Speaker 1 (00:05):
Holgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean
your teeth and help stop tooth decay and bluster cream
shampoo for salt, glamorous caressible hair.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Bring you our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden. It's time
once again for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks
under the direction of al lewis Well. The fall semester
is definitely upon us, and our Miss Brooks, who teaches
(00:34):
English at Madison High School, has more or less settled
down to her accustomed routine.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yes, and like many of my fellow teachers, I'm a
firm believer in the old adage early to bed, only
I've switched it a little. I believe that early to bed,
early to rise makes a gal sleepy, poor and bored.
So whenever possible, I try to get some male faculty
member at Madison to take me out for an evening.
Any male faculty member will do, as long as he
(01:02):
teaches biology and his name Philip Boynton. Last Thursday at breakfast,
my landlady asked for a blow by blow.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Weren't you supposed to have a date with mister Boynton
last night, Connie.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yes, missus Davis, I was supposed to but he couldn't
make it.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But Connie, I thought that twice a week you and
mister Boynton will I thought that last night was your
night to howell.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I did howl, but I did howl, But he still
wouldn't take me out. Missus Davis, I'm competing with a
new and dangerous interest.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You mean mister Boynton got another batch of guinea pigs.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
No, he's joined the Volunteer fire Department, And unlike the
old fashioned kind, this group insists on practically the same
tests as regular fireman. They practice at least twice a week. Well,
it was nice to have almost known them.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
But Connie, you can't give up that easily. Even if
mister Boynte is so interested in fire fighting that he
joined the VOLI tears, there is still a way you
can see him start a fire, certainly not. You've simply
got to get interested in the.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Same thing that interests him.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
There's nothing like throwing yourself into a man's work.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Wonder how he'd like me rare or well done?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I'm serious, Connie, You've got to help him with his practice.
What's mister Boyton's current assignment?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The high Ladder Rescue? He gets his tests in a
few days. It consists of lugging a sack of meal
down a ladder.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I've got it. This is your big chance. Surely he'd
prefer you to a second meal.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
As far as mister Boyton's concerned, it's probably optional. Wait
a minute, there is a way I can help out.
He hasn't got a house to put his ladder up against.
Now if I could find one for him.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You're both welcome to this house.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Connie, that's very sweet of you, missus Davis. But where
would you live? Oh, this is only a one story house.
He's got a pretty high ladder.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Then how about your principals home. The Conklins have a
two story house.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Say that's right, But mister Conklin would never let us
use it. He'd be afraid the paint would be scratched
or something. Then use it without his knowing it. Wait
until he goes out for the evening. I suppose he
doesn't go out.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Cannie, who's coming to drag you to school this morning?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Walter?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
And who's Walter's girlfriend?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Harriet Conklin?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And who better than Walter would know how to get
rid of mister Conklin for an evening?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hand me my hatchet and grease up the pole. Here
goes Connie Brooks, girl hotfoot. You certainly take good care
of this car, Walter. Even the windows look spotless. They should.
I took a glass house. But you said when you
(04:02):
first came aboard that there's something you want to ask me?
What is it? Miss Brooks? Well, first of all, you're
still going with Harriet Conklin, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm still trying to, but I haven't seen much of
a hurry at this week, old marblehead. Mister Conklin masers
stay home every night, and worse than that, he stays
home with her, Walter.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'll come right to the point. We've got to get
him out of the house tonight, if only for a
few hours. Why tonight, because mister Boynton's got to practice
ladder rescue. If you ask me what ladder he's gonna rescue,
I'll slug you. You see, mister Boynton's join the volunteer
fire Department. Oh, I know, so have I. I've been
practicing for those tests too. But your folks don't have
(04:44):
a two story house. That's all right. I don't have
a ladder either.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
You boy said I could borrow his as soon as
he finds it place to practice.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Oh good, Now, if we can get mister Conklin out
of the house tonight, we can use his place. Well, frankly, miss.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Brooks, we'd have him much better chance of getting him out.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Of the house three days from now? What happened three
days from now?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Let's one day after his ten day free trial period
on a new television set expires. It's also one day
before his ten day free trial and the next set begins.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Junk order sets on trial. Sure, well, at that rate,
he can keep getting free television till the whole thing
blows over next. What's so tough about tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Plus which, if he thought somebody wanted him to go out,
he'd be doubly sure to stay home.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He's like a child that way, you know, Perverse, You're right, Walter,
say wait a minute. That gives me an idea. Maybe
we can use child psychology on him. What happens when
you tell a kid he must eat his spinach? Would
you mind using another vegetable?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Don't you see, Walter, some people just naturally resents suggestion.
I get it.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
If you say mister Cocklan is sick, he'll say as well.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Or if you insist you ought to stay home, he'll
want to go out.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Miss Brooks, You've got something, thanks, Walter, and when.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You find out what it is, be sure and let
mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
How many times must I tell you, Harriet, that the
principal's office is not the place to discuss personal matters.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
But Daddy, I just want to know if Walter Danton
can come over to our house tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And the answer, as it has been for the past
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Is no.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Daddy, you're frustrating me. Don't you see how deeply I
care for Walter. Don't you realize that someday we're.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Going to be married. Married, it's no use arguing.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Father Mothers often told me that when she had her
mind made up to marry you, nothing could change it, not.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Even me, Harriet. This is a school, not a lonesome
hearts cloud. I don't want you seeing Denton and that's final.
Now get ready for your first class.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
All right, Daddy, I'll go, But remember this, Nothing or
nobody can keep Water and me apart indefinitely. Love will
find a way for us, as it has for others.
Even if we have to Elope, We'll someday somehow.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Good morning, Harriet. Good morning, Father, Good morning Harriet. Goodbye,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Walter Denton. Miss Brooks, I'd like to put a question
to you as a woman.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
One minute, I'll get in the mood. What's the question,
mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What can a girl possibly see in Walter Denton.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, that's hard to say, mister Conklin. Different people see
different things in each one of us. For instance, I'm
sure that certain girls can see as much in Walter
a certain and me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, that's a relief now that. What did you want
to see me about, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I just wanted to know if I could stop by
your house tonight. I'd like to discuss a few changes
in curriculum.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, yes, I suppose you can see me tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Of course, it doesn't have to be tonight. I know
you're home practically every night.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's true.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
When I get home after a day's work, I like
to stay put.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
My grandmother was the same way. Wild horses couldn't get
her out of the house once she started nudging seventy.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I'm sure that my reasons for staying at home differ
greatly from those of your grandmother. I have my books,
my family, and other cultural pursuits.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh, I know, who do you like in the wrestling
match tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, I think Tiger Schlepkovitch will crashure the Devil.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Match see too. Isn't television a great boon?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, it is, especially.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
To those who don't get around much anymore, Miss Brooks.
I don't blame people of advancing years for staying home evenings.
After all, it's nice to be within easy reach of
your favorite chair, your pipe and slippers, your doctor's phone number,
(09:25):
my touts.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Miss Brooks, The reasons I have for staying at home
have nothing to do with the advancing years or ill health.
I could do anything today that I could do ten
years ago. I could go out every night of the
week if I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I must admire your spirit, sir, But after all, I'm
sure that wouldn't be necessary, not as far as your
wife is concerned. Although and almost any woman would get
just the tiniest bit envious if she heard that a
young principle like Jason Brill takes his wife dancing twice
a week.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Jason Brill dancing.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Only last Friday evening. I saw him at the Silver
Slipper Cafe.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The Silver Slipper.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Did he say anything about me?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Why? Yes, come to think of it, he did. I
think he said, how's old stick in the mud?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Os good? What white guy him?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yep?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Well you don't have to bite my head off?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
Don't? Dare me you will?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Who's you?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Darling?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
I forgot to mention it before you left this morning.
But this is my thorough cleaning day and you'll have
to pick up some things for dinner tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
All right, Martha, just a second, Why should we have
to do any shopping today? We're going out to dinner.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
What did you say, dear?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I said we're going out to dinner?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
OS good?
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I think we have a bad connection.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
What's bad about it? I can hear you perfectly, I know, dear,
But for.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
A moment there, I thought you said we were going
out to dinner.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's exactly what I did say.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
But isn't it a little early to be celebrating our anniversary?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is until June?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Matha, Matha? We're going out to dinner and then we're
going to the Silver Slipper to dance.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Goodbye, well, goodbye?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Too old to go dancing, am I? Miss Brooks? What
was it, Jason Brill called me again.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I can't be sure, but I think it was.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Let's live a little Osgodes.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Brooks barring eve Arden will continue in just a moment,
but first, here is Verne Smith. Reader's Digest reports the
results of one of the most extensive experiments in Dennifer's history. Yes,
Reader's Digest reports the very same research which proves brushing
teeth right after eating with Coldgate dental cream stops tooth decay, Bess,
and here are additional important facts. Over a two year period,
(11:54):
the colgateway stopped more decay for more people than ever
before reported in Dennifer's history. Yes, the coal gateway of
brushing teeth right after eating stop tooth decay best better
than any other home method of oral hygiene.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Even more important, there were no new cavities whatever for
more than one out.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Of three who used coal gates as directed.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
No other natifris ammoniated or not has proof of such results,
the best results ever reported for a natifrice of any type.
And you should know that Colgate danl cream, while not
mentioned by name, was the only tooth faste used in
the research reported in July readers Digest, Yes, Colgate Dentel cream,
and only Colgate Dental Cream was used in this research.
(12:37):
So always use coal gates to clean your breath while
you clean your teeth. And when you follow the coal gateway,
Colgate Denttle cream stops tooth decay. Best well.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Lunch period and I arrived at the school cafeteria at
the same time, and by an unusual daily coincidence, I
found myself sitting opposite mister Boynton. I was so pleased
that the way I'd secured a place for him to
practice for his firefighting test that I could hardly wait
to tell him about it, So I didn't. Mister Boynton,
I found a place for you to practice your ladder rescue.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
My ladder rescue. That's wonderful, Miss Brooks. But I didn't
know you were so interested in the VFL VFL Volunteer
fire laddies.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Oh I am, mister Boynton. I think putting out fires
is wonderful, so much better than just letting them go on.
But aren't you going to ask me who's home we're
honoring with your ladder tonight?
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Yes, who's the Conklin? The Conklins? Oh, Miss Brooks, you
know how mister Conklin stands on.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Extracurricular activities even though I feel it's my civic duty
to participate.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Mister Conklin would.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Mister Conklin isn't going to know about it. He and
missus Conklind are going out for the evening, you see,
mister Boynton, I'd like to assist you tonight.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
What can you do, miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, there's no law that says you have to carry
a sack of me down the ladder, is there?
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Certainly not.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
I could carry a sack of flour, a sack of potatoes,
or an old mattress barrel.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You're getting warmer, Look, mister boy I know how important
this test is to you, and I want to help you.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Oh that's all right, Miss Brooks. I can carry the
sack down by myself.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
This boy isn't paying attention, mister Boydan. What I had
in mind was something more practical for you to rehearse.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
With, Like what like me?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
You could carry me down the ladder? After all, I
don't weigh any more than a sack of meal.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Well, that's true, and both your general shapes.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm sure it would work out fine. Mister.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
I don't know, it's pretty risky.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
After all, it's a big difference between having a sack
of meal over my shoulder you're having you over my shoulder.
I can't tell you exactly what it is, but I
know there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
If as and when you find out what that difference is,
you're going to be one surprised fire ladder.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
Certainly, nice of Harriet Conklin to let me use her
room for this ladder practice.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
But I hope her folks don't come home.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh they won't. Mister Conklin's whooping it up tonight, probably
painting the town gray. Besides, Walter Denton will be practicing
with us.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
We are well chaperone.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
If you're going to pass your test, mister Boynant, we'd
better start. Uh huh, looks pretty far down to the
ground from here.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
Oh, it's only two stories, and I'll be very careful
how I hold you, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
We'll use the fireman's carry. First.
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Put both your arms over my left shoulder. No, no, no,
let's see. Put your left arm over my right shoulder
while I put my right arm under your left one,
and place my left leg on the second rung of
the ladder. Now, your right leg goes to the right
of mind over the window still and.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Missus Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes, mister Boydon, did you.
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Notice what happened to my left arm?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's right here, mister b But I think there's something
slightly wrong with the directions you've been giving me. Why
I'm carrying you?
Speaker 10 (16:36):
Sorry, I should know that fireman's carry by. Now, all
I have to do is get you over my right shoulder.
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yep? Oh, come now.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Are you all right, miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Perfect, mister Bodon. You've got a very soft shoulder.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now hang on tight.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's more important that you hang on top.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Here we go, Hey, pretty creaky ladder.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Oh I thought it was me.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Justin a few more rungs, we've set you right down
on good old terra firman there.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Thank you for a very pleasant trip. Good for you,
mister Boyne. That was a perfect tererry, don't you think so,
miss Brooks. I'd do it again in a minute, would I? So?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Long, Walter, just a second, I've got to climb up
to Harriet's room and practice getting some more valuables down
to safety.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Where is Harriet? Walter?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, when mister Boyne and I take our test, they're
going to simulate actual fire conditions.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
So Harriet went to borrow a smudge pot, a smudgepod.
Where are you going to take this test in an
orange grow?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's just to make a lot of smoke. So we
get the feeling that we're really saving somebody.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Oh well, I'll see you in a few minutes. Books.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
Don't carry too much down this trip, Wally. You've got
the driveway loaded with brick or brec Now, okay, how much?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Brooks?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
It's it's quite a nice evening, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yes, it is, especially for this kind of work.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
If you don't mind a third opinion, I think it's
a perfect night for this kind of work.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Why it's a policeman?
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Hello officer, Yes, hello officer. I suppose you'd like an
explanation ast to what we're doing here.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It take your time.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I've already made a wild dead.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
What do you mean?
Speaker 11 (18:29):
The evidence is all around you. Now, let's not waste
each other's time. Where's the getaway car?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Getaway car? Oh officer. You don't think we're common ordinary thieves,
do you?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
On the contrary, I think you're extraordinary.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
You know it isn't everyone who'd put a ladder up
in a driveway right off the street at nine o'clock
at night.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Officer, if you don't understand, I'm a teacher at Madison
High School.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm a teacher at Madison High too.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
Poverty is no excuse. Do you know whose home this is?
You've been looting?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
But Officer, we haven't been looting.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Here I come, and I'm loaded.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Another confederate with a lamp and the base unders are
that happens.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
To be Walter Denzon and he's a student of ours.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's learned his lessons. Well here, let me give you.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
A hands huh, thanks very much.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Oh, I was a sanch I just oh, just the law.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
What are you acting so guilty about? Water?
Speaker 11 (19:35):
He is, Walter, whatever you do, don't act guilty, of.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Course, not just brazen it out? What am I saying?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Come along with me, all of you.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
I'm taking you down to the station. But officer, you've
got to listen.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Good evening, officer, High folks, look.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
What I got another one?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Where have you been working the other side of the house?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Straighten him out, Harriet. He thinks we're a bunch of crooks.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Crooks, but I live here, Officer, I'm Harriet Conklin. And
these are my friends. I just went down the block
to borrow this smudge pot.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Smudge pot, and what are you going to do with that?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I'm going to put it in my bedroom. You beg
dousn't answer your question. You're a disgrace to your uniform.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Off, mister Boynton. Here and my boyfriend Walter have joined
the volunteer fire department and they're just practicing for their
ladder tests. The smudge pot is just to make it
seem more realistic. Well, look, here's my key ring with
my name and.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Address and the key to the front door. Doesn't that
convince you that I live here?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Well, I could have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I guess I beg your pardon, folks.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh that's okay, officer.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Anybody can make a mistake.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
Good night, officer, Not so fast.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I suggest that you'll be a little more careful about
who you go around calling crooks what you are me
And if it happens again, I'll have you back pounding
a beat.
Speaker 11 (21:05):
But I am pounding a beat.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, then I'll see that you get a dirty bed.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, not that we're almost home. I only hope we're
in time.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
But Oz goood driving home in the middle of the
evening like this, I think your suspicions are fantastic. Just
because we find out the Silver Slipper has been closed
for a month, why should you get the wild idea
that Walter and Harriet are eloping.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It came to me in a flash all this morning.
Harriet threatened to run away with that lame brain dunce.
Then Miss Brooks came to my office with that cock
and bull story about seeing Jason Brill at the Silver
Slipper last week. But Roops instigated the whole plot to
get me out of the house tonight.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
But Oz Goood, that's absurd.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
You might just as well say that that Ms Brooks
was going to elope with.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Walter, believe they deserve each other. Well, I'll here we up.
Look what there's a ladder up against Harriet's window. They're
climbing down right now, Come on and right where you are?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
What are you doing home? Sorely?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Never mind that, what are you two up to?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Watch out down there?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's mister Poyson coming down the ladder. But what's that
he's got over.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
His shoulders looks like a sack of meal to me.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's who I think it is. I might as well be.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Here we are, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You're home. Yes, I'm home, and not a minute too
soon from the looks of things.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now, there's no reason to get excited, mister Conklin. We'd
have told you all about it sooner or later.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now, that's extremely decent off. How could you do this water?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Why not? He's had plenty of practice.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
We know why dentants here.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
But you, boy, how did you get into this?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
He just answered a call for volunteers. Volunteers, for sure, and.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
It was the same thing with Walter.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, it looks a lot more dangerous than it is.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
After all. It isn't like I haven't tried it before.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
You've tried it before many times.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But you're so young.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
You're never too young to start.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Poison.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You amaze me, and so do you, Miss Brookes. I
know you're extremely fond of mister Boynton, but just what
did you mean by that remark about volunteers.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Well, it's fairly obvious. I just meant that mister Boynton
will only be called upon in an emergency. An emergency
certainly supposing the regular department is busy, somebody's got to
put out the fire.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I stand a business what are these things doing in
the driveway.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It isn't enough that you were all going to Elope.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You were taking my furniture along to set up housekeeper.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Oh gosh, mister Conklin, we weren't eloping.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Mister Boynan and I were just practicing for our volunteer
fireman's test.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A like miss Torry, What does the fire department need
volunteers for? There are not enough fires in this town
to keep a selfzu bottle busy.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh I don't know, Osgoode. It never hurts to be prepared,
of course not. Now take that smoke that's coming from
Harriet's window for instance.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Smoke, father, it's smoke. Our house is on fire.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
To me, Daddy, don't get so excited. It's the wiot, Harriet.
A man's got a right to get excited when his
house is on fire. Fortunately, mister Boynton is here to
put it right out.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
But that smoke's being caused by never.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Mind the cause, you're the cure, mister Boynton. We'll show
mister Conklin how lucky he is that we happen to
be in the vicinity. Tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Here I go, folks, I'll put out that blaze, don't
you think we should call a regular department.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Now a chief pointing on the jab, go to a chief.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I'm right behind you.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Chief, Miss Brooks, why are you climbing the.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ladder because mister Boynton only knows one way to get down.
There's gonna find a sack of meal in a burning building.
Eve Arden is on.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Miss Brooks returns in just a moment.
Speaker 12 (25:34):
But first, dream Girl, dream Girl, Beautiful luster Cream Girl.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Tonight, Yes, tonight, show him how much lovelier your hair
can look after a luster cream shampoo. Luster Cream World's
finest shampoo. No other shampoo in the world gives you
Kate Duman's magic blend of secret ingredients plus gentle lenolin
better than a so better than a liquid. Luster Cream
is a dainty cream shampoo. Leave's hair three ways lovelier,

special rents needed after a luster cream shampoo. So gentle
luster cream is wonderful even for children's hair. Tonight, Yes, tonight,
try luster cream shampoo.
Speaker 12 (26:26):
Dream Girl, dream Girl, Beautiful Luster Cream Girl. You. Oh,
your crowning Glory too, a luster cream shampoo, and now
once again here is our Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Well, mister Conklin was so relieved when his house didn't
burn down that he let mister Boynton, Walter and myself
go scot free. It was still early, so I suggested,
after we drop Walter off, that mister Boornton could get
a little more experienced climbing up to the roof of
missus Davis's house. Much to my surprise, he agreed.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Not about this fireman's carry, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Let me help mister Barton. First, I put my right
arm over your left shoulder, Then my left arm around
your right shoulder. Now I join my hands behind your neck.
Now hold me tight, mister Barton. Tighter, little tighter please
there that's fine.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
Yes, that does seem about right, Miss Brooks. Where's the ladder?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Ladder? Don't be silly, I kicked that.
Speaker 13 (27:31):
Away long ago, Miss brook show buckle, you buy Muster Team, chambles,
the Grummers, the russible hair and hold his Mettle team

Doctor's proof palm ol of soap can bring you a
lovelier complexion in fourteen days. Yes, thirty six lead skin
specialists proved in tests on twelve hundred and eighty five
different women that Pamalov soap facials using nothing but palm
olive brought new complexion beauty to two women out of free.
Just wash your face three times daily with palmalove soap,
each time for sixty seconds, massaging Pamalov's beauty lather onto
(28:17):
your skin, then rinse and pat dry.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
So start your Palmala facials today.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Remember doctors prove palmalove soap can bring you a lovelier

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Will be with us again next week at the same
time for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks bab
Leaman Speaking. It's a CDF Pondia broadcasting system
Holgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean
your teeth and help stop tooth decay and bluster cream
shampoo for salt, glamorous caressible hair.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Bring you our Miss Brooks, Darring Eve Arden. It's time
once again for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks
under the direction of al lewis Well. The fall semester
is definitely upon us, and our Miss Brooks, who teaches
(00:34):
English at Madison High School, has more or less settled
down to her accustomed routine.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yes, and like many of my fellow teachers, I'm a
firm believer in the old adage early to bed, only
I've switched it a little. I believe that early to bed,
early to rise makes a gal sleepy, poor and bored.
So whenever possible, I try to get some male faculty
member at Madison to take me out for an evening.
Any male faculty member will do, as long as he
(01:02):
teaches biology and his name Philip Boynton. Last Thursday at breakfast,
my landlady asked for a blow by blow.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Weren't you supposed to have a date with mister Boynton
last night, Connie.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yes, missus Davis, I was supposed to but he couldn't
make it.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But Connie, I thought that twice a week you and
mister Boynton will I thought that last night was your
night to howell.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I did howl, but I did howl, But he still
wouldn't take me out. Missus Davis, I'm competing with a
new and dangerous interest.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You mean mister Boynton got another batch of guinea pigs.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
No, he's joined the Volunteer fire Department, And unlike the
old fashioned kind, this group insists on practically the same
tests as regular fireman. They practice at least twice a week. Well,
it was nice to have almost known them.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
But Connie, you can't give up that easily. Even if
mister Boynte is so interested in fire fighting that he
joined the VOLI tears, there is still a way you
can see him start a fire, certainly not. You've simply
got to get interested in the.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Same thing that interests him.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
There's nothing like throwing yourself into a man's work.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Wonder how he'd like me rare or well done?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I'm serious, Connie, You've got to help him with his practice.
What's mister Boyton's current assignment?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The high Ladder Rescue? He gets his tests in a
few days. It consists of lugging a sack of meal
down a ladder.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I've got it. This is your big chance. Surely he'd
prefer you to a second meal.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
As far as mister Boyton's concerned, it's probably optional. Wait
a minute, there is a way I can help out.
He hasn't got a house to put his ladder up against.
Now if I could find one for him.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You're both welcome to this house.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Connie, that's very sweet of you, missus Davis. But where
would you live? Oh, this is only a one story house.
He's got a pretty high ladder.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Then how about your principals home. The Conklins have a
two story house.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Say that's right, But mister Conklin would never let us
use it. He'd be afraid the paint would be scratched
or something. Then use it without his knowing it. Wait
until he goes out for the evening. I suppose he
doesn't go out.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Cannie, who's coming to drag you to school this morning?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Walter?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
And who's Walter's girlfriend?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Harriet Conklin?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And who better than Walter would know how to get
rid of mister Conklin for an evening?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hand me my hatchet and grease up the pole. Here
goes Connie Brooks, girl hotfoot. You certainly take good care
of this car, Walter. Even the windows look spotless. They should.
I took a glass house. But you said when you
(04:02):
first came aboard that there's something you want to ask me?
What is it? Miss Brooks? Well, first of all, you're
still going with Harriet Conklin, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm still trying to, but I haven't seen much of
a hurry at this week, old marblehead. Mister Conklin masers
stay home every night, and worse than that, he stays
home with her, Walter.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'll come right to the point. We've got to get
him out of the house tonight, if only for a
few hours. Why tonight, because mister Boynton's got to practice
ladder rescue. If you ask me what ladder he's gonna rescue,
I'll slug you. You see, mister Boynton's join the volunteer
fire Department. Oh, I know, so have I. I've been
practicing for those tests too. But your folks don't have
(04:44):
a two story house. That's all right. I don't have
a ladder either.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
You boy said I could borrow his as soon as
he finds it place to practice.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Oh good, Now, if we can get mister Conklin out
of the house tonight, we can use his place. Well, frankly, miss.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Brooks, we'd have him much better chance of getting him out.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Of the house three days from now? What happened three
days from now?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Let's one day after his ten day free trial period
on a new television set expires. It's also one day
before his ten day free trial and the next set begins.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Junk order sets on trial. Sure, well, at that rate,
he can keep getting free television till the whole thing
blows over next. What's so tough about tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Plus which, if he thought somebody wanted him to go out,
he'd be doubly sure to stay home.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
He's like a child that way, you know, Perverse, You're right, Walter,
say wait a minute. That gives me an idea. Maybe
we can use child psychology on him. What happens when
you tell a kid he must eat his spinach? Would
you mind using another vegetable?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Don't you see, Walter, some people just naturally resents suggestion.
I get it.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
If you say mister Cocklan is sick, he'll say as well.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Or if you insist you ought to stay home, he'll
want to go out.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Miss Brooks, You've got something, thanks, Walter, and when.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You find out what it is, be sure and let
mister Boynton.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
How many times must I tell you, Harriet, that the
principal's office is not the place to discuss personal matters.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
But Daddy, I just want to know if Walter Danton
can come over to our house tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And the answer, as it has been for the past
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Is no.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Daddy, you're frustrating me. Don't you see how deeply I
care for Walter. Don't you realize that someday we're.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Going to be married. Married, it's no use arguing.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Father Mothers often told me that when she had her
mind made up to marry you, nothing could change it, not.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Even me, Harriet. This is a school, not a lonesome
hearts cloud. I don't want you seeing Denton and that's final.
Now get ready for your first class.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
All right, Daddy, I'll go, But remember this, Nothing or
nobody can keep Water and me apart indefinitely. Love will
find a way for us, as it has for others.
Even if we have to Elope, We'll someday somehow.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Good morning, Harriet. Good morning, Father, Good morning Harriet. Goodbye,
Miss Brooks.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Walter Denton. Miss Brooks, I'd like to put a question
to you as a woman.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
One minute, I'll get in the mood. What's the question,
mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What can a girl possibly see in Walter Denton.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, that's hard to say, mister Conklin. Different people see
different things in each one of us. For instance, I'm
sure that certain girls can see as much in Walter
a certain and me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, that's a relief now that. What did you want
to see me about, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I just wanted to know if I could stop by
your house tonight. I'd like to discuss a few changes
in curriculum.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, yes, I suppose you can see me tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Of course, it doesn't have to be tonight. I know
you're home practically every night.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's true.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
When I get home after a day's work, I like
to stay put.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
My grandmother was the same way. Wild horses couldn't get
her out of the house once she started nudging seventy.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I'm sure that my reasons for staying at home differ
greatly from those of your grandmother. I have my books,
my family, and other cultural pursuits.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh, I know, who do you like in the wrestling
match tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, I think Tiger Schlepkovitch will crashure the Devil.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Match see too. Isn't television a great boon?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, it is, especially.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
To those who don't get around much anymore, Miss Brooks.
I don't blame people of advancing years for staying home evenings.
After all, it's nice to be within easy reach of
your favorite chair, your pipe and slippers, your doctor's phone number,
(09:25):
my touts.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Miss Brooks, The reasons I have for staying at home
have nothing to do with the advancing years or ill health.
I could do anything today that I could do ten
years ago. I could go out every night of the
week if I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I must admire your spirit, sir, But after all, I'm
sure that wouldn't be necessary, not as far as your
wife is concerned. Although and almost any woman would get
just the tiniest bit envious if she heard that a
young principle like Jason Brill takes his wife dancing twice
a week.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Jason Brill dancing.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Only last Friday evening. I saw him at the Silver
Slipper Cafe.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The Silver Slipper.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Did he say anything about me?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Why? Yes, come to think of it, he did. I
think he said, how's old stick in the mud?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Os good? What white guy him?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yep?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Well you don't have to bite my head off?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
Don't? Dare me you will?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Who's you?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Darling?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
I forgot to mention it before you left this morning.
But this is my thorough cleaning day and you'll have
to pick up some things for dinner tonight.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
All right, Martha, just a second, Why should we have
to do any shopping today? We're going out to dinner.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
What did you say, dear?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I said we're going out to dinner?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
OS good?
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I think we have a bad connection.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
What's bad about it? I can hear you perfectly, I know, dear,
But for.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
A moment there, I thought you said we were going
out to dinner.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's exactly what I did say.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
But isn't it a little early to be celebrating our anniversary?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is until June?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Matha, Matha? We're going out to dinner and then we're
going to the Silver Slipper to dance.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Goodbye, well, goodbye?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Too old to go dancing, am I? Miss Brooks? What
was it, Jason Brill called me again.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I can't be sure, but I think it was.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Let's live a little Osgodes.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Brooks barring eve Arden will continue in just a moment,
but first, here is Verne Smith. Reader's Digest reports the
results of one of the most extensive experiments in Dennifer's history. Yes,
Reader's Digest reports the very same research which proves brushing
teeth right after eating with Coldgate dental cream stops tooth decay, Bess,
and here are additional important facts. Over a two year period,
(11:54):
the colgateway stopped more decay for more people than ever
before reported in Dennifer's history. Yes, the coal gateway of
brushing teeth right after eating stop tooth decay best better
than any other home method of oral hygiene.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Even more important, there were no new cavities whatever for
more than one out.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Of three who used coal gates as directed.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
No other natifris ammoniated or not has proof of such results,
the best results ever reported for a natifrice of any type.
And you should know that Colgate danl cream, while not
mentioned by name, was the only tooth faste used in
the research reported in July readers Digest, Yes, Colgate Dentel cream,
and only Colgate Dental Cream was used in this research.
(12:37):
So always use coal gates to clean your breath while
you clean your teeth. And when you follow the coal gateway,
Colgate Denttle cream stops tooth decay. Best well.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Lunch period and I arrived at the school cafeteria at
the same time, and by an unusual daily coincidence, I
found myself sitting opposite mister Boynton. I was so pleased
that the way I'd secured a place for him to
practice for his firefighting test that I could hardly wait
to tell him about it, So I didn't. Mister Boynton,
I found a place for you to practice your ladder rescue.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
My ladder rescue. That's wonderful, Miss Brooks. But I didn't
know you were so interested in the VFL VFL Volunteer
fire laddies.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Oh I am, mister Boynton. I think putting out fires
is wonderful, so much better than just letting them go on.
But aren't you going to ask me who's home we're
honoring with your ladder tonight?
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Yes, who's the Conklin? The Conklins? Oh, Miss Brooks, you
know how mister Conklin stands on.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Extracurricular activities even though I feel it's my civic duty
to participate.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Mister Conklin would.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Mister Conklin isn't going to know about it. He and
missus Conklind are going out for the evening, you see,
mister Boynton, I'd like to assist you tonight.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
What can you do, miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, there's no law that says you have to carry
a sack of me down the ladder, is there?
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Certainly not.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
I could carry a sack of flour, a sack of potatoes,
or an old mattress barrel.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You're getting warmer, Look, mister boy I know how important
this test is to you, and I want to help you.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Oh that's all right, Miss Brooks. I can carry the
sack down by myself.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
This boy isn't paying attention, mister Boydan. What I had
in mind was something more practical for you to rehearse.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
With, Like what like me?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
You could carry me down the ladder? After all, I
don't weigh any more than a sack of meal.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Well, that's true, and both your general shapes.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm sure it would work out fine. Mister.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
I don't know, it's pretty risky.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
After all, it's a big difference between having a sack
of meal over my shoulder you're having you over my shoulder.
I can't tell you exactly what it is, but I
know there's a difference.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
If as and when you find out what that difference is,
you're going to be one surprised fire ladder.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
Certainly, nice of Harriet Conklin to let me use her
room for this ladder practice.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
But I hope her folks don't come home.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Oh they won't. Mister Conklin's whooping it up tonight, probably
painting the town gray. Besides, Walter Denton will be practicing
with us.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
We are well chaperone.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
If you're going to pass your test, mister Boynant, we'd
better start. Uh huh, looks pretty far down to the
ground from here.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
Oh, it's only two stories, and I'll be very careful
how I hold you, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
We'll use the fireman's carry. First.
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Put both your arms over my left shoulder. No, no, no,
let's see. Put your left arm over my right shoulder
while I put my right arm under your left one,
and place my left leg on the second rung of
the ladder. Now, your right leg goes to the right
of mind over the window still and.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Missus Brooks.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes, mister Boydon, did you.
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Notice what happened to my left arm?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It's right here, mister b But I think there's something
slightly wrong with the directions you've been giving me. Why
I'm carrying you?
Speaker 10 (16:36):
Sorry, I should know that fireman's carry by. Now, all
I have to do is get you over my right shoulder.
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yep? Oh, come now.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Are you all right, miss Brooks?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Perfect, mister Bodon. You've got a very soft shoulder.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now hang on tight.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's more important that you hang on top.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Here we go, Hey, pretty creaky ladder.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Oh I thought it was me.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Justin a few more rungs, we've set you right down
on good old terra firman there.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Thank you for a very pleasant trip. Good for you,
mister Boyne. That was a perfect tererry, don't you think so,
miss Brooks. I'd do it again in a minute, would I? So?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Long, Walter, just a second, I've got to climb up
to Harriet's room and practice getting some more valuables down
to safety.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Where is Harriet? Walter?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Well, when mister Boyne and I take our test, they're
going to simulate actual fire conditions.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
So Harriet went to borrow a smudge pot, a smudgepod.
Where are you going to take this test in an
orange grow?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's just to make a lot of smoke. So we
get the feeling that we're really saving somebody.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Oh well, I'll see you in a few minutes. Books.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
Don't carry too much down this trip, Wally. You've got
the driveway loaded with brick or brec Now, okay, how much?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Brooks?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
It's it's quite a nice evening, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yes, it is, especially for this kind of work.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
If you don't mind a third opinion, I think it's
a perfect night for this kind of work.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Why it's a policeman?
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Hello officer, Yes, hello officer. I suppose you'd like an
explanation ast to what we're doing here.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It take your time.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I've already made a wild dead.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
What do you mean?
Speaker 11 (18:29):
The evidence is all around you. Now, let's not waste
each other's time. Where's the getaway car?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Getaway car? Oh officer. You don't think we're common ordinary thieves,
do you?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
On the contrary, I think you're extraordinary.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
You know it isn't everyone who'd put a ladder up
in a driveway right off the street at nine o'clock
at night.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Officer, if you don't understand, I'm a teacher at Madison
High School.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm a teacher at Madison High too.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
Poverty is no excuse. Do you know whose home this is?
You've been looting?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
But Officer, we haven't been looting.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Here I come, and I'm loaded.
Speaker 11 (19:14):
Another confederate with a lamp and the base unders are
that happens.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
To be Walter Denzon and he's a student of ours.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's learned his lessons. Well here, let me give you.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
A hands huh, thanks very much.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Oh, I was a sanch I just oh, just the law.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
What are you acting so guilty about? Water?
Speaker 11 (19:35):
He is, Walter, whatever you do, don't act guilty, of.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Course, not just brazen it out? What am I saying?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Come along with me, all of you.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
I'm taking you down to the station. But officer, you've
got to listen.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Good evening, officer, High folks, look.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
What I got another one?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Where have you been working the other side of the house?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Straighten him out, Harriet. He thinks we're a bunch of crooks.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Crooks, but I live here, Officer, I'm Harriet Conklin. And
these are my friends. I just went down the block
to borrow this smudge pot.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Smudge pot, and what are you going to do with that?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I'm going to put it in my bedroom. You beg
dousn't answer your question. You're a disgrace to your uniform.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Off, mister Boynton. Here and my boyfriend Walter have joined
the volunteer fire department and they're just practicing for their
ladder tests. The smudge pot is just to make it
seem more realistic. Well, look, here's my key ring with
my name and.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Address and the key to the front door. Doesn't that
convince you that I live here?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Well, I could have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I guess I beg your pardon, folks.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh that's okay, officer.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Anybody can make a mistake.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
Good night, officer, Not so fast.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I suggest that you'll be a little more careful about
who you go around calling crooks what you are me
And if it happens again, I'll have you back pounding
a beat.
Speaker 11 (21:05):
But I am pounding a beat.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, then I'll see that you get a dirty bed.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, not that we're almost home. I only hope we're
in time.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
But Oz goood driving home in the middle of the
evening like this, I think your suspicions are fantastic. Just
because we find out the Silver Slipper has been closed
for a month, why should you get the wild idea
that Walter and Harriet are eloping.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It came to me in a flash all this morning.
Harriet threatened to run away with that lame brain dunce.
Then Miss Brooks came to my office with that cock
and bull story about seeing Jason Brill at the Silver
Slipper last week. But Roops instigated the whole plot to
get me out of the house tonight.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
But Oz Goood, that's absurd.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
You might just as well say that that Ms Brooks
was going to elope with.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Walter, believe they deserve each other. Well, I'll here we up.
Look what there's a ladder up against Harriet's window. They're
climbing down right now, Come on and right where you are?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
What are you doing home? Sorely?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Never mind that, what are you two up to?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Watch out down there?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
That's mister Poyson coming down the ladder. But what's that
he's got over.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
His shoulders looks like a sack of meal to me.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's who I think it is. I might as well be.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Here we are, mister Conklin.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You're home. Yes, I'm home, and not a minute too
soon from the looks of things.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now, there's no reason to get excited, mister Conklin. We'd
have told you all about it sooner or later.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now, that's extremely decent off. How could you do this water?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Why not? He's had plenty of practice.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
We know why dentants here.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
But you, boy, how did you get into this?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
He just answered a call for volunteers. Volunteers, for sure, and.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
It was the same thing with Walter.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, it looks a lot more dangerous than it is.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
After all. It isn't like I haven't tried it before.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
You've tried it before many times.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But you're so young.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
You're never too young to start.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Poison.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You amaze me, and so do you, Miss Brookes. I
know you're extremely fond of mister Boynton, but just what
did you mean by that remark about volunteers.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Well, it's fairly obvious. I just meant that mister Boynton
will only be called upon in an emergency. An emergency
certainly supposing the regular department is busy, somebody's got to
put out the fire.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I stand a business what are these things doing in
the driveway.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It isn't enough that you were all going to Elope.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You were taking my furniture along to set up housekeeper.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Oh gosh, mister Conklin, we weren't eloping.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Mister Boynan and I were just practicing for our volunteer
fireman's test.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A like miss Torry, What does the fire department need
volunteers for? There are not enough fires in this town
to keep a selfzu bottle busy.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh I don't know, Osgoode. It never hurts to be prepared,
of course not. Now take that smoke that's coming from
Harriet's window for instance.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Smoke, father, it's smoke. Our house is on fire.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
To me, Daddy, don't get so excited. It's the wiot, Harriet.
A man's got a right to get excited when his
house is on fire. Fortunately, mister Boynton is here to
put it right out.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
But that smoke's being caused by never.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Mind the cause, you're the cure, mister Boynton. We'll show
mister Conklin how lucky he is that we happen to
be in the vicinity. Tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Here I go, folks, I'll put out that blaze, don't
you think we should call a regular department.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Now a chief pointing on the jab, go to a chief.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I'm right behind you.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Chief, Miss Brooks, why are you climbing the.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ladder because mister Boynton only knows one way to get down.
There's gonna find a sack of meal in a burning building.
Eve Arden is on.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Miss Brooks returns in just a moment.
Speaker 12 (25:34):

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Well, mister Conklin was so relieved when his house didn't
burn down that he let mister Boynton, Walter and myself
go scot free. It was still early, so I suggested,
after we drop Walter off, that mister Boornton could get
a little more experienced climbing up to the roof of
missus Davis's house. Much to my surprise, he agreed.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Not about this fireman's carry, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Let me help mister Barton. First, I put my right
arm over your left shoulder, Then my left arm around
your right shoulder. Now I join my hands behind your neck.
