 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous Corusable hair bring you our miss brook starring Eve Arden It's time once again for another comedy episode of our miss brooks written by Al Lewis Well last Thursday was Thanksgiving Day and most of us realized that we had quite a bit to be thankful for Even our miss brooks who teaches English at Madison High School. Yes a holiday means a lot to me First it gives me an opportunity to relax and count my lack of blessings and Second it offers a chance to catch up on several days brooding, but this Thanksgiving was different I knew it was going to be when I joined my landlady at breakfast last Wednesday morning Good morning, Mrs. Davis. Did you have a nice night? Wonderful, Connie. I didn't sleep a wink That sounds like fun I was planning my menu for tomorrow It's Thanksgiving, you know, and I wanted something special for Minerva and me Minerva There you are you cute little kitten. Where is she Connie taking my stocking off with her cute little paws Stop it Minerva now get away from my stocking Either get away from those or a knit me a new pair with that ball of yarn you play with Go out to the kitchen Minerva. I do want you to hear about tomorrow's menu What are you having mrs. Davis Minerva's favorite dish? sq. You a b Bit of good to spell things out anymore. I guess she's too old for that Please go into the kitchen Minerva. There's some milk out there Right under the s-i-n-k Don't tell me she slammed the door behind her Connie I wanted to show you the squab I got for tomorrow. Oh, I'd like to see it. Well, here it is. Where oh Right there behind that carrot It isn't very big is it I've seen stuffing with larger drumsticks You know Connie I was all ready to get a nice 10 pound turkey yesterday when the clerk of the market said something that made Me change my mind. What did he say? $8.30 Well, it is a pretty rude remark I'm afraid I was a little testy when I complained about the price anyway when I demanded something cheaper This is the birdie gave me certainly did Well, it'll be enough for Minerva and myself I suppose you've already been invited somewhere for turkey and all the fixings. Where would you suggest? Mr. Boynton asked you out for Thanksgiving dinner come not yet mrs. Davis But this morning he's going to be exposed to the most thorough opportunity to do so Mr. Boynton's been on a very strict budget lately. He probably can't afford any turkey dinners Then you bring him back here with you Connie. Oh, that's very sweet of you mrs. Davis, but that's squab I'll make it do remember the old saying there's always room for just one more in this case You must mean one more squab Thanks anyway, mrs. Davis after all we've still got our health Which is more than I can say for that squab Of course, I'd rather see you eat a nice turkey dinner tomorrow Maybe you could wrangle yourself an invitation from one of your friends. Oh, please mrs. Davis. Oh, that must be Walter Denton He's giving me a lift to school be right there Walter Why don't you find out what his folks are planning for tomorrow? Maybe you could get yourself invited there I'm surprised at you mrs. Davis why I've never forced myself on anyone in my life Connie Take another look at that squab Like I say Walder's mother may not know it yet, but there's always room for just one more Now it certainly is nice weather for Thanksgiving isn't it water it's more than nice miss Brooks It's downright savory and delicious I'll be gnawing on the steering wheel Tell me Walter, how do you usually spend Thanksgiving well usually mom cooks a big turkey and we have dinner around four o'clock in the afternoon Gosh, I'll never forget last year's meal first. We had a fresh fruit cup Then some delicious vegetable soup and then this big golden brown turkey was served with a special dressing made out of chestnuts and raisins and stuff and You want to hear the rest of it miss Brooks certainly just pass me a blotter and keep talking I don't remember all the dishes, but the hot men's pie was really tops And my mom is just about the best cook in this town and like most good cook She probably prepares more food than she really needs. Oh sure out of last year's turkey The whole family had turkey turkey giblets turkey sandwiches and turkey hash That's because you didn't invite enough guests over for Thanksgiving dinner You know Walter I've often thought that people who are so close to each other all year round should somehow manage to spend their holidays together as well What kind of people are you talking about miss Brooks? Well school teachers and students for example Who needs teachers on a holiday? I mean most teachers you get enough of during school hours the present company accepted of course You're a lot different miss Brooks. I know I'm hungrier Look Walter about spending Thanksgiving together if you're planning to be with your post I'm not miss Brooks now my mother and dad are going out of town for the weekend It's my dad's first vacation in two years. Well, how come you're not leaving town with them? It's my dad's first vacation in two years Oh, he loves me, but he thinks I'm a little wearing in spots So I'm staying over at stretch snot grasses house until next week Oh, I see then you'll have Thanksgiving dinner with mr. And mrs. Snotgrass. No ma'am They're going away with my folks. They're good friends. You know just like stretching me But miss Brooks, I think your idea about spending Thanksgiving together is swell you do sure Then why don't you and stretch and me have dinner tomorrow dinner? Well, that might be very nice Well, great, then stretch and I'll be over to your place at three o'clock sharp My place. Yeah, that is if you still want us. I wouldn't be without you Mrs. Davis did the shopping yesterday and there just weren't any good-sized turkeys left that she could afford So what she bought was a very what she bought isn't important miss Brooks What counts is spending Thanksgiving with people who mean something to you? Gee the pilgrim certainly had it all over us modern characters When a pilgrim wanted to celebrate the holiday, he just picked up his musket and shot himself a turkey At the current prices walter the only way I'll have a turkey tomorrow is if I pick up a musket and shoot myself a butcher Come in Good morning, mr. Boyden. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute before your first class. I'm glad you dropped in miss Brooks I've got some rather exciting news this morning. I'll be glad to Do you remember the raffle ticket I bought last month in Marty's mall shop. Oh on that green Adams hat with the red feather No, no on a Tom turkey. They had the drawing last night and I won. Isn't that wonderful? That is what I call the coincidence of all time Coincidence, why do you think I stopped by your laboratory this morning? Well, I don't know to invite you over for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow Well, that is nice of you miss Brooks. I'll be happy to come over about what time will you be expecting me? I'll be expecting you and Tom about noon Oh You mean the turkey well, I'm afraid he won't be with me miss Brooks You see at this at this very moment the turkey is on a train headed upstate Why did he get fed up with our climate? No, I sent him up to my folks place Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to visit my parents this year, but well now they'll have something to remind them of me anyhow Must be a very tall turkey What did he weigh mr. Boyden? About 18 pounds Of course what I'd do with an 18 pound turkey. I'll never know until tomorrow Well, I've got to be running along now on second thought you needn't get to the house until three or three thirty On third thought you can back out of the whole thing if you want to Back out. I should say not I'll be there. All right, and thanks for the invitation. You're welcome But mr. Boyden if you're expecting the conventional Thanksgiving Day dinner, you're liable to be a little disappointed I'm just not having it. Oh, what are you having so far Walter Denton and stretch snot grab? Our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith Now proof that brushing teeth right after eating with Colgate nettle cream helps stop tooth decay before it starts Continuous research hundreds of case histories makes this the most conclusive proof in all nettle first research on tooth decay eminent dental authorities who provides hundreds of college men and women for over two years One group always brushed their teeth with Colgate's right after eating the other followed their usual dental care The group using Colgate dental cream is directed using Colgate's Exclusively showed a startling reduction in average number of cavities far less tooth decay The other group developed new cavities at a much higher rate No other data frisk offers proof of these results modern research shows decay is caused by mouth acids Which are at their worst right after eating Brushing teeth with Colgate's as directed helps remove acids before they harm enamel Yes, Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients including an exclusive patented ingredient for effective daily dental care So remember always use Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay Thanksgiving Day arrived right on schedule mostly because I couldn't do anything to stop it After breakfast, I headed straight for the kitchen there. I took a good look at Mrs. Davis's squab then I took an aspirin Then I gave the squab an aspirin I decided to make Mrs. Davis a full partner in my panic. Oh, this is terrible Mrs. Davis We can't possibly serve five people with this amount of food. Calm down Connie. We'll make out some way I've got cans of salmon in the house and some cheese and crackers and tidbits of one sort or another But one doesn't serve tidbits for Thanksgiving dinner. I Wish that bird looked bigger. Did you stuff him again since we last discussed it? I've stuffed him five times since then Connie. In fact the last time I went to fill him up I got the feeling that he was trying to kick my hand away Oh, it's no use Mrs. Davis. It just won't work. I still think you should follow the advice I gave you yesterday Connie and get yourself invited out for a real turkey dinner But I've already asked mr. Boyden to join me then get him invited along with you Well, what about straight snotgrass and Walter Denton? Take them along too. Why not while we're at it Why don't you and Minerva join our happy little group? We love to Connie. Where are we going? I? Don't know where you're going, but I'm gonna take another aspirin I'm sure the conglins would like to have you over. I ran into Martha yesterday And she told me that she was all ready to carve a huge turkey. Oh, is she fighting with mr. Conklin again? Martha even remarked yesterday that she was hoping mr. Conklin would ask some of the teachers in to share their dinner I can just picture that if mr. Conklin saw any teachers at his dinner table He wouldn't know what to bite first That doesn't apply to mr. Boynton though. Osgood is quite fond of him and he's also extremely taken with Stretch snotgrass thinks he's the best athlete Madison's ever had. Well, what about his attitude toward me? Call anyway Remember Connie pride goes before a fall you've got to make a hit with mr. Boynton here Oh, but mrs. Davis mr. Conklin can't stand the sight of wall to death His daughter Harriet is crazy about the boy. Hello one moment, please miss Brooks is calling you're coming. Oh, hello Oh, hello, miss Brooks. This is Harriet. Gee. I'm glad you called you're having water dentin over for dinner, aren't you? That's the original plan Harriet I was just talking to mother about it this minute you were well now that's funny I wanted to talk to mother about the same thing Wait a minute, I'll put her on thanks Harriet Harriet and her mother were just talking about getting together for dinner, Mrs. Davis Hello, miss Brooks. Hello, Mrs. Conklin forgive me if I talk rather quietly But mr. Conklin's taking a nap in the living room. He needs the rest, you know He's been rather irritable lately. I know for the last five years We've known each other for five years now and well the reason I call Harriet told me miss Brooks I just know you feel exactly as we do that people should share their Thanksgiving joy with their friends That's right, Mrs. Conklin. You understand though that it isn't just me I've already invited Walter stretch and mr. Boynton the more the merrier I always say well I'm glad you always say that Mrs. Conklin because my little party lacks just one thing which you and only you can provide What a beautiful way to put it. I can only say miss Brooks that we'll be proud and happy to share Thanksgiving dinner with you And your friends. Well, thank you, Mrs. Conklin. Thank you my dear Harriet and mr. Conklin, and I will be at your place at two o'clock sharp It's almost one mother don't you think we should wake daddy in a minute Harriet Did you take our turkey down to the mission like I told you? Yes, mother. I just got back They certainly were grateful the man said it would feed almost a dozen people who ordinarily would go without any Thanksgiving meal at all fine dear I know your father will be happy at the thought of sharing with our lesser privileged citizens now go on in and wake him up Harriet Yes, mother Daddy Pass some more white meat, please It's time to get up daddy What's the matter? Oh, no, it's you child. What time is it one o'clock? How do you feel after your nap? Fine Harriet just fine except for one thing. What's that? I could eat my weight in Wildcats Martha oh Martha Let's not wait till two o'clock for dinner. I'd like to eat right now Oh, but I saw that turkey in the oven when it was finished this morning, Martha, and I just can't get it out of my mind No, it sure smells good too We gave our turkey to the folks who run the mission we're going out for dinner Oh, but I don't want to go out. I want to eat in my robe and slippers You gave our turkey to Like a municipal shelter, you know the man said our turkey would feed almost a dozen underprivileged citizens. Oh, he did Well teachers are underprivileged citizens too, but I don't give them my thanksgiving dinner Now calm down Osgood. This is no day for your high blood pressure to get out of hand We're going over to Margaret Davis place to have dinner with miss Brooks and some of her friends miss Brooks Who needs teachers on a holiday? Mrs. Davis is a very exotic cook. I'm sure she'll have some wonderful dishes prepared for you But I don't want mrs. Davis's dishes. I want turkey T-u-r-k-y turkey Now everyone buys too much for Thanksgiving dinner otherwise we'd have brought our turkey over to miss Brooke But as it is think of the joy you're sharing with the people at the mission Osgood joy my foot The food at miss Brooks place it better be good today Good it had better be great Every time I tried to call mrs. Conklin back the party line was in use now They don't answer they're probably on their way over here this minute to eat dinner or not to eat dinner Please Connie you're beginning to sound like Hamlet Don't worry so about the Conklin's they'll probably bring their turkey over with them and we'll have plenty You really think so mrs. Davis? We'll soon know Connie. Will you answer the door, please? I'm trying to find some more cans of salmon All right, mrs. Davis Happy Thanksgiving miss Brooks a very happy Thanksgiving miss Brooks. Hello The same to you but is this all the party what do you mean miss Brooks? I mean just you three nothing waiting out in the car or anything Well, we were going to bring our turkey along But we know what a well-stocked larder you folks must have so we donated it to the mission the mission one of my favorite charity There's no joy like sharing may we come in now and start sharing yours If you'll just sit here in the living room I'll go back to the kitchen and tell mrs. Davis you're here Oh Harriet and I will go back and help out miss Brooks You've done enough for one day why I'll bet you worked like a beaver this morning. No through six fingernails Oh, I didn't do too much. Come on mother I'll fix the salad dressing that new way you showed me all right dear and I'll tell mrs. Davis about the new things We've been doing with parsley Never mind the side dishes. Let's just get that turkey to the table pronto You chat with miss Brooks here. We'll just be a little while. We'll make it snappy I could eat my weight in Wildcats miss Brooks if they come in cans. You may get the chance I mean we'll be sitting down as soon as the others arrived mr. Conklin. Oh, yes, I forgot you're having some of your friends in I hope that lame-brained dunce Walter Denton isn't expected Want some popcorn mr. Conklin? Potato chips no, no, thanks. Who's coming to this dinner miss Brooks? Well, mr. Boynton for one. Oh nice chap boynton far less irritating than many of his contemporaries. I What's the trouble mr. Conklin? I'm I'm not a well man I've had some very strange symptoms lately. What kind of symptoms? Well Every so often I get sudden blinding flashes of appetite Oh Well that that's because you're under such a strain mr. Conklin You see under great emotional tension many people experience sudden and uncontrollable appetites. It's psychosomatic to some extent Really? Now perhaps you'd like me to stretch out on the couch and tell me how at the age of three I was convinced that my younger brother was a cock a span your yours too I was only trying to stall a help mr. Conklin. I had an aunt who suffered just like you do I remember one time my uncle caught his nose in the piano bench And he ran right down to the corner and bought herself a pickle a Pickle it satisfied her nervous craving And she stayed with us We always had to keep a big supply of food on hand big juicy steaks chops and chicken ducks Cold cuts potato salad, please please miss Brooks. I want my dinner But mr. Conklin the others aren't it's open come on in Hello, miss Brooks. Oh, mr. Conklin say this is a surprise. Hello boy Den Can we sit down now miss Brooks? Not quite yet. Pull up a chair mr. Boyd. Thanks. Well, how does the turkey look? Did you get a nice-sized bird? Well to be honest mr. Boyd our turkey may not be such a big bird But I'm sure the party is going to be a very big turkey. Oh I almost forgot there are some salted peanuts in this dish mr. Conklin One would almost think you were trying to destroy my appetite, but nothing can do that miss Brooks absolutely nothing The door was open so I just breezed on in. Hi miss Brooks. Here comes nothing now Oh, hi mr. Boyd and mr. Conklin. Hello Den Miss Brooks, I've got some bad news for you. You'll have to get in line Walder What is it well stretches aunt and uncle insisted that he have dinner with them today So he can't possibly be here in time to eat with us. Isn't that awful? I'm absolutely devastated Me too. Gosh miss Brooks. What do we do with all the extra food that's left over? We'll eat it At last come on May I escort you to the dining room miss Brooks? It won't be necessary mr. Boyd and I'll just follow Leo the lion Cut the squab into small pieces and sprayed it with sweet air connie Nobody will know it isn't turkey Now then keep the lid on this big tray except when you're serving and they won't know how little we've got All right, mr. Davis. I might as well trot it in Well, here we are What'll you have mrs. Conklin? Oh serve mr. Conklin first. Will you dear? He's quite hungry certainly Mr. Conklin, what'll it be? I'll have a drumstick a drumstick Yes, sir. Here you are This is it, you know what they say the nearer the bone the sweeter the meat If this has any meat on it, it must be inside the bone A brand new breed of turkey mr. Conklin They've been experimenting for years with this type on the theory that the shorter the legs the larger the breast Oh, then give me some of that Yes, sir. Here it is This is it This it is You see when they were experimenting with the short legs the breast didn't quite get the idea of what they were trying to do Where are the wings? This bird didn't get his wings. He flunked out in basic training Thought we'd never get out of that place Find dinner that was take it easy os good. We'll stop off on our way home and get a bite somewhere I thought the salmon was quite tasty But mother why do you suppose miss brooks took mr. Boynton aside and then excused herself in the middle of the meal and left Why it was obvious dear miss brooks wanted us to have enough to eat and to think we sent a beautiful 16 pound turkey to the mission Everything happens for the best dear See that's the mission right ahead of us What a big line of people waiting to be fed Doesn't it do your heart good to know that we can trick mother look that man with the two plates full of turkey Full of my turkey Why it's mr.

Boynton and I had helped to feed over 50 underprivileged citizens including mr. Boynton and me We found out that we had enough money between us to take in a movie But on our way to the strand mr. Boynton suddenly stopped miss brooks helping out at the mission made me realize How lonely the most festive occasion can be if you're not sharing it with someone you're so right mr. Boynton I guess you and I are pretty fortunate. We certainly are But I just remember that there's another member of medicines faculty who's all alone tonight and needs cheering up pretty badly Let's do something about it. Shall we miss brooks?
