[John Scott]

Gaines dog food presents juvenile jury. Yes, it's Juvenile Jury brought to you by Gai Nas Jane's Complete Meal, a meal that nourishes every inch of your dog. We invite you to spend 30 minutes with the children of America as they attempt to solve the problems which you, the listeners, send in. Of course, if your problem concerns the feeding of your dog, our jurors will give you just one answer. They'll tell you to feed Gaines Complete meal. Gaines is more economical to feed than any other type of dog food. Gaines is a meal dogs love. Gaines is America's largest selling dog food. Now to introduce the jurors, here's the originator of Juvenile Jury and our program moderator, Jack Barry.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you John Scott and hello again everyone. Waiting to prove that children should be heard as well as seen are five average alert youngsters, their ages ranging from five to ten. Reading from left to right means Peggy.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Booter, age ten year old in age seven. Robin Morgan, age five, Congo, age nine and a half. Elizabeth Watson, age five.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you children. Now let's dip into the mailbag for our very first question. As you know, for each question put before the jury, the sender receives a monitor radio phonograph that changes 10 and 12 inch records in five seconds. Plus a complete new album of comedy records by George Burns and Gracie Allen, one of the top 10 albums. Here is that first letter from a Ms. S.F. of Patterson, New Jersey. And she'll receive a radio phonograph. Now a 10 year old Ms. F writes as follows. She says, I am a growing girl and my mother always makes my clothes two sizes too large for me because she says that otherwise I'll grow out of them too quickly. I feel silly wearing clothes that are too big for me and that hang on me. What should I do? Well, kids, this is probably common in many homes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Kang Lu well, why don't you tell your mother that your feet are growing and you don't buy shoes too big for yourself?

[Jack Barry]

I should say not. At least I've never heard of it.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Peggy Bird well, why don't you go outside when it's very, very, very hardly raining and just let your clothes rain?

[Jack Barry]

Just let your clothes shrink. Yes, Peggy. Confidentially, that answer confidentially, that shrinks. Dickie Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, she should explain to her mother that when she wears those big and long clothes on her, she feels very self unconscious.

[Jack Barry]

How. How do you feel this afternoon, Nikki?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I feel all right, but I never like to wear clothes that don't fit me.

[Jack Barry]

Of course, you probably feel self unconscious too.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I do?

[Jack Barry]

Well, I can understand that, Elizabeth Watson.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you. When your mother's not up, why don't you put dress in that and your mother doesn't know what you're wearing.

[Jack Barry]

When do you get dressed, Elizabeth?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

In the morning. But my mother doesn't want me to get dressed in the morning.

[Jack Barry]

Your mother wants you to get dressed in the afternoon? Yeah. What do you do all morning?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I have to hobble around and then get dressed.

[Jack Barry]

You hobble around? I see more. And then what'd you do this morning?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I had a hobble around.

[Jack Barry]

You hobbled around. Why do you hobble around, Elizabeth?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

But I have nothing to do but get dressed.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, what?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

All I have to do is hobble around?

[Jack Barry]

Well, I tell you, Elizabeth, sometime you come out and visit me. We'll hobble around together. Uh, Peggy Bruner.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe your mother wants you to have that new look.

[Jack Barry]

Yes, I see. That may be the reason. Finally, Vicki Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, she should tell her mother that when she wears her dresses so long, she looks as if she's standing in a hole.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Vicki. Well, let's give Robin Morgan one more chance to answer. Yes, Robbie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why does. Maybe the little girl doesn't know what her mother is trying to do for her. Her mother is 20, trying to make her be up to date fashions, which is to have all your clothes group and hang.

[Jack Barry]

I think you'd find some. I think you'd find, Robin, that some fashion experts would disagree with you. But I think that the young lady should explain her embarrassment to her mother. And perhaps they can reach a compromise and have some of the clothes a little large and some of them fit exactly right. Well, kids, the wind was sure blowing here in New York yesterday, and it perhaps gives us a sample of what's going to happen when we get out to Chicago next week. As we've been announcing these past few weeks, all of us in the juvenile jury are going out to Chicago to broadcast there next Sunday from the 8th Street Theater. And I think I might like to announce too, that On Friday morning of this coming week, Robin Morgan and I will be guests of Don McNeil on his breakfast Club. On another network, that is. And on Sunday, our next show, next Sunday afternoon, you will all be interested in knowing that Don McNeil's youngest son, son Bobby, will present his own private problem to the juvenile jury. We think it's going to be a lot of fun. We hope that all of you will be listening. Our next problem, kids, comes from a Ms. Se in Providence, Rhode Island. You'll get a monitor, radio, phonograph and a top 10 record album. For having her problem put before the jury, Ms. E. Writes as follows. She says, as soon as my cousin Alvin comes to visit us, he picks up anything and throws it at us. One day he missed me, but the ashtray broke our new mirror. When we spoke to his mother, she said that he was trying to get rid of some energy. What can we do? Elizabeth? What do you think?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Why the fly? Then he put the mirror someplace else. And then he won't be able to put the ashtray and stuff away. So he can't throw the ashtray, clear.

[Jack Barry]

Out the whole house every time Alvin comes. Yes, I understand, Elizabeth. Thank you, Kang Lu.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, when. When your aunt says he wants to get rid of some energy, tell her that you want to get rid of some cousins.

[Jack Barry]

Peggy Birder.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you just leave some boomerangs around.

[Jack Barry]

And boomerang right back at him. I see. All right. Peggy. Dickie Orlando.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, George Washington liked to throw also. He threw a half a dollar across the river and became president. So he can take a little cousin to the river and let him throw his money across and she can stand on the other side and collect it.

[Jack Barry]

Do you think there's any chance that Alvin will become president? Dickie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe.

[Jack Barry]

Uh huh. I hope so. Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, you get a lot of energy from irons and mashed potatoes.

[Jack Barry]

Irons and what?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Mashed potatoes.

[Jack Barry]

Irons and mashed potatoes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes sir.

[Jack Barry]

Must be rather difficult eating them that.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Way, don't you think so why don't they take away all his irons and mashed potatoes and then he'll be like the rest of us.

[Jack Barry]

You sound almost like a golfer. Mashed potatoes. Then he can putter around a little bit. Kang Lu.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you let him pick up a thing? But before he picks it up, put glue on it. And then distract him for a moment and let the glue dry. And when he tries to throw it, he won't be able to.

[Jack Barry]

You should distract him a little Bit.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yeah.

[Jack Barry]

Then after this problem, the way he's going to do it, I think we'll have to subtract them a little bit too. Dickie Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe he can see straight, so they should get him some glasses. And then when he picks up something to throw, at least he won't be breaking any mirrors.

[Jack Barry]

All right. Finally, Peggy Bird.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you take advantage of him and hire him as a pitcher for the Dodgers?

[Jack Barry]

I think they can use him. Well, I think they ought to explain to the Ant that the boy is destructive and that unless his actions are controlled that he won't be able to come over to the house anymore as a guest. Now here's our popular feature, Gaines Dog Guest of the Week. Each week we bring a real dog on stage to see if the juvenile jury can identify it. And here it comes now.

[John Scott]

This is John Scott speaking off stage. The jurors can't hear me, but Gaines dog guests are two Lhasa APSOs. Now back to Jack Barry.

[Jack Barry]

Well, now, jurors, look at this. Two dog guests today, and they're not exactly giants. In fact, they stand about 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh about 12 pounds. With bushy tails trailing over their backs and big round eyes peeping out from their fur covered faces. They have long shaggy coats that nearly touch the ground. One dog is a golden color with black ear tips, while the other is black with white markings on his toes, chest and face. Kids, this is perhaps the most difficult of all the dogs we've had so far to identify. Can anyone tell me what kind of dogs these are?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think the black one a Scottish.

[Jack Barry]

You think the black one's a Scotty? And what about the other one?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think the other one's a Scotty too.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see. Then can we sum that up and say you think that both are Scotties?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Kong. Any idea what they are?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they're lashaterious.

[Jack Barry]

They're what?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Lashaterious.

[Jack Barry]

We'll get back to you in a minute, Khan. Do you have any idea what they are, Robin?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think they're. Well, I think they're Irish Scots.

[Jack Barry]

That's a rather different combination, isn't it? Irish Scots. Uh huh. All right. Vicki, do you know what they are?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I'm gonna say what Paige is.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, wait a while, Mickey. Peggy hasn't said anything yet. You're gonna wait to hear what she says?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yeah.

[Jack Barry]

And then you'll say ditto. All right, let's hear what Peggy has to say.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What do you think they are Peggy a Lassiter.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that is very, very close. As a matter of fact, let me get back to Kong. Kong. Why did you think they were Lassiteria?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Because I read them in a book.

[Jack Barry]

You read about it in the book? Well, we fooled you a little bit. Game's door guests for today are Lassa Apsos. And their names are Moshe and Shenlo. Incidentally, do any of you know what country these breed comes from? Yes, Dickie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Mr. Barney, did you say Moshe?

[Jack Barry]

No, I said it's either pronounced Moshe or Mocha. M O, C, H. And I think he has two names. It wasn't what you said. Peggy, do you know what country they come from?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they come from Tibet.

[Jack Barry]

Lawrence, that is Han. Have you any idea where they come from?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I agree with Peggy.

[Jack Barry]

Yes, Nikki?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they come from whatever Peggy said.

[John Scott]

We really agreement.

[Jack Barry]

Well, as a matter of fact, these dogs originally did come from Tibet. And they are named for.

[John Scott]

Now, wait a minute.

[Jack Barry]

Maybe you can tell me how they got their names. Peggy, do you know that too? How did they get their names?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

NASA.

[Jack Barry]

Excuse me, Elizabeth. How?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

By a ship.

[Jack Barry]

They got their names by a ship. Do you care to go into that a little further? What do you mean by a ship?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe they were on a ship one day, the ship was named that, and they got their name.

[Jack Barry]

I see. That's a good explanation. But it's not correct, Peggy.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, they came from Tibbet. Well, either they came from a city named Lhasa. Or the original owner was a man named Tibbet.

[Jack Barry]

Well, Peggy, you sure astound me with some of your answers. According to the American Kennel Club, these terriers did get their name from Lhasa, which is the capital of Tibet. And from the word apsos, meaning hairy or goat like. Interestingly enough, Lhasa apsos weren't known in this country until this century. However, some were sent as highly valued gifts to the rulers of China. And Mocha and Shenlo are descended from dogs that escaped from Hong Kong just ahead of the Japs. But do any of you know the kind of work these little fellas do? Kong.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Mr. Barry?

[Jack Barry]

Yeah?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I didn't see any of those dogs in China.

[Jack Barry]

How long has it been since you were in China, Kong?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Three years.

[Jack Barry]

And what city were you in?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I was born in Hong Kong.

[Jack Barry]

And you didn't see those dogs?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

No. I was only small, you know.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see. Well, for goodness sakes. I want you fellas to all get acquainted here before the program is finished.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Peggy, I think they're a watchdog.

[Jack Barry]

That's very, very good. What do you think, Dickie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they're a watchdog.

[Jack Barry]

Robin.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they're a watchdog.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, boy. Sure. Well, kids, matter of fact, Lhasa Apsos were used as indoor watchdogs in the homes of important people of Tibet. They were and still are, as a matter of fact, excellent at that type of work. They're quick to spot strangers and quick to give warnings. And quick to. To what, Scotty?

[John Scott]

To recognize a good dog food, Jack.

[Jack Barry]

Like.

[John Scott]

Like games, Jack. Gosh, you ought to see dogs go for it. Their wagging tails and sparkling eyes tell you right off they like it. And besides tasting good, Gaines Complete Meal is good for dogs too. It contains everything they're known to proteins, fats, carbohydrates, plus all the essential vitamins and minerals and more than required amounts. Yes, a Ray Gaines nourishes every inch of a dog. It's that good. Yes, and Gaines is good for dog owners too.

[Jack Barry]

Good for their pocketbooks.

[John Scott]

It's more economical to feed than any other type of dog food. Just take canned dog food. Since they're cooked in the can, the manufacturers must add water for proper cooking. This brings the moisture up to as much as 70%, often higher. But Gaines is different. Gains is dry food over 90% concentrated food. You add the liquid yourself at no extra cost. You don't pay for moisture. You buy nourishment when you buy gains. So, like thousands of dog owners, listen to your dog speak. Speak for games. America's largest selling dog food.

[Jack Barry]

Thanks, Scotty. And thanks to our Gaines. Dog guests of the week. Take a bow, Moshe and Shenlo. Now, as a regular feature of Juvenile Jury, we invite our younger listeners to present their problems in person. This week we have the youngest in person ever to bring to the juvenile jury. She is three and a half years old and her name is Bonnie Ann Chalzell of Jamaica, Long Island. Bonnie, welcome as the youngest member ever to be near our jury. Now, Bonnie, will you tell the members of the juvenile jury what your problem is?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

My mommy puts me in the couch and I don't wanna. I rather walk while leaving it up to the jury.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Bonnie Ann, I'm sure that's a very serious problem for you. Some questions.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Peggy, why do you. Why do you want to walk? Cuz I think I'm too big. And. And I. And my mommy and my mommy wants me to walk. Why does your mother want you to walk?

[Jack Barry]

No, her mother wants her to be in the carriage, I believe. Isn't that right, Bonnie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes, why does your mother want you to be in the carriage? Because she thinks I'm a baby, and I say I'm not, but she still does it. Well, when does she make you walk? I mean, stay in the carriage? Well, when we go shopping.

[Jack Barry]

All right.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin, how long does your mother shop? Well, about two hours.

[Jack Barry]

And you have to stay in the carriage all that time?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

No, I go in the store.

[Jack Barry]

I see. Elizabeth.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, your mother wants you to get in the carriage because she doesn't want you to get lost. Now, Vicki Orland, do many other children ride in carriages? Well, I think I ought to walk cause I'm too big. But do any other children ride? Yes, but I'll eat wood. Well, maybe your mother wants you to stay in the carriage so you'll save your shoe. And I think I'm too big, I said. Kong Lou, what kind of carriage? Is it, a stroller or a sleeping carriage? Well, stroller, but. But the hay goes and I go to sleep.

[Jack Barry]

Well, kids, let's take a quick run down here and see whether or not she should stay in the carriage or not. Peggy, do you think she should stay in the carriage?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, yes, because she'll. I think she'll walk enough when she grows up.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Vicki.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, let me.

[Jack Barry]

You say what Peggy says. I know. Well, let you think about it and go to Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I don't think that you should mind it, but. Because my mother told me that before automobiles were discovered, even grownups used to ride around in carriages. So there's nothing wrong.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Robin.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Liu, I think you should ride in the carriage because you might get lost and fight with. Or fight with somebody.

[Jack Barry]

All right. And finally, Elizabeth, do you think she should ride in the carriage? Why do you think so?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Because it. Have you ever been in a Raider?

[Jack Barry]

Well, just lucky for the program I have Elizabeth Yenitz. Why?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, because even you haven't been in a rowing chair. But even grown ups can ride.

[Jack Barry]

Who was on the stand here, me or Bobby Adams? Yes, I've been in one of those rolling chairs.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Or even grown ups can ride a knife. I don't see why she doesn't want to ride in the carriage.

[Jack Barry]

That's very good, Elizabeth. Well, I'm afraid, Bobby Ann, that the members of the juvenile jury think you should ride in the carriage. At least till you get a little bit older. Thank you very much for being with us, Bobby Ann Chazelle. Now, kids, let's get back to some more problems.

Let's Texas this next problem comes to us from Brooklyn, sent to us by Master AF, to whom we're sending a smart radio phonograph plus a top 10 album. 11 year old Master F writes as follows. He says, every afternoon after classes my younger sister runs directly home. You see, we each go to different schools, but our house is closer to her school than it is to mine. So she gets home before I do and eats up all of the cookies in the jar, leaving none for me. What should I do?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Hong Lou well, why don't you let her eat all the cookies and then she'll grow fat and then I, I think you, you'll get there before her because she'll get fat.

[Jack Barry]

The inference being that she won't be able to run as fast after she puts on added weight. All right.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Elizabeth Watson well, I rather eat the cookies because she eats and she'll get fat. You know she can't run. You can't run fast when you're that because you're so fun.

[Jack Barry]

I see. Dickie says what Peggy says and you say what Kong says.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Dickie Orland well, he should tell her to at least leave the last one for him because if she eats the last cookie, she'll be a bachelor.

[Jack Barry]

Let me puzzle that one out a little bit. I don't think the word is bachelor, but that's a very, very good parallel you draw there.

[John Scott]

Dickie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Peggy Bruder well, why doesn't he just go up to the principal and ask if he could be dismissed earlier than the rest of the children so that he can eat cookies and I'm sure she'll oblige.

[Jack Barry]

Oh yes, I'm sure. Tom.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you leave the cookie jar in your Friend's house.

[Jack Barry]

Then your friend will eat the cookies. No, Robin.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why doesn't the little boy tell his sister that cookies aren't the most important thing in lives?

[Jack Barry]

No. What is?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, let me think a second. Ice cream.

[Jack Barry]

I don't think that is either Dickie or I.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think that the whole problem will be solved if you get three cookie jars.

[Jack Barry]

Three cookie jars? Who are the three cookie jars for?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, one for the brother and one for the sister and one for me.

[Jack Barry]

Well, I. I don't. I don't have any idea, Dickie. I have no idea how you're going to get over to eat these cookies, though.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Where did you say this problem came from?

[Jack Barry]

Problem comes from Brooklyn.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

So do I.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Dickie, you win. I think if they do just as you say, they'll have two cookies jars, one for the sister, one for the brother. It will solve the entire problem. Now, our jurors will be back in just a moment with more questions and answers. First, here's John Scott and games. Talking dog.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Here, Gainesy.

[Jack Barry]

Here, boy. Come here.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Come on, come on.

[John Scott]

Hi there, fella.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Hi there.

[John Scott]

What you got there? A newspaper? Don't tell me you can read. No, you can't. You can talk, all right, but you can't read. Come on, let me see the.

[Jack Barry]

Come on, come on.

[John Scott]

Oh, you think you can read?

[Jack Barry]

All right.

[John Scott]

Read that headline. Food's expensive. That's right, you can read. Well, go ahead.

[Jack Barry]

What kind of food? All food.

[John Scott]

No, Gainesy. That's what it says.

[Jack Barry]

But that's where this paper's wrong.

[John Scott]

Just take Gaines complete meal. Now, Gaines is more economical to feed than any other type of dog food. Why, do you know that one 5 pound package of gains provides nourishment equal to 151 pound cans of canned dog food? 15? Yes, boy. And that 5 pound package of gains costs less than half as much.

[Jack Barry]

Really?

[John Scott]

Yes. Not only that, Gaines contains everything. Dogs are known to need. Many things meat alone cannot provide. Yes, fella. Gains nourishes every inch of a dog. That's right. So bark master, message fella. So always tell him to buy nourishment by Gaines. Right, fella. Smart dogs always feet speak for gains. America's largest selling dog.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, John, Scott and Gainesley. Our second in person guest this week is a young fella too. He has just turned four years old and he is Richard Harvey Johnson of the Bronx, New York. Now, Richard, would you please tell your problem to the jury?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I would like to have a jury. My mommy would love me and you're.

[Jack Barry]

Leaving that up to the jury, huh? All right, Peggy, some questions.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why do you want to have a dog? I have no one to play with, thank you. Pardon? I said I have no one to play with.

[Jack Barry]

You have no one to play with?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes. Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, decades.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Have you really tried talking to your mother about the dog?

[Jack Barry]

Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, tell your mother that you'll take care of the dog and she'll really get to love the dog because after a while, you'll see, it'll be like your own flesh and blood. Yes. Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Let's get some more questions here.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin, have you ever had a dog? Never. Well, do you know that a dog needs kindness and love and care? And do you have enough time to give that? Yes. Khan Lu, are you a good dog trainer? Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Elizabeth Watson. Well.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Me and my sister Barbara, we want to dog very berry, but we don't care because we can't have one.

[Jack Barry]

Yeah, but he does care, Elizabeth. He wants to have one. Aggie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why doesn't your mother want you to have one? She thinks if I'm good enough, I'll get one. How old are you? 4.

[Jack Barry]

You don't go to school, do you, Richard?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

No.

[Jack Barry]

Did you ever go to school?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes. But I didn't like your lunches.

[Jack Barry]

Well, maybe the lunches weren't too good, but I'll bet the education was fine. Any more questions, kids? Ramen.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, will you settle for a little puppy? No. What breed of a dog do you want?

[Jack Barry]

Lots of. What kind of.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What kind do you want? A cooker spaniel.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that's a nice dog.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Do you. Do you live in an apartment or a house? An apartment. Well, why doesn't your mother let you have a dog? Because he goes around chewing up all the fridge, and that's why he'd make a mess.

[Jack Barry]

All right, kids, now let's take a quick run down here. Peggy, do you think you should be allowed to have a dog or not?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, Thanksgiving is coming in, so I think you should be thankful for the things that you have already.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Dickie Roland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, you should ask mother to ask the telephone company if they can give her a phone booth. And you can also keep the dog in there.

[Jack Barry]

Okay, Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you. Yes, you should have a dog, but why don't you please ask to please tell your mother that there won't be any mess because you'll always feed your dog games. Then you'll always be a lady.

[Jack Barry]

Well, thank you, Robin.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, tell you, I think you should have a dog because as I asked you, you were a good dog trainer, so you might teach him to watch out for burglars.

[Jack Barry]

Sure. Well, I think, Richard, that if you take good care of your dog and really treat him well, you can have a dog. Thank you very much for being with us, Richard Harvey Janow. Now here's John Scott to tell you how you may win a radio phonograph.

[John Scott]

If you have a question, send it to Juvenile Jury Box 148, New York 8, New York. If your question is used on the air, you'll receive a $100 monitor combination radio phonograph with an automatic record changer that plays both 10 and 12 inch records, plus a complete album of four brand new comedy records by George Burns and Gracie Allen, one of the top 10 albums. The decision of the judges is final and all questions become our property.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, John. Our time is up, so until next week, good luck from Peggy Booter, J.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin Morgan, Kong L.

[Jack Barry]

And from me, Jack Barry with this closing thought. Out of the mouths of babes oft times come gems.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

By.

[John Scott]

The first time I heard save food, save the peace, it didn't seem to make much sense. Then a friend explained it this way. He said that with crop failures in Europe and a steadily increasing population, there's less food than ever to feed into more mouths than ever. How does that affect us? Well, empty stomachs breed discontent and discontent can breed world wars. So for the sake of humanitarianism and our own peace and security, we must feed Europe this winter.

[Jack Barry]

How?

[John Scott]

By cutting down on our own individual intake, which incidentally now is far above the pre war rate. If we demand less meat and poultry, the grains ordinarily used to feed them can be sent to Europe. That's why we must all cooperate with our governments program. Why we must save food to save the peace and ourselves. Juvenile Joy is presented each week at the same time by Gaines Complete meal, a meal that nourishes every inch of your dog. This is John Scott speaking. This program came from New York.
