Harriet, Harriet, would you please, if you'll acquire an expression,
stop the music for a second. Good take a look
at this ad in Life magazine.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes, I saw that. Isn't that joan of arc pattern?
Simply beautiful?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That's what I mean? No wonder everybody says. The solid
silver with beauty that lives Forever is International Sterling.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
The solid silver with beauty that Lives Forever is International Sterling.

From Hollywood International Silver.

Company, creators of International Sterling, presents the inventors of Ozzie Harriet,
starring America's favorite.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Young couple, Ozzy Knowlson and Harriet hit Here.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's a pleasant family scene we find in the living
room of the Nelsons.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
At eighteen forty seven.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Rogers roll fire in the fireplace, Nick the dog stretched
out on the.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Horn, Ozzy on the couch reading the evening.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Paper, and Harriet curled up in the easy chair with
a basket of Menday.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
This is a life Look.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Here, dear, what is it? I want you to see?
What happens to Ricky's trousers?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Gee, they're getting pretty thin? How can you wear them
out that way? He never sits down? Throw the boys
out in.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The kitchen and they could stay up a little longer
if they promised to do their homework.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Aren't these David's books here on the table?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
What are you.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Fellas doing out there?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Just get the cracker?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Why don't you go out and take a look there?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Okay, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Boys?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well?
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Pop, this is a neat book.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Wait a minute, what's the idea of reading comic books?
Speaker 8 (02:23):
Pop?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
These aren't ordinary comic books. They're educational.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I suppose this first story is educational. Tommy Skunk lets
them have it.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
That's a swell story, Pop, Tommy Skunk.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Never mind, Why aren't your boys doing your homework?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
You don't understand, Pop.
Speaker 8 (02:43):
See we're supposed to do a composition.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
On animals and birds and stuff. Then these comic books
tell you all about it. They're very educational.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Where gonna read our school books too?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Pop? Well, nevertheless, you promised to get right at your
homework after dinner. I thought I promised met a little
more to you guys than something to be said and forgotten.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
We didn't mean to our promise, Pop, We didn't think
you'd catch us. I don't think you understand, Pop. The
teacher told us to get these comic books they're very instructive.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, I can say is school certainly is a lot
different than it was when I was a boy.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
State's a lot better, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I'm not too sure, Ricky.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Back in those days, everybody walked ten miles from snow.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, that's not what I mean. When I went to school,
we didn't have to learn about nature out of comic books.
We wanted to learn about animals and trees and plants.
We went right out into the woods.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Yeah, Pop, but that was back in the old days.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, they weren't the old days. It wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
We don't have any woods around here.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Of course we do.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
There are plenty of woods around here. The hills are
covered with trees.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All was easier for you, Pop.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Grandma Nelson told us that your pap used to take
you on hikes in the woods.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yes, that's true. He did many in the afternoon. I
remember Papa had come in and say, let's go, boys,
we're taking hike. If we'd go up to the pines
or up to Phelps Woods.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'll bet you had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I we sure did. There weren't many dads like my father.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
They don't any know at all. Gee, pomp, why don't
you ever take.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Us on hikes?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well I will, it's it's just a boy. When can
we go anytime? It does?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Let's go tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well can we fuk?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Can we go tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well i'll see.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
Maybe that's a promise.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, it's a promise.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Do you think we'll catch a skunk?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You don't catch a skunk, Ricky, You run in the
opposite direction. Why because they have awfully sharp teeth. Now,
come on, let's get off that homework. And I mean
the real school books, the spelling and stuff. Okay, m
(05:05):
bacon smells good.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I was beginning to get worried. About an hour ago.
I heard you say you were getting up.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I was.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was cold, and I wanted another blanket.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You better get a blanket for the eggs. They're cold too.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
The boys eating yet oh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Hours ago they're upstairs changing their.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Clothes, changing their clothes for what they're.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Going hiking today.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh, that's a nice day for a hike.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Me. I think I'll do a few things around the house.
Maybe i'll try out that new couch on the porch.
Looks pretty comfortable.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Perhaps I didn't hear the boys correctly, But aren't you
taking them up to Indian Springs for a hike or something?
They said you promised them you would.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I promised, Oh all that. Oh, well, we were just
talking last night. I don't think it was anything definite.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They're upstairs getting out there camping stuff. They seem to
think they're going today.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
See maybe I did mention that we might take a
trip up there. Oh, they'll forget all about it. You
know how they are enthusiastic about something, and ten minutes
later it's all forgotten.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I seemed pretty enthusiastic about the hype.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, you know how they change from one minute to
the next. Remember last summer that rocket ship they were
gonna build and fly to the moon in it? I
never did go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I hope they won't be disappointed when they find out
you aren't going to take them.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Who said anything about not taking them?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They still want to go. After I finished breakfast, I'll
be only too glad to take.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh that's wonderful, dear. I'm sure they want to go.
They've been talking about it all morning.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
As a matter of fact, it will probably be a
lot of fun for me too.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Get a little exercise some of that clear mountain.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
There hear the brown leaves crunching under my feet.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Oh, isn't it lucky?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It the matter?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed the sound of crunching.
I just burned the toes.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Hies. Well, what a coincidence. It was just on my
way over to see you.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh gee, I'm awful, sorry thorny, But as a matter
of fact, I'm a little short myself this week.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oz, Please, I just came over to pay a little
navally visit.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Here, have a cigar?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh, is captain? I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean, are you no?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
There's no special occasion.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Here? Enjoy a good smoke. What's the matter with it?
Nothing's the matter with it? Golly, can't a man offer
his neighbor a cigar without going through a third degree?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, don't forget. I know you pretty well. You're sure
it's not gonna explode or something.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'll please I you have my word for it. Just
a plain cigar. As a matter of fact, my boy
Will bought it for me. Will isn't he a little
young for cigars? I promised to do him a little
favor this afternoon. He brought them for me to show
his appreciation.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't think I've ever seen this brand before.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Trase kind of strong.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oh what a rope. This is evil thought. Please, I
don't throw it away. Will maybe watching from the wind.
I don't want to hurt his feelings.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, I know, Thorny, but it smells like burning rubber
or something.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, the boy's young yet, it doesn't know one cigar
from another. But the thought was there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I promise to spend the afternoon with my kids too,
but I certainly hope they aren't out buying me cigars.
You know you and I are different, Thorny, But most
parents don't realize how important it is to spend time
with their children.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh sure, especially boys.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You'll find that the average boy patterns his entire behavior
after his father.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Oh, no question about it.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That's the reason we've got to be careful to set
I'm a good example.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, I always say what.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think you're right about that cigar ows it smells horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I think so many parents make a mistake when they
make casual promises their kids and then wriggle out of
them in one way or another.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's no good and then the parent. I think you
can throw that away. Oz Will probably isn't watching that? Okay,
it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Take me, for instance, I promised to take my boys
on a hike this afternoon, and nothing in the world
could keep me from it.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Hike, as old man? You mean to stand there with
that awful cigar in.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Your mount and tell me you don't know about the
big professional football.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Game this afternoon football game?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I sure down the stadium? Is that next week? Of course?
Notice this afternoon?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Well I thought it was next week.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I wonder if it's too late to get tickets.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
How can you go? You promise to take the boys hiking?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, yes, but I'm sure they'd rather go to the
football game. Don't you think I.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Don't know us? Did? They seem very infused about the hike?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh yeah, as a matter of fact, Harriet said, they've
been talking about it all morning. Why don't I just
ask them which they'd rather do? But don't you think
it's a little unfair of the minds in what way?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, naturally they'd know you'd rather go to a football game,
so they'd probably give up the hike just to make
you happy.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But inside they'd feel that their pop let them done.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You really think so?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh? Yes, I do, Oz A promise is a big
thing to a kid. Remember once my grandfather promised to
take me fishing, and the last minute he changed his
mind and took me to a movie instead, a Tazan.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Picture, and you never quite forgave him.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Not only that, I've never felt the same about Elmo
Lincoln since that day. I don't seem to enjoy his
pictures as much.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, I see it, Elmo Lincoln. He hasn't made a
picture in years and years they haven't shown No.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Oh, didn't I tell you why we got a television?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Said? Oh, I think you're right about the promise, though
I'm sure of it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oz. What's one football game compared to setting the right
example for David and Ricky?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I don't know what I could have been thinking of.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
A promise is a promise, That's the.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Way I look at it, Oz.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Even if we don't have a good time this afternoon,
we'll have.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
The satisfaction of knowing that we've kept our promises to
our boys.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, where did you promise to take Will?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I was a little smarter than you were, Oz, I
promised to take Will to the football game.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Mom, Yes, dear, we've been wondering.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Mom, is pop pretty good about keeping promises.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, if you're worried about him taking you on the hike,
he's looking.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Forward to it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh geez, what kind of talk is this?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Will Thornberry just said there's a professional football game today,
his father's.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Taking him to the game, and all we get is
an old hike.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, I'm surprised at you two guys.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I think you have a pretty nice dad.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, it isn't every father who's good.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
Enough to take his boys hiking. You don't want to
hurt the feelings, do you.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Well, Golley, no, But do you think if we told
him we'd rather see the game than go hiking, and
it'd hurt his feelings?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You're taking a chance.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Let's take a chance, Stephen.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
No, Ricky, we don't want to hurt Pop's feelings.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'll tell you what she could do. He might just
hint that if he'd rather go to the football game,
you'd be willing to postpone the.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Hike, Hi, Pop.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh, beautiful weather for a hike, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Yeah, I stayed for a football game too, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The boys have just heard that there's going to be
a big football game at the stadium today and they
thought that if you'd like to postpone the hike, well
they'd understand.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
We know how much you like football.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh, come now, boys, do you think your old dad
would break his promise? Sides on a beautiful day like this,
who wants to sit in the crowded stadium and watch
a football game?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Shut up, ricky, Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Sir, this is a perfect day for a football for
the I mean, this is a day for a hike
in the pants, the hike in the woods. What I
mean is we can go to a football game any day,
but a hike is something that well, Indian Springs. You
can just imagine how beautiful it is up there at
Indian Springs, Indians.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
And Springs, Well we just thought of.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Thanks very much, Froz. But don't you worry. Your old
dad isn't going to let you down, No, Surrey, A
promise is a promise. What silver pattern has had scores
(13:15):
of letters written about it? What silver pattern have women
all over the country been waiting for? What silver pattern
is back once again in a triumphant return to make
a thousand dreams come true? The answer International Sterling superb
(13:36):
Joan of Arc, Yes, Joan of Arc is back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Once again.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The silver pattern you wrote about waited for Green Dog,
one of the most magnificent patterns ever to come from
the hands of the famous International Sterling craftsman. Every detail
is fit, needs to perfection back as well as front,
and each piece is crowned with a gleaming classical shell ornament.
Here in every way is solid silver at its loveliest.
(14:10):
You'll agree when you see Joan of Arc at your
International Sterling dealers, so don't miss it tomorrow. See Joan
of Arc the silver pattern you asked for, created by
International Sterling. Ever since Ozzie Nelson was a little boy,
(14:37):
his parents taught him courage, determination, and a sense of honor.
These are the virtues it takes to keep a promise.
When little Oswald was eight years old, he was courageous, Look.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
At me, Shah, I can eat worm.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
When he was twelve years old, he was determined, don't.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Worry, Mama's finished eating this piece of chocolate cake.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
More.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
When he was sixteen, he had a highly developed sense
of honor.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Gwendolen, I must confess, before I met you, I kissed
another girl out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yes, Ozzie learned early. At nineteen, he made his first
important promise.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I promised to pay the Blue Sky Auto Finance Company
the sum of thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And he kept his promise. In fact, that finance company
made sure of it. And so the Ozzie Nelson of
today has the same grim determination to keep his promise.
He's out in the garage now, dusting off his hiking boots. Meanwhile,
Harriet has put in her daily call to her mother.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Hello, Hello, mother, Harriet, Oh, hello dear, how are you?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Not so good?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Dear?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
My feet hurt and I feel.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
A headache coming on.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Have you taken an ash print?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (15:56):
But my feet still hurt.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
So much?
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Is that modern art exhibit today? And I warn you, dear, don't.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Go that bad redful?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Simply a collection of three cornered apples, women with.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Six arms and purple hair.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
The only thing in a frame that made sense turned
out to be the fire hose.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Today's the last day's exhibit, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Thank goodness? Oh, I'm glad you told me Ozzy promised
to take me, But now I won't insist on it.
How is Ozzie, dear?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Oh he's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He and the boys are going on a hike today today.
Is he going to this football game.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
No, he seems to prefer the hike.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
Really, that doesn't sound like Ozzy.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, frankly, I think he really wants to go to
the game, but he's just sticking to his promise.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You know, it's silly because the boys want to go
to the game too.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Well, dear, if Ozzy wants to go to the game
and the boys want to go to the game, why
don't they just go to the game and forget about
the hike.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
It sounds simple, It's.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
As simple as ABC.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But this is an x y Z family. I guess
they'll all go on the high can be perfectly miserable,
just so Ozzie can probe he keeps his promises.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
But you just said he promised to take you to
the odd Exhibit.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yes, but he can't because it's closing today and last
night he promised the boys. Huh oh, mother, I have
a wonderful idea. Would you like to hear it now?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Harriet? If it's some plan to trick Ozzie.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
I don't want to hear about it, okay, mother. You
know I never like to interfere in your little family squabbles,
so i'd rather you.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, hold you again, goodbye, mother, because it.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
To insist and you feel that you need my advice.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Harriet, Harriet, operator operator, we've been disconnected.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Mom?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
I think I know how you can go to the
football game today. Oh, I'm not promising mine, just just
an idea.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Oh boy, David Moll's got an idea.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Well, don't say this if it was the first one
I ever had.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
What's your idea?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Mom?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, listen to this.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Daddy doesn't want to break his promise to take you hiking,
But it just happens that he made a promise to me. Gee,
are you stuck to No, it's justn't or here he comes, boys,
let me do the talking.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, come on, fellows, get on your hiking clothes.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Here.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
I'm terribly sorry, but I think you've forgotten something.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well I don't think so. Here's my hatchet, my canteen,
my tool kit, my collapsible drinking cup.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
No, I don't mean anything like that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
There.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean you made a promise to me.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What's that?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Remember?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Do you promise to.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Take me to the Modern Art Exhibit?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Whatever day I wanted to go?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I promise that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yes, don't you remember one night last week?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, we'll go sometime next week.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Today's the last day.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Oh that's a shame. Well, it'll probably be around another
year or two.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
No, Dear, you promised to take me. A promise is
a promise, But.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Harriet, I'm taking the boys on a hike.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
You'll have to postpone the hike. A previous promise eliminates
any promise made later.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That's the law. That's the law, David.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You don't hit the table with that walnut cracker. Try
if the boys are looking forward to this hike, aren't
your fellows.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Oh that's okay, Pop, you go ahead and take mom to.
Speaker 8 (19:10):

You're hungry.

You must know I won't but you must eat.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I won't sell it, I'll eat it.

way of emmy lou you're all confused.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm going to the art exhibit just to look at
the pictures, but I don't want to go even well, then,
why are you going? Because I promise Missus Nelson.
Speaker 5 (22:05):

Is that being fair to missus Nelson?

She wants you to take her to the art gallery,
and you're being needed by you want yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
What happened to the kind, gentle, loving mister Nelson.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He's at the football game.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
With your change.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
If you do something you don't believe in it, think
of your wife, mister Nelson, use the Santaslavsky method.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What has Stanislavsky been thinking of my wife?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
It's a dramatic technique. You keep repeating something until you
believe it. For instance, you say you're a leaf until
you actually believe you are leaf. You can do the
same thing with the art exhibit. Keep saying I want
to go to the art exhibit until you want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want to go to the art exhibit. I want
to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well, I think I'll try on a leaf.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
You You've got to convince yourself for missus Nelson's sake.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Keep repeating it. I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I want to leave it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I want to go to the exhibit.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
It would be it'd be fun.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You can do it, mister Nelson.

You're strong, I'm strong, I'm brave. I want to go
to the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You're a liar.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No I'm not.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It'll be fun, though it will yet, will I alive?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I want to go to the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (23:24):

Speaker 3 (23:34):
You want so, Yes, I want to go to the
art exhibit.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Why it'll be fun?
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Who says so?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Denislawsky?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
I know about her.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm all ready for the art exhibit, Harriet, you are, yes,
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You said that you don't really want to go, do you?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
But I do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You didn't a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I've changed since then.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
The football game today is supposed to be the best
of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, I know it's going to be a grudge game.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
And and I want to go to the art exhibit.
I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I want to go to the I want to go
to the art exhibit.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Beautiful day, isn't it, Derek?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yes, But we'll be better.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Off of the art exhibit indoors. I think it's going
to rain rain.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
There is the clouds in sky.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, they're all hiding behind the mountains, waiting for the
football game to start.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
Aldie, if you'd rather go to the football game, don't
be afraid to station.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh you can go to a football game anytime.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Harrid, you made the wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Turn there the art exhibits to the left. You're going
to get into all the traffic going to the stadium.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
I decided I want to go to the game instead.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But I thought you wanted to go to the art exhibit.
This is the last day, and a promise is a promise, Harrid.
I won't let you make this sacrifice. I made you
a promise, and I'll stick to it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Dear, when the rules of living were drawn up, there
was one rule ahead of the list, and it supersedes
all other rules.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Harriet. Nothing is more firmly established than the obligate to
keep a promise.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Yes, it is a woman's right to change your mind.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Would I want to go to the art exhibit?
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You'd better quit while you're still ahead, Stanislowsky. I might
change my mind again.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But what about the boys?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
They're going to meet us at the stadium. It seems
they met Emmy Lou and she convinced them they ought
to hike down there.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Are you sure you honestly want to go to the
football game?
Speaker 9 (25:21):
Oh definitely, dear, I want to go to a football game.
I want to go to the football game.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I want to football game.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Handi and Harriet will be back in just a moment. Hey,
that was a happy ending, if there ever was one.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Sometimes wonder what it would be like if women didn't
have that unalterable right to change their minds.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
You don't believe in it, mister Smith? Well, oh you
think a woman should decide one thing and stick to
it no matter what. Well, even if she's just about
to buy a certain silver pattern and then discovers at
the last minute that International Sterlings Joan of Arc is
back again and buys that instead.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well, hey, did you do that?
Speaker 9 (26:21):
Uh huh?
Speaker 10 (26:21):
And it was the best change of mind I ever had. Golly,
it was wonderful to find I could get Joan of
Arc again. I've been waiting for.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It for years now, you and thousands of other women.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Joan of Arc is one of the most beloved patterns
international Sterling ever created.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
During the war, when it wasn't being made.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
The postman brought scores of letters to International Sterling, each
one asking for its return. And now, in answer to
those requests, Joan of Arc is back, as lovely, as
magnificent as ever.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
Oh, and mister.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Smith, I found out something when I bought my set
the other day.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
I didn't have to.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
Pay for it all at once.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
The International dealer had a special payment plan specially suited
to my own budgets.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That's right, So you see, right now is the very
best time to buy that silver you've been dreaming of.
Joan of Arc, solid silver with beauty that lives forever,
created by famous international sterling. Boy.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Did we have a good time today he met?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
What happened to you, guys?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I thought you were going to meet us at the
stadium and.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
We went over to will Thornbury instead.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
But I thought Will's father promised to take him to
the game.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
He did, you see, But he fell asleep on the
couch and Will didn't want to wake him up anyway.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
By the time the picture was over, it was too late.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Picture.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, we were watching a picture on television.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
It was real. Rud boy timon of the Eights with
Elmo Lincoln.

Friends, one day, very soon, a neighbor of yours will
call on you for a contribution to your local community. Chant,
and I hope you'll contribute generously because the service they
render to your town or city is really tremendous. Homes
for the aged, free medical care for the poor and sick,
summer camps for children, work for the handicamp. All these
worthy causes are helped by your law community chest. And
(29:01):
because your community chest can freak problems as they arise,
they're prevented from spreading and affecting the welfare of the nation.
So when that doorbell rings, give all you can, won't
you remember everybody benefits.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
If everybody gives, this is worth my speaking. This is NBC,
the national broadcasting Company.
Harriet, Harriet, would you please, if you'll acquire an expression,
stop the music for a second. Good take a look
at this ad in Life magazine.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes, I saw that. Isn't that joan of arc pattern?
Simply beautiful?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That's what I mean? No wonder everybody says. The solid
silver with beauty that lives Forever is International Sterling.

Rogers roll fire in the fireplace, Nick the dog stretched

a basket of Menday.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
This is a life Look.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Here, dear, what is it? I want you to see?
What happens to Ricky's trousers?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Gee, they're getting pretty thin? How can you wear them
out that way? He never sits down? Throw the boys
out in.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The kitchen and they could stay up a little longer
if they promised to do their homework.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Aren't these David's books here on the table?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
What are you.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Fellas doing out there?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Just get the cracker?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Why don't you go out and take a look there?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Okay, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Boys?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well?
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Pop, this is a neat book.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Wait a minute, what's the idea of reading comic books?
Speaker 8 (02:23):
Pop?
Speaker 7 (02:24):
These aren't ordinary comic books. They're educational.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I suppose this first story is educational. Tommy Skunk lets
them have it.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
That's a swell story, Pop, Tommy Skunk.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Never mind, Why aren't your boys doing your homework?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
You don't understand, Pop.
Speaker 8 (02:43):
See we're supposed to do a composition.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
On animals and birds and stuff. Then these comic books
tell you all about it. They're very educational.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Where gonna read our school books too?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Pop? Well, nevertheless, you promised to get right at your
homework after dinner. I thought I promised met a little
more to you guys than something to be said and forgotten.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
We didn't mean to our promise, Pop, We didn't think
you'd catch us. I don't think you understand, Pop. The
teacher told us to get these comic books they're very instructive.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, I can say is school certainly is a lot
different than it was when I was a boy.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
State's a lot better, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I'm not too sure, Ricky.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Back in those days, everybody walked ten miles from snow.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, that's not what I mean. When I went to school,
we didn't have to learn about nature out of comic books.
We wanted to learn about animals and trees and plants.
We went right out into the woods.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Yeah, Pop, but that was back in the old days.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, they weren't the old days. It wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
We don't have any woods around here.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Of course we do.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
There are plenty of woods around here. The hills are
covered with trees.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All was easier for you, Pop.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Grandma Nelson told us that your pap used to take
you on hikes in the woods.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yes, that's true. He did many in the afternoon. I
remember Papa had come in and say, let's go, boys,
we're taking hike. If we'd go up to the pines
or up to Phelps Woods.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'll bet you had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I we sure did. There weren't many dads like my father.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
They don't any know at all. Gee, pomp, why don't
you ever take.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Us on hikes?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well I will, it's it's just a boy. When can
we go anytime? It does?
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Let's go tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well can we fuk?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Can we go tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well i'll see.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
Maybe that's a promise.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, it's a promise.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Do you think we'll catch a skunk?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You don't catch a skunk, Ricky, You run in the
opposite direction. Why because they have awfully sharp teeth. Now,
come on, let's get off that homework. And I mean
the real school books, the spelling and stuff. Okay, m
(05:05):
bacon smells good.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I was beginning to get worried. About an hour ago.
I heard you say you were getting up.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I was.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was cold, and I wanted another blanket.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You better get a blanket for the eggs. They're cold too.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
The boys eating yet oh.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Hours ago they're upstairs changing their.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Clothes, changing their clothes for what they're.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Going hiking today.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh, that's a nice day for a hike.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Me. I think I'll do a few things around the house.
Maybe i'll try out that new couch on the porch.
Looks pretty comfortable.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Perhaps I didn't hear the boys correctly, But aren't you
taking them up to Indian Springs for a hike or something?
They said you promised them you would.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I promised, Oh all that. Oh, well, we were just
talking last night. I don't think it was anything definite.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They're upstairs getting out there camping stuff. They seem to
think they're going today.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
See maybe I did mention that we might take a
trip up there. Oh, they'll forget all about it. You
know how they are enthusiastic about something, and ten minutes
later it's all forgotten.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I seemed pretty enthusiastic about the hype.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, you know how they change from one minute to
the next. Remember last summer that rocket ship they were
gonna build and fly to the moon in it? I
never did go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I hope they won't be disappointed when they find out
you aren't going to take them.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Who said anything about not taking them?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They still want to go. After I finished breakfast, I'll
be only too glad to take.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh that's wonderful, dear. I'm sure they want to go.
They've been talking about it all morning.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
As a matter of fact, it will probably be a
lot of fun for me too.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Get a little exercise some of that clear mountain.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
There hear the brown leaves crunching under my feet.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Oh, isn't it lucky?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It the matter?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed the sound of crunching.
I just burned the toes.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Hies. Well, what a coincidence. It was just on my
way over to see you.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh gee, I'm awful, sorry thorny, But as a matter
of fact, I'm a little short myself this week.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oz, Please, I just came over to pay a little
navally visit.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Here, have a cigar?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh, is captain? I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean, are you no?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
There's no special occasion.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Here? Enjoy a good smoke. What's the matter with it?
Nothing's the matter with it? Golly, can't a man offer
his neighbor a cigar without going through a third degree?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well, don't forget. I know you pretty well. You're sure
it's not gonna explode or something.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'll please I you have my word for it. Just
a plain cigar. As a matter of fact, my boy
Will bought it for me. Will isn't he a little
young for cigars? I promised to do him a little
favor this afternoon. He brought them for me to show
his appreciation.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't think I've ever seen this brand before.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Trase kind of strong.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oh what a rope. This is evil thought. Please, I
don't throw it away. Will maybe watching from the wind.
I don't want to hurt his feelings.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, I know, Thorny, but it smells like burning rubber
or something.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Well, the boy's young yet, it doesn't know one cigar
from another. But the thought was there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I promise to spend the afternoon with my kids too,
but I certainly hope they aren't out buying me cigars.
You know you and I are different, Thorny, But most
parents don't realize how important it is to spend time
with their children.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh sure, especially boys.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You'll find that the average boy patterns his entire behavior
after his father.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Oh, no question about it.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That's the reason we've got to be careful to set
I'm a good example.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, I always say what.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think you're right about that cigar ows it smells horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I think so many parents make a mistake when they
make casual promises their kids and then wriggle out of
them in one way or another.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's no good and then the parent. I think you
can throw that away. Oz Will probably isn't watching that? Okay,
it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Take me, for instance, I promised to take my boys
on a hike this afternoon, and nothing in the world
could keep me from it.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Hike, as old man? You mean to stand there with
that awful cigar in.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Your mount and tell me you don't know about the
big professional football.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Game this afternoon football game?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I sure down the stadium? Is that next week? Of course?
Notice this afternoon?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Well I thought it was next week.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I wonder if it's too late to get tickets.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
How can you go? You promise to take the boys hiking?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, yes, but I'm sure they'd rather go to the
football game. Don't you think I.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Don't know us? Did? They seem very infused about the hike?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh yeah, as a matter of fact, Harriet said, they've
been talking about it all morning. Why don't I just
ask them which they'd rather do? But don't you think
it's a little unfair of the minds in what way?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, naturally they'd know you'd rather go to a football game,
so they'd probably give up the hike just to make
you happy.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But inside they'd feel that their pop let them done.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You really think so?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh? Yes, I do, Oz A promise is a big
thing to a kid. Remember once my grandfather promised to
take me fishing, and the last minute he changed his
mind and took me to a movie instead, a Tazan.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Picture, and you never quite forgave him.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Not only that, I've never felt the same about Elmo
Lincoln since that day. I don't seem to enjoy his
pictures as much.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, I see it, Elmo Lincoln. He hasn't made a
picture in years and years they haven't shown No.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Oh, didn't I tell you why we got a television?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Said? Oh, I think you're right about the promise, though
I'm sure of it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oz. What's one football game compared to setting the right
example for David and Ricky?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I don't know what I could have been thinking of.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
A promise is a promise, That's the.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Way I look at it, Oz.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Even if we don't have a good time this afternoon,
we'll have.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
The satisfaction of knowing that we've kept our promises to
our boys.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, where did you promise to take Will?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I was a little smarter than you were, Oz, I
promised to take Will to the football game.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Mom, Yes, dear, we've been wondering.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Mom, is pop pretty good about keeping promises.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, if you're worried about him taking you on the hike,
he's looking.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Forward to it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh geez, what kind of talk is this?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Will Thornberry just said there's a professional football game today,
his father's.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Taking him to the game, and all we get is
an old hike.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, I'm surprised at you two guys.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I think you have a pretty nice dad.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, it isn't every father who's good.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
Enough to take his boys hiking. You don't want to
hurt the feelings, do you.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Well, Golley, no, But do you think if we told
him we'd rather see the game than go hiking, and
it'd hurt his feelings?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You're taking a chance.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Let's take a chance, Stephen.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
No, Ricky, we don't want to hurt Pop's feelings.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'll tell you what she could do. He might just
hint that if he'd rather go to the football game,
you'd be willing to postpone the.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Hike, Hi, Pop.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh, beautiful weather for a hike, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Yeah, I stayed for a football game too, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The boys have just heard that there's going to be
a big football game at the stadium today and they
thought that if you'd like to postpone the hike, well
they'd understand.
Speaker 8 (12:08):
We know how much you like football.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh, come now, boys, do you think your old dad
would break his promise? Sides on a beautiful day like this,
who wants to sit in the crowded stadium and watch
a football game?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Shut up, ricky, Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Sir, this is a perfect day for a football for
the I mean, this is a day for a hike
in the pants, the hike in the woods. What I
mean is we can go to a football game any day,
but a hike is something that well, Indian Springs. You
can just imagine how beautiful it is up there at
Indian Springs, Indians.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
And Springs, Well we just thought of.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Thanks very much, Froz. But don't you worry. Your old
dad isn't going to let you down, No, Surrey, A
promise is a promise. What silver pattern has had scores
(13:15):
of letters written about it? What silver pattern have women
all over the country been waiting for? What silver pattern
is back once again in a triumphant return to make
a thousand dreams come true? The answer International Sterling superb
(13:36):
Joan of Arc, Yes, Joan of Arc is back.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Once again.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
The silver pattern you wrote about waited for Green Dog,
one of the most magnificent patterns ever to come from
the hands of the famous International Sterling craftsman. Every detail
is fit, needs to perfection back as well as front,
and each piece is crowned with a gleaming classical shell ornament.
Here in every way is solid silver at its loveliest.
(14:10):
You'll agree when you see Joan of Arc at your
International Sterling dealers, so don't miss it tomorrow. See Joan
of Arc the silver pattern you asked for, created by
International Sterling. Ever since Ozzie Nelson was a little boy,
(14:37):
his parents taught him courage, determination, and a sense of honor.
These are the virtues it takes to keep a promise.
When little Oswald was eight years old, he was courageous, Look.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
At me, Shah, I can eat worm.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
When he was twelve years old, he was determined, don't.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Worry, Mama's finished eating this piece of chocolate cake.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
More.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
When he was sixteen, he had a highly developed sense
of honor.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Gwendolen, I must confess, before I met you, I kissed
another girl out.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yes, Ozzie learned early. At nineteen, he made his first
important promise.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I promised to pay the Blue Sky Auto Finance Company
the sum of thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And he kept his promise. In fact, that finance company
made sure of it. And so the Ozzie Nelson of
today has the same grim determination to keep his promise.
He's out in the garage now, dusting off his hiking boots. Meanwhile,
Harriet has put in her daily call to her mother.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Hello, Hello, mother, Harriet, Oh, hello dear, how are you?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Not so good?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Dear?
Speaker 9 (15:52):
My feet hurt and I feel.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
A headache coming on.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Have you taken an ash print?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (15:56):
But my feet still hurt.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
So much?
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Is that modern art exhibit today? And I warn you, dear, don't.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Go that bad redful?
Speaker 9 (16:06):
Simply a collection of three cornered apples, women with.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Six arms and purple hair.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
The only thing in a frame that made sense turned
out to be the fire hose.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Today's the last day's exhibit, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Thank goodness? Oh, I'm glad you told me Ozzy promised
to take me, But now I won't insist on it.
How is Ozzie, dear?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Oh he's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He and the boys are going on a hike today today.
Is he going to this football game.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
No, he seems to prefer the hike.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
Really, that doesn't sound like Ozzy.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, frankly, I think he really wants to go to
the game, but he's just sticking to his promise.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
You know, it's silly because the boys want to go
to the game too.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Well, dear, if Ozzy wants to go to the game
and the boys want to go to the game, why
don't they just go to the game and forget about
the hike.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
It sounds simple, It's.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
As simple as ABC.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But this is an x y Z family. I guess
they'll all go on the high can be perfectly miserable,
just so Ozzie can probe he keeps his promises.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
But you just said he promised to take you to
the odd Exhibit.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yes, but he can't because it's closing today and last
night he promised the boys. Huh oh, mother, I have
a wonderful idea. Would you like to hear it now?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Harriet? If it's some plan to trick Ozzie.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
I don't want to hear about it, okay, mother. You
know I never like to interfere in your little family squabbles,
so i'd rather you.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, hold you again, goodbye, mother, because it.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
To insist and you feel that you need my advice.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Harriet, Harriet, operator operator, we've been disconnected.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Mom?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
I think I know how you can go to the
football game today. Oh, I'm not promising mine, just just
an idea.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Oh boy, David Moll's got an idea.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Well, don't say this if it was the first one
I ever had.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
What's your idea?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Mom?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, listen to this.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Daddy doesn't want to break his promise to take you hiking,
But it just happens that he made a promise to me. Gee,
are you stuck to No, it's justn't or here he comes, boys,
let me do the talking.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, come on, fellows, get on your hiking clothes.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Here.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
I'm terribly sorry, but I think you've forgotten something.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well I don't think so. Here's my hatchet, my canteen,
my tool kit, my collapsible drinking cup.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
No, I don't mean anything like that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
There.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean you made a promise to me.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What's that?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Remember?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Do you promise to.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Take me to the Modern Art Exhibit?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Whatever day I wanted to go?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I promise that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yes, don't you remember one night last week?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well, we'll go sometime next week.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Today's the last day.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Oh that's a shame. Well, it'll probably be around another
year or two.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
No, Dear, you promised to take me. A promise is
a promise, But.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Harriet, I'm taking the boys on a hike.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
You'll have to postpone the hike. A previous promise eliminates
any promise made later.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That's the law. That's the law, David.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You don't hit the table with that walnut cracker. Try
if the boys are looking forward to this hike, aren't
your fellows.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Oh that's okay, Pop, you go ahead and take mom to.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
The art exhibit.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
Yeah, Pop, we don't mind.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm sorry, dear, but you did promise to take I.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Didn't promise, Harriet. I said i'd take you. But that
isn't a promise.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
What is it? Pot, it's a ricky Your mother and.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I are talking.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
You gotta shake your clove here.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The fine couple of pals you two turned out to be.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Well, gee, Pop, you promise Mom you'd take her. We
can't do anything.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Well, you didn't have to give up the hike so easily,
you'd think you didn't even want to go.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Gee, Pop, Why didn't you say something.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You're only eight years old, Ricky, Why didn't you cry.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
When you saw its pop?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Of course I'm a sore, aren't you. I suppose the
art exhibit won't be so bad. Gives a man culture.
Speaker 8 (19:55):
I guess you don't mind going pomp.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
No, if it'll make your mother happy, I'm only too
glad to take her. It will probably be very interesting. Well,
i'll see you guys later. Pre gun pot outside to
see if I can't find something wrong with the car.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh, Annie, where are you going?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm just getting the car. We're going downtown to the
football game. No, we're going to the Modern Art exhibit
at Simon's Galleries.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
The exhibit, Oh, I might have known those long, tapering fingers,
those delicate hands.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Your white shirt splashed with pants.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No, that's just a little ketchup. I had a center.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Now did your paintings win every part?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
No, no, I'm only going to the art exhibit to
look to look. Yes, I'm not a painter.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
You're not a painter.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
No, only a student.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Live in a garrett, A tiny cubicle.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
A bitch, a cobbyhole, a dumb so tiny you have
to paint with your hands in your pocket.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Where does my models.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Sit in the next room, You have to pick through
the keyhole.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Feverishly. You work on your part to day in and
day house. It means saying, the world will soon.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
Recognize your genius.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
And so you're paint and paint and paint.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
It takes form of house are days and has finished
your masterpieces.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Complete, what depth, what beauty? Your very soul is in
a painting.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Soon the world pass your garris And so to the
little art shop around the corner, not knowing that someday
this painting will be famous. The dealer offers you five dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Five dollars, this is worth five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You're hungry.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You must know I won't but you must eat.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I won't sell it, I'll eat it.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I talk.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
What do you think that cheap dealer offered me? It's
way of emmy lou you're all confused.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm going to the art exhibit just to look at
the pictures, but I don't want to go even well, then,
why are you going? Because I promise Missus Nelson.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Not take her.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I'll take her, but I won't like it.
Speaker 10 (22:08):
Is that being fair to missus Nelson?
Speaker 9 (22:10):
She wants you to take her to the art gallery,
and you're being needed by you want yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
What happened to the kind, gentle, loving mister Nelson.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
He's at the football game.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
With your change.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
If you do something you don't believe in it, think
of your wife, mister Nelson, use the Santaslavsky method.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What has Stanislavsky been thinking of my wife?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
It's a dramatic technique. You keep repeating something until you
believe it. For instance, you say you're a leaf until
you actually believe you are leaf. You can do the
same thing with the art exhibit. Keep saying I want
to go to the art exhibit until you want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want to go to the art exhibit. I want
to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Well, I think I'll try on a leaf.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
You You've got to convince yourself for missus Nelson's sake.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Keep repeating it. I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I want to leave it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I want to go to the exhibit.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
It would be it'd be fun.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You can do it, mister Nelson.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You're strong, I'm strong, I'm brave. I want to go
to the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You're a liar.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
No I'm not.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It'll be fun, though it will yet, will I alive?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I want to go to the exhibit.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I want to go with the art exhibit. I want
to go to the odd exhibit.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I want to feast my eyes on those beautiful colors.
I want to run barefoot through those gorgeous paintings. I
want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You want so, Yes, I want to go to the
art exhibit.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Why it'll be fun?
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Who says so?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Denislawsky?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
I know about her.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm all ready for the art exhibit, Harriet, you are, yes,
it'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You said that you don't really want to go, do you?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
But I do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You didn't a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I've changed since then.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
The football game today is supposed to be the best
of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, I know it's going to be a grudge game.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
And and I want to go to the art exhibit.
I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I want to go to the I want to go
to the art exhibit.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Beautiful day, isn't it, Derek?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yes, But we'll be better.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Off of the art exhibit indoors. I think it's going
to rain rain.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
There is the clouds in sky.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, they're all hiding behind the mountains, waiting for the
football game to start.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
Aldie, if you'd rather go to the football game, don't
be afraid to station.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh you can go to a football game anytime.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I want to go to the art exhibit.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Harrid, you made the wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Turn there the art exhibits to the left. You're going
to get into all the traffic going to the stadium.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
I decided I want to go to the game instead.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But I thought you wanted to go to the art exhibit.
This is the last day, and a promise is a promise, Harrid.
I won't let you make this sacrifice. I made you
a promise, and I'll stick to it.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Dear, when the rules of living were drawn up, there
was one rule ahead of the list, and it supersedes
all other rules.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Harriet. Nothing is more firmly established than the obligate to
keep a promise.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Yes, it is a woman's right to change your mind.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Would I want to go to the art exhibit?
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You'd better quit while you're still ahead, Stanislowsky. I might
change my mind again.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But what about the boys?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
They're going to meet us at the stadium. It seems
they met Emmy Lou and she convinced them they ought
to hike down there.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Are you sure you honestly want to go to the
football game?
Speaker 9 (25:21):
Oh definitely, dear, I want to go to a football game.
I want to go to the football game.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I want to football game.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Handi and Harriet will be back in just a moment. Hey,
that was a happy ending, if there ever was one.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Sometimes wonder what it would be like if women didn't
have that unalterable right to change their minds.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
You don't believe in it, mister Smith? Well, oh you
think a woman should decide one thing and stick to
it no matter what. Well, even if she's just about
to buy a certain silver pattern and then discovers at
the last minute that International Sterlings Joan of Arc is
back again and buys that instead.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well, hey, did you do that?
Speaker 9 (26:21):
Uh huh?
Speaker 10 (26:21):
And it was the best change of mind I ever had. Golly,
it was wonderful to find I could get Joan of
Arc again. I've been waiting for.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It for years now, you and thousands of other women.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Joan of Arc is one of the most beloved patterns
international Sterling ever created.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
During the war, when it wasn't being made.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
The postman brought scores of letters to International Sterling, each
one asking for its return. And now, in answer to
those requests, Joan of Arc is back, as lovely, as
magnificent as ever.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Friends, one day, very soon, a neighbor of yours will
call on you for a contribution to your local community. Chant,
and I hope you'll contribute generously because the service they
render to your town or city is really tremendous. Homes
for the aged, free medical care for the poor and sick,
summer camps for children, work for the handicamp. All these
worthy causes are helped by your law community chest. And
(29:01):
because your community chest can freak problems as they arise,
they're prevented from spreading and affecting the welfare of the nation.
So when that doorbell rings, give all you can, won't
you remember everybody benefits.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
If everybody gives, this is worth my speaking. This is NBC,
the national broadcasting Company.
