Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Fiber McGhee and Mollie Show Every weekday at this time,
NBC brings you Fibber, McGhee and Mollie transcribed. The show
is written by Bill Leslie and Bill Dench and directed
by Max Hutto. We'll join Fibber and Malli in just

(00:31):
a moment. Most of us have lived in the United
States of America, all our lives and our high standard
of living we've come to accept as naturally is the
fact that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We eat three meals a day.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
That standard, if we stop to think about it, has
largely been the result of one talent. Our ability to
produce more than any other country in the world, production
and plenty of it has also done more than give
us a high standard of living. What are we driving
at this? We don't want to lose our custom standard
of living. We also don't want to lose that freedom

(01:06):
which we've fought for and cherished ever since we became
a nation. We're threatened once again, and we mean to
make ourselves so strong that any aggressor will think twice
before attacking us. So what do we do now? We
work harder and longer at our job so that we
can produce enough to build our strength against aggression, and
at the same time maintain the high standard of living

(01:26):
which has made our country the fine place to live
in That it is the better we produce, the stronger
we grow. That's the American economics. There's one very important
after Christmas chore that many of us managed to put

(01:48):
off till around eastern But here at seventy nine wistful
vista this morning, mister McGee is just finishing the job
as we join Febrary McGee and Molly.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Back to with Pa Vista in a minute. One of
the outstanding characteristics of a democracy is the right of
each individual to worship according to his conscience and his beliefs.
The churches of America symbolized the belief of many that
threw community worship we can gain the moral strength and
courage to lead a good life. They symbolize the important
role which religion has played in the shaping of our nations.

(06:09):
Each day, thousands turned to their religious leaders for personal
guidance and poor material help. Without religion, many of these
people would have nowhere to turn in their hour of need.
All of us recognize the important role played during the
war by chaplains of all faiths in helping our soldiers
to adjust to military life. Te us, it is manifest
that religion is an important part of the moral fiber

(06:29):
of America. It was the need to worship which drove
our forefathers to leave their native lands and come here.
Let us not forget the importance of the church in
our lives. Let us, through recognition of moral and spiritual hungers,
guide ourselves and our families toward a way of life
which bespeaks peace and harmony and goodwill toward all men.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I can't help feeling a little guilty about this movie.
