so I'll share in the supervision that's your privilege oh here's Sylvia now hello jeff miss manners how are you just dandy well are the others coming they're staying in town tonight I guess we can

you're breaking your will all right this is sure to moan your country out this way Pete I wonder how some of that horse liniment would go if in the we was to rub it on his chest why sure and maybe we could soak his feet in some of that turpentine and mustard and blue vitriol like we do for the horses when they get the stumble isn't the doctor of the neighborhood someplace I mean so you certainly must have a doctor here about some buses you well to tell you the truth mr whistle goon the nearest doctor about 40 miles from here over to centerville and he's a veteran veteran he's a horse doctor

the moon the stars let's ride on the trail you're the boss ma'am you love it out here don't you jeff yes ma'am I reckon I do there's a lot out here to love look yonder rolling purple hills this stretch of prairie land is still clean and fresh like the air and the loan of the cattle I guess when a man's born to it he just can't get it out of his blood yeah I reckon I do love it out here do you think you could ever learn to love something or somebody else enough to give up this country I couldn't love anybody or anything they didn't love this country the way I do jeff tell me something

except to say that if you ever travel west and happen to pass the lazy jay stop in and pay the folks that are visit you'll find jeff holt to form a rodeo champ and mrs holt who will probably look adoringly in the direction of her tall husband yes neighbors that's what a billy do will get you a billy do delivered at the round up in madison square it certainly falls in the final act of round up in madison square our star ron camlin a return for a curtain call after this timely message from wendell niles there is no doubt of any kind that the armed services of united states have always been and are today the healthiest organizations of their kind in the entire world the us army medical department is charged with the responsibility of keeping the united states army and air force the healthiest in the world but now with the rapid expansion of the services a serious shortage of expert professional manpower has developed you see the medical department is not physicians and dentists alone there is also the medical service corps in this group are pharmacists biochemists clinical psychologists social case workers and others of the medical allied sciences the us army needs men who qualify in these fields the army's career guidance plan encourages professional growth as the works of the medical department ever widens the opportunities for increased knowledge and scientific research for complete details right to the surgeon general us army washington 25 dc and i'll once again at the microphone our star rod cameron and our producer rod that was a rather warm treatment pete and curly used on reggie to cure his cold you mean so he is feet and turps mustard and blue vitria yes a cp that fiery combination acts the same as if he'd step down inside a volcano and come out
