day John, you will be upset. If you get to liking in too
much, you'll be there. We'llhearack too of Shane in a moment.

(16:18):
With our American servicemen, in manycountries around the world, they have a
wonderful opportunity to observe new customs andtraditions. What might have seemed strange before
is becoming pretty familiar to them.For instance, take this business of superstitions
or omens. In Holland and Germany, if you meet a left handed person
on a Tuesday morning, that's abad omen. In Sweden, if you

(16:41):
turn around when starting out in abusiness trip, so I will it turn
out badly? German girls place theirshoes at right angles with the side of
their beds to bring a visit fromtheir sweethearts. And in Japan and the
Far East there is a superstition tocover practically every event of the day.
All these things might sound strange,but as our servicemen have observed, we

(17:02):
have plenty of superstitions too. Let'sjust count some of the things that are
lucky or finding a horseshoe lucky,wily plover lucky, black cat, crossing
your path unlucky, walking under aladder unlucky, breaking a mirror seven years
bad luck. Spilling salt unlucky unlessyou throw some over your left shoulder,

(17:25):
Knocking on a wood lucky, arabbit's foot lucky. All those are just
a few of them. Lots ofpeople carry a lucky coin or a charm
of some sort. All of ushave a lucky number, and whenever we
have something good happen to us,we know it's our lucky day. People
a world over are great believers inthis business of luck. That's all the
superstitions are based on. They're eithermeant to bring on good luck or keep

(17:48):
bad luck away. According to thecustoms and traditions of your own people,
you do certain things to try toinfluence that luck. Now, the way
of doing things may vary between differentpeople, the ideals are the same.
These customs are important to the peoplewho follow them. Our service men are
hoping to maintain good will by observingthe customs of other people in other lands.

(18:12):
Now, our producer, mister CummingsAct two of Shame, starring Alan
Ladder in the title role and VanHeflena's start and Ruth Hussey asked Marian.
Saturday came and with it the homesteader'sweekly shopping trip to Grafton's general store.

(18:33):

Marion's got the shop unless you haveone team for sure, be in the
Pentagon party to make firework? Whatkind of fireworks for big celebration Fourth of
July and your spirts vending anniversary allthe same way. That's right, amen,

barrel head? Would you like towork for me? I'm done working for
others. I'll pay your top wages. You can run your cattle with mine.
And what's more, I'll buy yourhomes. I'm not interested in sat
a price you think is reasonable.Started you'll find me reasonable too. You
can't force me to do anything,Rufe, because I'm in the right.

(30:23):
You, what do you know aboutright? I come to this country when
you weren't much old living, andthat boy yours there, we had some
rough times. Cattle we brought in, hazed off the Indians and rustlers.
I still got a bad shoulder froma shy on arrowhead. And people move

(30:44):
in and fence off my range,fence me off from water, and I
gotta keep moving my stock. Andyou say we got no right to the
range. No right. I'm notbelittling you, riker, but you didn't
find this country. There were trappershere, and there were Indian traders long
before or you showed up. Theytamed this country a lot more than you
did. Do you think you've gotthe right to say that nobody else has

(31:06):
got any Well, that ain't theway the government looks at it, all
right, that's your answer to me, that's my answer. Then you They
don't give a man much choice,all right, Wilson. Let's go Shane,

(31:26):
that fellow with Riker. Yeah,yeah, it's Wilson, all right.
When I was talking about what doyou think Riker once with him?
Well that's not too hard to figure. Wilson's got only one lineup business,
and it ain't punching cows. Ilike start. But I tell you,

(32:00):
Julie, but if I have to, you mean, I'll kill him if
you have to. That's just whathe means a Ruth. Oh, I
can't have any run in with thelaw. Grafton's watching the center. Well,
lucky there, lucky there. Itwasn't GM here. You're true,

(32:20):
Rufe. A couple of those subbusted. Yeah, Shipstead and Stonewall carry
maybe I had to take care ofNo. Oh, this isn't the time.
I'm not ready yet. How longare you gonna keep on waiting?

(32:42):
Ruth? Let me gun him.When word gets around the rest of the
pack, I'll stampede out of here. I don't know it'd be easy.
It's gotta look right, will itwill? How about it? All right?

(33:06):
Hey? Yo, are you talkingto me? Huh man, No,
don't you go on to the Blacks. No Tory, No, see
I hear they cut you. Stonewall. You're going wrong with that and then

(33:27):
a lot of that sudden trash afterOld Stonewall, maybe because old Stonewall Jackson
was trash himself, and League andall the rest of them read you two,
you're a low down lying yankee.No, no, I will boy

(33:52):
one less sidbusting. Wait a minute, not so fast. But the new
man shot him that that Willison.I'll be across the street and see you
didn't hear what they're arguing about.No, no, I hit only the
anger in the woods. Then Toryreach what he's gone, But the new

(34:15):
man is kick terrible quick home shot. Tory is dead. Mom shot,
poor man and poor missus. Toryand the children marrying you get ready,
I'll take you over to stay withher. I already tell her yo,
I see her, and it right, and Yanson on my way over.
I tell them too, and theyscared. They say they leave the valley

(34:37):
right now. Maybe they won't haveto, Shane go hitch up that wagon
going to town. Yes, no, Joe, I won't let Junior later
marrying. Somebody's got to go,maybe, but not now. No,
you can't go alone. The othersare all in this too. You said

(34:58):
so yourself, Joe, You Isaid you'd all have to act together,
rightchel, and you're for getting somethingelse quite Tory's funeral. First things ought
to come first, all right,first tories funeral, but after that,

(35:19):
after that chain, I'm making nopromises in a moment Act three of shame.
Make a friend and you make anally. There's a thought for you
to keep in mind, as manyanother American has. Since the end of

(35:39):
World War Two, many American citieshave adopted European ones, mainly through the
work of a citizen group in NewYork called Operation Democracy. One of the
greatest ties of friendship has been madebetween American cities and towns in Holland.
The people of the American cities supplytheir Dutch friends with clothing, food,

(36:00):
and during the floods early in nineteenfifty three. The Americans won the undying
gratitude of the Hollanders for their help. Several of the American communities have raised
money to send a community ambassador tovisit the European town they've adopted, and
the children keep up a two waycorrespondence. To date, several hundred towns
in the United States are in contactwith others overseas, and the number is

(36:22):
steadily increasing. These contacts include townsin thirteen European countries, as well as
Japan and Hawaii. Recently, threemore countries were added, Norway, Yugoslavia
and India, and arrangements have beenstarted to include Turkey, Spain, and
Peru. Americans in every walk oflife have done something to satisfy their desire

(36:45):
for international friendship, and you toocan learn as they did that by helping
others, you help your country.We pause now for station identification. The

(37:16):
curtain rises on Act three of Shames, starring Alan Ladd in the title role.
Van Heffern has start and Ruth Husseyasked married a lonely WinCE wept hilltop.
A dozen men and women pay theirlast respects to Stonewall Toll as we

(37:42):
