Well, work on cars, put radios together and do some skin diving in there.

[C]

Oh, do you? Mm. Well, you've got a lot of wonderful ideas there. That weights you down, doesn't it? Skin diving while you're working on a car? Not at the same time. Understand?

[C]

I do want it clearly understood that that was very nice to you. Thank you. That as far as newspaper boys are concerned, I have every respect in the world for him. Goodness knows I get up early enough, but many times I look out the window there, and here's this guy. Especially in the wintertime, trudging through the snow and ice. It just isn't easy. They do a great job. Were you ever a newspaper boy? No. No, I never was.

[E]

I put the Brooklyn Eagle out of business, that's all.

[C]

Were you, Freddie?

[F]

I tried to get a job. That's the truth. I really did.

[E]

As a paper boy.

[C]

With that haircut, she could almost make it, you know.

[F]

No, I really did try to get a job. They wouldn't hire me.

[C]

They wouldn't hire you?

[F]

No. You were too long then.

[C]

Well, they want people to. They want people to think about the papers. What I, too, was a newspaper boy.

[E]

In the loose in Duluth.

[C]

Good. But I had it a little bit easier. Fine. I used to stand on the corner and one spot with a little hot.

[E]

Stove there, the old stove.

[C]

And I used to yell. That's what I say. All OBO players are crazy. Did you ever have an embarrassing experience, Freddie?

[F]

Oh, I've had quite a few. Let me see if I can think of one.

[D]

Oh, dear.

[F]

The most embarrassing thing probably that ever happened to me was at Stevens College once. And I was kind of aspiring to be a singer then, too. And we had Frankie Carl for our commencement dance. And of course, naturally, I wanted to meet him, you know, But I had been. I was very foggy in the brain because I had been up so many nights studying, you know, and I sometime would have illusions of people being there when they weren't there. And I'd hear voices and, you know. So I get these little spel.

[D]

And.

[F]

So I asked the president of the college to introduce me, you know, please introduce me to Frankie Carl. Because maybe, you know, maybe he let me sing with him. So he did. Mr. President Spraggins was the president at the time. And he took me up to Frankie Carl and he said, Mr. Carl, I'd like you to know Freddie Weber, who's president of the class. And I was president of the class at that time. And I thought, well, I'll say something smart like, I've heard a lot about you. You know, something like that. And all of a sudden my mind snapped and I said a lot about. About you. About. About. About. About. About. About. I couldn't stop saying about. Dear Lord, help me. Stop saying about. You know. But the funny part about it was, nobody even laughed. They just sort of. They didn't say a word. They just walked away. You know, I felt like an idiot, really.

[C]

Well, I'm sure you've all heard about Freddy Webber. So she.

[D]

Hello, young lovers, whoever you are.

[C]

I.

[D]

Hope your troubles appear. All my good wishes go with you to night. I and love like you Be brave young lovers and follow your star. Be brave and faithful true. Cling very close to each other tonight. I've been like you. I know how it feels to have wings on your heels and to fly down a street in a trance. You fly down a street on a chance that you meet and you meet not really by chance. Don't cry Unless you lovers, whatever you do, don't cry because I'm alone. All of my ma tonight I've had a love of my own. I've had love of my own like.

[F]

Your.

[D]

I had love of my own.

[C]

Thank you, Freddy.

[F]

I'm glad I didn't stammer during that song.

[C]

You know, I understand there are only two kinds of secrets as far as women are concerned. Number one, those that aren't worth keeping, and number two, those that are too good to keep. Wow. Now we come to our hymn time with Dick Noel.

[E]

He leadeth me, O blessed thought. O words with heaven.

[A]

Hey, this is Sarah. Look, I'm standing out front of a.m. p.m. Right now and well, you're sweet and all, but I found something more fulfilling. Even kind of cheesy. But I like it. Sure, you met some of my dietary needs, but they've just got it all. So farewell oatmeal so long, you strange soggy.

[B]

Break up with bland breakfast and taste AM PM's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit made with cage free eggs, smoked bacon and melty cheese on a buttery biscuit. AM P M. Too much good stuff.

[D]

For.

[E]

By his hand he leadeth me.

[C]

Each in his own words, each in his own way. For a world united in peace. Let us bow our heads. Heads and pray. Amen. Memory time this morning. It's especially for parents, based on an article in Seventeen magazine for October. Oh, why should an article in a teenager's magazine interest parents? Well, because this one deals with student cheating. It's not a very pleasant subject, but it does exist, at least in some places. You're probably saying, oh, my boy or my girl wouldn't cheat an examination. Well, I hope that he or she wouldn't. But do you know are you sure this magazine article There are candid interviews with teenagers who have cheated and some of the reasons. One says I cheated because I was afraid to bring home low grades. Another one said I cheated because why not everybody does it. Another one said I cheated because I wanted good grades so I can get to a better college. Another one said I cheated because the teacher doesn't care. Just so you Pass all these excuses. Many more were heard. Many times I wonder if your teenage boy or girl realizes that they may cheat now and then through high school. But it's gonna be much tougher when in college they're on their own. But the main thing is it's so much worse in later life when you find out the hard way that when you cheat others, you're really just cheating yourself. You know. To thine own self be true, then thou canst not be false to any man. Perhaps I haven't quoted it just right, but it's the idea. That's why I say at the end of the program, be good to your neighbor. Sometimes I say be good to yourself. It's the same thing neither way. You notice when you were in college, you've been there much more recently than the rest of us, Freddie. Much seating going on.

[F]

Actually, not too much that I knew about anyway. We were on an honor system there at Stevens.

[C]

I see.

[F]

And it seemed from statistics seemed to work better than the other type system.

[C]

Well, the high school, New Trier High School, where my boys went to school had the honor system too. And I don't know either. I have no way of knowing whether it was working. But it seemed to certainly seem.

[F]

Yes, it seemed to a Stevens too. Everything was on the honor system.

[C]

But put you on your own, in other words.

[F]

Yes. And it made. It certainly made you have more pride in yourself. And that's right. I think it made for more maturity.

[C]

How'd you get through school? We had the honor system. Did you? Yeah. They'd unlock the bars and let us out for a while. Any of you high school students over here got any ideas on this? You think we should hear about this? You. Some of you fellas are in high school now. What do you think of the situation? The fella's gonna have his own law firm there in. In 10 years. What do you think about it?

[G]

Well, it's not actually a cage. It's close to it though.

[C]

You mean what I quoted is not the case?

[G]

No. It's almost a cage.

[C]

Like cage.

[D]

C H E. Oh, cage.

[C]

What's a cage?

[G]

Well, you can't do hardly anything you don't want to do.

[C]

I don't get this.

[G]

You can't do anything that you don't.

[C]

Want to do in school. You mean. Uh huh. You can't do anything that you don't want to do. But you mean if you. If you don't want to cheat, you can't do it.

[G]

But if you do it, you got to do it?

[E]

He's got to be a lawyer. All right.

[F]

He's going to be a lawyer.

[C]

This guy talks like a lawyer. I don't understand the word of the. But right now I think you'll get a kick out of what Freddy does. Called. They always pick on me.

[D]

When I was born my ma and pa, they looked at me and said, oh, sure. The doctor said it's a girl, I think. And Pa went out and got a.

[F]

Drink Kool Aid, that is.

[D]

Then Ma said I look just like Pa and Pa said I took after Ma and Jane said I look like a quince and I've been a stepchild ever since they always, always pick on me they never, never let me be I'm so very lonely Awfully sad It's a long, long time since I've. But I know what I'll do by and by I'll eat some worms and then I'll die and when I'm gone you wait and see that I'll be sorry that they picked on me One morning just at 4:00 somebody tried to pick our locks I knew it was Pa sure it's in so I opened the door and let him in Then Ma said, what time is it, Pa? It's 12 o' clock My pa told Ma just then the cuckoo cuckooed four and Pa made me cuckoo eight times more they always, always pick on they never, never let me be I'm so very lonely I please say it's a long, long time since I've been glad But I'll know what I'll do by and by I'll eat some worms and then I'll die and when I'm gone you wait and see Now I'll be sorry that they picked on they'll all be sorry that they picked on they'll all be sorry that they picked on me.

[C]

Cute, Freddy. Real cute. Very cute. Now, what is the information we're seeking? Thought this would be a clever idea myself. Because I've often wondered what it is that wives do to make us husbands do exactly what they want us to do, and we don't know it. So we asked some of these ladies if they would please jot down some of the little tricks, the little gimmicks they use to get their husbands to do the things that they want to get done. And they've been very, very nice indeed about writing them down. However, Mrs. Linden, in your case, you've been married 10 years, 10 years now, and you haven't learned any tricks?

[F]

No. He's smarter than I am.

[C]

You Go back and sit and listen. And when you're. When you've heard these things, you will have so many ways to get into. Oh, I'll tell you. Wait till you hear what these ladies have in their back of their mind. You're Grace Rich.

[F]

Mm. From Oakland, California.

[C]

All right, Grace. You do what when you want your husband to do what you want him to do?

[F]

Well, I use a little mental telepathy. I plant a thought, make a suggestion, then I drop it. And then a few days, I come back again and give it another little twist to it and drop it. Pretty soon, you know, he thinks it's.

[D]

His idea, it's all done.

[F]

I'm happy, he's happy. He takes all the credit. We get along beautifully.

[C]

For 40 years, 20 years, I think this has been pulled on me time. I'm glad to know. Take notes of this stuff. Sounds awfully familiar. Let's take notes. Let's take notes. This is very good. And you're Nancy.

[F]

Mrs. Robert Lyon.

[C]

Mrs. Robert Lyon. Okay, Mrs. Lyon. You're from Endicott, New York. Yeah. Now, how do you work it?

[F]

Well, when I need something done around the house, I get all the supplies lined up up and everything all handy. Then I put it where he can't help but see it and fall over it, and I think he gets the hint.

[C]

I. Oh, I know that one, too. We have winding stairs going up from the first to second floor, and for years, I used to pass stuff placed on those stairs, and I wonder, why do you suppose she put it there? I finally got the idea after 26, 27, 28 years around in you. Thank you, Ms. Lyon. They make you trip over to. Excuse me. Then you realize what it's there for. And you're Nancy.

[F]

Trey.

[C]

Trey's from Buffalo, New York. All right, Nancy. How do you. What do you do?

[F]

Well, I usually ask him what I.

[C]

Want him to do, and then he said, no comment, or whatever it is. I say, okay, never mind, I'll do it myself. And the next thing I notice, he's doing it. It's the. The I'm just a little prairie flower approach, huh? I'll do it myself. By the way, is your husband with you?

[F]

Yes.

[C]

I don't think you're telling us half. Then what? You really do dream that one up. All right, all right. I don't blame you. You're Mrs. Don Ryan. It is Ryan.

[F]

Huh? Ryan.

[C]

Ryan from Altoona, Pennsylvania.

[F]

That's right.

[C]

All right. Now, how do you work it?

[F]

Well, you know, my husband's a businessman, and when he comes home, I always say, well, dear, did you have a busy day? And, of course, he proceeds to tell me how busy he's been, and he just doesn't have enough time to do the things that he should do. So why should I ask him to do the things for me that he doesn't have time to do his own thing?

[C]

I see.

[F]

So I think a little bit, and then I start saying, well, now, I would like to have this done, but I know you're busy, and when you have time, will you do it?

[D]

It.

[F]

And it always works. If I let him realize he's busy, too busy to do something for me.

[C]

Then he does it.

[F]

Then he does it.

[C]

I see. Oh, are these women smart. Wow.

[E]

So long, your Breakfast clubbers descend. Our meeting once again on Monday. You'll hear our greetings.

[C]

Well, as I say to myself so often before this thing starts, it's over. A lot of times seems that way to me. It may have been a long hour for you friends, but it went fast for me. And we hope once again that you have a very, very blessed weekend. I said before, you can either be good to yourself or be good to your neighbor. Because when you do one, you do the other. Don McNeil and the gang saying goodbye. Don McNeil's breakfast club has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.
