01:40):
Yes, dear, so, Alice, I didn't want to say anything
about it while Henry was here, But would you mind
if I suggest something?
Speaker 6 (01:48):
No, not at all.
Speaker 10 (01:49):
It's only because I know you don't want to buy
anything that isn't absolutely necessary. But Homer has a new
suit I think would fit Henry. Really, he put it
on just once, and Alice, believe it or not, it's
been hanging in the closet ever since.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
My goodness, Elizabeth, and it's a good shoe. Dallas, Homer's
uncle said it to him only.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
The other day.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
You don't say yes.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
And he's an awfully good dresser. He sells things all
over the country. And the sue Dallas, Well, when you
first see it you might say, well, yes, but when
you stand off at a distance, Dear, the chicks there,
they're brown with a sort of orange stripe in the background. Well,
the checks all seem to blend right in, and Homer
(02:29):
refused to wear it is but he doesn't care a
thing about clothes.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
You know how Homer is.
Speaker 10 (02:34):
Oh, sometimes I think he doesn't care about anything.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I wouldn't say the hair. Oh, Alice, you just.
Speaker 10 (02:39):
Don't know, well, I said to him, I said, Homer,
that suit will make people stop and look at you.
And Alice, he acted just the way he does about
broccoli and salad.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Mother, Yes, Henry, did you know that.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The government expects a wool shortage before spring?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
There, I want you to get right into bed. Yes, mother,
welly don't you think we should take advice from our
own government?
Speaker 8 (03:03):
Good night, Dear Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Are you positive you wouldn't mind Henry having that suit? Alice?
Speaker 8 (03:08):
I think it will teach home or a lesson.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
And if you want doing anything now, why don't we walk.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Over to my house and get the suit. That's a
wonderful idea.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I'll put it on the chair beside Henry's bed in
the morning and surprise him.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Good breakfast, Alice, good breakfast.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
And you're not leaving for the office this early?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Are you sorry? Goodbye?
Speaker 11 (03:36):
Goodbye?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Dear tell Henry. I'm sorry I didn't see him before
he came down.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I will mother, Yes, Mary, Henry.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
He'll be down in just a few minutes. Dear, he's
in the bathroom washing. Oh, and Mary, while he's in there,
I want you to take this up to his room
so he doesn't see you, and lay it on his chair.
This mother, Yes, Mary, I just finished pressing it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Oh, what are you going to do? Cover his chair
with it?
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Recovery's chair?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, it isn't it a slip cover or something?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Now, Mary, that's a perfectly good suit.
Speaker 11 (04:07):
Mother.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You mean Henry has to wear that?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Where did you get it?
Speaker 12 (04:11):
Dear?
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Missus Brown gave it to Henry, And the only reason
you don't care for it is because it's folded and
you're standing too close to it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But Mother, you can see these checks.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
A block away.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Now, Dear, please take it upstairs.
Speaker 13 (04:25):
Yes, Mother, I just hope Henry doesn't find out that
I had anything to do with it.
Speaker 14 (04:29):
Now, Mary, missus Aldridge, is Henry ready for school?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But good morning home, aren't?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Aren't you just a bit early?
Speaker 11 (04:36):
Boy?
Speaker 15 (04:36):
I'll say I wanted to get out of the house before.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I was afraid my mother might make me wear a
good morning Well Homer.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I'm afraid it's gonna be some time before Henry.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gets down and dear, you don't want to be late,

Speaker 15 (04:50):
Waiting?

Who could that be.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
With Oscar? My goodness, the whole town's talking about it, Henry.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
I think it's Homer's going to turn out to be
that kind of a boy. The less you have to
do within, the.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Better, We're sure, Mother. I don't like any of that
crowd at school. That's why I thought I come home
for lunch and.

Speaker 11 (16:58):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yes, father, but not in this I'm gonna go upstairs
and change for anty.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
You can't possibly change your other suitors at the tailor's well, mother, at.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Least I can go out and put on my corduroys.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
No, do your carterizer in the wash. Now turn around
and show your father the shoulders. That's an excellent suit. Yes,
and feel it, Sam.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Feel it?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
She with father, be honest, just now, when he first
saw the suit almost faded.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Who yeah, sure, Sam, Henry, it's an excellent suit. I
hadn't seen the back before.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
But you really think it's worth fighting over?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I've said, be telling you it's handsome, not go ahead
and wear it.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We almost wrangbrich.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Is this your family here in the hall?

Yes, this is Henry.
Speaker 17 (17:48):
He just came home to put on a costume for
the school plays ed and.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Now he's got to rush right back.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
The troubles of Henry Ordridge.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Because Henry has had to wear a suit that formerly
belonged to Homer Brown's uncle Alaska, he suffered more than
his share from the gang at school. As a result,
the students have scheduled an open fight at three o'clock
this afternoon between Henry and Homer. The scene opens in
the principal's office.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Come in, did you want to see me here in
your office?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Mister Bradley, Yes, Miss Eggleston, sit down.
Speaker 18 (19:38):
I hope I didn't call you from any class, Miss Eggleston.
I happened to pass by your English past this morning,
and frankly, it seemed to me I heard more disturbance
than was really necessary.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Mister Bradley, May I say something.
Speaker 18 (19:51):
Yes, Miss Eggleston, just as soon as I am finished.
A reasonable amount of laughter is quite in order in
any class, but when the students sound as though they
were rolling on the floor.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I can only conclude that the teacher has lost all control.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
Now, may I say something, mister Bradley, Yes, mister Eggleston,
as soon as I have finished.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
As I passed by your partly open door, it seemed
to me that in the midst of all this commotion
I saw you laughing.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
But mister Pedley, I'm only human. I beg your pardon.
Speaker 12 (20:20):
I'm sorry, but it would be impossible for me to
describe what's happened.
Speaker 18 (20:24):
Now, come, Miss Eggleston. I can appreciate a joke just
as much as anyone.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Mister Bradley.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
I didn't mean to insinuate that you couldn't adjust me.
Speaker 18 (20:30):
Regardless of what you meant, that's certainly the way it sounded,
And to be frank I think it would be very
wise if I visited your class. Tomorrow, Come in, yes, Willie,
come in.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
That will be all, mister Bradley, that will be all.
Speaker 18 (20:46):
And tomorrow we'll all have a good laugh together.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Very well.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
Now then we'll in, Yes, mister Bradley, I close the door, please.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, I got a talk with him, mister Bradley.
Speaker 12 (21:00):
I told them just exactly what you said, So there
won't be a public fight on the school grounds this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You made it quite clear, Willy.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh, yes, mister Bradley.
Speaker 18 (21:08):
And the fight is off entirely, well not.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Entirely, that is.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Instead we decided, I mean, they're gonna have it on
a vacant lot in back of will It isn't gonna
be on the school ground.
Speaker 18 (21:21):
Willie, I understand you are one of the ringleaders and
all this.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
Who why mister Bradley a ringleader?
Speaker 12 (21:28):
Oh no, I'm just a second. You're sure of that, Oh,
mister Bradley. If there's one thing I hate to see,
it's two guys in a good fight.
Speaker 18 (21:40):
Well, I suppose if they've got to get it out
of their system. Understand, Willie, I am emphatically against boys fighting,
but if it's off the school grounds, I don't see
how I can in any way.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Interfere, Yes, mister Bradley, and that will be all.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yes, mister Bradley, Oh Willy just run moment, Yes Bradley.
Where did you say this fight is going to be held?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Why I didn't say?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Yes? They all?
Speaker 15 (22:21):
He follows. Look what would have got for Homer?
Speaker 11 (22:23):
A pail and a spot?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
While that's nothing, Look at what I got for Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm a lamon who's gonna keep time? I am Willie Ian.
Speaker 15 (22:30):
Where's Henry and Homer?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
They'll be along.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
Henry said he got here as fast as he could. Boy,
was he actious to get another this?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
While Homer was anxious two week said he wouldn't be late.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
My goodness, Eleanor isn't this exciting? I think it's terrible, Lucy,
That's what I mean. That's what I mean.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
I can hardly waite.
Speaker 19 (22:59):
What the time is it?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Homer?
Speaker 7 (23:01):
It's exactly twenty five minutes after three?
Speaker 11 (23:05):
Is that right?
Speaker 15 (23:08):
It's a pretty good soda, isn't it, Henry?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Boy, I'll say, And don't misunderstand me.
Speaker 19 (23:15):
I'd be perfectly willing to go over that lot and
fight you, Henry, only only sure I know.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What you mean?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And I hope you don't think I wouldn't be willing
to fight you, Homer.
Speaker 11 (23:24):
She was.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I'd be willing to knock your block off for you.
But as the fellow the soda fountain just told you,
your father's been looking all over.
Speaker 15 (23:30):
Town for you.
Speaker 19 (23:31):
Sure, and if he wants me to keep an appointment
at the dentist or something, well, naturally I can't disobey him.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Naturally. You don't look towards the door now, But I
think some of the gangs just went by.
Speaker 15 (23:41):
Do you think they're still looking for it? Sure, let's
have another soda.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I'll pay for this one.
Speaker 15 (23:47):
Oh no, Henry, you let me?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Are you crazy? Home? I got a quarter right here?
Speaker 15 (23:51):
Now wait a minute, Oh she was, did I knock
it out of your hand?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well that's all right, Homer.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
It's right down here on the floor some place.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh wait a second, Henry, you let me get it
for you. Well, I'm already under the table, home, so
am I?
Speaker 15 (24:00):
Hey, Fellas, here they are?
Speaker 3 (24:01):

Off my throats.

I couldn't yelling about Lucy.
Speaker 15 (24:28):
They haven't even swung each other.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Yet, they haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
What did they do?
Speaker 15 (24:32):

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It doesn't look so bad on your home or not?
The sun's going down. All the checks are sort of
blended together.
Speaker 19 (26:12):
Yeah, I know, but my father said I've got to
wear this suit to school tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Listen, Henry, you've already broken it in.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
Wouldn't you like to wear it?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Or didn't your father tell you I couldn't keep it

Well, listen, let's go back into town. Then, Oh no,

Speaker 15 (26:56):
The Homer, look out, what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Do you see what I see crawling across the road? Henry?
Speaker 15 (27:01):
What is that is?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
It's a skunk, isn't it.
Speaker 15 (27:06):
Henry? Is that a skunk?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Are you sure it's a skunk?
Speaker 11 (27:10):
Sure it is?
Speaker 6 (27:12):

Speaker 16 (27:12):
Kitty, Kitty, Kenny, here, Kitty Kitty, come to Homer.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Homer, hurry, he's getting away from.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
You right now.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Even in November, many sections of the country are unusually dry.
This increases the danger of forest fires. So every time
you're out in the fields of forests, follow these rules.
Crush out cigarette, cigar and pipe ashes, break matches in two.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
After using them.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Drown all campfires, then stir and drown them again. Learn
and respect the law before starting any fire. Forest rangers
can fight forest fires, but only you can prevent them.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Thank you?
Speaker 15 (28:07):
How yes, father?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Are you back already?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well?
Speaker 15 (28:11):
Father, it's like this.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
Homer.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Didn't I tell you to go down to the dentist.
Speaker 19 (28:15):
Well, yes, sir, I did, only he said he'd rather
wait a week or two before he works on me.

Henry Henry l Rich.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming mother.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Less.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Pure Ridge Family is transcribed written by Clifford Goldsmith, as
every grown up knows, a typical teenage boy never has
to go looking for.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Interesting problems to solve.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The problems come looking for the boy, and you can
be sure that a new and startling one pops up
every day, especially for Henry Ldridge. The scene opens in
the Aldridge living room.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
The time is evening.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Mother, could you look at it this way?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
I'm sorry, Henry, but I don't want to discuss it anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Mother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to discuss it.
I just wanna ask you, Henry.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
Missus Brown came over here to visit with me, not
to listen to us argue about whether you should have
a new suit.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh excuse me, Missus Brown.
Speaker 8 (01:15):
That's all right, Henry. It's nice to see you take
an interest in clothes.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Sure, mother, if you thought of it this way, you've
gotta buy me a new suit sometimes. Why not get
one tomorrow and let me get a little were out
of it.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Henry, I think it's time for you to go to
bed without a without a Henry.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yes, Mother, good night, good night, Dear, good night, missus Brown,
good night, Henry.
Speaker 9 (01:37):
I hope you'll pardon the way my bath robe hangs
in the back.
Speaker 10 (01:40):
Yes, dear, so, Alice, I didn't want to say anything
about it while Henry was here, But would you mind
if I suggest something?
Speaker 6 (01:48):
No, not at all.
Speaker 10 (01:49):
It's only because I know you don't want to buy
anything that isn't absolutely necessary. But Homer has a new
suit I think would fit Henry. Really, he put it
on just once, and Alice, believe it or not, it's
been hanging in the closet ever since.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
My goodness, Elizabeth, and it's a good shoe. Dallas, Homer's
uncle said it to him only.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
The other day.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
You don't say yes.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
And he's an awfully good dresser. He sells things all
over the country. And the sue Dallas, Well, when you
first see it you might say, well, yes, but when
you stand off at a distance, Dear, the chicks there,
they're brown with a sort of orange stripe in the background. Well,
the checks all seem to blend right in, and Homer
(02:29):
refused to wear it is but he doesn't care a
thing about clothes.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
You know how Homer is.
Speaker 10 (02:34):
Oh, sometimes I think he doesn't care about anything.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
I wouldn't say the hair. Oh, Alice, you just.
Speaker 10 (02:39):
Don't know, well, I said to him, I said, Homer,
that suit will make people stop and look at you.
And Alice, he acted just the way he does about
broccoli and salad.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Mother, Yes, Henry, did you know that.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The government expects a wool shortage before spring?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
There, I want you to get right into bed. Yes, mother,
welly don't you think we should take advice from our
own government?
Speaker 8 (03:03):
Good night, Dear Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Are you positive you wouldn't mind Henry having that suit? Alice?
Speaker 8 (03:08):
I think it will teach home or a lesson.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
And if you want doing anything now, why don't we walk.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Over to my house and get the suit. That's a
wonderful idea.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I'll put it on the chair beside Henry's bed in
the morning and surprise him.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Good breakfast, Alice, good breakfast.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
And you're not leaving for the office this early?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Are you sorry? Goodbye?
Speaker 11 (03:36):
Goodbye?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Dear tell Henry. I'm sorry I didn't see him before
he came down.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I will mother, Yes, Mary, Henry.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
He'll be down in just a few minutes. Dear, he's
in the bathroom washing. Oh, and Mary, while he's in there,
I want you to take this up to his room
so he doesn't see you, and lay it on his chair.
This mother, Yes, Mary, I just finished pressing it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Oh, what are you going to do? Cover his chair
with it?
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Recovery's chair?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, it isn't it a slip cover or something?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Now, Mary, that's a perfectly good suit.
Speaker 11 (04:07):
Mother.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You mean Henry has to wear that?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Where did you get it?
Speaker 12 (04:11):
Dear?
Speaker 7 (04:12):
Missus Brown gave it to Henry, And the only reason
you don't care for it is because it's folded and
you're standing too close to it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But Mother, you can see these checks.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
A block away.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Now, Dear, please take it upstairs.
Speaker 13 (04:25):
Yes, Mother, I just hope Henry doesn't find out that
I had anything to do with it.
Speaker 14 (04:29):
Now, Mary, missus Aldridge, is Henry ready for school?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But good morning home, aren't?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Aren't you just a bit early?
Speaker 11 (04:36):
Boy?
Speaker 15 (04:36):
I'll say I wanted to get out of the house before.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I was afraid my mother might make me wear a
good morning Well Homer.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I'm afraid it's gonna be some time before Henry.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gets down and dear, you don't want to be late,
do you? Bottom line?
Speaker 15 (04:50):
Waiting?
Speaker 11 (04:50):
Oh?
Speaker 15 (04:51):
Has he had his breakfast yet? And no, Homer, are
you having hotcakes?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Mother?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (04:57):
Henry?
Speaker 9 (04:58):
What's this thing up here?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
By?
Speaker 9 (05:02):
This thing on my chair?
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Why? Henry?
Speaker 11 (05:04):
That's for you?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
For me?
Speaker 9 (05:08):
This?
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Yes, you asked for one, didn't you?
Speaker 9 (05:11):
Why I asked for a rug, Henry.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
If you'll unfold it, you'll see it is not a rug.
Speaker 15 (05:19):
For what is it, missus Aldridge?

our foot down and made him wear that suit that
Oscar sent him.

Yes, Miss Eggleston.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
During the Mode decade at the end of the nineteenth century,
there passed across the English literary scene a figure whose
prominence derived not only from his writing, but from his
elaborate taste and clothes. This man was Oscar Oscar she
Wins Oscar wild.

Speaker 9 (17:29):
But you really think it's worth fighting over?
Speaker 5 (17:31):

Speaker 5 (19:09):
The troubles of Henry Ordridge.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Because Henry has had to wear a suit that formerly
belonged to Homer Brown's uncle Alaska, he suffered more than
his share from the gang at school. As a result,
the students have scheduled an open fight at three o'clock
this afternoon between Henry and Homer. The scene opens in
the principal's office.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Come in, did you want to see me here in
your office?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Mister Bradley, Yes, Miss Eggleston, sit down.
Speaker 18 (19:38):
I hope I didn't call you from any class, Miss Eggleston.
I happened to pass by your English past this morning,
and frankly, it seemed to me I heard more disturbance
than was really necessary.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Mister Bradley, May I say something.
Speaker 18 (19:51):
Yes, Miss Eggleston, just as soon as I am finished.
A reasonable amount of laughter is quite in order in
any class, but when the students sound as though they
were rolling on the floor.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I can only conclude that the teacher has lost all control.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
Now, may I say something, mister Bradley, Yes, mister Eggleston,
as soon as I have finished.
Speaker 18 (20:10):
As I passed by your partly open door, it seemed
to me that in the midst of all this commotion
I saw you laughing.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
But mister Pedley, I'm only human. I beg your pardon.
Speaker 12 (20:20):
I'm sorry, but it would be impossible for me to
describe what's happened.
Speaker 18 (20:24):
Now, come, Miss Eggleston. I can appreciate a joke just
as much as anyone.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Mister Bradley.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
I didn't mean to insinuate that you couldn't adjust me.
Speaker 18 (20:30):
Regardless of what you meant, that's certainly the way it sounded,
And to be frank I think it would be very
wise if I visited your class. Tomorrow, Come in, yes, Willie,
come in.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
That will be all, mister Bradley, that will be all.
Speaker 18 (20:46):
And tomorrow we'll all have a good laugh together.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Very well.
Speaker 18 (20:50):
Now then we'll in, Yes, mister Bradley, I close the door, please.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, I got a talk with him, mister Bradley.
Speaker 12 (21:00):
I told them just exactly what you said, So there
won't be a public fight on the school grounds this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You made it quite clear, Willy.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Oh, yes, mister Bradley.
Speaker 18 (21:08):
And the fight is off entirely, well not.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Entirely, that is.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Instead we decided, I mean, they're gonna have it on
a vacant lot in back of will It isn't gonna
be on the school ground.
Speaker 18 (21:21):
Willie, I understand you are one of the ringleaders and
all this.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
Who why mister Bradley a ringleader?
Speaker 12 (21:28):
Oh no, I'm just a second. You're sure of that, Oh,
mister Bradley. If there's one thing I hate to see,
it's two guys in a good fight.
Speaker 18 (21:40):
Well, I suppose if they've got to get it out
of their system. Understand, Willie, I am emphatically against boys fighting,
but if it's off the school grounds, I don't see
how I can in any way.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Interfere, Yes, mister Bradley, and that will be all.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yes, mister Bradley, Oh Willy just run moment, Yes Bradley.
Where did you say this fight is going to be held?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Why I didn't say?
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Yes? They all?
Speaker 15 (22:21):
He follows. Look what would have got for Homer?
Speaker 11 (22:23):
A pail and a spot?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
While that's nothing, Look at what I got for Henry.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm a lamon who's gonna keep time? I am Willie Ian.
Speaker 15 (22:30):
Where's Henry and Homer?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
They'll be along.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
Henry said he got here as fast as he could. Boy,
was he actious to get another this?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
While Homer was anxious two week said he wouldn't be late.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
My goodness, Eleanor isn't this exciting? I think it's terrible, Lucy,
That's what I mean. That's what I mean.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
I can hardly waite.
Speaker 19 (22:59):
What the time is it?

Even in November, many sections of the country are unusually dry.
This increases the danger of forest fires. So every time
you're out in the fields of forests, follow these rules.
Crush out cigarette, cigar and pipe ashes, break matches in two.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
After using them.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Drown all campfires, then stir and drown them again. Learn
and respect the law before starting any fire. Forest rangers
can fight forest fires, but only you can prevent them.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Thank you?
Speaker 15 (28:07):
How yes, father?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Are you back already?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well?
Speaker 15 (28:11):
Father, it's like this.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
Homer.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Didn't I tell you to go down to the dentist.
Speaker 19 (28:15):
Well, yes, sir, I did, only he said he'd rather
wait a week or two before he works on me.
