The Fiber McGhee and Molly Show every weekday. At this time,
NBC brings you Fever. McGee and Mollie transcribed. The show
was written by Phil Leslie and Ralph Goodman and directed
by Max Happo. Fibber and Maley will be with you
(00:28):
in a minute. Here's something most of us have to
think about sooner or later. Retirement. You know, it can
be a long vacation, carefree and gay, or it can
be a long ordeal, depressing and uncertain. It all depends
on how well you've planned for it. A lot of
folks are, including United States savings bonds and their retirement plans.
(00:50):
Smart people. They know that savings bonds are a safe, sound,
sure investment. They know they'll get back four dollars for
every three dollars they put in, one hundred dollars for
every seventy five dollars invested when those bonds mature, and
you know that happens in less than ten years. Of course,
savings bonds can now be held beyond their maturity date
(01:10):
at further interest. The highest rate it's ever been three
percent interest compounded semiannually for as long as ten years
beyond the maturity date of the bonds. Start planning for
your retirement. Now you'll discover you'll feel more secure tomorrow
if you buy United States Savings bonds today. The mailman

Gree Oh hi, old timer, Hey Christmas.

He's greeting to you, mister old timer, god bye to

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh no, then never mind, thank you very much. Nice

Speaker 3 (03:11):

How though?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Probably lovely?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I hope you like it.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Oh. I love the holidays kids. Christmas Eve always puts
me in mind of the fun I used to have
when I was a kid with that old gang of mine,
the old gang. Huh yep, gee, but I did the
world to see that old old guy. Sure was the
great old gang. Kids, That old gang of mine. You
(03:43):
used to squad every year singing Christmas.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Carol who always in your crowd?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Very exclusive groups hunt all that. There was Johnny and
Pete and Marny and Skeet. There was Eddie and Slim
and Teddy and Mara Belle Kloper horn there a Belle
Klooper or I'll see get in the needed her for harmony. Johnny,
you had a fine, rich baritone. Myra did. Rest of
the gang was boy sopranos. She sang aloud only Christmas
(04:10):
Daughter used to sing the silent nights aloud. We was
harsh the rest of the year. We did have fun. Kids,
Me and the whole gang were together all the time.
I tell you we were insufferable.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I can imagine.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And then, as so often happens to good friends and proof,
a woman came between us. Yep, a woman busted up
that whole gang of mine. Who was it? Mama moved
out of town and took me with hers along.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Kids, marry me Christmas all time.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
There's more fun with the McGhee Shortley. One of the
outstanding characteristics of a democracy is the right of each individual.
We go to worship according to his conscience and his beliefs.
The churches of America symbolize the belief of many the
through community worship we can gain the moral strength and
courage to lead a good life. They symbolize the important
(05:13):
role which religion has played in the shaping of our nation.
Each day, thousands turned to their religious leaders for personal
guidance and for 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 the military life. Thus, it is manifest that
(05:36):
religion is an important part of the moral fiber 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 mens.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
What do you think the old timer gave us big package?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know, we'll open it tomorrow. I hope he
likes the pipe and tobacco.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
We give him. Well he better like it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I looked all over town to find a bargain like that.
You can't hardly find a corncob pipe the day. Wonder
who this is?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Enny, Oh, Jeddy, I love your stays.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I like them too, Tenny. I'll just sit over here,
out of the way, and I'll keep real quiet, Perie.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh, Tenny, did you ever hear the story about Laura
the lop sided pine Tree?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
No, Master, No, I never heard that one. Is it
a true stime?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Master?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
A chilling as that moon.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, it's a sort of a little piece of folklore
that's been kind of handed down from generation to generation.
Or will it be as soon as I can think
it up?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh boy, that's the best candor vet.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah. Well, well, sir, long time I go. Once upon
a time that there used to be a great, big forest. Well,
it was out past dubens like aways, and it was
all full of tall pine trees. And every year on
Christmas Day, the king of the forest would invite all
the people from all around and they'd have a Christmas
party and sing songs and give each other presents, and
they have wonderful times.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Well, every year the king would pick out the prettiest
tree in the forest to have Christmas under. You see,
it got to be quite a contest among the local
pines to see which one would be chose. The King's tree,
the yeah now, way off in one corner of the forest,
kind of by herself, stood Laura, the lop side of
(08:42):
the funniest lookinst poorest, little scrubby old pine tree in
the whole woods. Her branches were all cock eyed and
her bark was always falling down, and she was just
the real sad sapling.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Oh, poor La.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
The other trees, the big, tall, beautiful looking ones, they
used to sneer a little outside of Laura all the time.
Some of them trees got so vain about their good
looks that you just couldn't stand them. Spent all their
time primping and powdering their combs and combing the birds
nests out of their hair and looking pretty.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Oh that's not a good way out, bet you. People
shouldn't be vain, especially pine trees, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But these pine trees got so bad they wouldn't let
a bird building their branches, and they shook all the
squirrels out onto the ground. And the only place the
little creatures had to live was Laura. The little outside
of Lara gave them all home.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
She had a kine high hunt, sure, But the.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Other trees used to raz or something in tears. Look
at Lopsy, they'd say, get her hair full of birds, mess,
and her lap full of squirrels. Boy, are you a mess?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They'd say? Oh, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
All them pine trees needled her.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
They were naughty pines. Huh, naughty times.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, I mean I was gonna say that myself. Well, anyhow,
one Christmas Eve, little Large just couldn't take it any longer,
and she just broke down and cried, uh huh, just
stood there sobbing kind of softly to herself.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Oh see, just like a weeping mall, Hi, Master, a
weeping well.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
All, well, she was more of what you might call
a crying conifers is. Oh and while she was standing
there crying softly, and the other mean old trees were
snickering at her all.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Once it happened, Oh gosh, this is a good fight
of it. What happened? Is this a good time?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah? It happened that a young angel was passing by
that night. She was in a hurry, trying to get
home for Christmas. You see.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And where where had she been?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Master?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Where he had the angel?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Then?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh, she'd been over in Pittsburgh or Wichita, oscar Looser
or someplace to say hello to a couple of new babies.
She stopped someplace else to sort of spread her wings
over a young couple that were getting married that day.
And she looked in to let a little crippled boy
know that he was going to be okay for Christmas,
you know, just just business calls like angels do check
(11:09):
about you. Anyhow, when the angel heard Laura the Lopsided
Pine tree cry, and she wheeled down to investigate, and
Laura told her the story through her tears, and the
angel smiled and just waved her wings, and poor little
Laura the lop sided Pine became the prettiest tree in
all the world, getting for high. The tears that poor
(11:31):
little pine tree shed froze into beautiful shining icicle, and
her cones gleamed like colored lights, and her branches were
dusted with snow. Way up on her tip top branch,
the angel hung a shining star, and they named the
tree the Christmas Tree. And the people came and admired
(11:55):
the tree and gave each other presents and wished each
other happiness and peace and the merry Christmas, just like
missus McGee, and I wish you.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
An geez that's wonderful. Mister McGhee.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
O Merry Christmas, teenie oo.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I just hope the whole world has a Merry Christmas
about you everybody.

squirrels out onto the ground. And the only place the
little creatures had to live was Laura. The little outside
of Lara gave them all home.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
She had a kine high hunt, sure, But the.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Other trees used to raz or something in tears. Look
at Lopsy, they'd say, get her hair full of birds, mess,
and her lap full of squirrels. Boy, are you a mess?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They'd say? Oh, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
All them pine trees needled her.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
They were naughty pines. Huh, naughty times.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, I mean I was gonna say that myself. Well, anyhow,
one Christmas Eve, little Large just couldn't take it any longer,
and she just broke down and cried, uh huh, just
stood there sobbing kind of softly to herself.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Oh see, just like a weeping mall, Hi, Master, a
weeping well.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
All, well, she was more of what you might call
a crying conifers is. Oh and while she was standing
there crying softly, and the other mean old trees were
snickering at her all.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Once it happened, Oh gosh, this is a good fight
of it. What happened? Is this a good time?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah? It happened that a young angel was passing by
that night. She was in a hurry, trying to get
home for Christmas. You see.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And where where had she been?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Master?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Where he had the angel?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Then?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh, she'd been over in Pittsburgh or Wichita, oscar Looser
or someplace to say hello to a couple of new babies.
She stopped someplace else to sort of spread her wings
over a young couple that were getting married that day.
And she looked in to let a little crippled boy
know that he was going to be okay for Christmas,
you know, just just business calls like angels do check
(11:09):
about you. Anyhow, when the angel heard Laura the Lopsided
Pine tree cry, and she wheeled down to investigate, and
Laura told her the story through her tears, and the
angel smiled and just waved her wings, and poor little
Laura the lop sided Pine became the prettiest tree in
all the world, getting for high. The tears that poor
(11:31):
little pine tree shed froze into beautiful shining icicle, and
her cones gleamed like colored lights, and her branches were
dusted with snow. Way up on her tip top branch,
the angel hung a shining star, and they named the
tree the Christmas Tree. And the people came and admired
(11:55):
the tree and gave each other presents and wished each
other happiness and peace and the merry Christmas, just like
missus McGee, and I wish you.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
An geez that's wonderful. Mister McGhee.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
O Merry Christmas, teenie oo.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I just hope the whole world has a Merry Christmas
about you everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
So the wee teeny Merry Christmas to all.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
