Then here's what's to it. Ladies with Jay Stewart. Thank you.
Host
Hello folks.
Jay Stewart
This is Jay Stewart saying welcome to what's New, ladies. Brought to you by the makers of Hunt Foods. Yes sir, Hunt Foods make that swell. Hunts tomato sauce, hunt's peaches and 90 other fine foods. That's why it's always.
Host
That's right.
Jay Stewart
Hunt for the best. And today I'm gonna go hunting for some best sellers. You ready? Good books lately, ladies? Well, if you have, don't tell me about them right now because I'll bet we can find more interesting stories right here in this studio today than we'd find between the covers of books. For instance, do you know that all day long, five days a week, all the radio shows are written and presented just for housewives? You know, I. I realized I never stopped to find out exactly what a housewife really is. So last night I looked it up in the dictionary and this is what Webster has to say. Housewife. One who manages with skill and economy. Well, it just sort of seemed to me that my housewife wife does more than manage with skill and economy. So let's find out what some of you ladies think. I'm going to jaywalk down into the studio audience and ask several housewives what their definition of a housewife is. That is what they think a housewife should be to be a good housewife. Excuse me. I'm going to go right down here and say hello to this lady. Will you stand up and meet me, please?
Host
This is Mrs. White.
Jay Stewart
Mrs. White, could you come out in the aisle and just jump across your husband's lap there? Mrs. White, you've been a housewife, I imagine for quite a few years. How long?
Mrs. White
Oh, over 32 years.
Jay Stewart
Over 32 years. Now you're from where right now?
Mrs. White
From Los Angeles.
Jay Stewart
Just now. You've spent all 32 years here?
Mrs. White
No, back in Massachusetts.
Jay Stewart
Tell me, what would you say your definition of A housewife would be Mrs. Light.
Mrs. White
Well, a woman's work is never done. They always say a man's work is done at the setting of the sun. But a woman's work is never done. She can always find something, especially if she has a family.
Jay Stewart
I can imagine. Did you raise a family?
Mrs. White
Yes.
Jay Stewart
How many?
Mrs. White
Three.
Jay Stewart
You had three. And you, Your work was overdone.
Mrs. White
Well, you can keep going. You can always find something. For instance, what was always mending?
Jay Stewart
Always mending?
Mrs. White
Always mending. After you think you've done, you think, well, there's some mending.
Jay Stewart
Or you can always find something.
Mrs. White
Always find something to do.
Jay Stewart
Who causes all the work originally from the mending?
Mrs. White
Well, I think both the boys and girls both the same.
Host
Yeah.
Jay Stewart
Of course, dad never has anything to do.
Mrs. White
Yes, I've been a widow a long time.
Jay Stewart
Oh, I see. Well, I'm also glad to have your definition of a housewife. Let's go and find a couple of more here if we can. Hello. Here's one.
Mrs. White
Who is Mrs. Marie Benson.
Jay Stewart
Come here, Marie Benson. Stand right up here and say hello to me. How are you? Where are you from?
Mrs. White
Oh, L.A. from L. A.
Jay Stewart
And you've been a housewife how long?
Mrs. White
22 years.
Jay Stewart
22 years. What was your definition of a housewife?
Mrs. White
Housewife is really a jack of all trades. She's got to be a teacher. Teacher, seamstress, cook, housekeeper and entertainer. A little bit of everything.
Jay Stewart
I would say a person like that would come at a pretty high price. How's your salary every week?
Host
Fair.
Jay Stewart
Fair?
Mrs. White
Yeah, pretty good.
Jay Stewart
Do you handle the money?
Mrs. White
Oh, no, I get the majority of it.
Jay Stewart
How do you work that?
Mrs. White
Well, he comes home and hands me most of the paycheck and keeps what he needs.
Host
Week. Married.
Jay Stewart
How long?
Mrs. White
22 years.
Jay Stewart
He got him trained. All right, Mrs. Benson, let me go over on the other side of the house, if I can now and get another little bit of a definition of a housewife from a housewife over here. Here's one. Hello. Who are you?
Mrs. White
I'm Roma Murphy.
Jay Stewart
Roma Murphy. You're a housewife for about how long?
Mrs. White
36 years.
Jay Stewart
About 36 of them. Now, tell me what you think a housewife actually defined would be.
Mrs. White
Well, housewife has to keep things running smooth. Business and it says here it manages.
Jay Stewart
With skill and economy.
Mrs. White
Well, they have to be economical, too.
Jay Stewart
How do you mean?
Mrs. White
Well, make pennies count. Make every penny count?
Jay Stewart
Yeah. You know how to make every penny count?
Mrs. White
By buying hunt food, I suppose.
Jay Stewart
Don't suppose you know. All right, six cans of Hunts tomato sauce. Are just wonderful. And it is, believe me, a penny stretcher. It's a meal stretcher, too. It's the lowest cost meal stretcher ever. And you know what that means these days, don't you?
Mrs. White
Surely.
Jay Stewart
You're sort of a jack of all trades yourself.
Mrs. White
I sure am.
Jay Stewart
Your family's how big?
Mrs. White
Just my husband and I now. But we've had. I've had two children.
Jay Stewart
Had two children.
Mrs. White
Got a grandchild.
Jay Stewart
Oh, wonderful. Proud grandma.
Mrs. White
Oh, yes, indeed.
Jay Stewart
Well, good. By the way, I'd like you other two ladies, incidentally, to have six cans of that delicious Hunts tomato sauce too. You can use it to blend macaroni or noodles and an expensive cut of meat or leftover vegetables. Just about anything into a delicious dish. It makes it taste better and go farther. Believe me, that's one way to be a good housewife.
Host
I'll tell you that.
Jay Stewart
Audience, you've heard these three ladies now give their definitions of what they think a housewife is. I'm going to leave it up to you to tell me which definition you like the best. Which explanation of what a housewife is is your favorite today. So by your applause, let's go. Number one and number two and number three. First of all, number one was Mrs. White over on that side of the house. Then number two was Mrs. Benson right over there. And number three was number. The last lady to whom I just taught. Oh, gotta run over to the other side to Mrs. Benson and say hello to her again. Mrs. Benson, looks as though you really know what a housewife is. I didn't ask you about your family. How many did you have?
Mrs. White
Oh, I have a daughter and a son and a grandchild.
Jay Stewart
Yeah, just about the same as our other lady over there. Well, now, for. For being such a wonderful housewife. And I can imagine you. You like to eat, don't you?
Mrs. White
Oh, do I? You took me over.
Jay Stewart
That's what I meant. I.
Mrs. White
There's one question I'd like to ask you, though. What's become of huns of pork and beans?
Jay Stewart
What's become of them? You just can't buy them.
Mrs. White
Oh, marvelous. I just can't buy them anyplace.
Jay Stewart
Go ahead.
Mrs. White
You know, I just take some of those. A couple of those cans and put a little tomato sauce on them and a few strips of salt pork or bacon and put them in the.
Jay Stewart
What else have you done with hush tomato sauce?
Mrs. White
Oh, I have my spaghetti and I have them on my gravy. Little bit of everything.
Jay Stewart
You keep talking. I love to hear you. I'm going to talk A little myself. Right. Now, since you are the winner today, I think you'd like to have a gift.
Mrs. White
Oh, naturally.
Host
Sure.
Jay Stewart
Well, you've got.
Mrs. White
Huh. Didn't expect anything.
Jay Stewart
Okay, Goodbye. No, sir, Here is your gift. Two pairs of Lady Pepper luxury muslin sheets and matching pillowcases in a beautiful shade of blue. Thank you for being a grand housewife.
Host
A wonderful definition.
Jay Stewart
Here's the lady with her hand.
Mrs. White
I think they got. They forgot one very essential thing of a housewife.
Jay Stewart
What was that?
Mrs. White
I remember about my mother. Instead of joining women's club, she was always at home. She was really a housewife.
Jay Stewart
She really spent her time in the home.
Mrs. White
When children came home from school, they found their mother there.
Jay Stewart
Mother there.
Host
Well, I think that's a very great point to make.
Jay Stewart
There's a lot of them that don't these days. Right. Thank you very much. Well, that's just exactly what I said a moment ago. You see what I mean about finding more interesting things in the studio than you can find in any book anywhere? Webster never described a housewife that well in any of his dictionaries. And by the way, what heroine in fiction could ever be as interesting or as brave as any American woman as the women who belong to our what's Doing Ladies Will Show Em club, for instance, they're the women who don't like the long skirts and want to wear their skirts right where they are now. And if there are any more women listening in who feel the same way, you just send your name and address to me, J. Stewart, box 949, Hollywood 28, California, and you'll become a member of our We'll Show Them club. I will send you a club emblem entitling you to wear your skirts right where they are, and by golly, we'll show them. And incidentally, those of you who haven't received your club emblem yet, don't worry, we're getting them out to you just as fast as we can. Well, right now I want to have a serious conversation with a lady who told me just before the show that she did a great deal of reading. Come up here and say hello to me.
Mrs. White
Hello.
Jay Stewart
How are you?
Mrs. White
Fine. From Clinton, Indiana, formerly now of Los Angeles.
Jay Stewart
Your name is Mary Lyons. I'm doing a lot of asking questions here. You want to ask me anything, Ms. Lyons?
Mrs. White
No, not right now.
Jay Stewart
Later maybe.
Mrs. White
There's not too many around.
Jay Stewart
What?
Mrs. White
When there's not too many around, Mrs. Lyons?
Jay Stewart
Read any good books lately?
Mrs. White
Huh?
Jay Stewart
I'll change the subject. What should be read lately, by the way?
Mrs. White
Well, we buy all the leading magazines like the Red Book and the Journal, and you read the car, you read.
Jay Stewart
The condensations in those sort of. Or the full books.
Mrs. White
Read everything.
Jay Stewart
What kind of books do you like the best?
Mrs. White
Well, I like all those magazines. I like the Red Books and I like.
Jay Stewart
Well, I mean, what kind of stories in them, though?
Mrs. White
Oh, well, I like love stories.
Jay Stewart
You do?
Host
Why?
Mrs. White
Well. Oh, I just like to read them.
Jay Stewart
You do? You kind of dream back in the days when you were.
Mrs. White
When I was young.
Jay Stewart
Yeah, me too. I do it all the time. Imagine. You ought to be up on the title of bestsellers down popular in the past few years, if you read a lot. Mrs. Lyons, I'm going to tell you something about the stories of certain books, and you tell me to which bestseller seller I'm referring. You think you can do it? I don't know. Well, for everyone you can name, I'll give you a bestseller in return, okay? All right. Now, this first bestseller is all about a lone bit of vegetation that grew in a certain cosmopolitan city in the eastern section of the United States. And no coaching, please.
Mrs. White
Last hunt made.
Jay Stewart
No, I wish it were. No, this is a lone piece of vegetation. Just one.
Mrs. White
A tomato.
Jay Stewart
No, this isn't that. It isn't a tomato. It grew somewhere back east. And them bums are going to be awful mad at you. What about it? What was the title of the book?
Mrs. White
Tree in Brooklyn. Tree Green book.
Jay Stewart
A Tree Grew in Brooklyn. That's right. It was really a tree. Was it, Mrs. Lyon? I've always heard it was only a flat bush.
Mrs. White
That wasn't.
Jay Stewart
That's what they call them. That's what they call them, huh? All right, here's a really tough one for you. Now, this next bestseller is all about rural life. It's a very funny book. It's just full of yolks. The egg and I is right. Yes, sir. You know, I'm at work writing a book right now, Mrs. Lyons.
Mrs. White
You are?
Jay Stewart
It's all about a peachy little dish that I'm very closely associated with. You know what I'm going to call it?
Mrs. White
Peaches.
Jay Stewart
Don't laugh when you say that, Mrs. Lyons. No, I'm going to call it the Peach and I. Oh, the Peach.
Mrs. White
Now that'd be swell.
Jay Stewart
You know what it's all about?
Mrs. White
Peaches. Those good peaches that fly spinning around.
Jay Stewart
I don't have to talk today. This is Benson and Mrs. Lyons doing all my commercials for me here. It's so true. Those Hunt peaches are delicious, you know that? They're really something to write about, Mrs. Lyons. They're luscious, they're plump, they're tender and they're juicy. I'm out of adjectives already. You see, the Hunt folks select only the finest fresh orchard grown peaches and they see to it that they're hand picked and speeded to nearby Hunt canneries to be packed without delay. And those fair peaches are packed in heavy sugar syrup, Mrs. Lyons. You know, it's the heavy sugar syrup that brings out the finest natural fruit flavor of every peach. Oh, I just love those Hunts peaches served plain or fancy. And so will you, Mrs. Lyons. In fact, you might say I'm writing a bestseller about a bestseller. Hunts Peaches. Now you're going to recognize that best seller on all the grocery store shelves by its bright red cover. And it comes in several editions too. Those peaches come in different sized cans for different sized families and they sell at popular prices. So Mrs. Lyons, for telling me the two bestsellers that I asked you, I'm going to give you two bestsellers. Two cans of Hunt's peaches. There must be you one of the slices and one of the halves. And in addition to that, the Hunt folks would like you to have a beautiful parker pen and pencil set. Mrs. Lyons, you're very welcome and thank.

Can't say a why? You see, maybe I can I say to you I good. Maybe I might be good I say to you I see that's what I tell you. You have nothing to Mr. Kowski and everything to gain. All right, so you. You feel that you're a good picker? That's what I think. So you. You think so? Well, I've taken a look at these questions up here. They're not so tough. Perhaps if you feel you're a good picker, maybe you could bring this horse in to win. What do you think? Maybe. Well, what would you like to do? Would you like to ride it? To win, to place or to show? It pays $18 to win. $16 for place and $14 for show. Where do you think you'd like to ride the horse? Where do you think you could bring him in? Do you think you can bring them in to win? Replace or his young? Maybe I can bring them in. Where? To the point. To the win. To win where? That's wonderful. Would you like me to help you up on this horse, Mr. Koski? You think you can make it all by yourself? Maybe. I don't know. All right. To win, that means you must answer three questions out of three to ride home in the guidas. Now, hold on. Here we go. These questions are all typed as to kingdom, vegetable, mineral or animal, and you are to take a pick. All right, you're away from the post. Now place the grandstand. Here is your first question. To what kingdom does oil belong? Vegetable, mineral or animal? Oil. Yes, I have belong to the vegetable. Well, you can delay off in vegetable now. Oil. They make oil from vegetable? Yes, they absolutely do make oil. You're absolutely right, Mr. Cowsby. They make oil for vegetable, and they make it for mineral, too. All right, you're ahead by one length. You're going down the back stretch. And here is your second question. To what kingdom does coal belong, Vegetable, mineral, or animal? Coal. Coal. What kingdom does that belong to? Cold. Mineral. I'm sorry, Mr. Kowski. Coal belongs to vegetable. It is formed by partial decomposition of vegetable matter. I'm sorry, you missed a question, but you also qualify for the American Handicap at the end of the show. Good luck to you. Mr. Couch, Mr. Martin Heffernan, I'd like.
Jay Stewart
You to meet the man who's going to help you bring home a winner. Eddie Mark.
Host
How do you do, Mr. Heman, let's step right up here. How is that microphone for Mr. Hefner? It's perfectly all right. Where you from, Mr. Heside? Heights, New Jersey. Seaside Heights, New Jersey. How long you been in the service, Mr. Hat? 20 months. 20 months? Have you been overseas? No, thank God. Say that Again, right in there. Thank God. No, that's right. I like this country. That's. Everybody should like this country. What did you do before you went to service, Mr. Havana? I was in the real estate insurance business. And how'd you do? Not bad. You think you go back into the same business when you get out of the service? The business is still going on right now. It's terrific, isn't it? It's not the head. It's very good. Did you learn things in the service you might want to use when you get out of the service? Do you think? I mean, besides, that's what I was thinking of. I knew I could tell by that look in your eye. No, I think I've learned a lot of things in the next war. I'll try to keep out of it. Let's hope there isn't gonna be any next war, Mr. Heaven, huh? All right. If you take a look at the tote board up there, Mr. Heaven. I'll take smoker for place. You will write in here. You take smoker for place, Smoker for place. You're not gonna take any chances. Smoker means cigarette brands. It pays $16 to win, $14 for place and $12 for show. What do you know about cigarette players, Manhattan? Do you smoke a lot? Lucky's Camels in Chesterfields. Ouch. Lucky's Camels in Chesterfields. We ought to get something for doing that, shouldn't we? All right. You picked it for place. That means you must answer two questions out of three to ride home in the money. All right, here we go. Wait in the post down past the grandstand. Here is your first question. Whether there's a shortage or not, what cigarette would you walk a mile for a camel? Absolutely, sir. You're a head by a length. Here comes your next question. What cigarette would you smoke to retain your composure? When you are irritated and you're excited, you fall down. No, no, and. Sorry, no. Now just second. And you fall down. And somebody says, don't get excited. Light or what? Be nonchalant. Smoke a Murad. Absolutely correct, Mr. Hampton. You went to. You went to place. You answered two questions out of three. And you wrote home in the gas. And you collect $14. And you also qualify for the American Handicap at the end of the show.
Jay Stewart
Hey, here's Mrs. Carrie Kemper, all saddled up and ready to ride home with the money.
Host
Ah, how do you do, Mrs. Kempner? Welcome to Wynn Place A show.
Mrs. White
Thank you.
Host
Where are you from? Step right up to the rail.
Mrs. White
Covington, Kentucky.
Host
Covington, Kentucky. How long have you been out here, Mrs. Kemper?
Mrs. White
About four weeks.
Host
About four weeks. How do you like it out here?
Mrs. White
Oh, fine. This is my fourth trip out here.
Host
This is your fourth trip out here? What do you do, come out every year on a vacation?
Mrs. White
No. Every few years.
Host
Every. Every few years. Well, I think you're certainly loyal to this climate out here, aren't you? Coming from Kentucky, that's very beautiful country out there, isn't it?
Mrs. White
Yes, it is, I think.
Host
And how do you like it here compared to.
Mrs. White
Well, I like it out here.
Host
Step right up to the rail. That's the idea. And talk right in there, because we. We hope. We've got millions of listeners.
Mrs. White
I hope some of them listen down there, too.
Host
They're all listening to you in Covington, Kentucky. Have you taken a look at the chalkboard up there, Mrs. Kemp?
Mrs. White
I'll take Lady Killer.
Host
You will take Lady Killer? Lady Killer pertains to Cheche la Femme, which means Find the woman. It pays $20 to win, $18 for place and $16 for show.
Mrs. White
I'll take place.
Host
You will take place. All right, Mrs. Stephanie, you made your own decision. You go for place. That means you must answer two questions out of three to ride home in the Mizzou. All right, you're away from the post, down past the grandstand. On the first question. In that song Frankie and Johnny, who was the woman in the song Frankie and Johnny, who was the woman?
Mrs. White
Frankie.
Host
Frankie is absolutely correct. That is absolutely right, Mrs. Kempner. Frankie was the woman in the song Frankie and Johnny. All right, you're ahead by one left. You're going down, back stretch. And here is your next question. What is the feminine counterpart of Bachelor? What is the old maid? What would you call an old maid?
Mrs. White
Bachelor girl.
Host
Well, there's something else beside a bachelor girl. You know it. Come on.
Mrs. White
Modern woman.
Host
Well, something else. All right. I'm sorry, Mrs. Kempney. You have another question. The feminine counterpart of Bachelor is Spinster. Now, you're neck and neck with one horse. You're going past the Grandstead, and you are turning for home. And here is your next question. What is the feminine counterpart of Hero?
Mrs. White
Heroine?
Host
Heroine is absolutely correct, Mrs. Kempner. You went for place. You answer two questions out of three. You get the $18 and you qualify for the American Handicap at the end of the show.
Jay Stewart
Eddie, I'd like you to meet our.
Host
Next jockey, Heron Stevens. Harry, welcome. Heron Stevens. Heron, welcome. To Win Places show, step right up in front of the post rail. That's the idea. Where you from, Heron?
Jay Stewart
Dallas, Texas.
Host
Dallas, Texas. How long you been in the service?
Jay Stewart
Four years in January.
Host
Four years in January. How long have you been overseas? 18 months. 18 months. What branch of the service you in? Marine Corps. Marine Corps. Do you expect to get out soon or do you expect to be in.
Jay Stewart
I expect to get out in January.
Host
You expect to get out in January? What did you do before you went in the. In the service? Huh?
Jay Stewart
Well, I'm just about a jack of all trades.
Host
Jack of all trades. That's all right. What do you expect to do when you get out of the service?
Jay Stewart
Go to school.
Host
Go back to school. Well, that's good. What special course are you taking? Anything special?
Jay Stewart
Well, I figure on taking electrical engineering.
Host
Electrical engineering? Well, there's a big field for that, and you should do all right. Take a look at that tote board up there. Heron, what would you like to ride this evening?
Jay Stewart
Well, interpreter.
Host
Interpreter? Interpreter means translations. It pays $35 to win $30 for place and $25 for show. What do you know about translations, Harry?
Jay Stewart
Not a thing.
Host
You don't know anything about translations. Why did you pick that horse?
Jay Stewart
I don't know anything about plays either.
Host
You don't? Well, a fellow doesn't know anything about either of the categories. Hasn't got. All right, Heron, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. You said you don't know anything about the category. Instead of going out to win, maybe you should go for some other place. If you don't know too much about it. You might be able to have one or two questions correct, but you might not be able to answer all three. What do you think you should do?
Jay Stewart
Place.
Host
You would go for place. That means you only have to answer 2. Place. It pays $50, and let's see what we can do for you. You have to answer two questions to ride home in the Gitas. All right, here you go. Your first question. You're away from the post, down past the grass stand. A mess of concreted material perennially rotating on its axis will not accumulate an accretion of bryophytic vegetation a rolling stone gathers. No, Absolutely. All right. You have answered one question. You're ahead by one lens. You go in town, past the grandstand, and you want to change this phrase back to sense. Everything that coruscates with affluence is not ipso facto auris. Everything that coruscates with affluence is not ipso facto auris. He said it. Come on.
Jay Stewart
I didn't hear anything.
Host
Don't. Don't. Think you can answer it?
Jay Stewart
Give it to me once again.
Host
All the things that coruscate with affluence is not ipso facto auris ours, not gold. Absolutely correct. You answer two questions, I will treat the right home in the money. You get the $30 and you qualify to the American handicapped at the end of the show. Well, folks, the big moment has arrived. The event everyone has been waiting for. The American Handicap. The contestants are all lined up at the post. They're wearing jockey caps and a sign bearing the name of their horse. And they're all riding hobby horses. Now, I have a list of questions. As I call out the questions, the first contestant to shout out the name of his or her horse gets a chance to answer the question. If the answer is right, that jockey moves one length forward. Whoever crosses the finish line first or whoever is ahead at the end of the list wins the American Handicap purse, which tonight amounts to. How much is it? It is $43. All right, now, here is a word of caution to you jockeys. Be sure you know the right answer before shouting the name of your horse. If you know the answer, shout the name of your horse. Then we'll ask you what the question is for. If you win the chance to answer and the answer is wrong, you are disqualified from the race and you're sent back to the park. All right, the horses are all lined up at the post. Here we go. And out with the American handicap questions. Here is your first question. Can cats see in the dark? Shout out the neighbor. Short order, sir.
Mrs. White
Yes, sir.
Host
I'm sorry, short order. They know they can see better in semi light than humans. But no animal can see in absolute darkness. I'm sorry, short order. You go back to the barn. Here's your next question. How many humps has a dromedary? How many humps has a dromedary? Lady Killer?
Mrs. White
Two.
Host
I'm sorry, Lady Killer. A dromedary has one. And you go back to the barn. Here is your third question. Would you call a postcard a government card that requires no stamp? Would you call a post interpreter? What do you say?
Jay Stewart
I say that it requires a stamp.
Host
He is absolutely correct. It does require a stamp. Interpreter, answer that question. He takes a step ahead of the field. He is now one length ahead. Here is your next one. What would wishes have to be for beggars to ride? What is it?
Jay Stewart
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
