Gaines Dog Food Presents Juvenile Ju. Yes, it's Juvenile Joy brought to you by Gai Nas Gaines 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 Gain's 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 our 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 5 to 10. Reading from left to right.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Meet Dickie, all in age 7 Robin Morgan, age 5 Con Will, age 9 Peggy Bruder, age 10 Charlie Hankinson, age 6.

[Jack Barry]

Thanks children. Now let's step into the mailbag for our very first question. As you know, for every question put before the jury, the Sender receives 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. We open with a letter from a mother in Chicago. And incidentally, we'll have an important announcement for folks in and around Chicago later on in the program. She wants your advice on a problem which she sent to us and of course we're sending her a radio phonograph and a top ten album. Mrs. Th writes us that I have four year old twins, Charlie and Richard, who are always trying to imitate their daddy. They insist on wearing two piece pajamas instead of Denton's. They keep plastering their faces with their daddy's shaving cream. When he's away, they pour his shaving lotion on their heads and rub it in. What can we do? Charlie Hankinson's first well, what is it?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What do you mean he. He purs that on? He must look awful silly with all

[Jack Barry]

the things on them who must look awful silly. Charlie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Richard and Charlie.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see. They do look silly.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

That's what I thought.

[Jack Barry]

Yeah.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

You mean to say that they've washed the dishes also?

[Jack Barry]

Who said anything about washing dishes?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, don't the husbands usually wash the dishes?

[Jack Barry]

I don't know. Not being a husband, I don't feel qualified to answer that. Peggy Con Liu.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What are their names?

[Jack Barry]

Charlie and Richard.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, if the father spanks Richard, does Charlie spank Richard, too?

[Jack Barry]

I hope not. Let's have a little pity on poor Richard. Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Instead of wearing two piece pajamas, Fathers and the mother also buy dentists for the father.

[Jack Barry]

I'm not sure that he'd like that. Surprise, Robin. Vicki Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think that these boys don't know how to wax in the house. And they ought to be housebroken.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that's a good suggestion on a game dog food program anyway. Dickie. Charlie Hankinson.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, if they do that all the time, why don't they make them wear diapers? And then they won't like that so much, and then they won't do it.

[Jack Barry]

Make Charlie and Richard wear diapers?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

Instead of pajamas?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes.

[Jack Barry]

How long since you've worn diapers, Charlie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

About, let's say, five years.

[Jack Barry]

Pretty rough test, huh, Peggy Bruno?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, it's lucky that they don't have quintuplets, I should say.

[Jack Barry]

Come, Luke.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Do the neighbors boys shave?

[Jack Barry]

Neighbors boys shave? It doesn't say. Why do you say that?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe they want to join in the fun.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see. They're imitating the neighbor's boys. That may be Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why doesn't the mother tell the two twins that? Let them enjoy their youngness while they're young.

[Jack Barry]

I see. And. And conversely, lets the parents enjoy their oldness while they're old, I suppose. Do any of you kids on the juvenile jury imitate anyone? Anybody? Any of you have any talents imitating people? Who do you imitate?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I imitate Charlie McCarthy.

[Jack Barry]

You do? Would you like to imitate him for us?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yeah. Hiya. Bergen.

[Jack Barry]

I don't mean to be rude, but is that the entire imitation? Oh, there's more?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Just a part of it, but I don't remember the rest of it.

[John Scott]

Well, it was very good. Yes, indeed, it was very, very good.

[Jack Barry]

As far as you went. I'm sure that no one would have difficulty recognizing that imitation. Well, Charlie Hankinson, let's get back to you a moment. I want to compliment you on a wonderful job you did of editing the Young America section of The November issue of Magazine Digest. You certainly showed a lot of ability as a journalist. And perhaps that'll influence what you want to be in later life. What do you want to be when you get older, Charlie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

A baseball player.

[Jack Barry]

You may change your mind if you see what a swell job you've done. The November issue of Magazine Digest, which is on sale at all newsstand. And talking of writers, Peggy Gilly. Peggy. Peggy Bruder. You showed that you certainly can get words together, too. In that story that you wrote. And I Am a Juvenile Jury. Which is appearing in the November issue of Radio Mirror. And that, too, is on sale to a newsstand. Looks like the juvenile jury is turning to a bunch of literary geniuses.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Thank you.

[Jack Barry]

Now, let's go back to our problems here from Manhattan, a letter from Master JK to whom we're sending a monitor radio phonograph of a top 10 record album. Master K writes as follows. He says, my sister always moves the furniture around in my room. She wants to make it look larger. When I go into my room, I trip and fall before I can put on the light. I also can't sleep well because I'm used to having the bed in one place. And when she changes it, I just can't sleep. What can I do?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Charlie Hansen, if you want that so bad, why you don't tie Ross at Joshua? Your sister can and turn in where you like. And then she won't be able to do anything. So you want, and you won't trip and throw anything.

[John Scott]

All right, Charlie.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Peggy Bruder.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, as long as you trip and fall when you come into the room. Why don't you come in wearing a bow?

[Jack Barry]

That'll ward off everything. All right. Thank you.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Kong Lu, do you know what radar is?

[Jack Barry]

Radar? I have the general idea, yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why doesn't he use it when he goes into the room?

[Jack Barry]

Oh, I see.

[John Scott]

Very well.

[Jack Barry]

And, Con, let us never forget that Radar spelled backward is Radar.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin Morgan, do you mean, Mr. Barry, that by moving furniture you can make rooms look bigger?

[Jack Barry]

Well, I think that most interior decorators agree on that. You can make rooms look bigger? Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Moved all the chairs around in this theater. They could make it look as big as Madison Square Garden and have the circus here.

[Jack Barry]

Robin, I have news for you. We have a circus here every Sunday afternoon.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, he should tell her that she's wasting her life for nothing. Because she could be making money working for a furniture mover.

[Jack Barry]

Incidentally, Vicki Orlando, this just occurred to me that this little stunt these kids pull. It sounds to me like something you and Junior on the red skeleton would do when you get together. Doesn't that sound like a logical stunt for you kids to do?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yeah, but I. I wouldn't. I wouldn't move the furniture. I'd make Junior do that.

[Jack Barry]

Well, I think that he'd probably do it, especially if it were not Nancy Friedman's house. Now, let's get back to Peggy Bruder.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you use one of those? We know those o' Brien beds.

[Jack Barry]

Use what?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

We know those o' Brien beds.

[Jack Barry]

O' Brien beds. What are o' Brien beds?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

You know, the beds that filled up in the wall.

[Jack Barry]

Murphy beds. That's what you were driving at, Charlie Hankinson.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think that you could change your sister's furniture around, and then you could get even with a medi world like that. So she would quit it.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Dickie Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, if you don't want to bump Benny into anything, when he goes into his room, he should buy one of our beer bumpers and he should wear one in front of him and one behind.

[Jack Barry]

One behind. Yeah.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Why don't you put a white sheet near the door?

[Jack Barry]

I've got your parking con.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Why don't you put a white sheet near the door?

[Jack Barry]

All right. Thank you, Charlie.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think that you should do this. Well, besides changing your furniture around, maybe put some of your furniture in there. Then you shop a little bit, but then she won't know what's in the room. And then she'll be walking in and she would say, this doesn't belong to me. And you just keep it in there. And then she wouldn't know what to do, so she would have to change it all over again herself so that

[John Scott]

you could get in with her.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

And she did anything.

[Jack Barry]

Well, Charlie, I think that you better explain. Explained to the sister you can't sleep when the bed's moved about. And asked to decide once and for all how she'd like that furniture placed. And I think that would solve the problem.

[Jack Barry]

Now here's our very popular feature, Game's 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 where the jurors can't hear me.

[Jack Barry]

Today we have two dog guests and they Irish setters. Now back to Jack Barry. Well kids, if you think you're seeing doubles, you are. For today we have two dog guests and they look almost identical. A handsome brace they are too, with pure bright reddish brown coats, long silky ears and moderately long tapering tails that are well feathered. They stand about 27 inches at the shoulder, weigh about 70 pounds and give the impression of being a mixture of beauty and strength. Now, who knows what kind of dogs these are? Any of you want to take a guess? Dick, You Orland An Irish setter. Uh huh. What do you think? Peggy?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

An Irish setter. Charlie Irish Shudder.

[Jack Barry]

Charlie let's get it straight for the record. What kind of a dog is it?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Irish setter.

[Jack Barry]

I see.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Tom Lu Irish setter. Robin Irish setter.

[Jack Barry]

Boy, there's no doubt about it. Games dog guest of the week are Irish setters. Their father and daughter and their names are Domino and Patty. As you'd expect, these dogs originally come from Ireland, but being typically Irishmen with fun loving dispositions, they're favorites everywhere. They probably sleep in o' Brien beds. Peggy suppose you tell us what kind of work Irish setters do.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin well, I think they. They're good for hunting lions and tigers and very, very ferocious animals.

[Jack Barry]

Robin the Irish are known to be good fighters, but that's carrying it a little too far.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Khan Lu I think they're used for hunting ducks.

[Jack Barry]

Uh huh. What do you think Charlie?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think they're used for hunting wild animals.

[Jack Barry]

And what about you, Dickie Orland?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think that they're a mascot for the navy.

[Jack Barry]

No, I think that's wrong. I think they have a billy goat mascot for the navy and Navy's not very happy about that defeat they got in Pennsylvania yesterday. Peggy Broder.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, they're a sporting dog, so I suppose they hunt Game or retrieve them.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that's right. Irish setters are sporting dogs. Gun dogs, to be exact. They're excellent gun dogs, too. In fact, the Irish Setter Club of America reports that when they first came to America and were used on kinds of birds which were new to them, they made out exceptionally well. They do well at dog shows, too, thanks to their great beauty. But now, here's an interesting fact, kids. You know, for a time their great beauty hindered them somewhat rather than help them. Can anyone explain why their beauty didn't help them at first for a long time? That's a pretty difficult question. Yes, Peggy.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe when they were hunting the game or whoever they were hunting, maybe the birds or whoever they were hunting got frightened of their color or they didn't know what it was.

[Jack Barry]

No, that's not quite right, Robin.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, perhaps that was many years ago and they weren't known very well at that time. And so the people not knowing them, they didn't think that they were beautiful.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, then the birds got to know them. They had a talking acquaintance and they settled in about it. I see. Well, no, that's not right. You see, Irish setters are such beautiful dogs that a few years ago, many of them were bred for looks alone rather than for their sporting ability. Now, however, it's the other way around. They're bred more for their natural hunting ability. It's paid off, too. For Irish setters are not only winning field trials, they're winning dog shows, too.

[John Scott]

Yes, and that calls for being in good condition, Jack.

[Jack Barry]

Right, Scotty.

[John Scott]

And if they're fed Gaines complete meal, they certainly should be. For Gaines nourishes every inch of a dog contains every type of nourishment they're known to need. Yes, Gaines is a nutritionally balanced complete meal that supplies many things meat alone cannot provide. And. Just listen. Gaines is more economical to feed than any other type of dog food. If you don't believe me, compare the cost of gains with, well, say, canned dog foods. A 5 pound package of Gaines provides nourishment equal to 151 pound cans of canned dog food. Yet that Gaines 5 pound package costs less than half as much. Furthermore, since canned dog foods are cooked in the can, many of them contain up to 70% water. Gaines, however, is over 90% dry, concentrated food. You add the liquid yourself at no extra cost. Buy nourishment. Buy games. Games Complete meal is at grocery and pet supply stores. Order a package tomorrow. Remember, your dog will speak. Speak for games. America's largest selling dog food.

[Jack Barry]

Thanks, Scotty. And thanks to our games dog, guest of the week, Take a bow, Domino and Patty. No. As a regular feature of juvenile jury, we invite our younger listeners to present their problems here in person. This week we have with us 6 year old Kathy Chapman, who lives in New York. Kathy, will you step up to the microphone and tell your problem to the jury? All right, Kathy, what is your. What is your problem?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

My sister doesn't let me enjoy music. What shall I do?

[Jack Barry]

Well, kid, now let's get some questions.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Charlie, what kind of music? Just little baby pieces that I play. And she plays nursery rhymes on the records. Yes, Charlie, what kind of nursery rhymes?

[Jack Barry]

Persistent little fellow, isn't he?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, just like old King Cole and that stuff.

[Jack Barry]

Oh, yes, that's probably recorded by the King Cole Trio too. Peggy Brewer.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, how does she. How does. How does she annoy you? Well, she doesn't let me practice. And when I want to play the records, like the Betty Hutton records, she doesn't let me play then. Oh, you like Betty Hutton? Yep. Is she your favorite star? Well, yes.

[Jack Barry]

Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Nicki Roland, did you say that you like Betty Hutton? Yes,

[Jack Barry]

yes, that's what she said, Becky.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Why, you mean the lady that screams? Well, she doesn't exactly scre.

[Jack Barry]

No, she's a mighty fine actress too, Dicky.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, maybe you should keep it up and maybe you'll go to Hollywood and get a scream test too.

[John Scott]

Pretty hard to get.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin Morgan, have you got a few teeth out?

[Jack Barry]

Rather personal question, don't you think?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, did they hurt when they came out? No, I have a few teeth. Ass. And they. They didn't heard when mine came out.

[Jack Barry]

Why don't you two kids go outside and talk to them? Over.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

How were you when you lost your teeth? Well, nothing. They just bled a little bit. What did you say? The ones down here? The ones down here did, but that one, that one up there. Did you put them under your pillow? Did you?

[John Scott]

Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

How much did you get for the one on top? I got a dollar for the one.

[Jack Barry]

I wish we were sponsored by a toothpaste. Let's get back to the problem, Marvin. Okay.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What kind of music do you listen to? You do listen to? Well, what kind of music do you listen to? Well, the Betty Hutton records.

[Jack Barry]

Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

How do you listen to them?

[Jack Barry]

I wonder if buddy, Betty Hutton lost any teeth lately.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Do you play the music? How do you listen to it? Do you play it or do you listen to it by records or do you listen to it over the radio? I listen to it by record. How old is your sister?

[Jack Barry]

How Old is your sister. How old's your sister Kathy?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Two and a half.

[Jack Barry]

Two and a half? Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Vicki, do you play any instruments? No, just a piano.

[Jack Barry]

Well, that explains everything. Kids, let's take a run down here and I'll see what we can do about her sister, who doesn't let her practice what she wants to and doesn't let her enjoy her music. Dicky, what do you think she should do?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, wanna ask one question?

[John Scott]

Sure.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

When you play the piano, does your sister. Does your sister annoy you then? Yeah. Well, you know, there's just time fryers. And your sister wouldn't even know that you were playing if you had Shaman Fish up or you. You and Nora's piano.

[Jack Barry]

All right. Thank you, Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, my mother once told me that music is the language of the soul. So why don't you enjoy the music in this foreign language, and then your sister won't understand you and she'll leave you alone.

[Jack Barry]

She really can talk clear when she's got her teeth in all the way. Thank you.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you go to somewhere that you play records? Then she won't bother you. Well, where's that? Somewhere? Maybe in a candy store.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Peggy. She would be able to eat the candy. She's got trouble with her teeth too, Tom. Peggy Verder.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't your mother get her a little. Little toy piano? But of course, it better can play and let her play that. Because after all, when she grows up, she may be a very big musician.

[Jack Barry]

All right. And finally, Charlie Hankinson.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, if she wants to play it so badly, let. She can play it and tell her sister she doesn't want her to play and tell her. She tell her parents on her. And then she'll stop doing that immediately. And then she can enjoy a record sale she wants.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Charlie. I think that a schedule ought to be arranged by the mother so that when you. You are practicing that your younger sister is somewhere else in the house. So she can't be anywhere near to disturb you. Because your music is certainly very important. Thank you very much for being with us, Kathy Chapman. If you would like to attend a broadcast of juvenile jury here in New York City, write to Juvenile Jury Box 148, NY 8, and tickets will be mailed out. Now, here's that important announcement I said at the start of the show for you folks out along Chicago way. Ever since we've been on the air, we've been broadcasting right here in the Guild Theater in New York City. But on November 16th. November 16th. We'll be broadcasting from that great city in the Midwest, Chicago. This will be the juvenile jury's first out of town trip. And so if you live in or around Chicago and would like to attend the November 16th broadcast of juvenile jury, write to the ticket office, Mutual Broadcasting System, Tribune Tower, Chicago, Illinois. If you'd like to attend the juvenile jury broadcast of November 16th in Chicago, write to the ticket office, Mutual Broadcasting System, Tribune Tower, Chicago. We'll be looking forward to meeting a lot of you. Now let's go back to our questions. The next letter was sent by Mrs. Ky, who is from Chicago. Incidentally, we're sending her a $100 radio phonograph with a top 10 record album. And she writes as follows. On rainy days when my 5 year old son has to stay in the house, he insists on playing with his water pistol. He comes into the kitchen and fills his gun from a pot of soup or stew that's cooking on the stove and shoots it at the curtains and all over the room. What can I do?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Charlie Hankinson shoots it at the turret. And if he does that, they'll get through so much. Why you don't take them down at the rainy days and just turn them away and turn them back off on sunny day. So we won't be able to.

[Jack Barry]

Charlie, Charlie, just one question. What did you call those things that

[Juvenile Jury Children]

are hanging up the curtains?

[Jack Barry]

Curtains. Atta boy. I thought you said curtains. Thank you, Mirror.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Why don't you waterproof the house?

[Jack Barry]

Waterproof the house? That'd probably be a pretty costly operation.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, for that matter, Mr. Barry, why don't you soupproof the house?

[Jack Barry]

So waterproofing is a little more logical.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Maybe he shoots his water pistol because he gets a bang out of it.

[Jack Barry]

Well, Tom Russell.

[John Scott]

Boo. I'm sure he does.

[Jack Barry]

Dickie Orland.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, the mother should make the curtains out of sponge. Then when he shoots on them and they're ready to eat, all the mother has to do is wring out the curtains.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Deb. I think you've all given me some very, very excellent suggestions. Do we have time for another letter or we get to our next in person? No, I guess we haven't got time for another letter. But our jurors will be back in just a moment with more questions and answers. Now here's John Scott and Gaines. Talking dog.

[John Scott]

You know, Gainesy, I've been thinking. Your vocabulary needs a new word. Like what? Like K, R, U, N C, H, O, N. Crunch on. Yes, fella Gaines. Crunch on. Gosh, you got that right off. And you, you know boy, you'll go for crunch on right off too. For crunch on is game's meal compressing the crunchy bite sized pellets. What do you think of that? That's good. You bet it's good for you too. You see, crunch on like game's complete meal, nourishes every inch of a dog. It contains everything dogs are known to need. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, plus all the essential vitamins and minerals and more of the required amount. You want crunch on? Then sit up fella and I'll toss you one there. Nice catch, James. He isn't crunch on a swell reward for a trick well done. Come on, isn't it? Yes. Yes indeed. Yes is right, boy. So next time master goes shopping talkin to bring you gaines crunch off. And what else boy? Games complete bill.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Yes, fellas. Play it smart.

[John Scott]

And always be sure you speak speak for games. America's largest selling dog.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you Scotty and James. Here's our second in person guest of the week. He is four four and a half year old Eugene Snyder of the Bronx, New York. Gene, will you you please tell your problem to the jury?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

When I get up in the morning, my mother wants me to wreath. But I want to play. I'm waving up the journey.

[Jack Barry]

I see you up in the morning, you want to play, but your mother wants you to eat. All right, let's see what the kids think about it.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Charlie, what do you want? What do you mean want to play? I do too. I play to 10 o' clock when I don't have to go to school. Peggy, how old are you? Four years. And then do you have to go to school? School? Yes. What school is it? Holy Spirit School.

[Jack Barry]

Holy Spirit School. All right. Any other questions here.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Han Lu, what time do you get up? Seven o'. Clock. What time do you have to go to school?

[Jack Barry]

What time do you go to school, Jane? About 8:30, I think.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

8:30 or so.

[Jack Barry]

Yes. Huh?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin, what time do you go to bed? Seven o'. Clock. Well, what time do you wake up? Seven o'. Clock.

[Jack Barry]

What time do you have your breakfast? Gene really thinks about these things, doesn't he?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

What time do you. How long? Hours.

[Jack Barry]

Let him, Robin. Excuse me? Do you let him answer this one question? What? What time do you have your breakfast?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think 7 o'. Clock.

[Jack Barry]

A lot of confusion at 7 o', clock, isn't there?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

How. How long do you sleep? How long do you sleep?

[Jack Barry]

Oh, Robin, we'll be here all afternoon before he figures this one out. It's seven to seven is 12 hours. I'll figure that one out. For Jean, that's pretty hard.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Vicki Orlando, can you tell time? No. Well, why don't you tell your mother that your stomach can't tell time either and you don't want to know from nothing.

[Jack Barry]

Charlie Hankinson, did you have another question you wanted to ask?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

No.

[Jack Barry]

No. Okay. Kentucky Burn.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you want to eat?

[Jack Barry]

Why don't you want to eat?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

James, why don't you want to eat? Cause I'm not hungry in the morning. Why does your mother want to eat? I get strength to go out and play.

[Jack Barry]

Give you strength to go out and play. I see. That's a good reason. Yes.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin well, how old are you?

[Jack Barry]

He's. He said before he's four and a half.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Robin well, aren't you hungry after that long 12 hour sleep? No. Tell me, is there anything special that you get for breakfast? No, I really don't have anything special.

[Jack Barry]

Robin let's take a quick run down here and find out what time you should get up and whether you go out to play or whether you should be allowed to eat. What do you think, Dickie? Shall he eat first or play first?

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, you should drink a lot of water before you go to bed. And then you'll be so busy getting up during the night that.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, Richard. Thank you very much. Robin Morgan.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, why don't you and your mother compromise that instead of really eating when you wake up, you'll just take about 15 or 19 vitamin pills and then you want to eat.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you very much. Go out and play, Kang Lu.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, I think you should eat before you play, then it'll give you more strength.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Peggy Brewer.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

Well, after such a long night's sleep, you definitely should. And you should have vitamins anyway.

[Jack Barry]

All right, Charlie Hankerson.

[Juvenile Jury Children]

I think that you should eat before you apply.

[Jack Barry]

I think it's generally agreed by the members of the juvenile jury that you better eat something before you play. Thank you very much for being with us, Gene Snyder. Now here's John Scott to tell you how you may win a radio phone grab.

[John Scott]

If you have a question, send it to the juvenile jury, box 148, New York, 8th 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 ten albums. The decision of the judges is final and all entries become our property.

[Jack Barry]

Thank you, John. Our time is up, so until next

[Juvenile Jury Children]

week, good luck from Dickie Roland, Robin Morgan, Kyle, Peggy Bruder, Charlie Hickinson, and

[Jack Barry]

for me, Jack Barry. With this closing thought. Out of the mouths of babes. All times come gems. Come on. Daniel Jones.
