Speaker 1 (00:03):
Another Christmas seal show starring Fibber McGee and Molly, brought
to you by your local Tuberculosis Association. It snowed last
night in westful Vista, a beautiful, thick carpet of white,

(00:24):
and the town looks like a Christmas card. Standing on
the front walk at number seventy nine, Missus McGee thinks
she has never seen such a lovely sight. And mister
McGee just listened to what he thinks of the beautiful snow.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
This stuff, snow. All it causes is trouble, wet feet, traffic,
hard work, snow. Why do we have to have it?
What's it good for?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
How much did you pay for that snowshovel?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Three bucks?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
If we never have any snow, it would be stupid
to buy a snowshovel, wouldn't it. Well, yes, no, that's
what snow is good for. It proves you are not
so stupid?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Does it that?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Though I share it?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Die?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Ain't that a wonderful thought? Thousands of tons of snow
all over the country, just to prove that I ain't
stupid kind of makes you stop and think, don't it?
I Sometimes?

Speaker 3 (01:32):
What's the matter?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm just listening for the phone. Had guy ever call again?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Who?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Well, then what guy you talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
The guy that phoned this morning while you were taking
out the ashes and I was in the shower and
by the time I got up from slipping on the
soap and got downstairs, it stopped ringing. You know the
guy that the next time he called, I was in
the basement getting the snowshovel out from under three tons
of coal that they dumped it down the chute while
I was playing in the Elks Pool tournament last week
and they didn't know the snowshovel was there. That guy.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh damn, Yeah, No, I am't gotten a call all morning.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Who was it?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know, but it must be urgent. Hey, Hey,
you think maybe it was the Pot of Gold?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I doubt it. They've been off the air for several years.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, our phone's been busy a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Hey, that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I bet it's one of them quiz show.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh macgee, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
What's to be logical? Are you expecting a call from
a quiz show? No, I'm not on either, am I
and one of them guys always call when you're not
expecting it. That's when boy, oh boy, keep listening to money.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Keep all right, all right, you shovel, I'll listen.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay, this is hard work. How can anything that looks
so light weigh so much?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
The paper commented on that this morning you did. Yes,
The paper said this was the heaviest no we've had
for a long time. By the way, why are the
extra shovel on the porch?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh that well, I change off. Well, this one gets
too hot. I use that one.

Speaker 3 (02:56):

Speaker 3 (03:28):
You're lying across the door.

Speaker 6 (03:30):

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It stopped. Oh, oh, there's the phone again. Mege, I'll

Speaker 2 (04:00):
So I can answer the ain't that the dog guns?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Who do you suppose it is?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I haven't the faintest idea either.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's what got me worried. Hey, do you suppose anything
wonderful has happened to your rich aunt Sarah like she's
fell off the roof?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Maybe no, and get that happy look off your face
just a thought.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Now.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
I will say for you, dearie, that you're doing a
fine job.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
What say, kitt, I say? Here comes doctor Gamble, Hello doctor, Oh.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Hi doc, Hello Molly, and good day to you.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Muscle bound?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
What do you mean muscle bound? I at least can
lean over and see where I've been shoveling without stepping
back three paces. That's more than you could do with
that's taking potatoes brand of yours. It's a wonder you
ever know if your socks match.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Anyway?

Speaker 7 (04:52):
At your age, I'd suggest you leave the hard physical
work to somebody.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Hey, hey, telephone, HiT's ringing.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
I answered, you stay here and talk. No, no, no, no, no,
it's for me.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'm sure I got.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh, hey, the poor lamb, Come on, doctor, I think
we need you.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
He doesn't need me after a fall like that, he
needs six muscular friends, and a brief eulogy by somebody
who doesn't know him too well.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Help me up, somebody.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I got to answer that phone too late. There it
stopped ringing. Are you hurt badly? Look him over, will
your doctor?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I've been looking him over for a number of years,
and he gets no prettier. I think you busted anything, Strawfoot,
I think I busted everything. Look at that bone sticking
out there. Look at that what's that my clapical?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
That's the handle of your snowshoell oh.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Doctor, is he all right?

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (06:07):
Sit up graceful. Now take a deep breath. That's your
idea of a deep breath. I hope you'll never have
to swim across a finger bowl under water. I'll take
a deep one, all right. Chatter brain, just skinned and bruised.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'd better quit snuggling show for today?

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Who said that?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I better take it easy. I relax, certainly, not get
back and shovel. Loosen up those stiff muscles now, if
you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to the hospital.
Accident case. Oh what time lardo man.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
Slipped and fell down with his neck across his snowshovel
and broke it in two pieces.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh so long?

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Did he mean his?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
She?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I didn't have a nerve to ask.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Can you guess the Christmas gift that's given most? No,
not candy, not jewelry, and it isn't exactly right for
a stocking, but it's Christmas seals, of course.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
When you make your purchase of the Christmas Seal with
the double barred Cross, you're joining with more than twelve
million American families in giving a gift of health to
your fellow man and yourself. So remember this, when you
purchase your Christmas Seal, you're a choosing a gift that's
given most and gives the most. And if that isn't

(07:48):
the true spirit of Christmas, I'll well, I'll clean out
fiber McGee's closet. Yes, friends, let's all get behind the
Christmas Seal life saving program, buy and use oh the
Christmas seals you can. And now back to Fibber McGhee
and Molly.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
How does your back feel now, deary better?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
No? No, but my leg hurts so bad. I don't
notice my back anymore. You ought to see my knees.
They look like I've been shooting craps on a pile
of broken glass.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Look, sweetheart, why don't you go in and lie down?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Then?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
If the phone rings, no.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Sir, I started this job, and by George, I'm gonna
finish it. At this point, I don't care if that
that dreaded phone never rings again. I wouldn't answer that phone.
Nof it was.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
No, sweetheart, No it didn't really.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I thought I heard it anyhow, Like, oh, hey, take
that extra shovel off the steps there and get it
out of the way with it.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
With pleasure, I'll drop it here in the snow there.
At least that's one hazard you don't have to worry about. Oh,
let me gee, the lad on the flag huh coming
down the hill? What it look at?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (09:04):

the steps.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
And you know the phone.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Keeps ringing, mister old timer. Every time a gee hits
that porch, he's spreads out like a pat of butter
on a hot water pearl.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Boys kind of fumbled for the daughter. Don't keep in condition.
You ought to do like me, Johnny. First thing I
do every morning is hop into a cold shower for
ten minutes. Tons me up, no kidding.

Darn shovel. No, but this is more important, Molly. Do
you know that this is the forty fifth birthday of
the Christmas Seal?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, so it is Blessed's High and I do mean heart.
The Christmas Seal has more heart in it than anything
else I can think of. Why do you know what
the sale of Christmas Seals accomplish? McGee, That's what I'm
trying to tell you. It's already helped that Tuberculosis Association
save more than five million knives.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
It has, don't you think I know?

Speaker 3 (13:15):
And what do you think pays? For all those chest
X ray campaigns, health education, rehabilitation, and medical research of
the Tuberculosis Association. If it isn't the Christmas Seals you
and me and all the rest of the folks buy.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's what I'm trying to find out, Molly. How many seals.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Christmas Seals are right in my insurance plan for you,
your insurance plan for me? Yes, Darry, this is one
insurance nobody can afford to be without.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
H Shaw. But Molly is right, ladies and gentlemen, Christmas
Seals are wonderful insurance every American can buy.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
