good for you. You wouldn't think an old straw suitcase
(01:16):
full of dolls and doll clothes could upset a whole household,
would you? Well, that's exactly what happened at the white
frame house on Maple Street.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The other day.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The suitcase belonged to Little Patty Davis, who left it
in the Anderson yard, and Kathy brought it in the
house for safe keeping. She said it in the hall
and made her usual check in.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Call mumy mummy.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
But Margaret was next door borrowing some gloves for a
party she and Jim were to attend that evening, so
Kathy repaired to the kitchen for Operation peanut butter Sandwich.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Betty was the next to arrive home from school, and as.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
She stood there contemplating the suitcase, young Bud entered the
house in his usual delicate fashion.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Creepers, save the pieces.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Oh, hi, Betty, Hey whose suitcase? Who's here?
Speaker 5 (02:03):
I don't know. I just got home myself.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Hey Mom, who's here?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Don't let them hear you?
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Whoever's here already knows her. Hey, Mom, is there a name?
I'm the suitcase.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I don't see any Oh, let's.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Open it and see if we can find a name inside.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
No, Bud, that's not pride. Oh besides, he might catch us.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Is it it he?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
It must be No, she would have an old suitcase
like that. It looks like that old straw thing. Uncle
Hubert used to lug around.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Gosh, you don't suppose it is Uncle Hubert, do you cheepers?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I hope not. I'll never forget the last time he
was here. It seemed like we were quarantined in with
the measles.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
We better peek in the suitcase and find out for sure.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
No, Bud, he's bound to walk in here the minute
we open it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Well, I don't think anybody's here right now, mom, see
no answer.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Well, in that case, maybe we Oh, he's probably got
it locked. He always locks up everything.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I could call Claude Messner. He claims he knows how
to pick locks.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
We can't break in silly. Wait, I think I hear
somebody in the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Oh, he's probably out there hitting the ice box.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Run out and see.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Oh, no thanks. I don't want to see him any
sooner than I have to.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Well, i'll do it. B We know it might not
even be him.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I'd rather not find out.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Uncle Hubert. Oh it's you, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hi, did anyone peanut butter sandwich?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think I put too many pickles in it.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Hickle.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You can have it if you want it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I don't want it, Kathy. If you seen uncle Hubert,
Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Is he here?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
That's what we're trying to figure out. We here, We
don't know, We haven't seen him.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Was never here when you got home, No, nobody was.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
He've probably gone someplace together, probably the grocery store. Well,
I guess there's no use worrying about it till we
see him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Sure you don't want this sandwich?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Maybe if I put some jelly in it, that might
have sort of sweetened up the pickle.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Hello Angel, Hi, Mommy, Worth, Uncle Hubert, Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Didn't you know Uncle Hubert is here here?
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Oh no, you're joking.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Betty said he was here.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Oh good heavens.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Why does he always have to pop in without a
word of warning?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Where is he in the living room?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know. Betty was out here looking for him
a minute ago.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh dear, well, I'd better go in and see what's happened.
And I'm a cookie mommy, I don't care.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Our meals will be all mixed stuff now.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Anyway, I thought things were going along a little too
smoothly lately. Oh, hi, mom, you home, Yes, says I'm home.
Where's Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We thought he was with you.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
No, I haven't even seen him.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
As a matter of fact, I didn't know he was
here until a few minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Well, I can't find him upstairs anywhere. Oh hello, mother,
is he with you?
Speaker 7 (05:33):
No, I haven't been here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was over at missus Davis's trying to borrow some
black gloves to wear the Stewart's party tonight.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Didn't Uncle Hubert say where he was going?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I didn't say. Just put his suitcase down there and left.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
He was gone when we got home.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh, dear, he must have arrived when I was next door.
Did Kathy see you, Margaret?
Speaker 8 (05:52):
I'm home?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
What have we got here? At convention?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Dad? Father? Guess what?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Dad?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Look at that suitcase?
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Huh what about it?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Oh no, Oh.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
I was feeling so good tonight too.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Where is he? We don't know. You're right bags at the.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Davidson So he left his suitcase here and went out.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Oh me, he's probably sitting in some restaurant pouting. I
suppose i'd better go out and start looking for him. Oh,
by the way, Margaret, here's a little present for you.
You won't have any use for it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Now, though.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
What is it? Jims?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
The corsage to wear to the party tonight.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
You still wear one of those, Mom, I said, corsage, but.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Flowers, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh oh it's beautiful, dear.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
But I guess you're right.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
We can't go now.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Well, I can't be here. Joe and I are gonna
write a song tonight.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Write a song.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Joe found an ad in the magazine and it says
that all we have to do is write the words
and they'll write the music for it, and we'll earn
big money overnight.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
That's fine, but I think you better stick around here tonight.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Oh gee, Dad, don't you want me to earn big money? Well, certainly,
but overnight?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Yes. But you know how disappointed Uncle Hubert will be
if we're not all here.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
He always wants to have everyone around him.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Dad, this is the chance of a lifetime. All we
have to do is send in two dollars with our
words to cover the cost of handling, and we earn
big money.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Look, Bud, that's justin Wells.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Can you get a deal like that?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
But you can't write a song?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Oh no, we already got a great title.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
How do you like this?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I'm gonna cut you in my iron claw machine, Baby brother,
it's a balance.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
How cornball can you get?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, we better wind up this musical discussion and figure
out a place for Uncle Hubert to sleep.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
But oh no, not my room again.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I don't know where else to put him.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Oh, you can make out on the davenport all right,
can't you, Bud?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I keep rolling off by morning, I'm old bruised.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Maybe that'll give you a new title for a song. Oh,
how blue I am?
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Or get lost?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Bud?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Why don't you take a suitcase up to your room
and I'll get some sheets and change the bed.
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Just look at that suitcase. It looks even worse than
the last time he was here. As long as the
old one holds together, he wouldn't put out a nickel
for a new one.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Come on, take the suitcase upstairs.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay, you better take some of your clothes out of
your closet and put them in the hall closet so
Uncle Hubert will have more room.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
More room for what that one suit?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
He wears. I'll get it, No, i'll get it. It's
probably Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
He's probably gotten into a fight with a streetcar conductor
over the price of the fair.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
I'm coming hello. Who oh, yes, just a minute, I'll
call her for me. No, Kathy, is she here out
in the kitchen?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Kathy, somebody call me?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
You want it on the phone, shrimp boat.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I bet it's Patty worrying about her dolls and stuff. Hello.
Oh yeah, I found him, Patty. I brought him in
the house. Huh, just a minute, Daddy, Can I take
Patty's dolls over to her?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Now, kit you'd better be here when Uncle Hubert gets back.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh, gee, hello Patty. No, I can't. Well, I'll take
good care of them. I'll put them in my room, Okay, Patty, goodbye? Gee, Daddy,
I don't see why I can't go.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hey, where's the suitcase? Bud took it upstairs?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Oh well good.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
You better run upstairs too and get cleaned up.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's just where I'm going. Oh, say, Daddy, when Uncle
Hubert gets here, will you do me a favor?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
That depends on what it is?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Getting Well, every time he sees me, he always says,
I'll bet here's a little girl who likes candy.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Well you like candy, all right, don't you sure?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
But he never gives me anything. Oh ask him to
put up.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Or shut up, Kathy.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
It's not very nice to say.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Shut up all right, then ask him to put up.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
I'll see what I can do, kitten, But you better
get upstairs now.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I better take care of those dogs. Hi, Bud?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Where'd you put the suitcase in my room?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Dad?
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Yes, Bud, will you.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Grab some of these clothes before I trip? I'm losing
my catarright pants?
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Well, keep your shirt on, I'll help you.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Father.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Why didn't you leave your clothes on the hangers? It
would have been a lot easier.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
They weren't on hangers. It was easier just to pick
them up off the floor this way.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Oh fine, open the closet door for us, will you, betty?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Thank you, father, But don't throw your clothes on the floor.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Well, I hate to get those hang amoks in him
make them look so untidy.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Father, I still don't think it's right for you and
mother to stay home tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
What else can we do?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Just go?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
It's a Hubert's fault for not letting us know he
was coming. Besides, you and mother don't get to go
out very often, and you deserve to have a little fun.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well, thanks, Princess, that's very thoughtful.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But besides, I invited Ralph over tonight because I thought
we'd be alone.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Oh, I see, except.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
For Kathy of course.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Can I go over to Joe's now?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Look, kids, To be honest, I'm not any happier than
you are about Uncle Hubert, but there's nothing we can
do about it.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Where is relatives? And he wants to visit us?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Doesn't he have any friends he could visit?
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Not in Springfield? He doesn't.
Speaker 9 (12:27):
And besides, wait a minute, he does have a friend here,
old west Kittner Bess Kidner.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You mean that old fellow who sits on the bench
in front of the city.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Hall all day long.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Sure, don't you remember the last time Uncle Hubert was here?
He spent a day over at West Kittner's place.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
How come they know each other?
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
They both come from Dubuke, Iowa.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Originally, I wonder if Uncle Hubert would like to see
his old friend again tonight.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Tonight would be a fine time.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
Yeah, I believe I'll just give Vesse call and let
him know he's old pal is in town.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Now you're cooking there, get to the phone. Well, don't
push me, I'll look up the number.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Father, how's that spelled? Kik any are to tease?
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I think maybe that's where Uncle Hubert is right now?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, here it is best neer L. Kittner eighty six
nine one.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
He's already there. It'll make it easier, Betty. How is
this for a song?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Not now, bud, Let's kiss and hog down by the
old cutbreak drug? Well at rhymes, doesn't it? Hello?
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Mister Kittenner, is this best Kittner? Well, this is Jim Anderson.
Jim Anderson. I'm a relative of Hubert Clark.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Is he there?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
That's right? Oh, he's fine. As a matter of fact,
he's in town, and I know he'd like to get together.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
With you sometime, not sometime tonight.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Well that's fine, Kittner. Uh, what are you doing tonight?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Now?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
You're pitching Dad?
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Well?
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Good, Oh he's not here right now, but as soon
as he gets back out to what Well, now, wait
a minute, mister Kittner. What I meant was mister Kittner?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Hello, Hello?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Oh me?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
What's the matter? Dad?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Isn't he going to get together with Uncle Hubert tonight?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yeah, he's going to get together with him tonight, all right,
but he's coming over here to do it. Now we're
stuck with both of them.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Well, it looks like the rumors flying around the Anderson
household are causing no end of complication. But mother, here
are some facts that will make your life much simpler.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
I'm sure you've heard that brand is good for your
family because it provides important keep regular benefits. Perhaps you've
even tried serving brand but found that the family didn't
especially like its taste. Well they'll like it now. Post
brand flakes have a new magic oven flavor, a crisper
(15:12):
texture that's downright delicious. Yes, brand flakes by Post taste
so good. They're preferred and eaten by far more people
than any other brand flakes. Serving Post brand flakes is
one way to make sure your family enjoys their keep
regular benefits in a delicious, cereal remember, for goodness.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Sake, eat Post brand flakes, so good, so good for you.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Post brand flakes are bought by far more people than
any other brand flakes. So this weekend, get Post brand
flakes and start enjoying them for breakfast, for lunch, and
before bedtime snacks.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
They're good and so good for you.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Well, it just shows you how an innocent, little suitcase
full of dolls deceive the Andersons into thinking Uncle Hubert
had come to visit, which meant they will all have
to give up.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Their plans for the evening.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Jim's plan to send Uncle Hubert over to an old
friend's house backfired when the friend decided to come over
there to see Hubert. While most of the Andersons were
in the kitchen trying to think up a new plan,
Kathy went upstairs and moved the suitcase from Bud's room
to her room, and then went into the bathroom to
take a bath. At this point, bub went up to
his room to get a few more of his belongings
and discovered the suitcase switch, and then tiptoed downstairs to
(16:43):
report the news like this, Hey mom, Dad.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I got some news.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
That kid's gonna break right through those stairs someday.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Hey Dad, he's here.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Who is best case Uncle Hubert? Well, thank goodness, now
I don't have to go out and try to find him.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Did he say how long he was going to stay?
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Well, I didn't get to see him. He's taking a bath,
at least I think he is. The bathroom door is
locked and I heard a lot of splashing in there.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I hope he doesn't let the tub run over again
this time.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
He doesn't want to sleep in my room though, because
he moved his suitcase into Betty and Kathy's room.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
In our room. Oh dear, I wish he wasn't so fussy.
Nothing ever suits him.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Well, he can't stay in our room.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
What we'll have to do is put some clean sheets
on Betty's bed. Betty can sleep in Bud's room, and
then remove Kathy's bed into our room.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I'm not going to do it. I don't want to
sleep in Bud's room.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Betty. This is an emergency. We'll all just have to
make the best of it.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Oh pooh, I don't want to sleep down on the
davroom part. Let me have my room and let Betty
sleep down here.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I'm not going to sleep downstairs.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, wait a minute, Bud can have this room. Betty,
you can sleep with me, and Jim you sleep on
the death.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
We'll all just have to make the best of it.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Father, I'm too long for the Davenport. It takes me
an hour and a half to get straightened out again
in the morning.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Come on, Betty, we better get upstairs and change those sheets.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Okay, Jim, you and Buddy better come up and move
Kathy fair.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Okay, come on, Bud, I'm coming.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
We better get things squared around before our new guest,
Bess Kifner gets here.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
I don't know why Uncle Hubert had to pick this
time for a visit.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
She'll hear you right there in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't care that he's moved out the wrinkles in
the sheet on your side there.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Oh, let him straighten out the wrinkles himself. He's an
old trouble maker, that's what he is.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Oh now, Betty, well.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I'll tell you one thing. I'm sure we should get
my name straight this time. Last time he was here,
he kept calling me dumb.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
That might not have been a mistake.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh well, so this is little Dub.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Dub sure got his mother's chekphones.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You got your mother's keekphones.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
Dark, he'll hear you, Dub wrap Hold the end of
the bed there, Dub, and let's get it moved.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Okay. I ought to be over Joe's writing a song.
That's what I ought to be doing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Watch up, Bud, don't hit the door.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
Oh sorry, easy, but tipp it morey.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Kathy ought to be doing this. It's her bed.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Where's Kathy anyway?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't know I told her to take a bath
and clean up, but she probably went outside again when
she couldn't get in the bathroom.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Watch where you're going there, Bud, bo I bet that's Ralph.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
He said he might come for dinner. I'll go down.
I'm gonna tell him to go home, and too embarrassing.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
To have him stay, Okay, Bud said he don dead.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Couldn't I go over to chows just long enough to
knock out half a song, No, Bud, that would at
least give me a part interest in it.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Look, Bud, we've been over this a thousand times.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You don't want to have to.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Support me all your life, do you, father? Father, I'm
losing a fortune sticking around here.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Father.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
If mister Kittner already, what's he planning to do.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Have dinner with us, I'd better get downstairs and start cooking.
But go out and see if you can find Kathy.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Hurry up, Father, come.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Down and talk to it all right, I'm coming.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
He's in the living room. He brought a whole lot
of old newspaper clippings to show Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
I'll bet that'll be interesting, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Would you go out in the kitchen and start peeling
some potatoes. I'll be right down.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Well, hello there, mister Kidney, he hardy, hardy, I'm mister Anderson.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Hey, sure I know you.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Have no anywhere, mister Albertson.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
Where Old Hugh, Well, old Hube is upstairs bathing. He'll
be down shortly, I hope, yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
I used to know old Hugh back in Dubukeyway.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, I know. Hub and me was boys together there.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
Young lads used to ride around on the back end
of Charlie get their speed dagon.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Where's old Hugh? I said, he's upstairs, He'll be down.
I got a few clippings here, various news items. Old
Hub will get a kick out of them.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
He Charlot liked him the last time he was here.
I've saved some of these, brother forty years.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
You want to come over. I think Old Hugh will
be down pretty soon.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Him and me grew up together in Dubuke Away.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yes, I know, hey boy, that's the best way.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Young lad is together was, and that was in Dubuke.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
I'm aware of that.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
At the Bukey Away, I see, that's where our first
knew Old him and me with boys there.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
If you excuse me, a minute, mister Kittner, I'll go
see how old Hugh getting along.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, well, Kelly and I.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Got from various news bugle.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
He most time we're out of the bugle. I'll tell
him Margaret, where are you, Margaret out in the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Dear?
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Oh, how are you and mister Kittner getting along?
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Well, he's from Dubuke. I found that.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Oh, brother, are we in for a gay little evening?
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Well, it doesn't matter much what happens now. The evening
is ruined anyway.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I think it's a shame you're not getting to go
to that party. Just another shame.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Well would have been nice.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
I can't find Katy any place. She's probably over at Patty's.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
I told her not to go over there too.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Dad, can't I go over to Joe's. I just got
to Bud.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
We might as well face it that old fuddy Daddy
is wrecked everything for us.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
He certainly picked a fine time for a visit. I'll
say that.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
I'll wait a minute. What's the matter with us? Anyway?
This is no way to be talking about anyone.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Well, I don't care.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I'm as gilly as anyone here.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
But let's look at it from uncle Hubert's point of view,
He's probably lonely and decided this visit would be a
pretty nice thing.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Well, why didn't he let us know?
Speaker 8 (23:24):
I don't know. Probably never occurred to him.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
But instead of sitting around mooning, we ought to be
thinking up ways to make Uncle Hubert's visit a happy
one and forget.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Our own little selfish desires.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Well, I guess you're right. I guess we should all
feel a little ashamed of ourselves.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Well, I don't think Joe is too much of a
guy to write a song with anyway, his ideas and nowhere, I'll.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Bet Uncle Hubert. But like a nice fluffy banana cream pie.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I could make some of those blueberry muffins.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
If you want to hit song, you've got to get
something sentimental, like We kissed in the Moonlight on the
Old Catfish Pard.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Another ballad. I presume, hi, mommy.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
How do I look?
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Well?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
You look fine? But where have you been upstairs?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Taking a bath and cleaning up like you told me to?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Taking a bath will wear his Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I didn't seem is he the one who stole my bed?
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Wait a minute, how could Kathy have been upstairs? In
both the bathroom and her room and not have seen
Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Maybe he moved a suitcase back into my room.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Was it still in our room? Kathy?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No, the only suitcase in there is that one of Patty's.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Was their dolls in it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Oh fine, after we went all the bother of changing
the bed. Now he decides, Wait a minute, what suitcase
are you talking about, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Arl strawin the one that was down here in the hall?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Uh huh?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Oh Christ, we thought it was Uncle Hubert's.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Well, for God's sakes, why didn't you make sure before
you went around telling everybody?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I didn't tell anybody, Well somebody did.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I heard it from Kathy.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I think I heard Bud.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Neddy talking about it.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Well by George, this ought to teach us all a
good lesson not to jump at conclusions and spread rumors.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Well, what I want to know is where his uncle
Hubert's suitcase? Didn't he bring one? He not?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Even Here's stupid he listen.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Oh boy, now I can go over to Joe's and
make big money.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yes, and we can go to the party there.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
It wasn't carnations going on.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Well the dicking do oldh wow, I'll tell you, mister Kittinger.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
That's a long story. He's got time to hear it.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
I got to meet a friend of mine down in
front of the city hall. You tell Hube, I couldn't wait. Okay,
you might give these news item Joe.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
Let him look him over. They're from the Duke Bugle.
We'll give them to a mister Kittner.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Oh much bride.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So on, Jim, just how are you going to give
Uncle Hubert the items when he's not even here?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I'll put them in the letter. I'm going to write
Uncle Hubert, thanking.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Him, thanking him?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
What for?
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Any man who can teach us the lesson he has
today deserves our undying gratitude.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
I see now, dear Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 13 (26:34):
Hello Jerry Marshall again, say, I wonder how many of
you have thought about what a really rewarding experience a
good cup of coffee is.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, it's a fact.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Nothing picks up lagging spirits faster than a steaming cup
of coffee.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
Of course, for many people, the.
Speaker 13 (26:48):
Trouble with coffee is it picks you up and keeps
you up night after sleepless night. That's because ordinary coffee
contains caffeine. Now, if you drink instant sank a coffee
you can be sure of deep down coffee enjoyment and
get your sleep too. You see, ninety seven percent of
the caffeine has been removed from instant sanka. It can't
keep you awake, And instant Sanka is all pure coffee
(27:12):
with an extra rich flavor that makes each cup a
really rewarding experience. By the economy sized jar of instant
Sanka coffee, see how good it is, how well it
lets you sleep.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
A phantom visit of Uncle Hubert came to a sudden end,
but not without leaving an intellible mark on the family
in the white frame house on Maple Street like.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
This, hurry up and finish setting the table. Betty, Wait
a minute, haven't you put on too many plates?
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Three? Four, five, six? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Golly I did. I guess I was thinking about Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
Isn't there some superstition about putting on an extra plate?
By mistake means you're gonna have a visitor, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You don't suppose Uncle Hubert is coming, do you?
Speaker 8 (28:05):
So let's not start jumping at another conclusion.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You know, it's a funny thing, but I feel as
though he's still here on his way or something.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Me too, mother, Well, we've made this mistake once tonight.
Isn't that any.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That's him? Father, I feel it in my bones.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Or it couldn't be, Probably just the wind. Wait a minute,
I'm sure I hears somebody walking around there. Oh, oh
my gosh, uh Uncle.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Hubert, Oh no, it's just me.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Oh, mister Kentner. Hey, did I leave a batch of
news clippings around here?
Speaker 8 (28:46):
I don't want to lose him there from the bugle.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Dart up again next week, but we'll be back with

They're wonderful for breakfast, lunch, or in between meals. So

good for you. You wouldn't think an old straw suitcase
(01:16):
full of dolls and doll clothes could upset a whole household,
would you? Well, that's exactly what happened at the white
frame house on Maple Street.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The other day.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The suitcase belonged to Little Patty Davis, who left it
in the Anderson yard, and Kathy brought it in the
house for safe keeping. She said it in the hall
and made her usual check in.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Call mumy mummy.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
But Margaret was next door borrowing some gloves for a
party she and Jim were to attend that evening, so
Kathy repaired to the kitchen for Operation peanut butter Sandwich.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Betty was the next to arrive home from school, and as.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
She stood there contemplating the suitcase, young Bud entered the
house in his usual delicate fashion.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Creepers, save the pieces.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Oh, hi, Betty, Hey whose suitcase? Who's here?
Speaker 5 (02:03):
I don't know. I just got home myself.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Hey Mom, who's here?
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Don't let them hear you?
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Whoever's here already knows her. Hey, Mom, is there a name?
I'm the suitcase.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I don't see any Oh, let's.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Open it and see if we can find a name inside.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
No, Bud, that's not pride. Oh besides, he might catch us.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Is it it he?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
It must be No, she would have an old suitcase
like that. It looks like that old straw thing. Uncle
Hubert used to lug around.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Gosh, you don't suppose it is Uncle Hubert, do you cheepers?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I hope not. I'll never forget the last time he
was here. It seemed like we were quarantined in with
the measles.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
We better peek in the suitcase and find out for sure.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
No, Bud, he's bound to walk in here the minute
we open it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Well, I don't think anybody's here right now, mom, see
no answer.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Well, in that case, maybe we Oh, he's probably got
it locked. He always locks up everything.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I could call Claude Messner. He claims he knows how
to pick locks.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
We can't break in silly. Wait, I think I hear
somebody in the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Oh, he's probably out there hitting the ice box.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Run out and see.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Oh, no thanks. I don't want to see him any
sooner than I have to.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Well, i'll do it. B We know it might not
even be him.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I'd rather not find out.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Uncle Hubert. Oh it's you, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hi, did anyone peanut butter sandwich?
Speaker 6 (03:42):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think I put too many pickles in it.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Hickle.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You can have it if you want it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I don't want it, Kathy. If you seen uncle Hubert,
Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Is he here?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
That's what we're trying to figure out. We here, We
don't know, We haven't seen him.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Was never here when you got home, No, nobody was.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
He've probably gone someplace together, probably the grocery store. Well,
I guess there's no use worrying about it till we
see him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Sure you don't want this sandwich?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Maybe if I put some jelly in it, that might
have sort of sweetened up the pickle.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Hello Angel, Hi, Mommy, Worth, Uncle Hubert, Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Didn't you know Uncle Hubert is here here?
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Oh no, you're joking.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Betty said he was here.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Oh good heavens.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Why does he always have to pop in without a
word of warning?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Where is he in the living room?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know. Betty was out here looking for him
a minute ago.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh dear, well, I'd better go in and see what's happened.
And I'm a cookie mommy, I don't care.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Our meals will be all mixed stuff now.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Anyway, I thought things were going along a little too
smoothly lately. Oh, hi, mom, you home, Yes, says I'm home.
Where's Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We thought he was with you.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
No, I haven't even seen him.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
As a matter of fact, I didn't know he was
here until a few minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Well, I can't find him upstairs anywhere. Oh hello, mother,
is he with you?
Speaker 7 (05:33):
No, I haven't been here.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was over at missus Davis's trying to borrow some
black gloves to wear the Stewart's party tonight.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Didn't Uncle Hubert say where he was going?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I didn't say. Just put his suitcase down there and left.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
He was gone when we got home.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh, dear, he must have arrived when I was next door.
Did Kathy see you, Margaret?
Speaker 8 (05:52):
I'm home?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
What have we got here? At convention?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Dad? Father? Guess what?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Dad?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Look at that suitcase?
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Huh what about it?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Oh no, Oh.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
I was feeling so good tonight too.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Where is he? We don't know. You're right bags at the.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Davidson So he left his suitcase here and went out.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Oh me, he's probably sitting in some restaurant pouting. I
suppose i'd better go out and start looking for him. Oh,
by the way, Margaret, here's a little present for you.
You won't have any use for it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Now, though.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
What is it? Jims?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
The corsage to wear to the party tonight.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
You still wear one of those, Mom, I said, corsage, but.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Flowers, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh oh it's beautiful, dear.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
But I guess you're right.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
We can't go now.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Well, I can't be here. Joe and I are gonna
write a song tonight.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Write a song.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Joe found an ad in the magazine and it says
that all we have to do is write the words
and they'll write the music for it, and we'll earn
big money overnight.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
That's fine, but I think you better stick around here tonight.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Oh gee, Dad, don't you want me to earn big money? Well, certainly,
but overnight?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Yes. But you know how disappointed Uncle Hubert will be
if we're not all here.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
He always wants to have everyone around him.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Dad, this is the chance of a lifetime. All we
have to do is send in two dollars with our
words to cover the cost of handling, and we earn
big money.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Look, Bud, that's justin Wells.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Can you get a deal like that?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
But you can't write a song?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Oh no, we already got a great title.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
How do you like this?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I'm gonna cut you in my iron claw machine, Baby brother,
it's a balance.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
How cornball can you get?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, we better wind up this musical discussion and figure
out a place for Uncle Hubert to sleep.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
But oh no, not my room again.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I don't know where else to put him.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Oh, you can make out on the davenport all right,
can't you, Bud?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
I keep rolling off by morning, I'm old bruised.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Maybe that'll give you a new title for a song. Oh,
how blue I am?
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Or get lost?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Bud?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Why don't you take a suitcase up to your room
and I'll get some sheets and change the bed.
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Just look at that suitcase. It looks even worse than
the last time he was here. As long as the
old one holds together, he wouldn't put out a nickel
for a new one.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Come on, take the suitcase upstairs.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay, you better take some of your clothes out of
your closet and put them in the hall closet so
Uncle Hubert will have more room.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
More room for what that one suit?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
He wears. I'll get it, No, i'll get it. It's
probably Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
He's probably gotten into a fight with a streetcar conductor
over the price of the fair.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
I'm coming hello. Who oh, yes, just a minute, I'll
call her for me. No, Kathy, is she here out
in the kitchen?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Kathy, somebody call me?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
You want it on the phone, shrimp boat.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I bet it's Patty worrying about her dolls and stuff. Hello.
Oh yeah, I found him, Patty. I brought him in
the house. Huh, just a minute, Daddy, Can I take
Patty's dolls over to her?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Now, kit you'd better be here when Uncle Hubert gets back.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh, gee, hello Patty. No, I can't. Well, I'll take
good care of them. I'll put them in my room, Okay, Patty, goodbye? Gee, Daddy,
I don't see why I can't go.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hey, where's the suitcase? Bud took it upstairs?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Oh well good.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
You better run upstairs too and get cleaned up.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's just where I'm going. Oh, say, Daddy, when Uncle
Hubert gets here, will you do me a favor?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
That depends on what it is?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Getting Well, every time he sees me, he always says,
I'll bet here's a little girl who likes candy.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Well you like candy, all right, don't you sure?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
But he never gives me anything. Oh ask him to
put up.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Or shut up, Kathy.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
It's not very nice to say.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Shut up all right, then ask him to put up.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
I'll see what I can do, kitten, But you better
get upstairs now.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I better take care of those dogs. Hi, Bud?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Where'd you put the suitcase in my room?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Dad?
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Yes, Bud, will you.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Grab some of these clothes before I trip? I'm losing
my catarright pants?
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Well, keep your shirt on, I'll help you.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Father.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Why didn't you leave your clothes on the hangers? It
would have been a lot easier.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
They weren't on hangers. It was easier just to pick
them up off the floor this way.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Oh fine, open the closet door for us, will you, betty?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Thank you, father, But don't throw your clothes on the floor.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Well, I hate to get those hang amoks in him
make them look so untidy.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Father, I still don't think it's right for you and
mother to stay home tonight.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
What else can we do?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Just go?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
It's a Hubert's fault for not letting us know he
was coming. Besides, you and mother don't get to go
out very often, and you deserve to have a little fun.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well, thanks, Princess, that's very thoughtful.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
But besides, I invited Ralph over tonight because I thought
we'd be alone.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Oh, I see, except.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
For Kathy of course.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Can I go over to Joe's now?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Look, kids, To be honest, I'm not any happier than
you are about Uncle Hubert, but there's nothing we can
do about it.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Where is relatives? And he wants to visit us?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Doesn't he have any friends he could visit?
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Not in Springfield? He doesn't.
Speaker 9 (12:27):
And besides, wait a minute, he does have a friend here,
old west Kittner Bess Kidner.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You mean that old fellow who sits on the bench
in front of the city.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Hall all day long.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Sure, don't you remember the last time Uncle Hubert was here?
He spent a day over at West Kittner's place.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
How come they know each other?
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
They both come from Dubuke, Iowa.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Originally, I wonder if Uncle Hubert would like to see
his old friend again tonight.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Tonight would be a fine time.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
Yeah, I believe I'll just give Vesse call and let
him know he's old pal is in town.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Now you're cooking there, get to the phone. Well, don't
push me, I'll look up the number.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Father, how's that spelled? Kik any are to tease?
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I think maybe that's where Uncle Hubert is right now?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, here it is best neer L. Kittner eighty six
nine one.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
He's already there. It'll make it easier, Betty. How is
this for a song?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Not now, bud, Let's kiss and hog down by the
old cutbreak drug? Well at rhymes, doesn't it? Hello?
Speaker 9 (13:38):
Mister Kittenner, is this best Kittner? Well, this is Jim Anderson.
Jim Anderson. I'm a relative of Hubert Clark.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Is he there?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
That's right? Oh, he's fine. As a matter of fact,
he's in town, and I know he'd like to get together.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
With you sometime, not sometime tonight.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Well that's fine, Kittner. Uh, what are you doing tonight?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Now?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
You're pitching Dad?
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Well?
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Good, Oh he's not here right now, but as soon
as he gets back out to what Well, now, wait
a minute, mister Kittner. What I meant was mister Kittner?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Hello, Hello?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Oh me?
Speaker 6 (14:19):
What's the matter? Dad?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Isn't he going to get together with Uncle Hubert tonight?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yeah, he's going to get together with him tonight, all right,
but he's coming over here to do it. Now we're
stuck with both of them.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Well, it looks like the rumors flying around the Anderson
household are causing no end of complication. But mother, here
are some facts that will make your life much simpler.
Speaker 10 (14:52):
I'm sure you've heard that brand is good for your
family because it provides important keep regular benefits. Perhaps you've
even tried serving brand but found that the family didn't
especially like its taste. Well they'll like it now. Post
brand flakes have a new magic oven flavor, a crisper
(15:12):
texture that's downright delicious. Yes, brand flakes by Post taste
so good. They're preferred and eaten by far more people
than any other brand flakes. Serving Post brand flakes is
one way to make sure your family enjoys their keep
regular benefits in a delicious, cereal remember, for goodness.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Sake, eat Post brand flakes, so good, so good for you.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Post brand flakes are bought by far more people than
any other brand flakes. So this weekend, get Post brand
flakes and start enjoying them for breakfast, for lunch, and
before bedtime snacks.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
They're good and so good for you.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Well, it just shows you how an innocent, little suitcase
full of dolls deceive the Andersons into thinking Uncle Hubert
had come to visit, which meant they will all have
to give up.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Their plans for the evening.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Jim's plan to send Uncle Hubert over to an old
friend's house backfired when the friend decided to come over
there to see Hubert. While most of the Andersons were
in the kitchen trying to think up a new plan,
Kathy went upstairs and moved the suitcase from Bud's room
to her room, and then went into the bathroom to
take a bath. At this point, bub went up to
his room to get a few more of his belongings
and discovered the suitcase switch, and then tiptoed downstairs to
(16:43):
report the news like this, Hey mom, Dad.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I got some news.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
That kid's gonna break right through those stairs someday.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Hey Dad, he's here.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Who is best case Uncle Hubert? Well, thank goodness, now
I don't have to go out and try to find him.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Did he say how long he was going to stay?
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Well, I didn't get to see him. He's taking a bath,
at least I think he is. The bathroom door is
locked and I heard a lot of splashing in there.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I hope he doesn't let the tub run over again
this time.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
He doesn't want to sleep in my room though, because
he moved his suitcase into Betty and Kathy's room.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
In our room. Oh dear, I wish he wasn't so fussy.
Nothing ever suits him.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Well, he can't stay in our room.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
What we'll have to do is put some clean sheets
on Betty's bed. Betty can sleep in Bud's room, and
then remove Kathy's bed into our room.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I'm not going to do it. I don't want to
sleep in Bud's room.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Betty. This is an emergency. We'll all just have to
make the best of it.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Oh pooh, I don't want to sleep down on the
davroom part. Let me have my room and let Betty
sleep down here.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I'm not going to sleep downstairs.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, wait a minute, Bud can have this room. Betty,
you can sleep with me, and Jim you sleep on
the death.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
We'll all just have to make the best of it.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Father, I'm too long for the Davenport. It takes me
an hour and a half to get straightened out again
in the morning.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Come on, Betty, we better get upstairs and change those sheets.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Okay, Jim, you and Buddy better come up and move
Kathy fair.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Okay, come on, Bud, I'm coming.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
We better get things squared around before our new guest,
Bess Kifner gets here.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
I don't know why Uncle Hubert had to pick this
time for a visit.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
She'll hear you right there in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't care that he's moved out the wrinkles in
the sheet on your side there.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Oh, let him straighten out the wrinkles himself. He's an
old trouble maker, that's what he is.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Oh now, Betty, well.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I'll tell you one thing. I'm sure we should get
my name straight this time. Last time he was here,
he kept calling me dumb.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
That might not have been a mistake.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh well, so this is little Dub.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Dub sure got his mother's chekphones.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You got your mother's keekphones.
Speaker 11 (19:12):
Dark, he'll hear you, Dub wrap Hold the end of
the bed there, Dub, and let's get it moved.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Okay. I ought to be over Joe's writing a song.
That's what I ought to be doing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Watch up, Bud, don't hit the door.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
Oh sorry, easy, but tipp it morey.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Kathy ought to be doing this. It's her bed.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Where's Kathy anyway?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't know I told her to take a bath
and clean up, but she probably went outside again when
she couldn't get in the bathroom.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Watch where you're going there, Bud, bo I bet that's Ralph.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
He said he might come for dinner. I'll go down.
I'm gonna tell him to go home, and too embarrassing.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
To have him stay, Okay, Bud said he don dead.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Couldn't I go over to chows just long enough to
knock out half a song, No, Bud, that would at
least give me a part interest in it.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Look, Bud, we've been over this a thousand times.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You don't want to have to.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Support me all your life, do you, father? Father, I'm
losing a fortune sticking around here.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Father.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
If mister Kittner already, what's he planning to do.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Have dinner with us, I'd better get downstairs and start cooking.
But go out and see if you can find Kathy.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Hurry up, Father, come.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Down and talk to it all right, I'm coming.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
He's in the living room. He brought a whole lot
of old newspaper clippings to show Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
I'll bet that'll be interesting, Daddy.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Would you go out in the kitchen and start peeling
some potatoes. I'll be right down.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Well, hello there, mister Kidney, he hardy, hardy, I'm mister Anderson.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Hey, sure I know you.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Have no anywhere, mister Albertson.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
Where Old Hugh, Well, old Hube is upstairs bathing. He'll
be down shortly, I hope, yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
I used to know old Hugh back in Dubukeyway.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, I know. Hub and me was boys together there.
Speaker 12 (21:16):
Young lads used to ride around on the back end
of Charlie get their speed dagon.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Where's old Hugh? I said, he's upstairs, He'll be down.
I got a few clippings here, various news items. Old
Hub will get a kick out of them.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
He Charlot liked him the last time he was here.
I've saved some of these, brother forty years.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
You want to come over. I think Old Hugh will
be down pretty soon.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Him and me grew up together in Dubuke Away.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yes, I know, hey boy, that's the best way.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Young lad is together was, and that was in Dubuke.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
I'm aware of that.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
At the Bukey Away, I see, that's where our first
knew Old him and me with boys there.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
If you excuse me, a minute, mister Kittner, I'll go
see how old Hugh getting along.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, well, Kelly and I.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Got from various news bugle.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
He most time we're out of the bugle. I'll tell
him Margaret, where are you, Margaret out in the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Dear?
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Oh, how are you and mister Kittner getting along?
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Well, he's from Dubuke. I found that.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Oh, brother, are we in for a gay little evening?
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Well, it doesn't matter much what happens now. The evening
is ruined anyway.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I think it's a shame you're not getting to go
to that party. Just another shame.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Well would have been nice.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
I can't find Katy any place. She's probably over at Patty's.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
I told her not to go over there too.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Dad, can't I go over to Joe's. I just got
to Bud.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
We might as well face it that old fuddy Daddy
is wrecked everything for us.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
He certainly picked a fine time for a visit. I'll
say that.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
I'll wait a minute. What's the matter with us? Anyway?
This is no way to be talking about anyone.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Well, I don't care.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I'm as gilly as anyone here.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
But let's look at it from uncle Hubert's point of view,
He's probably lonely and decided this visit would be a
pretty nice thing.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Well, why didn't he let us know?
Speaker 8 (23:24):
I don't know. Probably never occurred to him.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
But instead of sitting around mooning, we ought to be
thinking up ways to make Uncle Hubert's visit a happy
one and forget.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Our own little selfish desires.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Well, I guess you're right. I guess we should all
feel a little ashamed of ourselves.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Well, I don't think Joe is too much of a
guy to write a song with anyway, his ideas and nowhere, I'll.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Bet Uncle Hubert. But like a nice fluffy banana cream pie.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I could make some of those blueberry muffins.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
If you want to hit song, you've got to get
something sentimental, like We kissed in the Moonlight on the
Old Catfish Pard.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Another ballad. I presume, hi, mommy.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
How do I look?
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Well?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
You look fine? But where have you been upstairs?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Taking a bath and cleaning up like you told me to?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Taking a bath will wear his Uncle Hubert?
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I didn't seem is he the one who stole my bed?
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Wait a minute, how could Kathy have been upstairs? In
both the bathroom and her room and not have seen
Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Maybe he moved a suitcase back into my room.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Was it still in our room? Kathy?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No, the only suitcase in there is that one of Patty's.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Was their dolls in it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Oh fine, after we went all the bother of changing
the bed. Now he decides, Wait a minute, what suitcase
are you talking about, Kathy.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Arl strawin the one that was down here in the hall?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Uh huh?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Oh Christ, we thought it was Uncle Hubert's.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Well, for God's sakes, why didn't you make sure before
you went around telling everybody?
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I didn't tell anybody, Well somebody did.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I heard it from Kathy.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I think I heard Bud.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Neddy talking about it.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Well by George, this ought to teach us all a
good lesson not to jump at conclusions and spread rumors.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Well, what I want to know is where his uncle
Hubert's suitcase? Didn't he bring one? He not?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Even Here's stupid he listen.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Oh boy, now I can go over to Joe's and
make big money.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yes, and we can go to the party there.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
It wasn't carnations going on.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Well the dicking do oldh wow, I'll tell you, mister Kittinger.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
That's a long story. He's got time to hear it.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
I got to meet a friend of mine down in
front of the city hall. You tell Hube, I couldn't wait. Okay,
you might give these news item Joe.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
Let him look him over. They're from the Duke Bugle.
We'll give them to a mister Kittner.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Oh much bride.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So on, Jim, just how are you going to give
Uncle Hubert the items when he's not even here?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I'll put them in the letter. I'm going to write
Uncle Hubert, thanking.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Him, thanking him?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
What for?
Speaker 9 (26:14):
Any man who can teach us the lesson he has
today deserves our undying gratitude.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
I see now, dear Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 13 (26:34):
Hello Jerry Marshall again, say, I wonder how many of
you have thought about what a really rewarding experience a
good cup of coffee is.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, it's a fact.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
Nothing picks up lagging spirits faster than a steaming cup
of coffee.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
Of course, for many people, the.
Speaker 13 (26:48):
Trouble with coffee is it picks you up and keeps
you up night after sleepless night. That's because ordinary coffee
contains caffeine. Now, if you drink instant sank a coffee
you can be sure of deep down coffee enjoyment and
get your sleep too. You see, ninety seven percent of
the caffeine has been removed from instant sanka. It can't
keep you awake, And instant Sanka is all pure coffee
(27:12):
with an extra rich flavor that makes each cup a
really rewarding experience. By the economy sized jar of instant
Sanka coffee, see how good it is, how well it
lets you sleep.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
A phantom visit of Uncle Hubert came to a sudden end,
but not without leaving an intellible mark on the family
in the white frame house on Maple Street like.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
This, hurry up and finish setting the table. Betty, Wait
a minute, haven't you put on too many plates?
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Three? Four, five, six? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Golly I did. I guess I was thinking about Uncle Hubert.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
Isn't there some superstition about putting on an extra plate?
By mistake means you're gonna have a visitor, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You don't suppose Uncle Hubert is coming, do you?
Speaker 8 (28:05):
So let's not start jumping at another conclusion.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You know, it's a funny thing, but I feel as
though he's still here on his way or something.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Me too, mother, Well, we've made this mistake once tonight.
Isn't that any.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That's him? Father, I feel it in my bones.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Or it couldn't be, Probably just the wind. Wait a minute,
I'm sure I hears somebody walking around there. Oh, oh
my gosh, uh Uncle.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Hubert, Oh no, it's just me.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Oh, mister Kentner. Hey, did I leave a batch of
news clippings around here?
Speaker 8 (28:46):
I don't want to lose him there from the bugle.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Dart up again next week, but we'll be back with
father knows best ring Robert Young is Jim Anderson. Until then,
good night and good luck from the makers of Post
forty percent brand Flakes, the cereal prepared and eaten by
far more people than any other brand flakes, an instant Thanka,
