Speaker 1: The Fiber McGhee and Molly Show every weekday. At this time,
NBC brings you Fibber, McGhee and Bali transcribed. The show
is written by Phil Leslie and Ralph Goodman and directed
by Mac Cuttle. We'll join Fibber and Bally in just
the moment. There's one question that probably causes more sleepless
nights than all the others put together. It goes something
like this, how can I save money when I hardly
earn enough to keep going? That is a serious question
because it involves your future and your families. But it's
not hopeless. True. It's not easy to save money at first,
but once it becomes a habit, it's the simplest thing
you ever did. Provided you choose a plan like the
Payroll Savings plan for buying United States Savings Buy it's
the easy, painless way to ensure your future security. Just
ask your employer to save a few dollars from your paychecks.
Every time enough money accumulates, your employer buys your savings
bonds for you automatically. Those bonds now mature in less
than ten years, and pay you four dollars for every
three dollars you put in the payroll savings plan can
mean extra money for your future. Join today, You'll feel
more secure tomorrow if you buy United States Savings bonds today.

Speaker 4: Any place at all, to see you. Just name it,
and by George, we'll.
Speaker 3: Have it.
Speaker 1: Back to wistful Vista in a minute. The tradition of
religious freedom and of religious worship in America goes back
to the very founding of our country. The cornerstone of
our declaration of Independence is a statement that all men
are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. So,
in these days of world crisis, when our nation and
all its citizens need spiritual strength and guidance, all of
us should think again of what religion means to us
and to our country. More than anything else, it is
religious faith that protects our families, our homes, and our nations.
It is religious faith that makes our way of life possible,
and it is religious faith that makes that way of
life worthwhile. The churches of America symbolize the belief that
through community worship we can gain the moral strength and
courage to lead a good life. Wherever you are, whatever
your faith may be, be sure to attend and support
the church or synagogue of your choice. Take your friends
and neighbors with you to church or synagogue. Life their
life with faith. Bring them to worship this week.
Speaker 4: What about that new steak and chops place out on
the highway, what do they call it?
Speaker 2: The Chappa Daryl? Yeah, I don't know. That's pretty far out.
Traffic's probably awful bad too.
Speaker 3: Oh. I know?
Speaker 4: What about the surface room with the plaza. That's a
popular spot.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: The waiters wear tom suits and the major d wears
a top hat and cracks a whip.
Speaker 2: Pretty it's noisy there, isn't it. I don't care much
for dinner music played on the Coliita either. I'll tell
you what. Let's make it the rich distance the sumprooms.
Speaker 4: Well with me. You know, this is your presence. Their
food is the best in town, and the service is good.
Speaker 2: We could dance a little.
Speaker 4: We can dance all nine if you want to. This
is your night, Oh wonderful.
Speaker 2: Stir up the fire a little wigain.
Speaker 4: I'll put another log on it. I don't want to
keep them out.
Speaker 2: Nothing like a fire in the fireplace. Isn't it pretty?
Speaker 4: Like I say, everything's going to be just the way
you want it tonight, mom ah an. I won't argue
with the head waiter, won't make snide cracks about the food.
I'll even tip the hat check girl without beefing. And
we'll take a taxicab both ways.

I passed through on my way over here, and the
lobby is jammed. People are waiting clear out on the side.
Speaker 2: Wha.
Speaker 3: Really, you won't have to wait more than a half hours, though,
because when they're crowded. Likes that the weights work very
fast and they rush the customers to pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: It's all they do. Huh. We've never been there when
they were really crowded.
Speaker 3: We should watch out for the little jumpy waited with
a bird head. He snatches your plate when you get
up to them. Well, have a pleasant dinner and marry Christmas.
Speaker 4: Oh thanks mallam, Thanks mister Wimple, thank you.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go to the sump room anyhow,
