Speaker 1: The script is by Don Quinn and Bill Leslie. Music
by The Kingsman and Billy Mills Orchestra. You know, it's
a beautiful sight to sit in a room and see
the red and green lights of a Christmas tree reflected
softly in the luster of well polished furniture. It makes
the room warmer and richer somehow allow your furniture will
have the kind of luster that reflects the holiday lights
if you polish it with Johnson's cream wax. You just
rub on little cream wax, let it dry a second
or two, and then polish lightly. The surface will actually glow.
Dust and dirt won't stick to your furniture or light
colored woodwork, for there's not one single drop of oil
in Johnson's cream wax. Once polished. All it's necessary to
keep that wonderful glow is an occasional light dusting. Clean
and polish your furniture in one easy operation with Johnson's
cream wax.
Speaker 2: Then sit back and.
Speaker 1: Look at the warm reflection of those Christmas tree lights
in every shining surface. Use Johnson's cream wax to bring
out the beauty of the home.
Speaker 3: Look on the back time, child, up the night sight,
bring out the dudi of all.
Speaker 1: One reason things always look brighter in the morning than
they did the night before is that it isn't so
dark in the daytime. But a little tough luck that
mister McGee of seventy nine whiskerl Vista had last night
was not helped a bit by eight hours sleep. Listen
to himself this morning as we join.
Speaker 2: Fiver McGee in my wage. No more breakfast for me too,

than three cups of coffee for breakfast since the big.
Speaker 5: Tap ran for presidents.
Speaker 2: I can't help with snookie. I got to backpack myself
to the ox cart and look for my key ring.
I lost it on my way home last night.
Speaker 5: Why didn't you start and look for it then?
Speaker 2: Because it was blacker than the inside of a buffalo.
The moon was behind clouds, the street lights were behind
telephone poles, and I was behind two dollars and forty
cents playing snooker, and I wanted to get home.
Speaker 4: Your key ring, why McGee, The keys to the hall
closet was on your key ring. And all our Christmas
presents are lost in the hall clott.
Speaker 2: I know it. But don't you worry. Now I'll find them.
I'll just walk back the way I came down Oak

Speaker 5: Have you looked out the window this morning?
Speaker 2: No? No, you know I can't stand the side of
daylight last by that in my coffee.
Speaker 5: Yes, I know.

my key ring. So, oh my gosh, snow.
Speaker 5: Three feet of it. It just stops snowing a little
while ago. Isn't it beautiful?
Speaker 2: Beautiful with my key ring, with the key to the
hall closet, with all our Christmas presents locked in it,
buried under it. Why it's horrible. Well, I gotta get
going anyway, Dad Brad, where's my overcoat? Where's my miff?
See if you can find my overshoes.
Speaker 5: What we want to do. Your key ring is under
three feet of snow.
Speaker 2: I'll find it. If it's under forty four feet of
French cried proud lace, I'll shovel a sidewalk clean clear
down to the Elks Club, or clear clean down to
the Elks Club, as the case may be. Now I'll
find the Dad and pottle Clucks, Boggy Win the weather man,
and if it is kiddo, you'd better leave the room.
I could have. I got a few choice remarks to make.
Speaker 5: That now now now the weather man can't help it.
Speaker 2: If it's known, he can predict it, candy, so people
will be prepared and not be losing their key rings
the night before.
Speaker 5: Good darling, he did predict well.

goodness now is just what children love at Christmas time.
Speaker 5: And she was so happy at having this surprise.
Speaker 2: Fun surprise my clavicle. Hearing her and the mother kids
send Christmas carols is about as much of a surprise
as waking up on New Year's Day to find out
it's January. I don't let me see if I forgot anything.

Speaker 6: Hey Lumpy, when I start taking patients in advance, they'll
have better credit ratings than yours. And I would like
to add it as a judge of character, you will
never be re elected.
Speaker 4: Well, to answer your question, after he's going out to
look for his key rings, he lost it somewhere between
here and the US Club last night.
Speaker 2: A splendid project.
Speaker 6: Do all that work just to recover a dime store
key ring with six keys, three of them unidentified, A
battle opener, a lucky rabbit's foot which doesn't seem to
have done him any good, and an identification tag which says,
please return to Phil McGee's seventy nine wistful Dista no reward, however,
good luck with it, lemonhead hol on, my dear, that
big old thought of the little black bag wouldn't be
so quickly if he knew.
Speaker 2: That key ring held the key of the hall plosit
and all our presents were in there, including the one
we're given him. Hey, I better get going. I gotta
find that.
Speaker 4: Say, come, we just get a locksmith to open the door. Fornes,
no door closed, holidays, take the hinges off the door.
Speaker 2: I thought of that with our hot closet. It's too dangerous.
You gotta have the key. It's gotta be so you
can twist the key, turn the knob and leap back. Well,
here I go, kidd into.
Speaker 9: The wild right yonder, my dear, tell him with the
orchestra and bunch of the toys, the st.
Speaker 5: Boys.
Speaker 2: This is now everde I won't see how anything so
light could get so heavy so fast. I gotta find
those dad reddit teas pretty quick. It'll soon be done.
Speaker 5: McGee. I brought you another therm. That's a hot coffee.
How are you getting along, dearie.
Speaker 2: I've been shoveling this dad Rettit stuff all day and
I can still see our house. Give me the coffee,
will you careful?
Speaker 5: Now? It's pretty hot.

root beer right now.
Speaker 5: Oh less McGee? Look who's coming? The weatherman?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Walking around floating?
Speaker 4: Is he?
Speaker 2: If this is his idea of a Hello, mister Williams, Hie, foggy.
Speaker 1: Well, mister and missus McGee, I'm glad to see you
have a cigar, mister McGee, a cigar? Why?
Speaker 2: Thanks, Foggy? Is it celebrating something that you.
Speaker 5: Guess you don't mean? Why, mister Williams, have you and
missus Williams?
Speaker 1: No, no, Missus Williams has nothing to do with this.
This is my own snowstorm. I predicted it all by myself.
Speaker 5: Predicting weather must be fascinating. Where's mister Williams?
Speaker 1: No, thank you?
Speaker 5: I don't smoke for that.
Speaker 2: Oh excuse me.
Speaker 1: Yes, I had rather an interesting time out west last summer, experimenting.
Speaker 5: With making weather.
Speaker 2: Look you can un make it, boy, you and me
have got a deal cooking.
Speaker 4: What did you do, mister Williams, move in with an
avahole so you can pip up Indian summers.
Speaker 1: No, no, I rented a plane, took it up eight
thousand feet over a dusty ranch and dropped fifty pounds
of ice into a cloud. Then I landed to see
what had happened.
Speaker 2: And what had happened? I had killed a cow.
Speaker 5: Heavenly days, How unfortunate.
Speaker 2: Oh it really was.
Speaker 1: The rancher was standing there and he said, if the
ice had landed three feet to the left, it would
have killed his son in law. What was so unfortunate
about that? Well, the son in law was a worthless lad,
but the cow was valued at six hundred dollars. Well,
I must get down to the office. My assistant is
watching the instruments down there, and he just called to
report a rise in temperature and a warm front. Oh,
just what does that mean, mister william It means he
should turn around and stand with his back to the
fire for a while. Well, Merry Christmas to both of you.
Speaker 5: Thank you, mister Williams.
Speaker 2: Back to work, cousins, trouble like you were getting paid
by the r.
