Yes, the Aldridge Family written by Clifford Goldsmith. Centerville is
only a dot on the map, and one hundred and
seventeen Olm Street is only a typical American home. But
it's where the Aldridges live, and it isn't far from where.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You live or used to live.

The time is Saturday morning. Oh boy, Mary, do I

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Henry?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Why are you pupping out your chest that way?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
No, it just feels swell.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
There? You know what happened at school this week? Mother?
What there? Well?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
They were having a meeting, see, and I didn't know
they were going to elect a class debt committee.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
And the first thing I know, somebody nominated me.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
What kind of a committee?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
A class debt committee?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
A class debt?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sure, mother, we.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Own money and they needed someone to take charge of it.
And you were elected, sure almost unanimously.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Who did what?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Unanimously?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
The class father to me, Sam, Henry's been elected to
wipe out his class debt this year.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You were she whiz, I don't know, everything's just suddenly going.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Swell, and you were elected unanimously, practically, and.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Then the school photographer took a picture of.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
You, Henry.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
Sure, Henry, I certainly hope you didn't have your picture
taken looking like that.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What's the matter with me?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You never needed a haircut more in your.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Life a haircut. I don't need a haircut.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
You look at it, it's almost down to your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Mother, you're exaggerating.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Would you like some ribbons in it?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Henry? Mary?
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Well, dear, you should never have let them take a
picture of you like that, especially if they elected you unanimously.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Mother.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
They didn't just point the camera at my hair. George
Bigelow didn't even have a tie on.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
What was he doing in the picture?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, she whishfably.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
You don't think he asked me to wipe out the
whole debt single handed, do you.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Well, those that don't notice George's tie will certainly notice
your hair, Henry.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
How many are there on your committee?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, counting everybody? Fourteen fourteen fourteen. Yeah, but in the picture,
I was in the first row.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Father, Well, it's too late now, but you're going down
and get a haircut on.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
A Saturday morning. Waste the whole Saturday morning in the
barber's chair.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
As a matter of fact, if you wait.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Until I finished the breakfast dishes, I'll go down with you.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, Mother, I can tell him how to cut my
own hair all by myself.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
And Henry, how about the last time you came home
with a haircut she was married.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
That's the way all the guys were wearing it last month,
mowing the front and high.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
In the back.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Going with you, mother, Please don't embarrass me.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
My goodness, what's embarrassing about having your mother go into
a barbershop with you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It just isn't done. Mother, The very idea makes me nervous. Yes, Sam,
could you come here a minute.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Please, I'll be right there. And Henry, you're to get
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Down to the barbershop. Yes, Mother, only don't feel you
have to leave your work in order to go with me.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Mother, Mother, Henry, she wants to go.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
With you, Mary, she'll only be embarrassed down there with
all those men. You tell her, I'll have to cut
exactly right.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
You better wait, Henry, Henry, Henry. Mother, he's gone, he's gone.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Where to the barbers and when he comes back, he'll
simply be a sight.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Well, I have a good notion to phone Thompson's barbershop
and tell them just what I want done.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Where are you going, Henry.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
To the barber shop? Homer? Now, I'm in a hurry.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
Look out, you don't need a haircut? What do you
want a haircut for?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Listen, Homer. Do you see that lady coming down the
street back there.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
In the next block, the one that's running. Yeah, that
isn't my mother, is it?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
She's running for a bus. Oh what barber are you
going to? Mister Thompson? Right here in the Centerville Times building? Oh?
Speaker 9 (04:26):
Did you know you're gonna have your picture in the
Times tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (04:29):

Sure, the one guy mccorky took of the class debt committee.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Is it gonna be in the Times? Sure tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
He spent all day yesterday persuading them to run it,
and they finally gave in.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well she is, imagine, Homer, home. Do you see that
car coming? That isn't my mother? Is it? No? Just
the same, I'd better go into the barber shop.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
If I see your mother, I'll tell her you're looking
for no Homer.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You never even saw me? Now how do you do?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
You gotta be a good combination.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, I'm glad to have a customer that knows what
he wants.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
But the way I look at it, if you don't
know how you want your own haircut, who does? Would
you mind swinging the chair around a little so I
could look out the window?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Please?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I thought the light hurt your eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I I like to watch the traffic. Well, how's that fine?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Would you mind not twisting your head like that?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Excuse me.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
I just happen to see somebody come out of that
store across the street. Say, who is that that girl?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh? That's Natalie White. Not bad. She's got a dog
just like mine.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Would you mind holding your head still?
Speaker 11 (06:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I wasn't looking at her. I was looking at that
man go up the ladder.
Speaker 1 (06:51):

wishould skip it tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, bad news.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They're gonna print my picture, darn it, she do. I
hope they don't put it on the front page.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What are they gonna print for?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I'm in charge of something over at the high school.
She was.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I embarrassed when I heard about it. Embarrassed. You know
everybody in town. I'll see it, and I'll I'll be
calling up my mother. Well, most boys would be pretty
proud about a thing like that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, I'd rather just be one of the crowd.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
You know, once they start printing your picture, where's it
all going to?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Could you hold your head still? Henry?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Just looking over at the bakery.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That's Natali White's coming across the street, doesn't she. I
guess she is good looking girl.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Who she is? What's she coming in here for?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Excuse me? But could I bother you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):

Speaker 4 (07:44):
How's yours?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
He's fine?
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Mister Thompson, they don't have any change over the bakery,
and they thought perhaps you could change this five dollar bill.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Sure, I guess I can help him.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hey, mister Thompson, is Henry here? Omer? Where did you
come from?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Nat hold Homer, Henry, I just ran into your sister
up the street. She told me to tell you, as
soon as you've had your hair cut here, to go
right home and let your mother see it.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Your mother, what do you mean she has to see it?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Who did Mary say that?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Sure? She said Henry couldn't be trusted in a barber chair.
I don't think she was home. We're always trying the kid,
mister Thompson.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
When you get through on top, I'd like a shave.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
A what a what a shave?
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And make it close and with bay rum?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Mother? Where are your mother?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm here in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I diday right this minute? They're breaking these eggs.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh well, if there's anything I can.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Get Henry, I thought I told you to go to
the barbers. I did.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Quote, Well, why didn't you have your hair cut?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
She whiz? I did.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Can't you see, Henry, he didn't even touch it?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Turn around, mother, I know he cut it. I saw
the hair fall off.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Well there I can tell when my own son's hair
has been cut. All he did was comb it down?
Speaker 11 (09:10):
Mother?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Is there anything I could Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All rich?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
What's happened to you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What do you mean, what's happened to me?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Well, you're as white as a sheet.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
She was married. That's your sort of powder, talcum powder.
Sure did you ever hear of anybody using chalcolm powder?
After shaving?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who shave you?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
And what's that piece of bandage doing on your cheek?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
It's just a cut, Marry, It's just a cut from
the razor.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
How did the barber happen to cut you a ladder? Fell?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
What sell Henry?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
A ladder that belonged to the center bill times? And
when the man jumped, I jumped, and so did mister Thompson.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
And Mother, look at Henry's hair I have there. I
couldn't miss it, even longer than it.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Was before he went.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
How could it be married?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But it is Henry this morning? It was in curls
down to here, and now it's and it comes all
the way down to here. My goodness, what's that office?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What smell?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
What did he put on your hair? Just a tonic? Mother,
to keep me from growing ball?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Mother, hold me while I say, Henry, dear, I'm not
going to have you walking around the house looking like that.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
And Mother, did you know Henry's been going around telling
everyone he's going to have his picture in the paper tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Listen, Mary, who told you that.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
My goodness, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
All over town it is.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I was just talking to Ted Gould and he said
mister Thompson told him, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Certainly thought mister Thompson could keep it confidential.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Henry, You're going right straight back and tell mister Thompson
to pay a little more attention to his own business
and not so much.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
To everybody else's.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What do you mean, I want him to cut your
hair correctly?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Mother?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
He did, Henry, I want your hair cut.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Mother, you're just influenced by the looks of this bandage.
If you're back off into the dining room and look
at me, you'll get an entirely different perspective.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I'm not going.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
To pay good money to have you look like that
from any perspective. Now, please let me start there.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Mother, I'll be embarrassed to death. She was.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Mister Thompson's very busy and he cut my hair and
I paid him. I wouldn't be comfortable asking him to
do it again.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Well, then, I'm sure Mary would be very glad to
go down with you and.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Ask him mother. Yes, mother, I'd be delighted too.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No, Mary, No, don't you want to be comfortable marry
You can't do that to me?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Can we stop acting like a child.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
I'll go back mother alone. I'll ask him by myself.
But please, don't any member of this family come along?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
And will you tell him to take some of the
sides and off the top?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Yes, mother, I'll tell him to give me a good
all around trimmy. Oh Natalie, where are you going?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Well, I can carry your bundles. Boy, if I didn't
have to go back down to my I mean back
downtown for something.

A man fell off a ladders on you, Oh, right
in front of the center goal Times. He didn't hurt
himself though.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
You're just modest?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Everybody knows about it, about my about your picture. It
is going to be in the Times tomorrow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:27):

as Henry Riander's the barbershop that you.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Henry, Yes, mister Thompson, what are you back for?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You forget something?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
No, not exactly. I'll tell you, mister Thompson, if you
aren't too busy, could you make a couple of small
changes on this job?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What's wrong will it?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Oh? Why? Nothing's wrong with it? I like it very much,
only my mother.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
I mean, well, you don't suppose you could give me
a little less of The New Yorker and a little
more of the Yale Bowl.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Could you sure?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I can do anything you want? But if I even
touch your hair, it's going to spoile it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Do you think so?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I've been cutting hair for twenty years and that's one
of the best jobs I've ever done.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well, now that I look at it in your mirror,
but I can see that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Your mother see it in a good light.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Oh, it hasn't anything to do with my mother. I
guess it was just the mirror we have at home.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Of course, I'll spoil it for you if you really
want me to.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Oh no, I wouldn't even have you touch it. Goodbye,
mister Thompson.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I see in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Kay, she is married, mister Johnson.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Changed your hair yet?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not yet? Marry. I'm just going in.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Well, i'll go in with you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
No marry, you go on, please, I'll be in here
for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, marry.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
What is it now?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Well, I'll tell you, mister Thompson. I know it's against
my better judgment, especially when well that is well, I
think I'll let you spoil it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (15:59):
What I mean mean is you think you could take
a little more off the top and the sides.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Maybe what for?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Well, well, I've got a hat at home, see, and
it's my favorite hat and it fits a little snug
and I think maybe it would be better.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Didn't you tell me you wanted to cut to fit
a hat?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I didn't think of it before.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, hop up in the chair. But mind, Joe, I'm
not going to ruin it. I'm just gonna use it
off a little.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Oh sure, I wouldn't want you to do any more
than that. Quite a crowd out in front, there, isn't there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
That new science being hoisted in the place is quite
a job.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I'm glad to have sort of a front row seat
like this. Mister Thompson is mister Flappham here?
Speaker 1 (16:33):

Speaker 4 (19:16):
The Yanks, Jess Gord.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Mother, Please don't make me go back and be trimmed
again right in the middle of the world series.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Henry, I don't want to hear another word about it.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
You are to go back and tell mister Thompson that
I want your hair cut correctly, or I'll know the
reason why.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I'll go only when I get back into that share
it'll be just like getting up on the guillotine.

Come on, Homer, we.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Got to go downtown again now, Homer, I have to mother.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Listen? Mary? Don't you even come near that barbershop?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
What do you have to go for?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Henry? I have to have my hair cut again. How
are you gonna have it done this time? Well? I
don't give a dying Hollway cuts it. I've lost interest.
Aren't you even interested in how the Yanks come out?
Speaker 1 (19:58):

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Yeah, that snapsh Sure do you understand what you're gonna
do with it?
Speaker 7 (20:02):

office and beat it is my name on the back.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Sure, it, says Henry w Aldrich, chairman of the Class
Debt Committee.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I guess that'll put Toby in his place.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
It's too bad you don't have one where you're not
in a bathing suit.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Do you think they'll really printed? Homer?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
To be honest, no, but I'll tell you how you
could get it in though.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
How get engaged?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Then they'd be sure to print your picture on the
Society page in a bathing suit? What difference would that make?
You'd do in the box of candy.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I know how I might get my picture in how
we If I could only be near a good accident
just as it comes off, then maybe I look, hey,
do you want to be killed?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He was, Why does he watch where he's going?
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Boy, I practically saved your life.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm not sure you should have.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Box of candy? Eh?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Yes, mister Aldrich, and Toby was sitting in this chair here,
and your son Henry was over there in mister Thompson's chair,
and they started arguing me having his picture in the
paper tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Is it going to be end?
Speaker 10 (21:12):
So he says mister Aldrich, and Toby says he's crazy.
That's how they came to bet the box of candy. Well,
now then, is there anything else?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And you're also shaving me?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yes, sir, I'll tell you what you can give me
A couple of good hot towels, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Just let me lie under them for a while and relax. Yes,
mister Rich, you heard how the ball game's going to
two seventh? Any oh, just put your head back, mister Aldrich.
Good too, huh no, no field, good.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Mister Wapham, is mister Thompson here?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You bank who wants me.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It's Henry, mister Thompson.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Now what, mister Thompson, could I just have a word
with you?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You've changed your mind again, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
As far as I'm concerned, my hair's just perfect the
way it is. Only if you be willing to cut
it a little short. I'd be glad to pay sixty
cents out of my allowance.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
What do you want to do that for you rolling
in money?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I don't care about money.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
The main thing is I want to see everybody satisfied.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Eh, Hop up, player, I'll get my clippers between this
hair cutting that box of candy. You bet you're gonna
be broke.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Shesh. Why should I worry about money? My allowance has gone.
There's always plenty more where it came from.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
I don't want to get personal, mister Thompson, but I
wonder if if your hot towels aren't too hot?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
What makes you say that?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I thought I heard the man in the next chair groans.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It's still Henry. Yes, sir, if your mother doesn't like
it this time, it won't be my fault.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I think you ought to make it that short.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sure, we're closed all day tomorrow, and this is.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Your last chance, I know, mister Thompson.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Both still don't even speak there.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, I think that's much. Will that be a full
sixty cents, mister Thompson?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Forget it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Forget it?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, and I'll try and do the same.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well, thank you very much, now, Ia and go home
and watch the game without anything on my mind.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Go bamas to Thompson. I'll see in two weeks. I
get it.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Hey, Henry, Henry.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh, I thought you were Henry Aldridge. I am Henry Aldridge.
What happened to you? Now? Listen, Homer, what is it
you want?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Turn around and let me see your face. You're looking
at my face? Did you take care of the picture
I got caught wear Homer sticking your picture under the
Times door. Just as I put it there, the door
opened and they told me to take it and beat it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Well, gee, whiz, Homer, you're a big hell.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Oh, Henry, Oh, I thought you were.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Oh my, Now listen, Natalie.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I have some scrambled eggs, Henry.
Speaker 2 (24:11):

Speaker 7 (24:12):
Father, Mary, yes, mother, will you please tell your brother
he just spilled some marmalade.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But I'm not speaking to him either, Mother.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Why not look at him?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Father? His head is practically shaved.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Well, she whizz, Mary, After you've gone to the barber
shop as many times in one day as I did yesterday,
you can't expect to.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Have much hair left.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Let's not even mention Henry's hair anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I'm going to get ready to go to church. I'll
be ready to go in here in just a minute. Mother.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Oh no, you're not going with me, well, she.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Whizz, I mean I can't appear in public with anyone
in the family.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Henry.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Have you been down the corner to get the times?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Father, did you forget it?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
No, sir, I just thought you'd like to eat breakfast
in peace, without worrying about anything.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
As soon as you finished your breakfast, will you please
go and get the paper?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yes, sir, But first, could I make a proposition with you?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
What kind of a proposition?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Well, well, if I go down and get the paper,
not only this morning, but every Sunday morning for the
next six months, could you advance me a dollar and a.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Half to buy a box of candy? Him?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
A box of candy? Oh, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I thought you were rolling in money.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm rolling in it after all.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
When your allowance runs out, there's always plenty more where
it came from.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Isn't there who told you?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
That is money?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Will you please tell your brother that Toby Smith is
very anxious to speak to him on the phone.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Mother? Could you please tell him I can't possibly come
to the phone.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm sick in bed, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Couldn't you say he's been scalped?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Please? Mother? Tell him I can't come to the phone.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Who's that?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Excuse me, but it is Henry here? What do you want, Homer?
Did you see the paper? Did you see the paper?
Not even interested in it? Did you see the front page? Here?
Take a look? What at this?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Just three pictures they're putting up that loose in front
of the Times office. Don't you see yourself?
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Me where sitting in Thompson's barber shop in the chair?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I am well? How did they have in the print? Bad?
Why don't you read what it says?
Speaker 9 (26:11):
These three unusual photographs were snapped in front of the
Times building yesterday at eleven am, one pm and three pm.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Which one am I in?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Three? All three?
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Look at yourself under my magnifying glass, Henry. You can
even see the scar where mister Thompson cuts you. Well,
gee whiz, it looked pretty good, don't I.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Mother?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Is Toby still on the phone?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
You're a dear poor businessman to invest money without determining
what your dividend would be.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Like to tell you what return you'll receive on your.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Investment in your community chest.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Normally, about forty percent of one hundred families received directly
services of some kind from one or more Red Feather
agencies during the year. Such services include aid to the handicap,
to orphan children, to the agent, and to the sick
and needy. All families benefit indirectly because these services work
to make your community a healthier, happier, better place in
(27:25):
which to live well. This year, it's a bigger Red
feather because the United Red Feather Campaign must raise seventeen
million dollars extra to provide for the United Defense Fund services,
which include two hundred and fifty seven USO clubs, USO
camp Shows, American Relief for Korea, and many others. So
when you make your contribution, give enough to cover normal
(27:47):
needs plus an extra amount for the added services made
necessary by this defense emergency.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a bigger red feather this year.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Give the United Way, ge Homer, and I saw at Toby.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Why Henry didn't he give you the box of candy
to give to Natalie.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Sure he did, but I didn't know he was going
to put my pictures in it, those three getting your
hair cut.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Sure, and on the bottom he wrote, Chairman of the
Class Debt Committee, going into Debt.
Speaker 3 (28:42):

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yes, the Aldridge Family written by Clifford Goldsmith. Centerville is
only a dot on the map, and one hundred and
seventeen Olm Street is only a typical American home. But
it's where the Aldridges live, and it isn't far from where.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You live or used to live.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And as a typical teenage boy, Henry Aldridge is always
certain to stir up any number of mishaps and memories.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The scene opens in.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The Aldridge living room.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The time is Saturday morning. Oh boy, Mary, do I
feel swell?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Henry?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Why are you pupping out your chest that way?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
No, it just feels swell.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
There? You know what happened at school this week? Mother?
What there? Well?
Speaker 6 (01:03):
They were having a meeting, see, and I didn't know
they were going to elect a class debt committee.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
And the first thing I know, somebody nominated me.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
What kind of a committee?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
A class debt committee?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
A class debt?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sure, mother, we.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Own money and they needed someone to take charge of it.
And you were elected, sure almost unanimously.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Who did what?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Unanimously?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
The class father to me, Sam, Henry's been elected to
wipe out his class debt this year.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You were she whiz, I don't know, everything's just suddenly going.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Swell, and you were elected unanimously, practically, and.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Then the school photographer took a picture of.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
You, Henry.
Speaker 7 (01:41):
Sure, Henry, I certainly hope you didn't have your picture
taken looking like that.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What's the matter with me?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You never needed a haircut more in your.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Life a haircut. I don't need a haircut.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
You look at it, it's almost down to your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Mother, you're exaggerating.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Would you like some ribbons in it?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Henry? Mary?
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Well, dear, you should never have let them take a
picture of you like that, especially if they elected you unanimously.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Mother.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
They didn't just point the camera at my hair. George
Bigelow didn't even have a tie on.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
What was he doing in the picture?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, she whishfably.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
You don't think he asked me to wipe out the
whole debt single handed, do you.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Well, those that don't notice George's tie will certainly notice
your hair, Henry.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
How many are there on your committee?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, counting everybody? Fourteen fourteen fourteen. Yeah, but in the picture,
I was in the first row.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Father, Well, it's too late now, but you're going down
and get a haircut on.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
A Saturday morning. Waste the whole Saturday morning in the
barber's chair.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
As a matter of fact, if you wait.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Until I finished the breakfast dishes, I'll go down with you.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, Mother, I can tell him how to cut my
own hair all by myself.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
And Henry, how about the last time you came home
with a haircut she was married.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
That's the way all the guys were wearing it last month,
mowing the front and high.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
In the back.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Going with you, mother, Please don't embarrass me.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
My goodness, what's embarrassing about having your mother go into
a barbershop with you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It just isn't done. Mother, The very idea makes me nervous. Yes, Sam,
could you come here a minute.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Please, I'll be right there. And Henry, you're to get
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Down to the barbershop. Yes, Mother, only don't feel you
have to leave your work in order to go with me.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Mother, Mother, Henry, she wants to go.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
With you, Mary, she'll only be embarrassed down there with
all those men. You tell her, I'll have to cut
exactly right.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
You better wait, Henry, Henry, Henry. Mother, he's gone, he's gone.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Where to the barbers and when he comes back, he'll
simply be a sight.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Well, I have a good notion to phone Thompson's barbershop
and tell them just what I want done.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Where are you going, Henry.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
To the barber shop? Homer? Now, I'm in a hurry.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
Look out, you don't need a haircut? What do you
want a haircut for?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Listen, Homer. Do you see that lady coming down the
street back there.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
In the next block, the one that's running. Yeah, that
isn't my mother, is it?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
She's running for a bus. Oh what barber are you
going to? Mister Thompson? Right here in the Centerville Times building? Oh?
Speaker 9 (04:26):
Did you know you're gonna have your picture in the
Times tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
In the Time?
Speaker 9 (04:29):
Sure, the one guy mccorky took of the class debt committee.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Is it gonna be in the Times? Sure tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
He spent all day yesterday persuading them to run it,
and they finally gave in.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well she is, imagine, Homer, home. Do you see that
car coming? That isn't my mother? Is it? No? Just
the same, I'd better go into the barber shop.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
If I see your mother, I'll tell her you're looking
for no Homer.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You never even saw me? Now how do you do?

How did you have his cut?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, it's hard to show you if you've never seen him.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well, uh, how about this chart here? I got a
photograph of just about every style there is.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, ge whiz, let's take a look at it.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, here you are. Now here's the style they call
the New Yorker. That would sort of fits your head.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You think so? Is that popular? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Sell a lot of these. And here's the one.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
They call the Yale Bowl.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
No, I don't think, my mother, In fact, I don't
think any body would care for that one?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
What's this one? The bo brum that's more than Eddie Shanton? Kind?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Could you give me the bow brummo up on top
and the New Yorker on the side.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Sure you could.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You gotta be a good combination.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Well, I'm glad to have a customer that knows what
he wants.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
But the way I look at it, if you don't
know how you want your own haircut, who does? Would
you mind swinging the chair around a little so I
could look out the window?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Please?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I thought the light hurt your eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I I like to watch the traffic. Well, how's that fine?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Would you mind not twisting your head like that?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Excuse me.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
I just happen to see somebody come out of that
store across the street. Say, who is that that girl?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh? That's Natalie White. Not bad. She's got a dog
just like mine.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Would you mind holding your head still?
Speaker 11 (06:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I wasn't looking at her. I was looking at that
man go up the ladder.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The Times was putting up a new electric sign out there.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
The Times, mister Thompson not reminds me? Do you ever
read The Times on Sunday? Yes, sir, well, I certainly
wishould skip it tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, bad news.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They're gonna print my picture, darn it, she do. I
hope they don't put it on the front page.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What are they gonna print for?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I'm in charge of something over at the high school.
She was.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
I embarrassed when I heard about it. Embarrassed. You know
everybody in town. I'll see it, and I'll I'll be
calling up my mother. Well, most boys would be pretty
proud about a thing like that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, I'd rather just be one of the crowd.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
You know, once they start printing your picture, where's it
all going to?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Could you hold your head still? Henry?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Just looking over at the bakery.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That's Natali White's coming across the street, doesn't she. I
guess she is good looking girl.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Who she is? What's she coming in here for?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Excuse me? But could I bother you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yes, ma'am?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Hello, Henry?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Hello? How's your dog?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
She's fine?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
How's yours?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
He's fine?
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Mister Thompson, they don't have any change over the bakery,
and they thought perhaps you could change this five dollar bill.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Sure, I guess I can help him.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hey, mister Thompson, is Henry here? Omer? Where did you
come from?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Nat hold Homer, Henry, I just ran into your sister
up the street. She told me to tell you, as
soon as you've had your hair cut here, to go
right home and let your mother see it.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Your mother, what do you mean she has to see it?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Who did Mary say that?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Sure? She said Henry couldn't be trusted in a barber chair.
I don't think she was home. We're always trying the kid,
mister Thompson.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
When you get through on top, I'd like a shave.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
A what a what a shave?
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And make it close and with bay rum?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Mother? Where are your mother?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I'm here in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I diday right this minute? They're breaking these eggs.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh well, if there's anything I can.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Get Henry, I thought I told you to go to
the barbers. I did.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Quote, Well, why didn't you have your hair cut?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
She whiz? I did.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Can't you see, Henry, he didn't even touch it?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Turn around, mother, I know he cut it. I saw
the hair fall off.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Well there I can tell when my own son's hair
has been cut. All he did was comb it down?
Speaker 11 (09:10):
Mother?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Is there anything I could Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All rich?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
What's happened to you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What do you mean, what's happened to me?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Well, you're as white as a sheet.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
She was married. That's your sort of powder, talcum powder.
Sure did you ever hear of anybody using chalcolm powder?
After shaving?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Who shave you?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
And what's that piece of bandage doing on your cheek?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
It's just a cut, Marry, It's just a cut from
the razor.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
How did the barber happen to cut you a ladder? Fell?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
What sell Henry?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
A ladder that belonged to the center bill times? And
when the man jumped, I jumped, and so did mister Thompson.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
And Mother, look at Henry's hair I have there. I
couldn't miss it, even longer than it.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Was before he went.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
How could it be married?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But it is Henry this morning? It was in curls
down to here, and now it's and it comes all
the way down to here. My goodness, what's that office?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What smell?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
What did he put on your hair? Just a tonic? Mother,
to keep me from growing ball?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Mother, hold me while I say, Henry, dear, I'm not
going to have you walking around the house looking like that.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
And Mother, did you know Henry's been going around telling
everyone he's going to have his picture in the paper tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Listen, Mary, who told you that.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
My goodness, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
All over town it is.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I was just talking to Ted Gould and he said
mister Thompson told him, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Certainly thought mister Thompson could keep it confidential.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Henry, You're going right straight back and tell mister Thompson
to pay a little more attention to his own business
and not so much.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
To everybody else's.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What do you mean, I want him to cut your
hair correctly?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Mother?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
He did, Henry, I want your hair cut.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Mother, you're just influenced by the looks of this bandage.
If you're back off into the dining room and look
at me, you'll get an entirely different perspective.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I'm not going.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
To pay good money to have you look like that
from any perspective. Now, please let me start there.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Mother, I'll be embarrassed to death. She was.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Mister Thompson's very busy and he cut my hair and
I paid him. I wouldn't be comfortable asking him to
do it again.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Well, then, I'm sure Mary would be very glad to
go down with you and.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Ask him mother. Yes, mother, I'd be delighted too.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No, Mary, No, don't you want to be comfortable marry
You can't do that to me?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Can we stop acting like a child.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
I'll go back mother alone. I'll ask him by myself.
But please, don't any member of this family come along?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
And will you tell him to take some of the
sides and off the top?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Yes, mother, I'll tell him to give me a good
all around trimmy. Oh Natalie, where are you going?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Huh?
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Well, I can carry your bundles. Boy, if I didn't
have to go back down to my I mean back
downtown for something.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
You gotta go back. What happened to your face?
Speaker 6 (12:05):
A man fell off a ladders on you, Oh, right
in front of the center goal Times. He didn't hurt
himself though.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Oh that reminds me. I guess I'll certainly has to
buy a copy of the Time tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
You will what for him?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You're just modest?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Everybody knows about it, about my about your picture. It
is going to be in the Times tomorrow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh yeah, sure, it sort of slipped my mind.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
I'm getting a copy from my family, and I'm going
to send one of.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Sure? What form?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Who could you see where that bottle of vanilla extract
is broken?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Well, it's there, but it isn't broken.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Isn't that funny? I thought I smelled something?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You did it?
Speaker 7 (13:00):

as Henry Riander's the barbershop that you.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Henry, Yes, mister Thompson, what are you back for?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You forget something?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
No, not exactly. I'll tell you, mister Thompson, if you
aren't too busy, could you make a couple of small
changes on this job?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What's wrong will it?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Oh? Why? Nothing's wrong with it? I like it very much,
only my mother.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
I mean, well, you don't suppose you could give me
a little less of The New Yorker and a little
more of the Yale Bowl.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Could you sure?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I can do anything you want? But if I even
touch your hair, it's going to spoile it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Do you think so?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I've been cutting hair for twenty years and that's one
of the best jobs I've ever done.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well, now that I look at it in your mirror,
but I can see that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Your mother see it in a good light.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Oh, it hasn't anything to do with my mother. I
guess it was just the mirror we have at home.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Of course, I'll spoil it for you if you really
want me to.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Oh no, I wouldn't even have you touch it. Goodbye,
mister Thompson.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I see in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:34):

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Not yet? Marry. I'm just going in.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Well, i'll go in with you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
No marry, you go on, please, I'll be in here
for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, marry.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
What is it now?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Well, I'll tell you, mister Thompson. I know it's against
my better judgment, especially when well that is well, I
think I'll let you spoil it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (15:59):
What I mean mean is you think you could take
a little more off the top and the sides.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Maybe what for?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Well, well, I've got a hat at home, see, and
it's my favorite hat and it fits a little snug
and I think maybe it would be better.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Didn't you tell me you wanted to cut to fit
a hat?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I didn't think of it before.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, hop up in the chair. But mind, Joe, I'm
not going to ruin it. I'm just gonna use it
off a little.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Oh sure, I wouldn't want you to do any more
than that. Quite a crowd out in front, there, isn't there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
That new science being hoisted in the place is quite
a job.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I'm glad to have sort of a front row seat
like this. Mister Thompson is mister Flappham here?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah? Just a second, hey, John customer? Come?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay? Yeah, my mother says, give it the works, Get
in the chair. Henry, were you just talking to that
Natalie White a little while ago? Sure?
Speaker 6 (16:44):
And why well, just because she's a new girl in town, Henry,
don't think you have to impress her with yourself.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What do you mean? You know what you told her?
I about your picture being in the paper tomorrow. I
told her that will be. I hardly brought the subject up.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Hold your head still here.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You made the whole thing up just to make her
think you were somebody. You are crazy?
Speaker 1 (17:00):

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yes it is, mister Thompson, it is not. You wan't

Speaker 2 (18:17):
It isn't what it isn't. What do you mean it isn't?
You're crazy? Are you trying to make me out a liar? Henry?
Speaker 6 (18:25):

Dear, If I were you, i'd stay out of this.
Oh my goodness, Henry, it's worse than ever.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
The Yanks, Jess Gord.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Mother, Please don't make me go back and be trimmed
again right in the middle of the world series.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Henry, I don't want to hear another word about it.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
You are to go back and tell mister Thompson that
I want your hair cut correctly, or I'll know the
reason why.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I'll go only when I get back into that share
it'll be just like getting up on the guillotine.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Henry.

Come on, Homer, we.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Got to go downtown again now, Homer, I have to mother.

What do you have to go for?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Henry? I have to have my hair cut again. How
are you gonna have it done this time? Well? I

office and beat it is my name on the back.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Sure, it, says Henry w Aldrich, chairman of the Class
Debt Committee.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I guess that'll put Toby in his place.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
It's too bad you don't have one where you're not
in a bathing suit.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Do you think they'll really printed? Homer?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
To be honest, no, but I'll tell you how you
could get it in though.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
How get engaged?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Then they'd be sure to print your picture on the
Society page in a bathing suit? What difference would that make?
You'd do in the box of candy.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I know how I might get my picture in how
we If I could only be near a good accident
just as it comes off, then maybe I look, hey,
do you want to be killed?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He was, Why does he watch where he's going?
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Boy, I practically saved your life.

I'm not sure you should have.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Box of candy? Eh?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Yes, mister Aldrich, and Toby was sitting in this chair here,
and your son Henry was over there in mister Thompson's chair,
and they started arguing me having his picture in the
paper tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Is it going to be end?
Speaker 10 (21:12):
So he says mister Aldrich, and Toby says he's crazy.
That's how they came to bet the box of candy. Well,
now then, is there anything else?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And you're also shaving me?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yes, sir, I'll tell you what you can give me

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You bank who wants me.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It's Henry, mister Thompson.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Now what, mister Thompson, could I just have a word
with you?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
You've changed your mind again, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
As far as I'm concerned, my hair's just perfect the
way it is. Only if you be willing to cut
it a little short. I'd be glad to pay sixty
cents out of my allowance.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
What do you want to do that for you rolling
in money?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I don't care about money.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
The main thing is I want to see everybody satisfied.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Eh, Hop up, player, I'll get my clippers between this
hair cutting that box of candy. You bet you're gonna
be broke.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Shesh. Why should I worry about money? My allowance has gone.
There's always plenty more where it came from.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
I don't want to get personal, mister Thompson, but I
wonder if if your hot towels aren't too hot?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
What makes you say that?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I thought I heard the man in the next chair groans.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It's still Henry. Yes, sir, if your mother doesn't like
it this time, it won't be my fault.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I think you ought to make it that short.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sure, we're closed all day tomorrow, and this is.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Your last chance, I know, mister Thompson.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Both still don't even speak there.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Well, I think that's much. Will that be a full
sixty cents, mister Thompson?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Forget it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Forget it?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, and I'll try and do the same.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well, thank you very much, now, Ia and go home
and watch the game without anything on my mind.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Go bamas to Thompson. I'll see in two weeks. I
get it.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Hey, Henry, Henry.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh, I thought you were Henry Aldridge. I am Henry Aldridge.
What happened to you? Now? Listen, Homer, what is it
you want?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Turn around and let me see your face. You're looking
at my face? Did you take care of the picture
I got caught wear Homer sticking your picture under the
Times door. Just as I put it there, the door
opened and they told me to take it and beat it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Well, gee, whiz, Homer, you're a big hell.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Oh, Henry, Oh, I thought you were.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Oh my, Now listen, Natalie.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I have some scrambled eggs, Henry.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
No, thank you.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Father, Mary, yes, mother, will you please tell your brother
he just spilled some marmalade.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But I'm not speaking to him either, Mother.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Why not look at him?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Father? His head is practically shaved.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Well, she whizz, Mary, After you've gone to the barber
shop as many times in one day as I did yesterday,
you can't expect to.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Have much hair left.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Let's not even mention Henry's hair anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I'm going to get ready to go to church. I'll
be ready to go in here in just a minute. Mother.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Oh no, you're not going with me, well, she.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Whizz, I mean I can't appear in public with anyone
in the family.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Henry.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Have you been down the corner to get the times?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Father, did you forget it?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
No, sir, I just thought you'd like to eat breakfast
in peace, without worrying about anything.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
As soon as you finished your breakfast, will you please
go and get the paper?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yes, sir, But first, could I make a proposition with you?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
What kind of a proposition?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Well, well, if I go down and get the paper,
not only this morning, but every Sunday morning for the
next six months, could you advance me a dollar and a.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Half to buy a box of candy? Him?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
A box of candy? Oh, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I thought you were rolling in money.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I'm rolling in it after all.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
When your allowance runs out, there's always plenty more where
it came from.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Isn't there who told you?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
That is money?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Will you please tell your brother that Toby Smith is
very anxious to speak to him on the phone.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Mother? Could you please tell him I can't possibly come
to the phone.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm sick in bed, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Couldn't you say he's been scalped?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Please? Mother? Tell him I can't come to the phone.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Who's that?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Excuse me, but it is Henry here? What do you want, Homer?
Did you see the paper? Did you see the paper?
Not even interested in it? Did you see the front page? Here?
Take a look? What at this?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Just three pictures they're putting up that loose in front
of the Times office. Don't you see yourself?
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Me where sitting in Thompson's barber shop in the chair?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I am well? How did they have in the print? Bad?
Why don't you read what it says?
Speaker 9 (26:11):
These three unusual photographs were snapped in front of the
Times building yesterday at eleven am, one pm and three pm.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Which one am I in?
Speaker 6 (26:26):
All?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Three? All three?
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Look at yourself under my magnifying glass, Henry. You can
even see the scar where mister Thompson cuts you. Well,
gee whiz, it looked pretty good, don't I.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Mother?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Is Toby still on the phone?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
You're a dear poor businessman to invest money without determining
what your dividend would be.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Like to tell you what return you'll receive on your.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Investment in your community chest.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Normally, about forty percent of one hundred families received directly
services of some kind from one or more Red Feather
agencies during the year. Such services include aid to the handicap,
to orphan children, to the agent, and to the sick
and needy. All families benefit indirectly because these services work
to make your community a healthier, happier, better place in
(27:25):
which to live well. This year, it's a bigger Red
feather because the United Red Feather Campaign must raise seventeen
million dollars extra to provide for the United Defense Fund services,
which include two hundred and fifty seven USO clubs, USO
camp Shows, American Relief for Korea, and many others. So
when you make your contribution, give enough to cover normal
(27:47):
needs plus an extra amount for the added services made
necessary by this defense emergency.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a bigger red feather this year.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Give the United Way, ge Homer, and I saw at Toby.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Why Henry didn't he give you the box of candy
to give to Natalie.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Sure he did, but I didn't know he was going
to put my pictures in it, those three getting your
hair cut.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Sure, and on the bottom he wrote, Chairman of the
Class Debt Committee, going into Debt.

is played by Bobby Ellis, and Homer by Johnny Fiedler.
