Get your free package of jolly time popcorn tomorrow when you buy craft oil. I found out a bastard trying to raise a family is a busy man, even with a good housekeeper like Brady. This gift Sleeve spends all day up to his neck at the water department and when he gets home he's over his head trying to keep up with Leroy. Is Bertie who tracked mud in the house? Is that mud back in here again? Yeah I'm afraid it is. Bertie didn't do it and it wasn't you was it? No. And it wasn't that vacuum cleaner salesman that came by here today because all he got was one foot in the door. Well I shouldn't have asked a silly question because the tracks lead right to the refrigerator. Yeah I see you know how it is in Leroy when he comes home from school. He makes tracks right for the refrigerator. Yes. And where's the evening paper, Bertie? I think it's on the coffee table under all them books. Oh my goodness. Who dumped the public library on my coffee table? All them books belong to Babs. Leroy brought them home with him. And that boy has enough trouble with his own books without taking on somebody else. Oh they're going to do homework together. Good. I hope some of Babs' brilliance rubs off on Leroy. Yes. Good girl. Like you said. Yes yes. Hello Babs. Hello Mr. Gildesley. We bother you if we do our homework over here, Uncle. Not at all. Use my study if you like. Gee thanks. Come on Babs. Aren't we going to take our books? Oh yeah. I wonder if he really has his mind on homework. Leroy how'd you do on that algebra test today? Yeah who knows. Algebra's for the birds. Yeah I didn't like algebra either. But that's not the right attitude for the boy to have. Well let's start on something else. Let's learn our history. Okay. I better concentrate on my newspaper. Don't want to eat straw. Get something Babs. What? Saturdays. Herbie would ask me every Saturday if I didn't discourage him. Well I'm glad you do Babs. What does this have to do with history? With Herbie. I'd much rather go with somebody who takes my way. Would you go with Herbie? Come on let's study history. He'd find out if he wasn't there some Saturday. This is homework? The only date he's interested in is the matinee. He is confined to girls. I hope it doesn't reflect in his schoolwork. Oh no. He don't seem to be worried about how he's doing his school. Oh. He brought his report card home today and he wasn't even trembling. Where is his report card? It is. Now let's see what it says. Attitude B minus. Courtesy B plus. Going up. English B minus. History C. Going down. Algebra D minus. Hit the box. Oh. This is the worst report card he's ever brought home. Studying. I got the word. I also got your report card. Well go see what's about Did you hear me? I said I got your report card. Aren't you a little concerned? I wasn't till I saw it pass everything. But your grades are going down. Next semester. I'm very disappointed in your showing this semester. Now hike up to your room and study until you're called for dinner. I didn't study huh? My brain's worn out. Well hit the books young man or something else may get worn out. Okay. Gosh you think I'd. That's what we want to guard against. Excuse me. Yes really what time do you want dinner. You know there's no hurry this evening. I want to give Leroy time to absorb a little learning. Yes. George I'll nip this attitude in the back. You have to be an alert parent these days. Yes. Good thing I know how to cope with these things. Yes. I think I'll phone grace. You're going to see a Friday night. Yes but I want to check with her now. I wonder if she's on the ball at school the way I am at home. Leroy's on the extension upstairs. Yes. Off the phone. I'm going by school tomorrow and see what's going on. Oh Leroy might have been studying. Maybe you caught him on the phone during the recess. We'll try to defend it. They weren't studying and you know it. All they talk about is movies, dances, dates. Well maybe he's concentrating on the social sciences. They have a D minus an algebra but he's A plus in the social sciences. All right. Leroy may be seeing history in D and algebra but he's A plus in the social sciences. Bertie please. Mr. Gill please you know what Leroy's A plus in. Yes Bertie. That's right he's A plus in the social sciences. I could talk this over with grace on one of our dates but Leroy's attitude demands action. Oh hello Rockmore. Hello Grace. I was just on my way to your classroom. Well if you want to be admitted to my class let me see your junior high credit. This is about Leroy. Oh oh there's the bell I can't talk now. Do you mind if I slip in the back of the room and observe. Not at all. Why don't you go through that door. Thank you Grace. See you later. There's something about a school feature in high heels. Oh but I came here to observe Leroy. There's Leroy. He doesn't see me. I wonder why they always make him sit up front. Here comes Grace. Kids will settle down now. There's Bab sitting right across from Leroy. That's a big help. I believe this is the day we'd have our little oral quiz about the Adam. A subject we're just beginning to understand. Yeah I'm glad I came. You know the earth is composed of many elements. Oxygen, gold, copper, carbon and so on. Now each of these elements has built a tiny particle called Adam. Oop Leroy isn't listening. He just passed a note to Babs. What is the meaning of the Greek word Adam. I see a number of hands showing but I'd like to ask Leroy. She saw him pass the note. Would you like to answer the question Leroy? It seems after the Greek word which means uncutable. That's correct. But recently they found ways to flip the Adam with a machine called a Psycophan. Thank you Susan. A Psycophan is a machine. Susan. Susan dear. Let somebody else answer the question. Yes Miss Huddled. Leroy should spend more time with Susan. That's what a cyclotron is. Component. Leroy? At least he's honest. Any questions class? Yes. How do I get out of here? We're a former member of the school board. Yeah I think I'll go into Pee Vee's and aspirin, atomic aspirin. Hello Pee Vee. Hello Mr. Guernsey. I know for you the captain. No I won't order yet. I'm waiting for Grace Tuttle. You don't care. She's meeting me here after school. Can't you wait till the sun goes down to do your courting? Well I want to talk to her about Leroy. He isn't getting much out of school. Leroy always stuck with me as being a pretty intelligent boy. I sat in his class today. He doesn't even know what's in an Adam. He doesn't? And that's the smallest thing there is in the world. Yeah it's a big question. What is in an Adam, Mr. Guernsey? What's in it? Well it... What did that little girl say was in it? Thanks for the tape. Well they didn't teach me that when I went to school. Yeah me either. The big scientific discovery in my day was the automobile. Well hello Gage. Hello Frott Morton. Mr. TV. Good afternoon Miss Tuttle. Would you like something from the fountain? I think I'd like a lemonade. Yes. I want a big cherry Coke Pee Dee and heavy on the cherry. Well but only one of those to a customer. I'm glad you called back Frott Morton. I wondered why you slipped out of the classroom. Oh you knew why. Leroy's really a dear. Well I hate to have to tell you that I'm a little disappointed with his progress in school. Well I'm afraid Leroy's developing outside interest. Yeah since you discovered girls he can't concentrate on anything else. What are we going to do about it? We? Well you're his teacher aren't you? Well yes but I'm hardly in a position to squelch every case of puppy love. I have my hands full in class without being a counselor for Cupid. Excuse me lemonade from Miss Tuttle and a cherry Coke heavy on the cherry for the water to me. Thank you Miss TV. Now getting back to Leroy. Oh Frott Morton I wouldn't worry about Leroy. We teachers see this happen all the time. Well it's just part of growing up. That's not a very good answer. Oh. He's neglecting his studies for a girl. What if I neglected my water job for a girl. Where would I be? In hot water. I can understand how you might become so enamored of a girl you let things slide at your office. Me? It could happen to any man if a girl put her mind to it. Oh come now Grace. You and I have days but I don't let you interfere with my work. I'm just a side issue. Well I put first things first. Yeah. I'm a businessman. I'd never let you turn my head. Oh you wouldn't. Yeah I'm not that gullible am I TV. No I wouldn't say that. We'll be back in just a minute.

Remember both the popcorn and the certificate are absolutely free when you buy that wonderful salad and cooking oil craft oil gets to know quite a lot about his customers and personally I think one of Mr. Goldisch's troubles is that he worries too much about me Roy and his teacher when he should be worrying about himself and the teacher. I could tell by the way her eyes sparked yesterday that she was going to teach somebody a lesson. No excuse me customer. Hello baby. I was just thinking about you and Miss Tuttle. Oh how are you two lovebirds making out since you were in here the other day. Well I haven't seen her baby. The mayor's had me pretty busy at the office. Probably a good thing too since Grace seemed to think she could twist me around her little finger. I bet she tried. You stuck your neck out too far you could hang the wash on it. All I said to Grace was that she couldn't hypnotize me. I wouldn't think on that. We men have our weak spot. Oh nonsense. They are the weak sex. You dreamer. What's that. I used to say the same thing until Mrs. TV mesmerized me. But you married her. That's what I think. When a woman decides she wants a man to jump through the hoop stairs only one answer he can give. What's that. Whoa whoa. Oh my goodness. That'll talk one would think I'm as vulnerable to girls as Leroy. Well I still say a woman can't turn my head. I've been around. I know all their tricks. Oh birdie. Miss Grace trouble phone a little while ago. She did. Oh we have a date tonight. Yes I got that impression. She said to tell you instead of coming at eight o'clock to please come early for dinner. Oh. What's the matter. She's not right. But I don't know about going over there for dinner. You mean you're going to pass up on that can light and soft dinner music and a good looking blog. Well and a demo taxi and a day to take. Now I know I'm not going. Come again. It's a trap birdie. I'm going to phone her and make some excuse. I'll just tell her I have some dull work to do like income tax. Your slide. Hello. Grace. This is Dr. Morton. Birdie said your phone. Oh yes Dr. Morton. Are you coming to dinner. Well I'd love to. Best in the world. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to work on my income tax tonight. Your income tax. Yeah you know how it is. Your income tax isn't due until March 15. True but these tax forms puzzle me it's going to be a long. Of course I'd much rather spend it with you. Don't be any fun sitting here alone juggling figures. Well I am. That's why it's going to take me a good six weeks to get out my income tax. Just laying on my sympathy. I'm hot. Just because I teach algebra you're trying to get me over there to do your income tax. You know no I didn't say that. We can have dinner at my house another night. Well that's very nice of you Grace but not at all I'd be glad to help. She's coming to help me with my income tax. She'd date huh. Saves you something. Leroy this was her idea. Yeah. To get in good with her again. It's Miss Tuttle. Oh come in Grace. Good evening Miss Tuttle. Thank you Leroy. I'll take it my boy and I'll hang it in the closet. I was about to get busy on my homework Miss Tuttle but I thought I'd take the time to say hello to you. My Leroy has more ways of presenting his teacher with apples. Better start giving his teacher some answers in class. Good night my boy. Good night aunt. Good night Miss Tuttle. Good night Leroy. If you'd like to come into my study Grace I have all the figures and records on my desk. All right. What a cute study. It looks so lived in. I spent a lot of time in here. You sit down Grace. Something so cozy and intimate about this room with its scent of tobacco and the masculine touches here and there. The atmosphere is too relaxing for words. Yeah but we better get on with the income. And you're just determined not to let anything interfere with business. You bet. Stand firm. Well let's see what we have here. Do we start with the income or the out go. The simple way is to follow the form you filled out last year. Oh well that's up in the attic someplace. Oh and our attic is a real curio shop full of old trunks books family heirlooms antique. You have some antique. Sure an old gramophone first in the county and my great-grandmother spinning wheel and Uncle Luke's mustache. I'd love to see the spinning wheel. Yeah let's go. No harm in taking a girl up to see an old spinning wheel. This is a fascinating attic and birdie keeps everything as neat as a pin. Yeah pretty good shape for a place so full of packing. I think the spinning wheel is priceless. Yeah that income tax form must be here someplace. Morton is this a picture of you. That's when I was in college. My how you change. Oh you're so much more handsome and distinguished looking now. I wish you wouldn't say nice things to me. You take my hand and help me over this stack of books. Easy does it. You aren't hurt on you. No but I do believe I turned my ankle a bit. That's the oldest trick women ever cry. Will you help me up. Yes indeed. Yeah yeah thank you. I've just walked around on it'll be all right. I'll try. Say you did hurt your ankle. Why do you think I'm sitting here in the middle of the floor you big log. Well I didn't realize it was really painting you. I'm sorry Grace. Here let me pick you up. No no no just give me your arm. No Grace you keep your weight off that ankle. Let me carry you downstairs. I'm not too heavy am I. Light as a feather and soft as silk. Your hair is tickling my nose. You wish these stairs were twice as long. If you'll put me down I think I can make it now. If I hold on to the banister you know you can't take a chance. I'll carry you right down to the power. That you want. What is it LeRoy. Oh excuse me. I thought you were doing your income tax. That'll turn to rank. All right now LeRoy you can put me down. You better put her down your face is flush.
