 The Kraft Foods Company presents the Great Gilder Sleeve. Ah, hehehehe. Gilder Sleeve starring Harold Perry brought to you by the Kraft Foods Company, makers of a complete line of famous quality food products. Now let's see what's going on with the Great Gilder Sleeve. Hello? Miss Fenwick? Guess who this is? Nope. Guess again. You're cold. Guess again. Hehehehehe. How'd you guess? Did you have a good time last night? Yeah, me too. Hmm, nothing going on there. Well, let's see what's going on with his nephew Leroy. There must be something going on because at this very moment Leroy is tearing down State Street as if the devil were after him. Looking for sanctuary, he plunges into TV's pharmacy, stumbles and falls flat on his face. Well, careful there. Hmm, do you hurt yourself Leroy? Don't let him get me. Where can I hide? Hide from what? In the phone booth. Who? Who's Snider? Well, what's he shut himself in there for? Leroy. Open up. What's all the excitement? What are you running away from? Snider. He's chasing me. Who's Snider? One of the big kids. Every day he chases me home from school. Oh, a bully, huh? Yeah, that's just what he is, a big bully. All he does is pick on little kids. He's scared to fight anybody his own size. All he does is twist kids' arms and make them drop their books. You know what he does? He sticks a pin in a shoe and kicks them with it when the teacher isn't looking so they'll holler. He said if he ever caught me he'd... What's the matter? That's just a lady going by. Well, it was him. I think you're being a little nervously, Leroy. You can safely come out. Nobody's gonna... You'd better close your front door first. No, Leroy. Nobody's gonna come in here... Snider would. He'd do anything. He told me if he ever caught me he was gonna give me the Chinese water torture. Well, I wouldn't take that too seriously. You don't know Snider. He steals things. I saw him steal a whole handful of nuts out of a sack at the A&P. And he's been bothering us kids down at the playground all afternoon. No kidding. You better shut your door, Mr. Peavey. He's probably outside live for me right now. Well, you stay here. I'll go see. I'll fix Mr. Snider. If I catch him hanging around here, I'll send him away. Yeah, getting a little dark. I don't see anybody though. He's probably hiding. Don't see him. Come out of there, you. I see you. Well, don't see it so. You listen to me, boy. Go on away. You hear? Don't think I don't know who you are. You're a Snider. Now go on away. Nope. Nobody around. The coast is clear, Leroy. I think you can safely run along home now if you want to. I'm scared. It's dark out. I won't force you if you'd rather stay around. Here we go. You can come out, Leroy. It's just Judge Hooker. Good evening, Gerry. Hi, Judge. Well, Leroy, what are you doing down here? I just stepped in to pay my bill, Peavey. You'll find the check inside there. Oh, thanks. I got it all addressed and ready to mail, and then I said to myself, now, why should I waste a three-cent stamp on this when I'll be passing Peavey's place on the way home anyway? Very smart. I had the stamp all licked and ready to put on before I thought of it. Stamp curled up on me. But I guess I can use it again. A little muesliage, yeah. How are you fixed for a muesliage, Gerry? I don't know. Maybe you better give me some. Glad you mentioned it. I think we have it. Well, Leroy. Hi. Here we are. It says, sticks it. The household adhesive of a thousand uses. Unsurpassed for gluing wood, leather, china, glass, porcelain, metal, brake, cork, fabric. I just want to stick a stamp on an envelope. Guaranteed to hold under a strain of 75 pounds to the square inch. Well, I don't want to do the trick. How much is that? 25 cents, Gerry. Well, that's better than wasting a stamp. Oh. And a penny for the tax. Haven't they removed that penny yet? They've removed everything else. Not yet, Judge, but the minute they do, I plan to pass the benefits along to my customers. Well, there you are. Thank you. I think you'll enjoy that muesliage if it's as good as they say it is. Oh, Judge. Yes? If you're on your way home, I think our friend Leroy here might be grateful for a lift. How about that, Leroy? Yeah. Gee, would you mind, Judge? Not at all. He's been waiting around here for a convoy. Convoy? It seems an enemy is lurking in the offering. How's that? A guy has land for me. A boy in my class. You're not afraid of this fellow, are you, Leroy? Yeah, kind of. Well, you come along. If he makes any trouble, we'll have the law on him. Gee, can you do that? My friend, I am the law. Come along. Haven't I told you I want you home before dark? Haven't I? Well... Now, don't be too hard on the boy, Gilday. Let me explain. Go upstairs and wash your hands. But they aren't dirty. Wash them. Okay. That boy, really. I'm afraid you have a little problem with Leroy, Gilday. You don't have to tell me. I think you need to give him a little more self-confidence. If Leroy had any more self-confidence, I couldn't stand him. Nevertheless, I think that you ought to have a talk with the boy. You know where I found him just now? Down at the drugstore, hiding. Hiding? What's he done now? Leroy? I don't call him. Hey, wash your hands. Well, go ahead. Don't stand there talking about it. Go ahead. Well, Judge? This is something that's going to take a little understanding, Gilday. Of course, I don't know where he's going to get any of that from you. Get to the point, you old goat. Well, to begin with, I don't like to say this, but I'm afraid Leroy is just a little afraid of the dark. I don't believe it. No boy his age and particularly no nephew of mine. All right, all right. That's merely my opinion, based on absolute fact. You'll be telling me next he still sucks his thumb. As to that, I couldn't say. But I know that he wouldn't get out of the car just now unless I walked the door with him. Well, I'll be darned. It seems he has a bogeyman. A bogeyman named Snyder. Maybe I don't know the boy as well as I thought. Who is this his Snyder? The boy in his class, evidently. Troublemaker. Why doesn't he knock his block off for goodness' sake? Possibly because he's scared to death of him. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a coward. Now, be fair to Leroy. Maybe you've overlooked part of his education. Well, maybe I have. I think every boy should have a little instruction in the manly art. Unless, of course, you want Leroy to grow up to be just a chip off the old block. Oh, is that so? I'll show you who's an old block, and I'll teach Leroy to be a chip. Thanks, Bertie. I'm full. Eat it. It'll put muscle on you. Okay. Miss Marvy, don't tell me you don't like it. I love it, Bertie, but I'm afraid of getting muscle-bound. Eat it. It's brain food. It's seaweed. Seaweed is kelp. This is kale. I wish it was spinach. Mr. Guilth, leave a little more for you. Just a very little bit, Bertie. Leroy, that's something I want to take up with you. Yeah? Who is Snyder? Who is he? Yes. He's just a boy. What's his first name? Just Snyder. That's all. What's his full name? What does the teacher call him? Snyder. Why have I never heard of him? I don't know. You're afraid of him, aren't you? He's bigger than me. Understand he picks on you and the younger boys. Why have you never told me about this? Because. Because why? You aren't supposed to snitch on people. You never hesitate to snitch on Piggy, and he's your friend. Why haven't you reported on this Snyder? Come on. Why? He said if I ever snitched on him, he'd put my eyes out. Ridiculous. There's one thing I loathe and despise, Leroy. It's a coward. This boy picks on you, you ought to stand up to him. Instead of running and hiding in drugstores, how does that look? How does it look for me? You don't want me to be ashamed of you, do you? No. Uncle Mort, I don't blame Leroy. Snyder's a perfectly horrible boy. Well, you know him, my dear. I detest him, and I think Leroy's very smart to keep away from him. So do I. Thanks, Marge. Nevertheless, my dear, we can't have Leroy being a coward. Who's a coward? The guy's bigger than me. That's all. Always remember David and Goliath, my boy. Goliath was ten times David's size. Twenty, maybe. Yeah, but David threw a rock. I always remember what you said about throwing rocks. It wasn't the rock that conquered Goliath, my boy. It was the element of surprise. David got there first. Yeah? Yeah. The best defense is an offense. Always remember that in your dealings with Snyder. Never start a fight, my boy. But if you ever get into one, be sure you strike the first blow. Never start a... Did I ever tell you children about the time I licked Dan Murdock at college? Hundreds of times. Well, soon we got into a fight there one day. I don't think either of us remembers now what it was all about. But Dan made the mistake of challenging me in public. Well, I guess I weighed about 170 pounds. I was a little stout in those days. And Dan must have weighed easily 200. Great big fellow. Well, sir, we squared off there and went right at it. I wasn't much of a fighter, but I had one blow I knew I could count on. I don't know where I ever developed it, but boy, it was a regular Adam Bob. Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee. How'd it go on? Can you show it to me? Later, I will, Leroy. Well, sir, I didn't wait around. I made a quick faint to his chin to throw him off his guard, and then I let him go with my Adam Bob. Right in his solar plexus. And, oh, brother, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, what happened? Leroy, you know perfectly well what happened. You've heard it a hundred times. Yeah, but I want to hear it. Well, sir, I'll never forget the look on Dan Murdock's face when that blow landed. He looked at me absolutely silly for a moment, and then folded up like a big pudding and collapsed. Hee-hee-hee-hee. Hey, you forgot where his tongue hung out like a welcome mat. Yeah, that's right, his tongue hung out. Like a welcome mat. Yeah, from that time on, we were the best of friends. Hey, will you show me your Adam Bob punch-unk, will you, huh? Well, I might. Yes, by George, I will. After dinner, I'll take you out in the hall there, Leroy, and I'll show you the secret. Oh, boy, wait till I see Snyder. Yeah. Always remember, Leroy, this is a very dangerous blow. It can be very painful. Don't worry. Especially if you hit him right there. Uh, there? Uh, a little higher, there. Oh, oh, there? That's it. Don't ever hit him there, will you, Leroy? No. Hee-hee-hee. Poor old Snyder. Hee-hee-hee. Yes, it's once again available and in reasonable quantity. Now that the supply of fine salad oil is more plentiful, Kraft can make a fair amount of mayonnaise, although miracle-web salad dressing continues to be scarce because of the sugar shortage. So look for the superior mayonnaise that glorifies any salad. Kraft, kitchen-fresh mayonnaise, it's your food dealers. It has a delicacy of flavor, a richness that only choice ingredients can give. Salad oil, selected eggs, fragrant vinegar and spices. And for a final crowning touch of perfection, fresh lemon juice. And the flavor of Kraft mayonnaise is not by any means the whole story. Its texture, too, is marvelous. A special beater patented by Kraft gives it a velvet smoothness you could never accomplish in your own kitchen. No need to bother with making your own now that this truly superior mayonnaise, Kraft kitchen-fresh mayonnaise is once again available. Now let's get back to the great Gilder Slave. While strolling Holmberg from the office on Saturday noon, he spies a lady ahead of him and quickens his pace. As he draws a bean of his quarry, he is surprised and delighted to find he has been pursuing the school principal, Eve Goodwin. Hello, Eve. Hello. Oh, hello, Throft Morton. I didn't recognize you from... I mean, have you got a new coat or something? No. Where are you going? I was just going home. Had lunch? Yes, I have. So have I. How about stopping in some place for a soda? Oh, I can't. I'm sorry. Gosh, I haven't seen you in quite a while. You haven't called me. I've been pretty busy. How about this afternoon? I have a parent's meeting this afternoon. That's why I have to get right home. I don't believe you ever think about me, Throft Morton, except by accident. That's not so, Eve. I think about you a lot. Thought about you a couple of days ago, but I was tied up. What's so funny? You. But I like you. All right then. Do you mind if I walk home with you? That would be very nice. Since I've run into you, there's something I'd like to ask you about Leroy. Leroy? I knew it. He's been finishing his homework in an awful hurry. It's not his schoolwork. At least I haven't had any complaints about it from Miss Credo. No, this is something new. It surprised me. Just tell me what it is, Eve. I'll wail it out of him. You wouldn't. Wouldn't what? Punish him physically. Huh? Oh, no. No. When I tell him to listen, he listens. Sometimes. What's he been up to? I've never thought Leroy would turn out to be belligerent. Belligerent? He seems to have a chip on his shoulder the last few days. He actually seems to be trying to pick fights with the other boys. What's the harm in that? Well, if you could see him, I watched him walk right up to quite a big boy and pull his shirt tail out. I don't think there's anything amusing about it. But Eve, men look at these things differently. It's masculine psychology. Nonsense. No, I mean it. There comes a time when a man has to put up or shut up, Eve. A time when he's a man or a mouse. But Leroy's a child. He's getting to be a man. What's more, he's got gillishly blood in his veins. You're talking like a child yourself. Getting to be a man doesn't mean he has to push people around. He's got to learn to fight someday. Why? Well, because everybody does. Nothing is ever settled by a fist fight. No one but small boys and barbarians believes that fighting is the answer. Do you get infest fights with people who haven't paid their water bills? Well, no, but... Do you punch people who disagree with you in politics? I've considered it, but I didn't do it. Then why encourage Leroy to go around picking fights with other boys? I don't encourage him. You don't discourage him. As a matter of fact, when I told you just now he was turning into a rowdy, you were quite pleased, weren't you? Eve, how could you think such a thing? Weren't you a little pleased, Throckmorton, secretly? Well, I'm glad to know he's not a sissy. I don't think any boy with gillishly blood in his veins is likely to turn out a sissy. You mean that, Eve? Yes. But I do wish you'd speak to Leroy. Oh, I will. Good. Well, it's nice to have seen you. Aren't you going to ask me in for a minute? Oh, I'd like to, but I've got to dress and go out again right away. Some other time? Some other time. You always say that. Gosh, I never get to talk to you about anything but Leroy. Leroy's a fascinating subject. Goodbye, Throckmorton. Goodbye, Eve. And you will tell Leroy it's silly to fight. Oh, sure. Goodbye. I don't know if I'll tell him or not. Quite a welcome. Where's your allowance? I'm saving it to buy Christmas presents. It makes me feel wonderfully independent. Marjorie, if you're saving, that's one thing. You're going to some jukebox joint. That's another. You can't have your cake and eat a tube. Oh, Anki, that's such a cliche. No, see here, young lady. A cliche is something that's been said so often. I know what a cliche is. Well, you don't have to yell. I'm only asking for 50 cents, so I won't have to take it out of Leroy's present. I won't have you robbing your brother here. Bring me 50 cents change. Thanks, Anki, darling. I wouldn't have taken it out of Leroy, really. Yes, yes. Where is Leroy? Oh, he's around somewhere. Leroy? When I call you, I want you to come. What? Come here. See that you are. It gets dark at five. Don't worry. I don't want you out in the streets with a lot of your... A lot of respect I get around here. Did you want me on? Yes. I do not enjoy talking to you from a range of a hundred yards. What's this Miss Goodwin tells me about your behavior at school? Behavior? She says you've been picking fights. She's a big... Leroy? Everybody's scared of my atom bomb punch. Oh, yeah. I had quite a discussion with Miss Goodwin. Nothing is settled by a fist fight, you know, my boy. Huh? Fighting is an outmoded barbaric method of settling differences. See that you avoid it. Is that clear? But I thought you said... Fighting is silly. Do you understand? I guess so. On the other hand, there are times... Yeah? There are times when there is no other honorable course. Do you understand? I'm not sure. Well, never mind whether you understand or not. What I want is obedience. Now go out someplace and play. Gosh, clear as mud. That's not the idea, ho. Where'd you get the boards? I bet you stole them. Why don't you like me to sell a cop's on you? Some lousy hut. I bet I could kick it over. You better not, Snyder. Watch me. Hey! Where do you think he got the black eye? Craig hit him. Oh, first. In self-defense. Is that true, Leroy? Leroy and Craig laughed at Leroy, and so Leroy chased him. What was Craig crying for? Because he's a crybaby. Now see here, killed a slave. There are things a man can't take lying down. That's right. My boys have Leroy's size. Leroy must have done something to him. Are you implying my Leroy's not telling the truth? I am. Bullard, I can't take that lying down. Well? Step outside. Do you want to go? The porch is all right, I guess. No use getting out there in the snow. Am I a boy's crybaby? I do. And I say Leroy's. I'm ready for you. Why, George? In the future, you keep your kid away from Leroy. You? You keep Leroy away from Craig. Tell Craig to stay off my property. And you stay off my... Nothing is ever settled by a fist fight. Remember what Miss Goodwin said? If you'd remembered it, you wouldn't have that shiner. I think killed a slave will be back again very shortly. Friends, there's an urgent appeal and need for more nurses in the hospitals of the United States. And we'd like to suggest to all the young women listening that they consider seriously making this their profession. Nursing offers excellent pay and interesting work. And more than that, the tremendous satisfaction that comes from aiding one's fellow man. High school graduates or college students between the ages of 17 and 35 are eligible to learn nursing. It's a three-year course with the time divided between classroom work and actual hospital experience. You can find out how to apply for admission in any of the nearly 1,300 accredited schools of nursing by talking to the Vocational Guidance Counselor of your local school system or at your local hospital or school of nursing. We'd like to ask you young women to think seriously of nursing as a life work. Hello, Miss Fenwick? Guess who this is? Oh, how'd you know? What are you doing tonight, Miss Fenwick? Oh, why not? Can't you write letters some other time? Oh. Well, I'll go to the movies with somebody else. What do you think of that? Goodbye. I'll go with you, Uncle. You go to bed. Good night, folks. And Richard LeGrand is Mr. Peavey.
