Speaker 4 (00:34):
Good evening, friend, Vionna.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
On this day before Thanksgiving, We're going to have a
few more Thanksgiving shows as fald Knows Best starring Robert Young,
The Jimmy Durandy Show, Bibber McGee and Molly Jack Benny
over at Mary Livingston's house for Thanksgiving, and Claudia as
they get ready to celebrate a Thanksgiving together that coming

(01:00):
up on this Wednesday. This is the twenty sixth day
of November three hundred and thirtyeth day of the year,
thirty five days left in twenty twenty five. In the
Hawaiian Islands, on this date in seventeen seventy eight, Captain
James Cook became the first Ethiopian to visit Maui. A
National Thanksgiving Day observed in the US, as recommended by

(01:22):
President Washington on this date in seventeen eighty nine. Now
in eighteen forty two, the University of Notre Dame was
founded and the National Hockey League formed on this date
in nineteen seventeen. The Toll of the Sea debut on

(01:43):
this date in nineteen twenty two as the first generally
released film to use two tone technicolor. The Golf Between
was the first film to do it, it was not
widely distributed. President Roosevelt signed a bill on this date
in nineteen five forty one establishing the fourth Thursday in

(02:03):
November as Thanksgiving Day in the US, and that would
begin a whole conflagration, if you know what I'm talking about.
It kind of got crazy when they were trying to
figure out what day would really be Thanksgiving Day. A
year later, on this date, in nineteen forty two, President

(02:23):
Roosevelt ordered nationwide gas rationing beginning the first of December.
Troops from the People's Republic of China launched a massive
counterattack in North Korea against South Korean and American forces
on this date in nineteen fifty, ending any hope for
a quick end to the conflict. Premiering on this date
in nineteen fifty six, an iconic game show.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Now your host on the Pace is right there.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
Like weap them.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
And good to have you here it is our pleasure,
and the.

Speaker 8 (03:03):
UFOs at home, Hello and welcome.

Speaker 9 (03:05):
So the Price is right Now.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
The Price Is Right became one of the few game
shows to survive the rigging scandals of the late fifties,
and it gained even more popularity after other game shows
exposed for being rigged had been canceled. Now Goodson Todman
did a great job of keeping the show squeaky cleaned,
sometimes even more so than the game shows today. But

(03:32):
they still it was a wonderful program. There was no rigging,
and it was fun, and you had somebody like Bill
Cullen who made it even more fun. Well, the show
ended its run in nineteen sixty five. Now you're going
wait a minute, it's still around. No, the version that's
going today began in nineteen seventy two, its current incarnation

(03:58):
with iconic host Bob Barker and later Drew Carrey. Of course,
a lot of people forget that there was another host
in their Dennis James, who did a wonderful job as well.
The Price is Right. Going back almost seventy years now,
Vietnam of war on this date in nineteen sixty eight,

(04:19):
Air Force helicopter pilot James V. Fleming rescued an Army
Special Forces unit pinned down by viet Cong fire. He
was later awarded the Medal of Honor. President Nixon moved
to end the draft on this date in nineteen seventy
and continuing to move toward a total volunteer military.

Speaker 10 (04:38):
Looking for the future, well, this measure will remove a
great number of the inequities, and particularly remove the uncertainty
to which I referred. We shall not be satisfied until
we finally can have the system which I advocated during
the campaign, of a completely volunteer armed force. We cannot

(04:58):
move to that now because the requirements for our armed services.
That is, however, our element.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Goal and the goal of an all volunteer military has
been achieved. Sadly, we have lost something in the people
having that need to serve their country, and we have
a lot of people who believe the opposite of those
infamous words from John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Ask not what your

(05:27):
country can do for you, ask what you can do
for your country. People think their country needs to do
for them, not the other way.

Speaker 11 (05:36):
Around.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Nineteen seventy five, Squeaky from was found guilty of attempting
to kill President Ford.

Speaker 12 (05:44):
The jury of eight women at four men as far
Ronett Alis Pohm guilty of the primary charge of attempting
to assassinate President Ford here in Sacramento on September fifth.
This pom was not in the courtroom as the Jordan
announced the verdict. She had been in a few minutes
before the judge that she was not going to participate
in the trial, but that she might have some statement

(06:04):
to make to the judge later the jury was pulled
by the defense. Each juror answered and allowed yes when
asked if that verdict was the one they had found.
Whenette from guilty as charged, Tom Shell, ABC News Sacramento, Rum.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Was released on parole from Federal Medical Center Carswell on
those fourteenth, two thousand and nine. President Reagan announced the
members of what would become known as the Tower Commission
on this date. In nineteen eighty six.

Speaker 13 (06:33):
Looking to the future, I will appoint a Special Review
Board to conduct a comprehensive review of the role and
procedures of the National Security Council staff in the conduct
of foreign and national security policy. I anticipate receiving the
reports from the Attorney General and the Special Review Board
at the earliest possible date. Upon the completion of these reports,

(06:56):
I will share their findings and conclusions with the Congress
and the American people.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Audio courtesy of the Reagan Library. On this date in
nineteen ninety, the Delta two rocket made its maiden plight
two twenty five years ago to day. George W. Bush
certified the winner, applored as electoral vote by Catherine Harris,
going on to win the US presidential election despite losing
in the national popular vote. Concord made its final flight

(07:24):
over Bristol, England in two thousand and three. Two thousand
and eight tons of heavily armed gunman storm luxury hotels,
a popular tourist attraction, and a crowded train station in Mumbai, India,
leaving at least one hundred and sixty six people dead
in a rampage lasting some sixty hours. Alex Chamberlain, who
managed to escape, having dinner at one of the hotels

(07:46):
when the attackers burst in.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
Gunman told us to go the stairs up the fire
escape stairs, told everyone to put the hands up, and
said where are you from? Are there any British or
Americans here?

Speaker 5 (07:57):
We had a friend who would go on the radio,
but wrote US a large number of reports from Mumbai
and we broadcast them over our at the time, our
National Morning Show. It was frightening, to say the least

(08:19):
of all that that was going on now. It was
on this date in twenty eleven, fourteen years ago, NASA's
Curiosity rover blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on
an eight and a half month, three hundred and fifty
four million mile flight to Mars. Mars Rover Project sciatist
John Gratzinger predicted big things from Curiosity.

Speaker 10 (08:41):
I think this mission will be a great one. It
is an important next step and NASA's overall goal to
address the issue of life in the universe.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Curiosity, still operating well, passed its original two year mission,
passing away on this date. In his abolitionist Sojourner, Truth
band leader Tommy Dorsey, Doughnut entrepreneur Verne Winchell, children's author
Stanley Berenstein, Tricksy, and the original honeymooners Jane Keen and

(09:14):
composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. Among people born on this
date who are no longer with us include Eric Severide.

Speaker 14 (09:22):
In the end, of course, it is not one's employers
or colleagues that sustain one quite so much as the
listening public when it be so minded. And I have
found that it applies only one consistent test, not agreement
with one on substance, but the perception of honesty and
fair intent. There is in the American people a tough,
undiminished instinct for what is fair, rightly or wrongly. I

(09:44):
have the feeling that I have passed that test. I
shall wear this like a metal. Millions have listened intently
and indifferently, in agreement and in powerful disagreement. Tens of
thousands have written their thoughts to me. I will feel
always that I stand in their mids. This was Eric
SEVERRVEE in Washington.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
Thank you and goodbye.

Speaker 5 (10:05):

Rated PG parental guidance suggested.

Let's go back seventy two years November twenty sixth, nineteen
fifty three for an episode of Father Knows Best as
Thanksgiving Day rolls into the Anderson House.

Speaker 1 (14:31):

Cereal, remember you post brand flakes give your family all
the important keep regular benefits of brand in a cereal

people than any other brand flakes. They're wonderful for breakfast, lunch,
or in between meals. So get Post brand flakes this weekend.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
They're good and so good for you.

Speaker 20 (15:39):
Deep high the board with plenteous cheer, and gather to
the feasts and toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage
never cease. You know, the Pilgrims started the custom of Thanksgiving,
But there are others whose trials and tribulations on an
average Thanksgiving day bare inspection and a certain amount of sympathy.
Take for example, the Andersons who live in Springfield and
a white frame house on Maples. They count their blessings

(16:01):
and give their thanks, But with three children in the house,
even a simple rite like Thanksgiving can be a pretty
complicated affair.

Speaker 21 (16:09):
Like this, Mother, we're in the den, Betty Is.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
It all right if I bar your ear rings?

Speaker 9 (16:16):
Betty? If you have anything to ask your mother, come
down here and ask her.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Jump in creepers.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Sounds like she was reared in the barn.

Speaker 9 (16:24):
Stands up there screaming her head off every Jim.

Speaker 18 (16:27):
Kathy is waiting to read her poem.

Speaker 9 (16:29):
Oh, I'm sorry, Kathy.

Speaker 18 (16:32):
Go ahead, Yes, Daddy, go ahead, dear.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Well, now what are you waiting for?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I have to be introduced.

Speaker 9 (16:41):
Oh, pardon me, ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the competition.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
In the fourth grade, Miss Kathleen Anderson. Is that better?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now you have to flow?

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Okay, we applaud.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Thank you?

Speaker 9 (16:56):
What a ham has to get her applause before she
reads the poem. Jim doesn't want to take any chances.

Speaker 18 (17:02):
All right, dear, anytime you're ready?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yes, mommy Thanksgiving Day, My Kathleen Joy Anderson, fourth grade
Thanksgiving is a minute?

Speaker 9 (17:13):
What was that name?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
The name?

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Your name?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Say it again, Kathleen Joy Anderson.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
Where did the joy come from? Your name is Kathleen
Louise Anderson?

Speaker 1 (17:24):
But I don't like Louise.

Speaker 9 (17:27):
You what?

Speaker 18 (17:28):
Oh, Jim, Kathy and I talked it all about.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
My mother's name is Louise. And if it's good enough
for my mother, it's good enough for her.

Speaker 18 (17:36):
It's only a middle name, dear, And if she doesn't.

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Like it, why shouldn't she like it? What's wrong with it?

Speaker 18 (17:41):
Nothing, Jim. But it's her name.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
You're darn right, it's her name. She's not going to
change it.

Speaker 18 (17:46):
I'll go ahead, Mommy, go ahead, dear, gee wiz.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
My grandmother and her mother were named Louise.

Speaker 9 (17:53):
And there's no reason why she should want to change it. Well,
what read the poem, Yes.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Daddy, Thanksgiving Day by Kathleen Louise Anderson.

Speaker 9 (18:08):
That's more like him.

Speaker 18 (18:09):
Fourth great, it's much better, Jim, Please all right, Kathy.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Thanksgiving is a lucky day for all the girls and boys.
It isn't just like Christmas when your parents give you toys.
It isn't even like Easter when you get an Easter bunny,
or even like your birthday when your uncle sends your money.

Speaker 22 (18:28):
What, Jim, when did her uncle ever send her money
or anything else? Oh, Kathy, she's almost nine years old
and he's never sent her a button, gives her money.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
He's so tidy he can't even sit down.

Speaker 18 (18:47):
Jim Anderson, I know you don't like him, but he's
been very good to my sister. And if Kathy needs him.

Speaker 9 (18:52):
For her Haanta clause and the Easter Bunny and your
brother in law boy, is that a combination?

Speaker 18 (18:59):
Go ahead, said Kathleen, Yes, mommy.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Thanksgiving Day by Kathy.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
No, not from the beginning, Kathy, Start where you left off.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I don't remember where I was.

Speaker 9 (19:10):
Your uncle was giving you money. Oh, that's something we
can all remember. Yes, Daddy, this isn't a poem. It's
a fairy tale. Jim.

Speaker 18 (19:19):
If you say one more word, I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
Go ahead, Kathy?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Is it all right if I start up near Christmas?

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Start anywhere you like, but start.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Okay? Thanksgiving Day by Kathleen Louise Anderson, fourth grade. Thanksgiving
is a lucky day for all the girls and boys.
It isn't just like Christmas when your parents give you toys.
It isn't even like Easter when you're getting Easter Bunny,

(19:51):
or even like your birthday when your uncle gives you money.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I didn't say a word.

Speaker 18 (20:00):
Go ahead, dear.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
It isn't like the fourth of July or Decoration Day,
or summer vacation or Halloween.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
RAPHI, when are you going to stop telling us what
it isn't like and tell us what it is like.

Speaker 18 (20:13):
How can she when you keep interrupting?

Speaker 9 (20:15):
Well, it's supposed to be a poem about Thanksgiving, isn't it?
And what if she said it isn't like Christmas? It
isn't like the fourth of July? Who said it was?

Speaker 18 (20:24):
Jim? The poem has already won the contest. We're just
supposed to listen. But as long as we're just supposed
to listen, go ahead, dear.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You mean from the beginning.

Speaker 9 (20:38):
No, no, no, start after that funny part where your
uncle gives you money.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay, It isn't like the fourth of July or Decoration
Day or summer vacation or Halloween when all the kids
can play.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
No good grief scare a man half out of his wits,
all right, if I.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Borrow your earrings.

Speaker 18 (21:01):
Look what you've done? Ashes all over the phone.

Speaker 9 (21:03):
I'll clean it up, Margaret, don't worry about it. What happened,
Nothing happened. I knocked over the ashtray. That's all.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Go ahead, Kathy, Thanksgiving is a different day. Excuse me, Kathy,
I have to speak to mother.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
Let her finish the poem.

Speaker 23 (21:17):
Betty father, I told you, Niggott, i'd be there early.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
She's counting on me. You don't have to read a
poem over the radio.

Speaker 23 (21:25):
Oh no, you mean she's gonna read that horrible thing
in public, Betty.

Speaker 18 (21:31):
It's a very nice poem, considering.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Thanksgiving is a lucky day. I didn't see you winning
any free turkey dinner, so.

Speaker 23 (21:40):
I didn't have to. The Liggats are gonna have three turkeys.

Speaker 9 (21:43):
Wait a minute, the way you kids talk, you'd think
we never had a turkey in this house.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Jim, I got a good mind to keep you all home.

Speaker 18 (21:51):
Father, Jim, it isn't a question of turkey. Kathy's principal told.

Speaker 9 (21:56):
Why couldn't they have their dinner some other day?

Speaker 18 (21:58):
But Thanksgiving dinner was the prize, dear, for all eight grades.
It's become a major event.

Speaker 9 (22:03):
In the Leggots if somebody look cross eyed, Janie Niggett
has a party. Father, you said, I know what I said,
And it'll be a relief to get you all out
of the house. Your mother won't have to spend all
day cooking at dinner. You'll wolf down in twenty minutes.

Speaker 18 (22:17):
Jim.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
We'll have a little piece around here even if it
is Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Thanksgiving is a different day, the day I like best, Kathy.
I haven't asked about the ear ring.

Speaker 18 (22:30):
Which earrings, Betty? The ones with the rhinestones, Oh, dear,
those are much too old for you.

Speaker 23 (22:35):
No they aren't, mother, really they aren't.

Speaker 24 (22:37):
Thanksgiving is a different Kathy, Betty.

Speaker 9 (22:42):
If your mother says they're too old for you, but
they aren't.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Father, I tried them all.

Speaker 18 (22:46):
Or don't you think something less formal would be more suitable?
But mother, after all, rhinestones in the afternoon not good? Huh,
not good at all? How about the little pearl ones?

Speaker 25 (23:00):
May? I?

Speaker 23 (23:01):
Of course, thank you, mother, You're an angel. Go ahead, Kathy.

Speaker 9 (23:04):
Maybe I want to get the vacuum cleaning. The whole
rug's a mess.

Speaker 18 (23:08):
Just leave it, Jim, I'll clean it later.

Speaker 9 (23:09):
You want to take me a second?

Speaker 18 (23:10):
Jim? All like Kathy?

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Now?

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yes, get it over with please.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Thanksgiving is a different day, the day I like best.
It's even better than Sunday, which is called the day
of rest. Thanksgiving is my favorite day.

Speaker 18 (23:31):
So long everybody, goodbye, dear, have a nice time, Bud.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
What are you doing with my suitcase?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
What? Thanksgiving is my favorite day?

Speaker 9 (23:41):
Come? In here and bring the suitcase.

Speaker 25 (23:43):
Oh gosh, I'm not gonna hurt it.

Speaker 21 (23:46):
Dad.

Speaker 9 (23:46):
Did anybody say you could borrow my suitcase?

Speaker 7 (23:50):
No?

Speaker 9 (23:50):
Dad, Then why are you taking it?

Speaker 25 (23:52):
Well? I have to carry them in something, Harry.

Speaker 26 (23:56):
What the football letters? They're gonna give them out at
the dinner. And the coach said it back where you
got it. But the coach said I could eat with
the team.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
I said, put it back.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Thanksgiving is my favorite day.

Speaker 18 (24:09):
Jimmy isn't going to hurt anything.

Speaker 9 (24:10):
That's not the point. He has no right to take
things without asking for them.

Speaker 25 (24:14):
But you were busy, Dad.

Speaker 26 (24:16):
I tried asking you this morning, Remember, I said, Dad,
And you said you thought it was going to be
wonderful for you and mom. Dad Thanksgiving dinner in a
restaurant for a change. And I said, Dad, And you
said you thought everybody made too much of a fuss
about Thanksgiving anyway, And I said, Dad, and you.

Speaker 25 (24:30):
Said, bade.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Take a suitcase.

Speaker 25 (24:40):

Speaker 9 (25:03):
Just a minute, Kathy, But are you driving downtown with
Joe Phillips.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yes, Ded, Why don't you drop Kathy off at the school?

Speaker 25 (25:09):
Okay, come on.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Kathy, I haven't finished my poem.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Well, why haven't you.

Speaker 9 (25:14):
I haven't heard anything else for the past hour.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I tried to read it, and first you said that
Uncle Rick.

Speaker 25 (25:20):
Come on, Kathy, will you I'm late.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Nobody ever lets me do anything just because I'm the
littlest one in the family.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Kathy, read the poem.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Everybody thinks they can pick on Kathy.

Speaker 18 (25:32):
Thanksgiving is my favorite day, Dear. That's where you left off.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
And they don't have any right to. Thanksgiving is my
favorite day, though the skies are gray and murky, because
that's the day when I get to eat the drumstick
of a turkey. Well that's the end.

Speaker 18 (25:55):
Some poem, Bud. It's a very lovely poem, Kathy.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Thank you, Murmy.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
You mean that won the competition, Jim, Well, I'm not surprised.
It's very good. A little sentimental, perhaps, but very good.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Thank you Daddy.

Speaker 25 (26:14):
Get your coat, Kathy, and let's go.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Mister Bryant said he'd bring me home. Murmy.

Speaker 18 (26:19):
That's fine, dear.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
And don't forget to listen to the broadcast.

Speaker 9 (26:22):
We won't and behave yourself. Come on, will you stop
pulling me?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Why do you always have to pull me?

Speaker 25 (26:28):
Nice to the suitcase?

Speaker 9 (26:29):
Dad, I have a nice time, Bud, you too, Kathy.

Speaker 18 (26:31):
Hye, be a good girl, Kathleen, I will long goodbye, Dear. Well,
I'm completely exhausted. I don't know where they get all that.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
Energy, Margaret. Did she really win the competition with that poem?

Speaker 18 (26:48):
She's only in the fourth grade, Jim, that's very good
for the fourth grade.

Speaker 9 (26:52):
I was nine.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I could write poems like that standing on my head.

Speaker 18 (26:57):
Well, if you've ever seen Kathy study, you know that's
probably the way she wrote it.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Margaret.

Speaker 9 (27:07):
Yes, dear, have you noticed how quiet it is? Yes, dear,
hasn't been this quiet for weeks, has it?

Speaker 18 (27:16):
No, Dear?

Speaker 9 (27:17):
It does you good to get away from the kids
for a while. Gives you a chance to relax, take
things easy, read your paper and things, Yes, dear. Get
the kids out of the house makes all the difference
in the world. Get a little peace and quiet, don't you, Yes, dear,
All that excitement and shouting and running up and down

(27:39):
the stairs absolutely unnecessary, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (27:43):
I suppose so, Dear Margaret, Yes, dear I'm lonesome, Yes, dear.

Speaker 27 (28:04):
Hi there, this is Jerry Marshall. Say it wouldn't a
steaming cup of coffee hit the spot right about now?
You bet it would? And you know you can have
that cup of coffee. Yes, even if coffee usually keeps
you awake, you can have your coffee and still sleep
tonight if you make it a cup of instant Sanka coffee.
You see, it's not the coffee itself that keeps you awake.

(28:26):
It's the caffeine in coffee. But ninety seven percent of
the caffeine has been taken out of instant Sanka, so
you can enjoy a cup now or an hour from
now and not lose one wink of RESTful sleep. And
Instant Sanka is all pure coffee, you know, one hundred
percent pure coffee with a wonderfully rich and satisfying flavor.

(28:48):
So if you don't have Instant Sanka coffee on hand,
add it to tomorrow shopping list, get the large, economy
sized jar and save money. You will like instant sank
As and you'll love the way it lets you sleep.

Speaker 9 (29:21):
That was very good, Barbara, very good.

Speaker 20 (29:23):
Indeed, now our next winner is a rugget individualist.

Speaker 25 (29:27):
Indeed, Jimmy's Kathy in.

Speaker 20 (29:29):
She put her thoughts on Thanksgiving into verse and now
lead the poem which won for her the competition in
the fourth grade, Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Kathleen Andres Kathy's.

Speaker 9 (29:40):
Started japs in the car.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Well, I just wanted to know.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Thanksgiving Day by Kathleen's joy Louise Anderson, fourth grade, Thanksgiving
is a lucky day for all the girls and boys.
It isn't like Christmas when your parents give you toys.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Well, why doesn't she go on?

Speaker 9 (30:09):
Jim Please go ahead, Kathleen. She doesn't have to remember anything.
She's got it right in front of her.

Speaker 18 (30:14):
Dere. She's probably very nervous or she can.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Read, can't she?

Speaker 28 (30:17):
Kathleen, we're waiting.

Speaker 21 (30:19):
I don't want to go home.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Guy's not what's gotten into her?

Speaker 18 (30:22):
Oh, poor little thing.

Speaker 9 (30:26):
Miss Anderson just remembered a previous engagement.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
But perhaps that we'll have.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
Fender luck with our next little guests. The winner of
the competition in the fifth gray you see Margaret, I
told you she shouldn't have gone.

Speaker 18 (30:38):
My poor baby, I've.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Never heard anything like that in my entire life.

Speaker 9 (30:42):
She was frightened, Jim, that's all, frightened of what. You
can't shut her up when she's in the house, but
as soon as she's supposed to talk, she makes an
oyster sound like Martin and Lewis. I tell you, Margaret, Yes.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Jim, do you think we ought to go down and
get her?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (31:00):
I don't think so.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
Four kids probably crying her heart out.

Speaker 18 (31:04):
She'll get over it. And don't forget they promised her too, drumsticks.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (31:08):
She didn't sound very hungry.

Speaker 18 (31:12):
Do I what you promised me a Thanksgiving dinner at
the townhouse?

Speaker 25 (31:16):
Remember?

Speaker 9 (31:17):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Yes I did, didn't.

Speaker 18 (31:19):
I I'll get my hat and coat? Or would you
rather have me sue you for breach of promise?

Speaker 9 (31:25):
Ugh, Margaret, Jim.

Speaker 18 (31:28):
There isn't anything wrong, is there?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (31:30):
No, everything's fine. It's just that whoa. Yes, I've been
doing a lot of thinking. And would you mind very
much if we didn't go out?

Speaker 18 (31:42):
Why cheer?

Speaker 9 (31:43):
I know I promised you dinner, but well I I'd
just rather eat here.

Speaker 18 (31:48):
There isn't anything too, sure there is.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
There's a whole heap of hamburger in the icebox.

Speaker 18 (31:53):
Hamburger on Thanksgiving Day, Margaret.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
To tell you the absolute truth, this doesn't seem much
like Thanksgiving, not.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Like the kind of Thanksgiving we used to know.

Speaker 18 (32:03):
Well, it's finally happened after only eighteen years. You're tired
of me, You know what I mean, don't you, Honey?
I think so, dear.

Speaker 9 (32:15):
Thanksgiving has always been a special sort of day for me,
even when I was a boy. It was more than
just a holiday. It was a time when the whole
family got together and had fun. We used to go
out into the country to my grandmother's.

Speaker 18 (32:28):
We did too, to my grandmother's.

Speaker 9 (32:30):
I mean, the whole family used to be there, my
uncle Rob and his wife and their eight children, and
my uncle Will and his wife and their ten children.

Speaker 18 (32:39):
That must have been cozy.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Oh, it was. We ate in shifts.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
My grandmother always swore she was feeding half of the
neighbor's kids. But it was fun.

Speaker 18 (32:50):
Did you play games after dinner?

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Oh heck no, we were so stuffed we couldn't move.

Speaker 18 (32:55):
Ah, you were a bunch of sissies. We used to
play going to Jerusalem or chairs or charades.

Speaker 9 (33:02):
That's pretty hard to do with just two people, isn't it. Jim?

Speaker 18 (33:07):
There's one thing we mustn't forget. This is a new generation.
It's a different sort of generation, with new ideas and
a new sense of values.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
Times have changed, used they have. Let's go into the
kitchen and see what we can throw together.

Speaker 18 (33:25):
You're an old sentimentalist, Jim Anderson, that's what you are.
And I love you.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
I love you too.

Speaker 9 (33:33):
You know, maybe if the kids get home early, we
can all go to a movie or something. How'd you
like that?

Speaker 18 (33:37):
I wouldn't count on it, Dear, Betty said not to
expect her before midnight, and Bud's dinner won't start till six.

Speaker 9 (33:43):
Well, Kathy isn't going to stay out all night, is she?

Speaker 25 (33:46):
No?

Speaker 9 (33:46):
Okay, then we'll take Kathy to the movies.

Speaker 18 (33:48):
Well we'll see, Dear, it all depends on Bud.

Speaker 25 (33:53):
Are your mom? Dad?

Speaker 9 (33:54):
What are you doing here fixing a hamburger?

Speaker 6 (33:57):
One?

Speaker 25 (33:57):
One?

Speaker 9 (33:58):
Well, what happened to the dinner? What dinner at the
training table with a football team?

Speaker 25 (34:04):
Oh? That dinner?

Speaker 9 (34:07):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 25 (34:10):
I guess I just wasn't hungry.

Speaker 9 (34:13):
Weren't hungry?

Speaker 18 (34:14):
You Jim, I'm going to call doctor Sinne.

Speaker 9 (34:18):
Wait a minute, Margaret, But if you aren't hungry, why
the hamburger?

Speaker 25 (34:24):
The hamburger?

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Pardon me? The three hamburgers?

Speaker 26 (34:28):
Oh well, I guess I got hungry.

Speaker 18 (34:33):
But if you don't feel well, please tell us.

Speaker 25 (34:35):
But I do feel well, Mama, I feel fine.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Look if you don't want to tell us the truth, but.

Speaker 25 (34:40):
I am telling you the truth. I didn't like the dinner.

Speaker 26 (34:42):
That's all A bunch of big goofs sitting around talking
about football.

Speaker 25 (34:46):
What good is that?

Speaker 18 (34:47):
Since? When don't you like to talk about football?

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Was the second?

Speaker 9 (34:50):
Honey, Kathy, it's me father?

Speaker 25 (34:55):
What's she doing home?

Speaker 18 (34:56):
What on earth?

Speaker 9 (34:57):
We're in the kitchen?

Speaker 28 (34:58):
Batty?

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Right?

Speaker 18 (35:00):
Oh dear, just when everything was going so well.

Speaker 9 (35:03):
Oh Margaret, why do you immediately assume that something is wrong.
Maybe the Leiggas decided not to have a party, or
maybe Betty had the wrong day.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Lots of things could have happened.

Speaker 18 (35:13):
The party was today, I know it was.

Speaker 9 (35:15):
Well, maybe it hasn't started yet.

Speaker 18 (35:17):
What's everybody doing in the kitchen?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Hi, bud?

Speaker 18 (35:20):
What are you doing here?

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Well?

Speaker 25 (35:22):
Nothing much? Want a hamburger?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Okay, never mind the hamburgers? Bud.

Speaker 9 (35:25):
We've got things to discuss that are much more important
than hamburgers.

Speaker 18 (35:35):
Betty, do you feel all right, dear?

Speaker 25 (35:37):
Sure?

Speaker 9 (35:38):
Why you told your mother you wouldn't be home until midnight?

Speaker 25 (35:42):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (35:43):
Well I wasn't going to, but I came up with
the most awful headache.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
Jim, you just said you felt fine.

Speaker 29 (35:52):
I do.

Speaker 21 (35:52):
I mean, well, I do, except for this headache.

Speaker 18 (35:56):
Jim. I'm gonna call him missus Leggatt and ask him
other you know if there was anything wrong? I tell
you I always have, haven't I? Yes, Dear, you.

Speaker 9 (36:05):
Have Kathy, Yes, daddy, we're in the kitchen. Come on in. Yes, Daddy,
you see Margaret. I told you we should have gone
down for her.

Speaker 18 (36:16):
Well, I had no way of nose. It's the matter
with Kathy.

Speaker 25 (36:20):
Oh.

Speaker 9 (36:20):
Your sister reads the first line of her poem and
bursts into tears.

Speaker 18 (36:24):
No kidding, the poor little thing. Hello, ah angel, Hello,
sweet I come on over here and tell you, daddy
all your troubles.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
I don't have any troubles, Daddy, I'm just not happy.

Speaker 9 (36:41):
Well, it isn't anything to cry about, is it.

Speaker 18 (36:44):
It was a lovely poem, darling, even if you didn't read.

Speaker 26 (36:47):
It and don't too worry, not if anybody makes fun
of y'all.

Speaker 25 (36:51):
Pokem rite in the nose.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
But I don't care if they do make fun of me.
I didn't want to read my poem not.

Speaker 18 (36:59):
To Why Kathy, they're your friends, I.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Don't want them. It's Thanksgiving and I wanted my mommy
and my daddy and my sister and my brother.

Speaker 18 (37:12):
I was lonesome, Oh, Kathy Darling.

Speaker 9 (37:17):
She's all right, Margaret, just leave her alone.

Speaker 23 (37:19):
Mother, Yes, Beddy, I was lonesome too.

Speaker 9 (37:26):
Oh no, wait a minute, oh, Jimma, Margaret, not you too?

Speaker 25 (37:35):
Ye me too?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Good grief.

Speaker 9 (37:40):
We sounded like the third act of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
What what's the matter with you, Bud?

Speaker 25 (37:49):
Nothing? I just feel like blowing my nose, that's all.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Well, blow it.

Speaker 9 (38:01):
Now.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Get busy with the hamburgers.

Speaker 9 (38:04):
Okay, Dad, how about a little food for the hungry Anderson's.

Speaker 18 (38:08):
I'm starving hamburgers. That's a fine thing to serve for
Thanksgiving dinner?

Speaker 9 (38:14):
Is it sounds fine to me?

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I don't care what part of the hamburger I get,
as long as it's a drumstick.

Speaker 9 (38:22):
Girl, Kathy, Well, what are we waiting for? Let's sit down?

Speaker 4 (38:25):
And be comfortable.

Speaker 18 (38:27):
I'll take over, budd I'm doing fine, Mom, But really.

Speaker 9 (38:30):
I'd argue with the chef Margaret, just sit down and relax.

Speaker 26 (38:33):
Well, if you insist four hamburgers coming up, that'll take
care of me.

Speaker 18 (38:38):
But what are they going to eat, Betty Margaret kids?

Speaker 9 (38:45):
Before we dig into these juicy Thanksgiving burgers, may I
say something?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Sure?

Speaker 9 (38:52):
This has been I think the happiest Thanksgiving day of
my entire life. If you don't mind, I'd like to
say a special grace, O Lord, we give thanks from
the bottom of our hump of hearts for the blessings
thou hast seen fit to bestow upon us. We thank
THEE for the food that graces our table and the

(39:12):
roof that covers our head. We thank THEE for the
privilege of living as free men in a country which
respects our freedom and our personal rights to worship and
think and speak as we choose. But most of all,
Dear Lord, we thank THEE for making us a family,
for giving us sincerity and understanding. We thank THEE for

(39:34):
giving us the most cherished gift of family may know,
the gift of love for one another.

Speaker 30 (39:42):
I mean, another Thanksgiving very is here and America carries
on the fine cust them started by the pilgrim fathers
of setting aside a special day to give thanks for

(40:04):
the freedoms, the boundies, and the goodness of our land.
Thanksgiving is a happy holiday, a time for family reunion,
family dinners, and today traditional turkeys with all the trimmings,
grace countless dinner tables. Yes, abundant good food is one
of the bodies America is especially thankful for, and the

(40:26):
makers of Post Cereals are proud that their many good
food products have been welcomed into so many homes. You see,
it's a Post Cereal tradition to give you the finest,
most flavorful and healthful cereals possible, and Post forty percent
brand flakes are a wonderful example of their efforts. Post

(40:46):

start enjoying Post brand flakes tomorrow.

It's morning now and in the Anderson Breakfast Nook light

is over, but the Andersons, well, they go on forever
like this.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Why can't I wear lipsticks claudium at you does and
she's only twelve.

Speaker 18 (41:25):
Here's your cereal, dear, thank you?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Well? Well, what well? Why can I.

Speaker 9 (41:31):
Because I said you couldn't eat your breakfast?

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Jeeuis Mark.

Speaker 9 (41:36):
We've got to do something about that boy. He's beginning
to shake the house.

Speaker 18 (41:42):
I'll speak to him, dear.

Speaker 9 (41:43):
If he can't take it easy on the stairs, don't
feed him so much. One of these days is going
to go right through. Hi that morning, mom, Sit down,
eat your breakfast.

Speaker 18 (41:52):
Good morning, dear.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
He didn't say anything to me, Hi, I squired, Good morning, mother.

That's better, Sit down and eat your breakfast.

Speaker 18 (42:20):

You know, Margaret, there's one thing I'm really going to
enjoy about our Thanksgiving.

eating leftover turkey for the next month. Yes, Dear, What

bubble and hubble that I've even designed the style of
my own. My dress will be backless, sideless, seamless, hemless, topless,
leaveless and strapless or what's it called? Good morning, judge.

(47:42):
But I had to get to the bottom of the situation,
so I went to the studio of that great designer
of feminine clothes, Anatoe, and he greeted me very warmly.
Oh my love, ulusion is it bike? He's the cheek hike.
He's the cheek hike, He's the jing Please please, simple hello?

Speaker 32 (48:00):
Will do.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
If these guys one line and they'll run your right
off your own show. But tell me, Anatole, how do
you feel about the new look?

Speaker 34 (48:11):
All the situation is terrible, monsieur, this new style she's
ruining for Anato's the dress business. And to think this
should happen after I've led such an unhappy life. You see,
years ago I walked in France picking olibs all day long.

Speaker 29 (48:26):
I picked dolimes, I stuffed dollimes, I packed ole.

Speaker 28 (48:28):
Ebs, nothing well, all leaves, all lives.

Speaker 34 (48:31):
So I come to America to become a dress designer,
just so I can forget olibs. And who do you
think my first customary Zazu pains?

Speaker 32 (48:46):
But I can't talk any more about it.

Speaker 35 (48:48):
You will have to continue the discussion with my mother
Lah very.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Heavy heavy to help you all, I care, I wonder
I can't it and ssurance I'm living in a hurricane zone.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
You know?

Speaker 36 (49:12):
I think I can help you in your survey about
the new look.

Speaker 24 (49:15):
I've even written a new.

Speaker 36 (49:16):
Song about the new look, which I can hear it.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
No, fine, I think I listen.

Speaker 36 (49:21):
Oh MacDonald had a new look.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
For a new look. Here a new look?

Speaker 25 (49:25):
There he.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Wait a minute, now, stop that vocalizing. Don't you think
my thinking will help you get the new look? I'm
not worried about the new look. Where am I going
to get a new audience? What a dilemmia? Can anyone
give me an opinion on the new look?

Speaker 37 (49:48):
Well, I'm the man on the street, and I've written
a poem about the new look.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
You you have a very intelligent face. Go ahead read
it to me.

Speaker 36 (50:01):
Hi, Here it goes.

Speaker 24 (50:03):
No dresses, cover up the lake, nothing net to show.
So now we get it with you.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
I'm feeling.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I can tell this isn't D. Rannie's day. But folks,
I've had my moments. Yes, I've had my moments. When
I look back through life five times, lots of memories remain.
Certain days stay in my mind and keep running through
my brain. I remember the day that Edily swammed the channel.

Speaker 18 (50:40):
What a flash?

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I remember the Wall Street crash, or when winchilfully shouted flash.
But there's one day that I recall, though it was
years ago, all my life I will remember it. I know,
I'll never forget the day I read a book. It
was contagious, seventy pages. There were pictures here and there,

(51:07):
so it wasn't hard to bear that they I read
a book. It's a shame I don't recall the name
of the book. It wasn't a history, I know, because
it had no pot. It wasn't a mystery because nobody
there got shot. The day I read a book, I
can't remember when, But one of these days I'm gonna

(51:30):
do it again. Why if you walk into my house,
you'll see loads of books, and believe me, they're up
there just for appearances. I press an awful lot of butterflies.
I know, reading this relaxing. What did Napoleon do for relaxation?
He read a book? What did Lincoln do for relaxation?

(51:51):
He read a book? What does Congress do for relaxation?
They book a read? You know, you know, I'm familiar
with all the best sellers. There's the Encyclopedia Britannia Forever Umbriago,
and a new piece of significant liperture, which says a

(52:14):
grit Bete said to angelafa Allah, Molly Shoey, are you
like that? I've been reading the life story of Mumbles?
But I love good reading. Why last week I spent
two solid days in the library. Much to my regret,
I buried my nose in a book. And what happened?
I forgot which book I buried it in? Pastorist. True,

(52:37):
it wasn't a history, I know, because it had no plot.
It wasn't a mystery because nobody there got shopped in
one day I read a book. I can't remember when.
But one of these days I'm going to do it again, Yes, sir,
one of these days, I'm going to do it again.

Speaker 38 (53:02):

pure when.

Speaker 33 (54:12):
Tell friends, Jimmy has been fattening up a turkey in
his backyard for Thanksgiving, but while he was away after
Treacher has been selling raffle tickets on the turkey, and
Treacher doesn't want him to find out because he'd take
it back, and then Treacher wouldn't have the turkey, which
he really didn't have to begin with.

Speaker 28 (54:27):
I'm so happy our show has a plot this week.

Speaker 4 (54:32):
Well let's see what happens.

Speaker 39 (54:34):
Oh, I say, mister Durantis, and I was looking for you.
Would you care to buy a raffle ticket.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
On a turkey A Treacher, I already have a turkey.

Speaker 39 (54:40):
Yes, I've seen it, sir, and I think you'd be
better off to eat it while listening to the Rose
Bowl game on you years.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
He looks to me like a usc turkey. A usc turkey, Yes,
a very tough backfield. That's my tall boy who said that.

Speaker 7 (55:00):
Well, I think you.

Speaker 35 (55:01):
Should buy a ticket.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Sir, Have you ever won a turkey raffle? Well that
the last one I attended, I had number six three
four seven nine five eight four three seven seven six two,
But the follow next to me had number eight four
nine five seven tree five five eight seven sixty six
four five. So just for luck, I said, I'll trade
you my sixth tree four seven nine five eight four
three seven seven six two for your eight four nine

(55:23):
five seven tree five five eight seven sixty three four five.
So he gave me eight four nine five seven three
five five eight seven sin three four five for my
sixth tree four seven.

Speaker 24 (55:33):
Nine five eight four seven seven six two.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Lucky number will answer the judges brother in law with
number six. But come on, treacher, let's go in the
backyard and get the turkey ready for tomorrow's festivity. Well,
you know what I think you should consider carefully before
doing away with that bird. Once I had a pet turkey,

(55:59):
and after I cut his head off. I was filled
with remorse. Only quick thinking save the situation. If you're
already cut off the bird's head, what could save the situation?

Speaker 28 (56:08):
Well?

Speaker 39 (56:09):
I rushed into the nearest pub, sent him on the counter,
and said, bartender, put a head on this horse. Oh,
I say, I got a million, You got a million?
Why did you have to pick on that one? But
let's forget your raffle, treacher.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Come on out in the backyard and take a look
at my tychy, your turkey, sir, Oh, if you only knew, ah,
that's my tykey. Won't he look nice on the table.
This turkey isn't stuffed, he's loaded. I don't know. Maybe

(56:49):
we should have something else for Thanksgiving dinner. Why, sir,
he kissed you? Why not? Anything with a beak like
that has gotta be on my side, But simply ain't
gonna get in my way. Treat it. Get that boy
to the chopping black listen.

Speaker 7 (57:09):
I feel it's a confession.

Speaker 39 (57:10):
I must make you see your turkey is the one
I'm rattling off and someone has already wonted, sir.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
A cataste stroupe. Why you won't get my turkey, treacher,
he's my tanks, stiff and dinner.

Speaker 39 (57:22):
Oh looks the look he's flying over the fence.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Why that's why? That's not a turkey at Hilda, God
treat a do so. But don't get excited, sir. There's
our turkey coming back up.

Speaker 39 (57:48):
The walk now, and there's a man with him.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Why it's Victim, are.

Speaker 28 (58:04):
Jimmy?

Speaker 29 (58:04):
Isn't it true that on Thanksgiving people are supposed to
eat turkey?

Speaker 2 (58:09):
That's right, Victor.

Speaker 29 (58:10):
Yeah, I told you you're crazy. Turkey Now like on
my leg.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Let's go on that leg turkey. That's Victim all, not
Dorothy lah.

Speaker 29 (58:22):
Well, Jimmy o'pell. I guess I won the turkey rapple.
Here's the winning ticket, number eight eight eight. Gosh, I'm
crazy about eights. They're so feminine looking.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
I better have a talk with this boy. He's beginning
to notice things.

Speaker 29 (58:39):
Yeah, well, okay, wrap up the turkey.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Now, wait a minute, Victor, this happens to be Mike Turkey.

Speaker 29 (58:44):
Oh no, I wanted Farren square. I'm eating this turkey.
You stay out of this, your beast. Now, look, Jimmy,
I don't want any arguments. I'm awfully tired you are. Yeah,
I've been breathing. Oh day.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
You know, if it's too much of a strength being,
do what I do. Close one nostril for the season treaty,
explain the mister Moore about the turkey.

Speaker 39 (59:17):
But I'm sorry, mister more, but this particular turkey belongs
to mister Durante.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
However, here is your first prize in the turkey raffle.

Speaker 29 (59:24):
An What am I supposed to do with this egg?

Speaker 39 (59:27):
We'll sit on it long enough, and you've got short turkey.

Speaker 29 (59:31):
Nothing doing. I added a turkey raffle, not a maternity contract.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Victor, You'll go down on history as the first turkey sitter.
Besides me, I've got a leaf for one of the musicians.
Besides Victor, I can't get another turkey. I can't get
another turkey before Thanksgiving. But I know you can. You're
a big man in this town. I am sure You've
got a lot of drag around here, a lot of pull.

Speaker 29 (59:59):
Well, and I've got to drag around. I need a
lot of pork. But I don't think you're gonna talk
me out of this turkey with flattery.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
You all right, Victor, Our friendship is too great to
be shattered by such a trivial inconsequentaility. So why accreation inffurtable?
How embarrassing? Even the turkey knows I said it wrong.
Follow your script, Turkey, you come in later. But Victor,
I got the solution. You have Thanksgiving dinner with me tomorrow.

Speaker 29 (01:00:31):
Oh peache.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Now take that turkey out in the backyard and give it.

Speaker 29 (01:00:34):
The axe me. Why do I have to do it?
Why can't you knock a beast off?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
I couldn't. I'm just a softy. But you, Victor, I
can tell by just looking in your eyes that you're strong,
red blooded and fearless.

Speaker 29 (01:00:47):
You sure you're looking in my eyes? That's the turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
I'm over here, Victor, Victor, there's no other solution. You've
got to go through with it.

Speaker 29 (01:00:57):
Okay, give me the hassid. Now where is it?

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
He just locked himself in the garage.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Friend.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Here are those foremost Brexil reminders for the week.

Speaker 33 (01:11:56):
Remember twenty five percent of America buys it's drug needs
in rex Al drug stores. Remember rex Aw is that
large and respected family of more than two thousand different
drug products. Remember you can always depend on any drug
product bearing the name rex Al. Remember rex All drug
products are available in rex Al drug stores everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Touche Howard, And I'd like to add I do my
shopping at a rex allt store buying rex All drugs
and the more umbriago he prefers them to, we buy resaw.
That's all, how about you? Thanks Victimore, Thanks Victimore for

(01:12:40):
coming over the night. Next week, folks, Charles Boyer is
gonna be our guest, and what a team we're gonna
be for the ladies. What he lacks, I haven't got either.
Before we close, we're gonna get a little little load
down in one of the big football games this week
from Tommy Harmon, famous player of the Los Angeles Rams. Tommy,

(01:13:00):
tell us what goes with the football situation this week? Well, Jimmy,
there are great many top football games this week, such
as Texas versus Texas A and M Georgia versus Georgia
Tech and Southern Methodists versus Texas Christian. But our rex
All spotlight this week shifts with the eyes of the
nation to Philadelphia for one of the sport's grandest spectacles
takes place. I'm referring to the always great football Classic
between Army and Navy. To those of you who are

(01:13:23):
fortunate enough to see last year's game, you will probably
never forget how valiant Navy team fought one of the
Army's greatest elevens to a standstill and almost cause the
upset of the year. Army won the game twenty one
to eighteen, but as the gun sounded, Navy was driving
inside Army's five yard line. This year, the game will
not have the outstanding name stars it has had in
the past, but the game will be just as fierce

(01:13:44):
as previous ones in the spirit of competition. I happen
to see Navy play once this fall, and although they
have a fighting eleven, I don't think that the Midies
can turn the trick against the superior Army team once again.
I think the strains of a brave old Army team
will echo through the streets of Philadelphia come sundown next Saturday.
Good night, Peggy Lee, see you next week, and good

(01:14:08):
night missus Calabash. This program was produced and directed by
Phil Khaan.

Speaker 32 (01:14:13):
Good health to all wrecked.

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
Off well and it was quite an Army Navy game.
On November twenty ninth, nineteen forty seven, one hundred and
three thousand fans attended that game, the most attended in
the rival Reese history. Army beat maybe twenty one nothing.
Army entered the contest unbeaten, having only a tie to

(01:14:37):
Notre Dame as a blemish on its record. Navy had
won its opening game and lost all the rest. Army's
victory highlighted by a record setting ninety two yard touchdown
run by Rit Bowen. The Cadet scored a touchdown in
each of the first three quarters. That's something else and
among those attending Secretary of the Navy James Forrestahl and

(01:15:01):
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimmos, And it was broadcast on
TV for the first time, though only in selected areas
including New York, Philly and Schenectady. A TV special titled
nineteen forty seven Army Navy Game later produced, featuring commentary
by Bob Stanton and Colonel ed Red Black.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
There you have it, the.

Speaker 5 (01:15:24):

I'm a senior clerk at the Downstate Medical Center. Part
of my life just is getting up and going to
work and performing certain functions on my job. I look
at the NFB in the same respect that there's a
commitment and an obligation that to be able to give
of yourself and to know that somewhere it will help others,
and perhaps in turn that someone else who gives a

(01:18:52):
little may in some way eventually help you, and when
it all comes together, it can produce something you know,
very good, very big, for the benefit of everyone.

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
Now on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox, we go
to Wistful Vista seventy nine to be precise and see
what's going on in the household of Fiber McGee and Molly.
This episode goes back eighty five years to November twenty sixth,
nineteen forty.

Speaker 44 (01:19:39):
The Johnson Wax Program. The makers of Johnson's Wax and
Johnson's Self Polishing Blowcoat present Fiber McGee and Mally. Written
by Don Quinn with music by The King's Men and
Billy Mills Orchestra. The show opens with don't hold everything.

(01:20:22):
Next time you go shopping, stop a moment just before
you're ready to pay your bill and ask yourself, haven't
I forgotten anything? Isn't there something that comes in a
red and yellow package that I was going to buy?

Speaker 29 (01:20:32):
Oh?

Speaker 44 (01:20:32):
Yes, Johnson's self Polishing blow cooat. That's better. It would
really be too bad not to have glow coat in
the house. Imagine going back to the tiresome, backbreaking job
of floor scrubbing. Makes you tired to think of it,
doesn't it? Seriously, it would be bad, bad for you
and bad for your linoleum because continual scrubbing ruins linoleum.
Blow Coat, on the other hand, protects linoleum, protect it

(01:20:55):
against scratches, wear and dirt, protects it with a hard,
beautiful polish that keeps the fresh and bright. Johnson's glow
code is called self polishing because it needs no rubbing
or buffing, Just apply and let dry. If you aren't
already a glow code user, try just once, won't you?

(01:21:35):
If you'll remember last week, Fiber and Molly took the
train down to visit Uncle Dennis, only to find that
Uncle Dennis had taken the train up to see them.
Oh you don't remember that, Well then it's a good
thing I told you, because here, just opening the front
door of seventy nine Wistful Vista, after a week away
from home, we find Fiber McGhee and Molly. Hey, look

(01:22:08):
at this living room.

Speaker 24 (01:22:09):
Heavenly days? What's been going on in here?

Speaker 35 (01:22:12):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
What a mess?

Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
Cigar butts, poker chips, empty glasses, dirty dishes, cold bucket
tipped over and half a sandwich here?

Speaker 21 (01:22:21):
Look?

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
Hey, do you suppose there's been a tramp in here?

Speaker 24 (01:22:24):
Let me see that sandwich? Huh hah rye bread, liver, sausage,
ferm youw onion, peanut butter, sardines and grape jelly?

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
What no whipped cream, niggie, There's.

Speaker 24 (01:22:41):
Only one person in the world who would concoct a
sandwich like that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Molly, you mean yes, Uncle.

Speaker 24 (01:22:47):
Dennis has been here.

Speaker 32 (01:22:49):
Why did he have to leave?

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
The place in such a mess as this look at.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
It looks like the tank corps held a dance in
here and forgot to get out of their tanks.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
Didn't he ever live in a house before?

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:23:01):
Now take it easy, dear, he take it easy. I
will admit Uncle Dennis gets a little primitive sometimes. After all,
he's part Indian.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
You know, yeah, I know you can tell about those
high hip bones you mean, high cheekbones. When I get
through kicking him around, his hip bones will be highing
his cheekbone. That big so and so has been hanging
around here, we won't have a friend left in the
whole neighborhood.

Speaker 29 (01:23:24):
Molly.

Speaker 24 (01:23:24):
Oh, now, McGee, you take Uncle Dennis too seriously. Personally,
I'm very fond of him. And now don't forget he
gave me away when we were married, Molly.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
I don't want to bust any illusion for you. But
he didn't give you away. He sold you.

Speaker 24 (01:23:46):
What do you mean he sold me?

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
He waited till the organ started to play and then
says to me he wouldn't go through with it unless
I loaned him twenty five dollars. Chus, I didn't want
to spoil the weddings.

Speaker 24 (01:23:57):
See so you paid him the twenty five Oh no
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:24:02):
I finally got him down to nine bucks, and I
must say, Molly, I never regretted it.

Speaker 24 (01:24:10):
Well, thank you, Diddy. I'm always glad when one of
your business ventures turns out.

Speaker 13 (01:24:14):
Well.

Speaker 24 (01:24:16):
Now, come on, help me get this house straightened out. Oh,
I'll answered the phone. You straightened these chairs and things
around me? Seventy nine wistful vister Molly McGee speaking. Who Oh, no,
mister Dennis driscoll is no longer.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Here, Thank goodness.

Speaker 24 (01:24:31):
No, no, he left town for good.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
What's that?

Speaker 24 (01:24:34):
No, never mind, just cancel the order?

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
Ansel the order?

Speaker 7 (01:24:37):
Who's that?

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:24:38):
Some florist, I guess. Oh he wanted to know if
Uncle Dennis wanted these usual four rows is sent over today.

Speaker 6 (01:24:53):
He may love flowers, but he's got a grudge against education.
There's three dead teachers in the wastebasket. We got five
days work getting his house in order again, and two
years making friends again with the neighbors.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Oh, unto dinners until dinner.

Speaker 37 (01:25:15):
Hi, uncle Dan, Oh, you can't fool me. You're not
Uncle Donna's.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
Thanks Sis.

Speaker 6 (01:25:23):
I never had a finer compliment. Well, what do you
want with the old coup.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
He is not an old coop.

Speaker 37 (01:25:30):
He's a nice man. He told me some dandy stories,
only he didn't finish the last one.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
What story was he telling you?

Speaker 37 (01:25:38):
Jack and the Beanstalk?

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
Jack and the Beanstone? You mean you never heard that
feeble old table before?

Speaker 18 (01:25:45):
Oh?

Speaker 37 (01:25:45):
Sure I did, But not like Uncle Dennis tells her.
I bet you gee, he's super uhh he is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Well, let's have a sample of his literary virtuosity.

Speaker 24 (01:25:55):
Alrighty Hannah, I says, how do you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
Tell about Jack and the bean Stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Well?

Speaker 37 (01:26:02):
Uncle Dennis said that once upon a time there was
a young punk named Jack, and he and his old
lady were practically down to their last box top. Yeah,
and then the old girl came through with a nifty
get him out from under the fachang.

Speaker 6 (01:26:22):
That's sure, Tom's like Uncle Dennis. I'd recognize the sheer
beauty of that prose anyplace one of the narrative, I says,
go on, proceed, I can.

Speaker 37 (01:26:34):
He didn't tell me the rest?

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Can you can you?

Speaker 29 (01:26:37):
Please?

Speaker 9 (01:26:37):
Miss Well?

Speaker 6 (01:26:38):
I don't know if I can approach Uncle Dennis's flashy style,
but I'll take a whirl at it. Okay, on ge
They will be funning well, as I remember, Jack sold
the cow for a handful of Boston Cobby R.

Speaker 32 (01:26:48):
Beans to you, says, beans to you too, mister.

Speaker 6 (01:26:58):
Well sure, his old lady was so burned up she
through the beans out the window, and they grew up
to the stratosphere. Overnight, Jack shinnied up the stalk, knocked
off a giant, and came home with enough gold to
make Fort Knox look like a penny arcade.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
And so they lived solidly after after and all stuff
like that. There, Oh, what's the matter.

Speaker 37 (01:27:14):
Oh, it's okay, mister, But I don't know. Uncle Dennis
gets a lot more personality into it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
I've vet you, Oh he does, does he? Well, I'm
getting tired of hearing that guy's name. And if I
never see his face again, that'll.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Be all right too.

Speaker 24 (01:27:30):
What's the matter with his face?

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
I just don't like it. If I had a face
like his, I wouldn't show it.

Speaker 37 (01:27:36):
Yeah, And he said if he had a show like
you as he couldn't face it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
That that kid gets in my hair. She's too impudent.

Speaker 24 (01:27:53):
That's impudent. The emphastist on the second syllable.

Speaker 7 (01:28:00):
Hello daughter, ho Johnny, where's the kid.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
What kids, you mean the little girl?

Speaker 25 (01:28:04):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:28:05):
No, no, the kid, Denny, my child.

Speaker 24 (01:28:11):
Well, I didn't know you were acquainted with me, uncle Dennis.

Speaker 6 (01:28:14):
I suppose they met in a revolving door and started
going around together.

Speaker 7 (01:28:21):
That takes me back to my childhood.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Johnny, they didn't have revolving doors when you were a child.

Speaker 7 (01:28:26):
No, but they had that joke. And furthermore, that ain't
the way I heard it. The way I heard it,
one feller says the telefeller say, he say.

Speaker 45 (01:28:40):
See where the territory of parlive voted to become our
forty nine state. That's who, says Tetherorfeller. Pretty close contest, Nope,
says the first feller. Them, hula girls knew they could
swing it. Where'd you say Denny was?

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
He's gone home, old timer said he with a glad cry.

Speaker 24 (01:29:08):
What'd you want to see him about? Mister old timer?

Speaker 7 (01:29:11):
No, he was taking me to a taxi dance tonight, daughter,
But I didn't want to go.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Why not?

Speaker 45 (01:29:16):
Don't care for taxi dance? And Johnny credit once and
kept getting my hip pockets caught.

Speaker 7 (01:29:21):
With the door handled.

Speaker 29 (01:29:23):
Need to keep my.

Speaker 24 (01:30:02):
Really, Hey, Molly, you've been all through the house yes,

(01:31:24):
I have, dear And do you know what dear old
uncle Dennis did. He took the rubber plant out of
the dining room and put it in the bed and
covered it up. Ah, he loves plants and flowers.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
You know that wasn't love, that was sympathy. He saw
they were potted too. If he ever comes around here, No, for.

Speaker 24 (01:31:45):
Goodness sakes, now, just because he upset the house a
little is.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
No upset the house. He's just about room the place.
Wore all my clothes and smoked all my cigars, upset all.

Speaker 7 (01:31:54):
Hello, river home, Molly, Hey, Denny, are you here?

Speaker 32 (01:31:58):
Hey?

Speaker 18 (01:31:58):
What is this?

Speaker 7 (01:31:59):
Does everybody?

Speaker 24 (01:32:00):
Uncle Dennis has left? Mister Wilcox, What did you want
to see him about?

Speaker 44 (01:32:03):
Well, he and I were working out some advertising slogans.
He'd have made a great advertising man.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Da made a great advertising man.

Speaker 6 (01:32:10):
Sick, What golden haired little brain children did he leave
on your doorstep?

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
Willcox?

Speaker 44 (01:32:17):
Well you know how Johnson's wax is the best possible
treatment for floors and woodwork because it positively protects against
dustin ware and seals the pores of the wood against
dirt and daptness.

Speaker 25 (01:32:26):
Yes, we know that.

Speaker 24 (01:32:28):
We listened to you every Tuesday night, mister Wilcox, did.

Speaker 6 (01:32:32):
Uncle Dennis come through with a walloping war cry on
our wonderful wax?

Speaker 32 (01:32:35):
Wilcox?

Speaker 44 (01:32:38):
Did he listen to this slogan? Yes, because the night
before Christmas and all through the house Johnson's wax.

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
Had been used.

Speaker 9 (01:32:44):
Why don't you try it?

Speaker 28 (01:32:50):
Well, don't you like it?

Speaker 24 (01:32:51):
Well, it seems to lack something, mister Wilcox, since I think, well, all.

Speaker 7 (01:32:57):
Right, how about this one?

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Hold this war?

Speaker 44 (01:32:58):
Little Jack Horner in a corner eating his Christmas pie.
He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plumb
and said, this is a messy way to eat. But
thank goodness, the table is protected with Johnson's wax.

Speaker 24 (01:33:10):
Well, now that's much better.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Oh they're too long, Harlow. They ought to be brief
like this.

Speaker 6 (01:33:15):
A piece of furniture polished with Johnson wax will reflect
your good judgment.

Speaker 20 (01:33:20):
Say that's wonderful, that's terrific, will reflect your good judgment.

Speaker 44 (01:33:24):
Oh marvelous. I'm going to send that into ra scene
right away. I'll see you later for a.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
Long Let me know that's not a bad slogan. I

Speaker 46 (01:33:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
The first time.

Speaker 24 (01:33:38):
I read it on a Johnson wax folder. Now, come on,

Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
Now?

Speaker 24 (01:35:47):
Don't be rude, dearie. Are you inferring, missus Uppington that
McGee and I are inclined to be a bit nave Ooh?

Speaker 47 (01:35:56):
The word is a naive, my dear. Ever, getting back
to your uncle Dennis, I think he's a pestanity person.

Speaker 32 (01:36:07):
Everybody seems to rive about him.

Speaker 6 (01:36:15):
When did this strange interlude between you and the chipmunk
on our family tree.

Speaker 32 (01:36:19):
Begin Oh, in the strangest.

Speaker 47 (01:36:22):
And most romantic way, mister Beginning. I was attempting to
cross Fourteenth and Oak Streets in the room when suddenly
dear Denny just shot out of Joe's tavern, and then
he lay his coat down.

Speaker 24 (01:36:36):
In the muddy street for me to slip on.

Speaker 25 (01:36:39):
Ah.

Speaker 47 (01:36:39):
No, yes, why the dear boy was in such a
hurry he didn't even take the coat off before he
laid it in the gutter.

Speaker 24 (01:36:53):
Wasn't that just too too fantastic?

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
It's not for Uncle Dennis.

Speaker 47 (01:36:58):
It was such a lovely, charming thing to do, you know,
I said, just like a queen.

Speaker 24 (01:37:03):
And I imagine Uncle Dennis felt like an ace.

Speaker 25 (01:37:13):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (01:37:13):
Yes, but Dennis is like that, you know, so dashing,
so romantic.

Speaker 47 (01:37:18):
You know, he said the other evening that I reminded
him of his mother.

Speaker 24 (01:37:22):
Isn't that sweet? Because you and her about the same age,
I imagine. Huh, yes, I imagine that.

Speaker 48 (01:37:27):
What well, please.

Speaker 36 (01:37:31):

Now, listen, you better be careful what you say about him, deary,

Speaker 28 (01:41:51):
His will.

Speaker 6 (01:41:52):
The only thing that muggle ever leave behind him is
a general feeling of relief.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
Have you ever saved in the Hello?

Speaker 32 (01:42:00):
Hello, mister Gildery, where's Denny?

If you meet me, Uncle Dennis, mister Gilder, he's gone home.

Speaker 32 (01:42:10):
Oh that's too bad, charming fellow, Your uncle Dennis great
zest for livy. He loves life.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
He'd love it more if you knew how little he
had left.

Speaker 24 (01:42:20):
When I get a hold of that ham handed the
vodom and now McGee, let bygones be bygone. I'm glad
you like Uncle Dennis.

Speaker 32 (01:42:26):
Mister Gildersleeveh, He's a great fellow, lots of character.

Speaker 6 (01:42:29):
He's got character enough for twelve people, none of whom
you'd care to know personally. Did you give him the
keys to our house, guilders Leeve?

Speaker 32 (01:42:37):
Yes, I did, and I'm glad it gave me the
opportunity of beating such a wonderful personality. Ah, we hate
great times together, going swimming.

Speaker 24 (01:42:46):
We're swimming at this time of the year.

Speaker 32 (01:42:47):
Yes, we use the pool in your basement.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
What are you talking about? We have got a swimming
pool in our basement.

Speaker 32 (01:42:53):
Have you looked lately? Yes, Denny found if you let
the laundry tough forses run for thirty six hours, you'd
have five feet of water down there. We dove off
the top of your finners.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
That does it? Now I know where to pin the blame.

Speaker 6 (01:43:14):
You're responsible for all this damage, Gildersleeve, and I'm gonna
sue you.

Speaker 32 (01:43:17):
Yes, that's all. Yes, that's a lot of ballooon juice McGee.

Speaker 6 (01:43:20):
And you know, oh yeah, you can laugh now, Gildersleeve.
But wall I get you into court, they'll fry you
in your own.

Speaker 32 (01:43:27):
Fat You're a hard man, McGee, and you can't scare me.

Speaker 24 (01:43:33):
Ah, for goodness sake, stop at both of you. You
beat around the bush like a couple of cranberry pickers.

Speaker 32 (01:43:40):
Well he can't talk like that's me missus McGee. I'll
pin his ears so far back he can hear last
week's progress.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
Oh not that you make one people pass at me, Gildersleeve.
You make one pass at me, and I'll hammer you
flatter than a hillbilly soprano.

Speaker 32 (01:43:57):
Why you need me, little squirt. You couldn't punch your
way out of a wet paper bag.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
I can punch my way into one, you wet paper bag.

Speaker 24 (01:44:10):
Now listen, what's all these murderous talk. You know very
well McGee that you and mister Gildersleeve will never fight.

Speaker 32 (01:44:15):
Oh no, no, I'm afraid you're no condition for it, McGee.

Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
I don't worry about my condition, Guildersleeve. I'm always in condition.
Why I used to box with my peppy, and when
I was only thirteen, I could slap him all around
the ring.

Speaker 2 (01:44:28):
Slap Pappy McGee.

Speaker 51 (01:44:29):
I was not.

Speaker 6 (01:44:34):
Slap Pappy McGee, the speedy, spunky scrapper of the Squared Circle,
slug and star of the scuffle stadiums who celebrated socks
hold out solid sections of seats at stags and smokers,
sneering at second string stumblebums silly enough to seek a
set two with a sensation of the.

Speaker 24 (01:44:47):
Century, a superman, a slug and slam.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
Oh you leaving stocking? Yes I am.

Speaker 6 (01:45:00):
Oh why I'm gonna leave the rest of this house
cleaning to you. I gotta run down to Kramer's drug
Store and get some cigars. That petty lars and the
uncle of yours smoke mine all up.

Speaker 24 (01:45:08):
Well he had a right to smoke him. They were
the ones he gave me, he gave you for last Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
No, they weren't.

Speaker 6 (01:45:13):
I bought these myself, the cigars he gave me I
buried under a.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
Tree in the backyard.

Speaker 24 (01:45:18):
Under which tree, you know, the.

Speaker 6 (01:45:19):
One that fell down and died on New Year's Day.
Thank goodness, this is all over. If that big Poluka
comes to visit us again before nineteen fifty.

Speaker 24 (01:45:27):
Seven, answer it, deary. I'm trying to sweep up this
broken glass.

Speaker 6 (01:45:30):
Okay, it's probably Nick Depopulace wanting.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
To speak to his dear old tal Dennis.

Speaker 9 (01:45:35):
Hello.

Speaker 6 (01:45:35):
Yes, this is Fipper McGhee. And if you want to
speak to Uncle Dennis, I'm only too happy to inform
you that. Eh ooh oh oh, well, Chucks, I thought
to you. Oh okay, goodbye.

Speaker 24 (01:45:50):
Somebody want Uncle Dennis.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Nobody I know of That was Uncle Dennis.

Speaker 32 (01:45:54):
What He ain't left town.

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
He's down at Joe's Tavern and he'll be back here
for dinner.

Speaker 7 (01:45:58):
So here that Molly, he's coming back.

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
What are you doing? You're upsetting every time?

Speaker 7 (01:46:05):
I know we want him to feel at home.

Speaker 2 (01:46:07):
Don't we up some.

Speaker 7 (01:46:12):
Way, boy a good time?

Speaker 2 (01:46:16):
What the dea is coming back?

Speaker 44 (01:46:26):
Don't you wish as rollinoleum could always stay right and
colorful as the day you bought it.

Speaker 20 (01:46:30):
Well, then there's one of your wishes that's come true,
because anolium does stay new looking when it's protected regularly
for Johnson's self polishing glow coat. And what's more, the
linoleum lasts much longer too. So there you have two
of the reasons why you should use glow coat on
all your linoleum floors. And there's even a better reason.
Blow coat is such a time and labor saver. It's
practically no work at all applying glow coat, no rubbing

(01:46:50):
or buffing whatsoever.

Speaker 44 (01:46:52):
You simply pour a little onto your clean floor, spread
it around and.

Speaker 15 (01:46:54):
Let it dry.

Speaker 44 (01:46:55):
In twenty minutes, come back to find a beautifully polished floor,
and one it will be easy to keep clean because
spilled things are quickly wiped up with the damp claw.
If you haven't tried Johnson's self polishing blow coat on
your floors, buy a can from your dealer right away.
You'll never regret it.

Speaker 24 (01:47:22):
Now, look, dearie, I want you to make an earnest
effort to be nice Uncle Dennis when he comes home. Oh,
for my sake, deary, and for your own too. I
think if you really try, you'll find he's well worth cultivating.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Now you're cooking with gas.

Speaker 9 (01:47:37):
I'll culivate him, all right, I'll.

Speaker 2 (01:47:39):
Do better than that. I'll follow him under good Night,
good night.

Speaker 44 (01:47:56):
This is Hollow Wilcox sticking for the makers of Johnson's
Wax and Stout polishing Clo coviding you to be with
us again next Tuesday night, good night.

Speaker 8 (01:48:12):
How old is your car ten weeks or ten years,
whichever it is, You'll be glad to know that now
you can keep it wax polished with very little work
and its small cost. You can do this because the
makers of Johnson's Wax perfected a new auto polish called Carnew,
a great labor saver because Carnew both cleans and wax
polishes in one operation in half the time it used

(01:48:34):
to take. Your dealer is selling Johnson's Carnew. Now the
cost is low and one trial will show you why
car owners everywhere are saying your car looks like new
when you use Carnew spelled c r n U. This
is the National Broadcasting Company.

warned you. Those malls are tough.

Speaker 6 (01:54:55):
Why when I reached for your top seeded, they grabbed
the fountain pen out of the pocket. I screwed the cap,
put it up to their shoulder like a bazooka, and
square an.

Ink in my face.

Speaker 36 (01:57:38):
Oh Jack, that's stated old thing. It's so green and splotchy.
It is not it is too. The last time you

a few minutes.

Speaker 36 (01:57:50):
Okay, goodbye, good bye? Oh Jack. Yeah, I hate to
ask you this. Well, I've worked hard making this dinner
for the whole gang. So I thought maybe you'd stop
over at the Flores and bring me some flowers.

Speaker 2 (01:58:02):
Okay, Mary, I'll bring you a half a dozen.

Speaker 36 (01:58:03):
Roses, only a half a dozen, But Jack, they don't
cost much.

Speaker 2 (01:58:07):
Well, no, the roses alone. Don't marry.

Speaker 6 (01:58:10):
But you're going to the expense of the entire dinner.
Why should you spend any more. After all, you're doing enough.

Speaker 36 (01:58:24):
Jack, I meant for you to buy the roses.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
Oh oh oh, oh.

Speaker 6 (01:58:29):
Oh, well, Mary, you didn't have to beat around the bush.
Why didn't you come right.

Speaker 2 (01:58:32):
Out and say so? Of course I'll bring them.

Speaker 36 (01:58:34):
Goodbye, goodbye of all the cheap guys.

Speaker 2 (01:58:37):

Speaker 36 (01:58:38):
This isn't Mary, this is the operator.

Speaker 6 (01:58:41):
Well you're not supposed to be listening in smart Alec
operator os, Rochester.

Speaker 2 (01:58:47):

Speaker 6 (01:58:48):
If you came along with me. Mss Livingston might need
some more help.

Speaker 2 (01:58:51):
I'd like to.

Speaker 28 (01:58:52):
But you know, every Thanksgiving I go to a party
on Civiral Avenue.

Speaker 2 (01:58:55):
Oh yes, that's right.

Speaker 28 (01:58:56):
We fill up on plump pudding and brandy sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
Say that sounds good, plumb pudding and brandy.

Speaker 53 (01:59:03):
Saws, Yes, sir, And this year is gonna be better

Speaker 2 (01:59:21):
Okay?

Speaker 28 (01:59:22):
Look neat bush? Do you have to wear all those
helps teas at the same time?

Speaker 6 (01:59:26):
Certainly, Rochester, I belong to eight different lodges anyway, what's
wrong with it?

Speaker 28 (01:59:30):
Nothing? But you've got the only best in town that
smiles at you.

Speaker 6 (01:59:35):
But you know me, I always like to put up
a happy front. So odd Rochester, so odd Yester.

Speaker 11 (02:00:30):
It'll be a hot time in the time, Berlain, when
the Yanks a much and in.

Speaker 2 (02:01:48):
Yeah, wasn't that married Phil.

Speaker 36 (02:01:49):
I don't mind your band being here, but your boys

Speaker 2 (02:01:55):

Speaker 36 (02:02:20):
On, John, take that symbol off your head. You look

(02:02:41):

I've got to go out in the kitchen and see
how my new maid is doing.

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
Okay, Mary, hurry back, huh, I will okay, George, that's.

Speaker 36 (02:02:57):
Oh, oh, Pauline. As soon as mister Benny gets here,
we have dinner, Yes, ma'am. I'll put the turkey on
the serving tray, and you go in the dining room
and set the table.

Speaker 1 (02:03:04):
Oh, I've already done.

Speaker 54 (02:03:05):
That, Miss Livingston, and I hope you like it. I
put the butter right in the center, and around it,
I put.

Speaker 36 (02:03:10):
The salt shakers.

Speaker 54 (02:03:11):
You put the salt shakers around the butter, and around
the salt shakers, I put the pepper shakers, and around
the pepper shakers, I put the cream pictures, and around
the cream pictures, I put the sugar bowls.

Speaker 36 (02:03:21):
Well, Pauline, why did you do all that?

Speaker 54 (02:03:23):
Well, we can't stop them from using the butter, but
I figured we can plow them down a little.

Speaker 36 (02:03:36):
Well, I've a sauce, love your, Pauline, but i'll rearrange
the table letter. Yes, ma'am, right now, you better help me.
I'm having trouble with a cranberry sauce.

Speaker 24 (02:03:45):
What's the matter?

Speaker 54 (02:03:45):
Can't you get the berries to crams, Paulie?

Speaker 36 (02:03:51):
And you don't cranberries, you mash them. Gee, I'm sorry,
miss Livingston.

Speaker 54 (02:03:54):
I don't know much about cooking, but if I did,
it would probably help me to get a boyfriend who's
interested in marriage. Like my gird a friend who wanted
to get married. So she went to school to learned
how to cook them. After she learned how to cook,
she met the cutest fella and they were married. After
they were married, she thought out he was a chef.
So it really doesn't make any difference.

Speaker 36 (02:04:15):
No, I guess it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (02:04:16):
Anyway, Let's oh, say, Mary, I just thought about something
that's a.

Speaker 10 (02:13:42):
Sell?

Speaker 36 (02:13:42):
Yes?

Speaker 28 (02:13:43):
Tah, very well?

Speaker 36 (02:13:44):
Madam there, Carl, don't throw the biscuits? Yeah, why don't
just stand closer to the table.

Speaker 6 (02:13:55):
I've been watching these people eat and I don't want
to get any on me. What and that old man
with a carving knight scares me to death? Now, wait
a minute, I know your type. Those blue eyes aren't

(02:14:17):
fooling me a bit. You're just mad because Mike Tuxedo
is better than.

Speaker 36 (02:14:23):
Your Now, Pa, your job just to serve the food,
not to antagonize again.

Speaker 6 (02:14:30):
Yes, madam, Hey, Jackson, how about making a speech? Come on,
come on, make a speech forhead.

Speaker 36 (02:14:36):
Jack says something. This is the first time we've all
had dinner together in a long time.

Speaker 6 (02:14:40):
Okay, okay, well, kids, it's sure nice for all of
us to be gathered here on Thanksgiving. I know that
during the year we've had our little differences and a
few arguments, but this is a day to forget all
that and samend our friendship so that it's stronger than ever.

Speaker 2 (02:15:02):
Yeah, thank you, And now if well, if we'll just
forget our little differences.

Speaker 36 (02:15:20):
But Jack, we've never had any real arguments, of course.

Speaker 48 (02:15:23):
Not Jackson.

Speaker 6 (02:15:24):
Oh, I was just thinking about little things like last
week when Don and I had that argument about what
naval heroes said, don't give up the ship. Now Don
found out he was wrong, and I'm not gonna rub
it in.

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
It's all over.

Speaker 32 (02:15:37):
So if we'll just wait a minute, Jack, I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:15:40):
So if we'll just if we get Captain James Lawrence
who said don't give up the ship? No, no, no, Don,
it was John Paul Jones.

Speaker 32 (02:15:48):
So if we that, I still.

Speaker 7 (02:15:49):
Insist you're wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:15:50):
It was Captain James Lauren.

Speaker 6 (02:15:52):
Don Wilson, you can argue to your blue in the
face it was John Paul Jones, and I am going
to prove it.

Speaker 36 (02:15:58):
Jack, put down that carving name.

Speaker 7 (02:16:03):
Oh pardon me, beast.

Speaker 2 (02:16:17):
Now, Don, this is Thanksgiving, so let's forget it.

Speaker 44 (02:16:20):
You'll think it was.

Speaker 6 (02:16:21):
Captain James Lawrence, but I know it was John Paul Jones.
Hey Jackson, wasn't he on our program about five weeks ago?
That was John Charles Tahoe.

Speaker 29 (02:16:33):
Now, John, take my.

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
Word for it.

Speaker 6 (02:16:35):
I know what I'm talking about. I'm so the lion
was Captain James Lawrence. It was John Paul Jones.

Speaker 36 (02:16:40):
Off, for heaven's sake, cut it out. Carl'll serve the dessert,
will you please?

Speaker 6 (02:16:44):
I will if those two gentlemen don't get off the table.

Speaker 2 (02:16:48):
I will if he will. That's like me. That's my
leg Now don will it?

Speaker 6 (02:16:54):
And I think it's awful for you to come here
on Thanksgiving, accept Mary's hospitality and start a big argument
like this.

Speaker 2 (02:17:00):
I didn't start the argument.

Speaker 32 (02:17:01):
You did.

Speaker 6 (02:17:02):
And any schoolboy knows that Captain James Lawrence said, don't
give up the shift. Well, every school boy knows that
it was John Paul Jones, and you're just being stubborn
about it.

Speaker 2 (02:17:10):
That's all.

Speaker 36 (02:17:10):
Yes, for goodness, that finish the speech you started, Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:17:13):
Daughter of everybody will shut up now.

Speaker 6 (02:17:20):

represents that binding tie between all people.

I enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner very much, but I wish
don wouldn't be so stubborn.

Speaker 2 (02:19:32):
After all, when a man's wrong, why doesn't he give in?

Speaker 36 (02:19:34):
But Jack John is right. It wasn't John Paul Jones.
It was Captain James Lawrence who said, don't.

Speaker 2 (02:19:39):
Give up the ship, Mary. Captain James Lawrence said, I
do not choose to run?

Speaker 55 (02:19:44):
He did not?

Speaker 2 (02:19:46):
Than who said it?

Speaker 36 (02:19:47):
What the Cosby's horse off?

Flowers?

Speaker 2 (02:20:13):
Oh yes, Mary, don't you remember I stopped off of
the floras?

Speaker 9 (02:20:15):
Oh?

Speaker 36 (02:20:15):
Yes, well boy, what took you so long? Why didn't
you bring the flower sooner?

Speaker 2 (02:20:20):
I couldn't. Mister Benny only ordered the seeds my water
up to be nice and fresh.

Speaker 20 (02:20:29):
Good night.

Speaker 2 (02:20:55):
This is the National Broadcasting Governor. Okay I Los Angeles
Earl C.

Speaker 56 (02:21:02):
Anthony Incorporated Flamingo nail Polish, the exquisitely beautiful nail polish
that well groomed women use.

Speaker 35 (02:21:10):
Flamingo is long.

Speaker 56 (02:21:11):
Lasting, resists chipping and peeling, and comes in thrilling shades.
By Flamingo twenty five cents plus tax.

Speaker 5 (02:21:20):
By the way, that twenty five cent nail polish four
dollars sixty cents today. Boy, if you could get nail
polish for a bottle for four dollars sixty cents, I
think you'd be doing well. I'll look that up anyway.
Eighty one years ago, November twenty six, nineteen forty four,

(02:21:40):
Jack Benny will go to Claudia's house.

Speaker 42 (02:21:42):
Next blind and able to compete. Well, We're here to
tell you there are lots of us all over the country.
We're blind, but we're just like you.

Speaker 57 (02:21:56):
We specialize in preventitive maintenance products. I have Providence all
up the state, Rhode Island and Passa southern Massachusetts. The
NFB's program is the only program in this country today
that has been and being more accepted day after day
by congressmen. You're leaving government officials, they're all realizing that

(02:22:17):
the Federation of the Blind has the program that will
benefit a blind people as a whole throughout the country.

Speaker 42 (02:22:24):
Randolph Hotel Building, Des Moines, Iowa, five three oh nine.

Speaker 5 (02:22:44):
So during the break there we are. Before the break,
you heard them advertising the nail polish twenty five cents
a bottle, and we looked up and saw that that
twenty five cents in nineteen forty four would be four
dollars and sixty cents today would get sally Hanson Diamond
Strength No Chip nail polish, a half ounce model for

(02:23:08):
four dollars ninety four cents at the part of the walls.
But there's a lot more expensive nail polish, including Sally
Hanson Miracle Gel nail polish at nine and a quarter,
which would be roughly twice that cost. And Opi Nail
Lacquer at eleven ninety eight, so you know some prices

(02:23:35):
have changed. And there's even a gel color soak off
Jel Lacker at seventeen ninety seven for nail polish Nail Polish. Okay,
let's go back and to peaceful time, shall we, and

(02:23:55):
see what's going on in the household of Claudia and David.
This episode of the program was from seventy eight years
ago today November twenty sixth, nineteen forty seven, and it
seems like they've cornered themselves.

Speaker 8 (02:24:10):
Your Coca Cola Bottler presents Claudia Claudia, based on the
original stories by Roz Franken, brought to you transcribed Monday
through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca Cola.

(02:24:34):
Relax and while you're listening, refresh yourself, have a coke.
And now, Claudia, Now this kitchen is so bad.

Speaker 18 (02:24:58):
In the light of day, you.

Speaker 35 (02:24:59):
Mean the flood waters have receded.

Speaker 21 (02:25:01):
You wouldn't know anything it happened. Almost The only real
casualty is Mama's double boiler.

Speaker 35 (02:25:07):
Chalk up one double boiler. We owe to Mama, half.

Speaker 21 (02:25:10):
Of it's all right. I mean there's only a hole
in one part. It ought a single boil. Pretty well.

Speaker 35 (02:25:16):
That sounds on the complicated side, David.

Speaker 21 (02:25:20):
Yes, Darling, really is nice to be an architect.

Speaker 35 (02:25:23):
What do you mean nice?

Speaker 21 (02:25:25):
I mean it is fun. An architect must have a
good time being an architect.

Speaker 55 (02:25:30):
Come on in, Darling, I can't hear you ouch nick
myself with this confounded razor.

Speaker 35 (02:25:37):
I forgot to bring a new blade with me when
we came over to mother's last night.

Speaker 21 (02:25:41):
Nick yourself badly.

Speaker 35 (02:25:42):
I live sure an architect has a good time with
his ouch.

Speaker 41 (02:25:47):
Now, what's happened?

Speaker 55 (02:25:48):
I just nicked myself again with this confounded raising. Oh,
I guess I'm not used to talking while I shave?

Speaker 21 (02:25:55):
Why talk?

Speaker 8 (02:25:55):
Then?

Speaker 35 (02:25:56):
It wasn't until you started, no, but you were singing.
That's different.

Speaker 15 (02:26:00):
Mmm.

Speaker 35 (02:26:02):
I don't know what I'm so happy about.

Speaker 21 (02:26:04):
It's contagious.

Speaker 18 (02:26:05):
You caught it from me.

Speaker 35 (02:26:06):
I just uncaught it. I just remembered that we have
to have dinner with your aunt Louisa tonight.

Speaker 21 (02:26:12):
Well we have to eat somewhere, it might as well
be at Louisa's.

Speaker 35 (02:26:16):
On the theory that if you're going to be shot,
you might as well be hung.

Speaker 21 (02:26:20):
We wouldn't be settled enough to eat at home anyway,
we can leave early.

Speaker 35 (02:26:26):
Certainly takes more time for two people to get up
in the morning than for one.

Speaker 58 (02:26:30):
Naturally, it takes twice as long, David's top. If you
kiss me, it'll take twice as long again.

Speaker 35 (02:26:36):
Oh, darling, you smell pretty well. That's a nice way
for a man to smell.

Speaker 21 (02:26:40):
I love the way men smell of shaving soap.

Speaker 35 (02:26:43):
Have you had a lot of experience, oh, dear, And.

Speaker 58 (02:26:46):
I tried so hard to keep my past the secret, David,
I never dreamed an architect did more than just draw
pictures on paper.

Speaker 35 (02:26:55):
You never dream an architect doesn't do.

Speaker 21 (02:26:57):
What doesn't do more than just draw pretty pictures on
pieces of colored paper?

Speaker 35 (02:27:02):
Oh, where's my tie? Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:27:05):
Here it is.

Speaker 55 (02:27:06):
That's only the beginning. He supervises the construction schedules. The
work gets the mason finished before the carpenters start, and
the carpenter's out before the plumbers, and the plumber's out
before the electricians, and the electricians out before the painters.

Speaker 35 (02:27:19):
An architect's work is never done.

Speaker 21 (02:27:21):
And that case a woman should be very useful to
an architect.

Speaker 55 (02:27:25):
Very useful to this architect, indispensable. In fact, I don't
know how this particular architect ever got along without you.

Speaker 21 (02:27:36):
Oh, David, we'll never get to breakfast.

Speaker 35 (02:27:39):
Oh all right, come along if you'd rather eat.

Speaker 58 (02:27:44):
I wouldn't rather, Oh, darling, I can't believe it will
be in our own apartment tonight.

Speaker 55 (02:27:50):
It'll be like a honeymoon. I wish I could be
sure the painters will be finished.

Speaker 29 (02:27:55):
They will.

Speaker 21 (02:27:56):
I tell them we couldn't wait, and they promised they'd
be out.

Speaker 35 (02:27:58):
I don't trust painters promise. It's my woman's charm. Are
you sure we'll have something to sleep on?

Speaker 21 (02:28:04):
The store promised too. I ordered the beds to be delivered.
This stuff and then the kitchen stuff's coming.

Speaker 35 (02:28:11):
Maybe I have been missing out and not having a
woman partner.

Speaker 58 (02:28:14):
Well you've got one now, Oh Fritz, here you are.
So there was a lot of furniture and boxes delivered
for us.

Speaker 46 (02:28:29):
Yes, I put everything in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (02:28:31):
Everything in our little room.

Speaker 41 (02:28:32):
Is this going to be off the crowd?

Speaker 27 (02:28:34):
Oh?

Speaker 46 (02:28:34):
I move it out again when the painter is finished.

Speaker 21 (02:28:36):
When the painter finished, he promised to be all through today.

Speaker 46 (02:28:40):
Geeve it'd be five o'clock shop. He will be finished
the floors and out, so you'll got to harry missus Norse.

Speaker 21 (02:28:46):
I certainly will hurry, mister Nott, and you'll be here
any minute.

Speaker 46 (02:28:48):
I give you your keys and I will be downstairs
if you want me.

Speaker 36 (02:28:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 21 (02:28:52):
But I don't think I need to tell Themorrow Fritz.

Speaker 52 (02:28:55):
You just call me.

Speaker 29 (02:28:56):
I will.

Speaker 28 (02:28:58):
My god, missus.

Speaker 21 (02:29:00):
Oh you're the painter.

Speaker 35 (02:29:01):
What are you doing here painting?

Speaker 13 (02:29:03):
Allow?

Speaker 1 (02:29:03):
Misses?

Speaker 21 (02:29:04):
But you promised faithfully you'd be finished with the painting
this afternoon.

Speaker 35 (02:29:07):
Won't you be sure?

Speaker 16 (02:29:09):
I'll be out just a little moret go careful where
you walk over there. I left the path for you
into the bedroom.

Speaker 21 (02:29:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 29 (02:29:16):
Never fails.

Speaker 21 (02:29:17):
What the path into the bedroom?

Speaker 16 (02:29:18):
No lady tenants wanting things in the hurry. They just
don't seem to want to let paint drive.

Speaker 21 (02:29:24):
Oh I'm sorry I've been a nuisance to you, but
I was so anxious.

Speaker 16 (02:29:27):
To get Always people are anxious to get in, and
then come the moving men and they don't care anything
for paint, just slam bang their way around.

Speaker 18 (02:29:36):
Well, that's too bad.

Speaker 16 (02:29:37):
Nobody cares about a painter. Paper hangers is the worst
of all paper and paste all over the place.

Speaker 35 (02:29:44):
Competition. I guess that's what it is.

Speaker 21 (02:29:46):
Yes, I guess that's what it is. But we're lucky
we aren't having any paper at least.

Speaker 35 (02:29:50):
All paint now, but you'll be having moving man.

Speaker 29 (02:29:53):
Look out, lady for the wet floor going to the bedroom.

Speaker 35 (02:29:57):
Oh that's what they all say. Uh uh, someone else coming?

Speaker 2 (02:30:01):
Hey, miss, not so fast?

Speaker 28 (02:30:03):
What paint?

Speaker 29 (02:30:04):
You can't come in?

Speaker 28 (02:30:05):
I'll watch out.

Speaker 35 (02:30:06):
Now, he'll watch How am I gonna get this floor?

Speaker 28 (02:30:09):
Painter?

Speaker 16 (02:30:09):
And the people are gonna be tromping across it?

Speaker 35 (02:30:13):
I promise I won't tromp. Right, you see, I live here.
Oh that's step from the little lady of the house.

Speaker 28 (02:30:19):
She's in the back here.

Speaker 18 (02:30:21):
I am keep to the leads to the bedroom.

Speaker 35 (02:30:25):
R don did you hear what he called me?

Speaker 21 (02:30:28):
Isn't it wonderful? What the painter he called me? The
lady of the house. I don't know when anything has
made me feel as married as that.

Speaker 41 (02:30:37):
Oh, look, David, what son's gone?

Speaker 35 (02:30:51):
Well maybe it has a date with some other apartment
down the street.

Speaker 21 (02:30:55):
We better hurry now and get dressed for at Luisa's dinner.

Speaker 35 (02:30:58):
Did you say dress? Oh?

Speaker 21 (02:31:00):
Didn't I tell you?

Speaker 41 (02:31:01):
I was so busy.

Speaker 21 (02:31:02):
I just she called this morning and asked specially, and
I I told her we would.

Speaker 35 (02:31:06):
That was nice, have you?

Speaker 55 (02:31:06):
You promised your Aunt Louisa, And I'm the one that
has to crawl into a boiled shirt?

Speaker 35 (02:31:13):
Why do we have to dress up?

Speaker 41 (02:31:14):
Well, that's what I didn't tell you.

Speaker 35 (02:31:16):
Well tell me now.

Speaker 58 (02:31:18):
Well, Aunt Louisa thought it would be a good idea
for us to meet her friends, the Van Merrills. Why
because they are going to do over their house and
she thought it would be nice for them to meet an.

Speaker 35 (02:31:28):
Architect and a boiled shirt. Do you know what I think? Nope,
I think Aunt Louisa is a colossal pain in the neck.

Speaker 21 (02:31:36):
But you'll go.

Speaker 35 (02:31:37):
There's no possible way of getting out of it.

Speaker 58 (02:31:40):
I'm afraid not ill Anyway, Mama will be there, David,
so it won't be so terribly bad for you.

Speaker 21 (02:31:46):
Now, let's see if our friend the painter's finished.

Speaker 35 (02:31:49):
Hm m, the coast is clear. Come on, good, I'm
already Hold on a minute.

Speaker 21 (02:31:58):
What's wrong?

Speaker 55 (02:31:59):
Your painter with the persecution complex has painted himself out
the front door, and he's painted us in the day.

Speaker 21 (02:32:07):
That he couldn't have. He promised he'd be finished and
we could move in this afternoon.

Speaker 55 (02:32:11):
Stop and think, did he actually promise that we could
move in this afternoon?

Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
Well? Did he?

Speaker 35 (02:32:18):
Or didn't he? Well?

Speaker 21 (02:32:20):
Maybe not exactly, but that's what he implied.

Speaker 18 (02:32:24):
He said he'd be finished this afternoon.

Speaker 21 (02:32:27):
Any sensible person would think that with the painter's gone.

Speaker 55 (02:32:30):
Any sensible person would know that paint takes a number
of hours to drive.

Speaker 21 (02:32:35):
That's very inconsiderate of it. Anyway, couldn't we tiptok across.

Speaker 55 (02:32:39):
On the theory that tiptoes don't count? Yes, yes we could,
but we'd leave our pretty little tiptoes permanently recorded on
our living room floor.

Speaker 21 (02:32:50):
Oh but couldn't they paint it over tomorrow?

Speaker 55 (02:32:53):
They could, when you would undoubtedly get yourself painted in again,
only next time be my luck to be painted in
with you.

Speaker 21 (02:33:02):
But we've got to get out.

Speaker 35 (02:33:04):
What paint would say, we're not going to get out.

Speaker 21 (02:33:07):
Ah, you seem to be enjoying this. I have had
an idea.

Speaker 2 (02:33:12):
You planned it.

Speaker 35 (02:33:13):
All Ooh me, I had absolutely nothing to do with David.

Speaker 21 (02:33:17):
This isn't any joke.

Speaker 18 (02:33:18):
What about Aunt Louisa's dinner party?

Speaker 35 (02:33:20):
Yeah, I was thinking of that.

Speaker 36 (02:33:22):
What were you thinking?

Speaker 35 (02:33:23):
I was thinking how nice it was we couldn't go.

Speaker 21 (02:33:26):
Oh, but this is terrible.

Speaker 55 (02:33:28):
It's so terrible about being cooped up with me, then Louisa.
The best laid schemes of mice and men often work
out in the most wonderful way.

Speaker 21 (02:33:38):
But David, the Van Merrill's, and the cousins and the
dinner was really being given for us. Oh, Darling, I've
ruined everything, and I wanted to be such.

Speaker 55 (02:33:47):
A Oh you're a magnificent help. You couldn't have done
better even if you'd known what you were doing.

Speaker 58 (02:33:53):
To be really honest, I don't want to go either.
Only only what only There's a cloud to every still
over lining if we miss out Louisa's dinner party.

Speaker 21 (02:34:03):
We want everything to eat will star.

Speaker 35 (02:34:05):
Oh well we'll get food now, you say, wait a minute,
er first.

Speaker 21 (02:34:13):
Fred, David, you can't scream out of a window like
other neighbors.

Speaker 41 (02:34:17):
What they think.

Speaker 28 (02:34:18):
I don't give a hoop eh frets, eh fress. Something's
all up there. Someone wants me, Fred, could you come
up here? Yah, mister Norton, I'm fine.

Speaker 9 (02:34:34):
Up, thank you.

Speaker 35 (02:34:37):
It was just two poors below.

Speaker 21 (02:34:39):
Oh David, you've ruined our reputation.

Speaker 35 (02:34:41):
That's better than ruining the pain. I'm not sure, I am, darling.

Speaker 21 (02:34:45):
I feel like an awful fool.

Speaker 35 (02:34:48):
Did I say you weren't?

Speaker 36 (02:34:49):
But is this a silly thing to have done?

Speaker 55 (02:34:51):
People do lots sillier things. They fall out of love,
get divorced, and.

Speaker 46 (02:34:56):
Mister Norton, oh yeah, fretz and something longer, don't get well?

Speaker 28 (02:35:02):
Oh what the truppets? The pin that taught me you
had gone out, but you had not gone out.

Speaker 55 (02:35:06):
Very definitely we had not gone out, And now it
would seem that, very definitely.

Speaker 35 (02:35:11):
We are not going to go out. What the no
troubles at all? In fact, we can manage beautifully with
your help.

Speaker 2 (02:35:17):
What could that do?

Speaker 35 (02:35:18):
Well? If you get a long broom, for an example,
you could reach some food across to us without touching
the floor.

Speaker 28 (02:35:24):
Yeah, that would be good.

Speaker 2 (02:35:25):
There's the food.

Speaker 55 (02:35:26):
Well, if you could run down to the delicatessen, for
an example, you could get some four roast beef saln no.

Speaker 21 (02:35:32):
Too, cheese and two roast beef.

Speaker 20 (02:35:33):
Then we can split all right with mustard and some
pickles and holly sure, sure, oh this is fun.

Speaker 35 (02:35:41):
Yes, I know, Aunt Louisa. I'll fix that too, can
you reach the telephone there in the fourier, Fritz.

Speaker 21 (02:35:45):
Yes, I can reach it, Plaza five four oh seven seven.

Speaker 46 (02:35:49):
I am dialing it plaza five four or seven seven?

Speaker 28 (02:35:54):
So I dieted.

Now what do you ask for, Missus Brown? Tell her

Speaker 21 (02:36:02):

Speaker 8 (02:37:19):
This broadcast of Claudia was supervised and directed by William
Brown Maloney. Let's see what's needed to make Thursday's holiday complete.
How about your supply of coca cola. You'll want plenty
of eyes on that day. Of all days, you can
have Dad pick up a case at the food store
or service station when he's driving by. He's always glad

(02:37:41):
to oblige. When it's coke you ask him to bring home,
and the children are happy to see that case of
refreshment and hospitality. Every day, Monday through Friday, Claudia comes
to you, transcribed with the best wishes of your friendly
neighbor who bottles coca cola. So listen again tomorrow at
the same time. And now this is Joe King saying

(02:38:03):
au revoir. And remember, whoever you are, whatever you do,
wherever you may be, when you think of refreshment. Think
of coca cola or ice cold. Coca cola makes any pause,
the pause that refreshes.

Speaker 5 (02:38:49):
Oh, you know, that sort of thing happened back in
those days, happens today too. Going back seventy eight years though,
remember twenty six, nineteen forty seven, Claudia here on Classic
Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox, an oversized show on Thanksgiving Day,
not quite a Thanksgiving show, but because it is the

(02:39:11):
