Hurry up and open it, Aunt. I'm trying, Julie Roy. Get your thumb out of the envelope. Who's it from, Miss Gildesley? Let's see. Well, from Cousin Burt, way up in Canada. Holy kid, and what does Cousin Burt say? He says, I'm sending you a little surprise from the great dominion of Canada. Regards, Burt. Cousin Burt has done awfully well in Canada. Yeah? He started out as a trapper, then he found some gold, then he went into timber. Why did he want... Okay. They found a lot of oil up there lately. Hey! Could be some oil stock. Right, George, Burtie? Yes, sir. Let's get Cousin Burt's picture out of the attic and put it on the piano. Yes, sir. Cousin Burt was always my favorite cousin. But let's not do right, Burt. He's sending something. He knew they'd discover oil there. He knew Canada was the land of opportunity. Maybe he's just sending you an opportunity. Mr. Giltley, if you still want me to get the picture, I'll wait and see what you get. You find the picture, Burtie? Yes. No matter what Burt sends me, oil, furs, wheat land, he's still my favorite cousin. A courageous pioneer. A business tycoon. And a distinguished gentleman. Oh, brother, all the oil isn't in Canada. Peavey, did you ever receive a bonafide wire from Canada? No, but once I received some chicken wire from Kenosha. Talking about a telegram from Canada. No, Mr. Giltley. I don't recall getting a telegram from up that way. Well, I guess that's because you don't have rich relatives up there. If I had rich relatives up there, I'm the one who'd be sending me telegram. I have one here from my cousin Burt, Peavey. You don't say. I have a cousin in Peoria, but he never sent me a telegram. Would you care to hear what he says? He did write a postcript on his Christmas card this year. He's sending me a surprise from Canada. He said, Happy New Year. He said, Happy New Year. Cousin Rutherford. Peavey, we're talking about my cousin Burt. Well, you talk about your cousin, I'll talk about mine. I'm interested in what I'm about to get. Oh, yeah. What is it? I don't know. How's that? It'll be a big surprise. We've been speculating about it at home. Personally, I think it has something to do with the big oil discoveries up there. Oh, man. Hey, Ron! Ron! Leroy! Hello, Leroy. I'm Peavey. I'll guess what. What? Imagine the express office calls. He did? Cousin Burt's present is here. What is it? Oh. What is it? Better than an oil well. Better than an oil well? You don't change. Very nice. What is it? They're asking Uncle what he thinks of it. Well, I'm a little surprised. Oh, boy. Guess what I've been wanting a puppy. Leroy, did the express man say that's all there was for us? Don't worry, Mr. Gillespie. The puppy may be holding some oil stock in it. The express office will take care of it. Do you have any wooden crates out back, Mr. Peavey? I want to build a house for the dog. I think so. Leroy, we can see about that later. Now run for school or you'll be late. Okay. No, Mr. Gillespie. I'll give you the crates if you're going to build a dog house for your pup. Peavey, I'd like to build a dog house for Cousin Burt. I could go down to the express office and get the puppy. Yeah, Leroy wants to do that. He certainly is excited about it now. But I know how long that'll last. After a couple of weeks on the guy, I'll have to take care of him. Oh well, it doesn't work out. I'll just send a telegram to Canada and surprise Cousin Burt. But who's at the door? I didn't expect to see you at the water department. Hey, won't you sit down, Leroy? I can't stay but a minute. Even though I did have you drop in, even for a minute. Well, I'm just here on a little business. My first water bill and it's so high. I'm sure there's a mistake someplace. Well, we can look into it. I know you can find it. You have such a head for figures. Well, what do you mean? It is an outlandish mild. But Lila, we've raised the rate since you left town. Why? Well, everybody else was doing it. Lila, what all those figures mean? Oh, gracious, I have such a time with my finances. Fine, if I depend on you, do you throck my wife? But everything on your bill seems to be in order, Lila. It just looks puzzling. Well, maybe if I come over and sit on the arm of your chair, you can explain it to me. Not much to explain, really. No, this is something. Am I in your way? Oh, no. Okay, let's see. This is our standard rate. Throck Martin, I've never seen your profile from this angle. This is your meter reading. I declare you get high and shimmer every year. No, Lila. You have the cutest little tail, Rock. Up this bill. Well, then you know what I'm up against. What do you think the amount should be, Throck Martin? Well, the amount does look a little blurred. I just cut it in half. Throck Martin, I really appreciate it. But of course, I didn't want to influence you. Well, there's no reason why the commissioner and the customer can't sit down and talk these things over. Oh, gracious, I've taken up enough of your valuable time. Don't hurry, Lila. Keep your seat. We could recheck the water bill. No, I'm satisfied now. How are Birdie and Leroy? Well, Leroy is all excited because we have a puppy coming to the house. A puppy? Yeah, cousin Bird from Canada sent it to me. Aren't you lucky. Well... Oh, I can just see Leroy with a puppy. There's nothing like a boy growing up with a dog. Oh? I just adore puppies. You do? And you must be terribly excited about it, Throck Martin. Well, in a way. My father always thought dogs were too much trouble, but he was a stern man where you are gentle and compassionate. Oh, I try to be. Throck Martin, I'll have to come over your house and see that puppy. Oh, any time, Lila. And if you can't, I'll bring him over to see you. Good. Since we're both so fond of dogs, why not bring him over tonight? Throck Martin, you're just trying to rush me into a date. You schema you. You bet. Too keen about getting that puppy. Well, on the contrary. I can't wait for Leroy to bring him home. Yes, sir. In fact, I plan to take him over to Mrs. Ransom's tonight. Yes, sir. She's extremely fond of dogs. I just found out. Yes, sir. He's in the house. He's in the parlor. That clock. Did you ever serve waffles for dessert at your house? The Kraft Kitchen suggests you try it soon. They're not ordinary waffles, of course. They're fudge waffles, rich with fudgy flavor, and extra crisp and light, because they're made with lighter-bodied Kraft oil. Kraft oil is the new liquid shortening that is superfined by an exclusive Kraft process. Its lighter body blends faster and better with the other ingredients any recipe calls for. Fudge waffles are easy to make when you use better-blending Kraft oil. Just sift together one and one-half cups of flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, one cup sugar, and one-half cup cocoa. Then, to two beaten egg yolks, add three-fourths cup milk and one-half cup of Kraft oil. Pour this liquid mixture into the flour mixture. Add one-half cup chopped almonds, one teaspoon vanilla, and blend well. Then, fold in two stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in a hot waffle baker and your fudge waffles are ready to serve. Believe me, they'll taste as luscious as they smell. Drop a postcard to Kraft Kitchens for this unusual Kraft oil recipe. The address is Kraft Foods Company, Chicago, 90, Illinois. And tomorrow, get a bottle of Kraft oil, the most wonderful oil ever created for baking, frying, and salad dressings. Lighter-bodied Kraft oil. Well, the great Gildesley was pretty well-adjusted to having a puppy in the house, but when Leroy came home with 140-pound Great Dane, the water commissioner erupted like a broken water main. Leroy, I won't have it. I'm sorry, but we can't keep him. I'm sorry, but we can't keep him. I won't have that horse making a racetrack out of my parlor, hurtling the coffee tape, scratching the finish with a big paw. Yeah, but... And look what he's done to Verdi's hardwood float. Okay, when he's in the parlor, I'll put my boxing gloves on him. You will not. He might hit somebody and hurt him. Oh, gosh. The way he rears up and stands on his hind legs, you'd think he's fired kangaroo. Well, we can train him, huh? He already knows how to do a lot of things. Like what? Well... I gave him a pound and a half... That's another thing, Leroy. That behemoth will leave us out of house and home. We'll put him on a diet or something. Yes, yes. Um, let's guess, please. Yes, Verdi. The man next door said to ask you if you'd like to come over and help get his chickens out of the tree. I see. Seems there's a few on the roof, too. You see, Leroy, that dog is disrupting the whole neighborhood. Not anymore. I got him in the garage. Well, I put the car. Well, when you put the car in the garage, I'll put the dog in the basement. Oh, for... Leroy, you can't keep that big dog in the basement. He needs a place to run. I'm all for giving him a road map and letting him run back to Canada. Back to say. Well, I didn't really mean he should go back to Canada, my boy, but we do have to find another home for him. He's just too much dog for us. What? He's just too much dog for us. He's just too much dog for us. He's just too much dog for us. What on? Don't you agree, Bertie? Bertie? Mr. Gilles, leave. I ain't gonna say nothing against no dog. But... That man's best friends and I don't talk about my friends. But you can see what a problem he's been already. Can't you, Leroy? Leroy, answer me. I guess so. Let me tell you what I'll do. Yeah? You find a good home for the Great Dane and we'll get a small dog. A very small dog. What do you think of that? You don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you? After all, he's my dog, you know. Leroy, won't you do this for your old uncle? What have we here? The time says no dogs, but I don't see why you can't bring in an elephant. You're not going to keep him there, are you? No. He's got much money, I guess. Well, why don't I just put a few meat scraps in a sack? No charge. That'll be keen, Mr. P.D. Would you like a little ham and beef, doggy? I'll toss in a couple of meatballs. They haven't been moving. Got a good home for them? Well, Leroy, I wouldn't mind having a fine dog like your Great Dane. You wouldn't? I've always been a little partial to the breed. Well, it's a good breed, but you wouldn't want this dog. Trouble. Well, he looks like an intelligent dog. Nah, he's a real stoop. He plays football. He's the only dog in town that can carry one in his mouth. Seems to have a fine coat. I guess so, considering how much he sheds around the house. Yeah. You came in here to give away your dog, and I'm going to make you very happy. Yeah. I'm not going to take him. Yes, sir. So I caught a bite downtown. Yes, sir. Where's Leroy? Leroy's gone to bed. Oh? That poor little boy. Gave the dough away, did he? Mr. Guilty, you have to talk to Leroy about that dog. That poor little boy. No, I'll birdie. And he's gone up to bed. That poor little boy. Well, I think I'll go and see if he's asleep. I'd like to find out what he did with the dog. I don't like to be so firm about this. But he's just too much dog. You don't have room for him. Yeah, I better go in and check. What's that? Leroy never snored before? Yeah, maybe it's because his head's under the covers. I better turn the blanket back. That isn't Leroy snoring. Zeke, he's got that dog under the bed. Dog, get out of Leroy's room. George, this isn't going to happen again. Taking over my room. I think I'll glance at the paper. Headlines are about the same as this morning. Good notion to... Oop, he's got my slippers in his mouth. He's bringing them to me. Did cousin Bert teach you to bring slippers? Yeah. Lie down against my leg. You can stay there for a while. It doesn't take much to make you happy, does it? You're not a bad... Could it be that you're smiling at that... Reading the comics. Yes, sir. And I thought, sure, I saw you patting him on the head. Well, just trying to keep this pushy dog out of my lap. Yes, sir. And I know I saw him come downstairs with your slippers. It's nothing more than I'd do for myself. I'm not giving him any credit for that. No, sir. I'll tell you about your uncle. Yeah? Last night, do you know what that dog did? He brought your uncle his house slippers and you should have seen that man, Dean. Yeah? And I caught Mr. Gilkey patting him on the head. You did? Of course he wouldn't have did it, but I think that dog's winning him over. Oh, boy, let's keep the dog. What do you mean? Well, now... There's a little more consideration than that. No, he's just a dog. Maybe my breakfast won't even get cold. I'll get rid of him so fast. You don't want to get at the dog. Well, you convinced me. What? You did this morning. What did you do? Well, I didn't think you were going to do anything about it. I left Berlin and found a home for him myself. What? Now, don't worry, my boy. He'll be well taken care of. Not that it means anything to you. You can let him sleep in that big closed closet. Yeah? He's a fine. In the closet. What is it? It's what used to be... Make sure to sleep will be right back.

This is the Great Gilder Sleep again. I'd like to recommend buying United States defense bonds because it's a practical way of serving in the defense effort as well as ensuring our financial security. Defense bonds yield more interest now, making them an even better buy. And there's nothing safer. You can buy them on the payroll savings plan where you work or you can pick them up at any bank or post office. All right, George, I think I'll get on by one right now. Will you all right? Yeah. Where's my hat? This is John Heaston saying goodnight for the Craft Foods Company, makers of the famous line of craft quality food products. Be sure to listen in next week and every week for the further adventures of the Great Gilder Sleep. Cuts for luncheon or supper make a welcome change of pace from the hot meals you've been serving. Easy to fix too. But here's a tip. Be sure there's delicious craft prepared mustard on the table because when you add a little mustard, you add a lot of tang. There are two kinds of craft mustard, mild craft mustard so smooth and delicately spiced, and craft mustard with snappy horseradish added to give it extra zip. Keep both kinds on hand for different tastes. Next time, get craft prepared mustard. Tonight, play You Bet Your Life on NBC.
