<v Speaker 1>NBC brings you Fever. McGee and Mollie transcribed. The show

3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>was written by Phil Leslie and Ralph Goodman and directed

4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>by Max Happo. Fibber and Maley will be with you

5
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in a minute. Here's something most of us have to

6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>think about sooner or later. Retirement. You know, it can

7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>be a long vacation, carefree and gay, or it can

8
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 1>be a long ordeal, depressing and uncertain. It all depends

9
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>on how well you've planned for it. A lot of

10
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 1>folks are, including United States savings bonds and their retirement plans.

11
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Smart people. They know that savings bonds are a safe, sound,

12
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>sure investment. They know they'll get back four dollars for

13
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>every three dollars they put in, one hundred dollars for

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>every seventy five dollars invested when those bonds mature, and

15
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>you know that happens in less than ten years. Of course,

16
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>savings bonds can now be held beyond their maturity date

17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>at further interest. The highest rate it's ever been three

18
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>percent interest compounded semiannually for as long as ten years

19
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>beyond the maturity date of the bonds. Start planning for

20
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>your retirement. Now you'll discover you'll feel more secure tomorrow

21
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>if you buy United States Savings bonds today. The mailman

<v Speaker 3>Kids, marry me Christmas all time.

96
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>There's more fun with the McGhee Shortley. One of the

97
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>outstanding characteristics of a democracy is the right of each individual.

98
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We go to worship according to his conscience and his beliefs.

99
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>The churches of America symbolize the belief of many the

100
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>through community worship we can gain the moral strength and

101
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 1>courage to lead a good life. They symbolize the important

102
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>role which religion has played in the shaping of our nation.

103
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Each day, thousands turned to their religious leaders for personal

104
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>guidance and for material help. Without religion, many of these

105
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>people would have nowhere to turn in their hour of need.

106
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>All of us recognize the important role played during the

107
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>war by chaplains of all faiths in helping our soldiers

108
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to adjust the military life. Thus, it is manifest that

109
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>religion is an important part of the moral fiber of America.

110
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>It was the need to worship which drove our forefathers

111
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>to leave their native lands and come here. Let us

112
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>not forget the importance of the church in our lives.

113
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Let us, through recognition of moral and spiritual hungers, guide

114
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>ourselves and our families toward a way of life which

115
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>bespeaks peace and harmony and goodwill toward all mens.

116
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 3>What do you think the old timer gave us big package?

117
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, we'll open it tomorrow. I hope he

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 5>No, Master, No, I never heard that one. Is it

157
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 5>a true stime?

158
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Master?

159
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 5>A chilling as that moon.

160
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's a sort of a little piece of folklore

161
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 3>that's been kind of handed down from generation to generation.

162
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Or will it be as soon as I can think

163
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 3>it up?

164
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh boy, that's the best candor vet.

165
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, well, sir, long time I go. Once upon

166
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 3>a time that there used to be a great, big forest. Well,

167
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 3>it was out past dubens like aways, and it was

168
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>all full of tall pine trees. And every year on

169
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Christmas Day, the king of the forest would invite all

170
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 3>the people from all around and they'd have a Christmas

171
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 3>party and sing songs and give each other presents, and

172
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 3>they have wonderful times.

173
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

174
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, every year the king would pick out the prettiest

175
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 3>tree in the forest to have Christmas under. You see,

176
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>it got to be quite a contest among the local

177
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.519
<v Speaker 3>pines to see which one would be chose. The King's tree,

178
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.399
<v Speaker 3>the yeah now, way off in one corner of the forest,

179
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of by herself, stood Laura, the lop side of

180
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 3>the funniest lookinst poorest, little scrubby old pine tree in

181
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 3>the whole woods. Her branches were all cock eyed and

182
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>her bark was always falling down, and she was just

183
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 3>the real sad sapling.

184
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 5>Oh, poor La.

185
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>The other trees, the big, tall, beautiful looking ones, they

186
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 3>used to sneer a little outside of Laura all the time.

187
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Some of them trees got so vain about their good

188
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>looks that you just couldn't stand them. Spent all their

189
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 3>time primping and powdering their combs and combing the birds

190
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 3>nests out of their hair and looking pretty.

191
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's not a good way out, bet you. People

192
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 5>shouldn't be vain, especially pine trees, that's right.

193
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 3>But these pine trees got so bad they wouldn't let

194
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 3>a bird building their branches, and they shook all the

195
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>squirrels out onto the ground. And the only place the

196
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 3>little creatures had to live was Laura. The little outside

197
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>of Lara gave them all home.

198
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 5>She had a kine high hunt, sure, But the.

199
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Other trees used to raz or something in tears. Look

200
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.519
<v Speaker 3>at Lopsy, they'd say, get her hair full of birds, mess,

201
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 3>and her lap full of squirrels. Boy, are you a mess?

202
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>They'd say? Oh, oh yeah.

203
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 3>All them pine trees needled her.

204
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:56.759
<v Speaker 1>All the time.

205
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 5>They were naughty pines. Huh, naughty times.

206
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I was gonna say that myself. Well, anyhow,

207
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 3>one Christmas Eve, little Large just couldn't take it any longer,

208
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 3>and she just broke down and cried, uh huh, just

209
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 3>stood there sobbing kind of softly to herself.

210
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh see, just like a weeping mall, Hi, Master, a

211
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 5>weeping well.

212
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 3>All, well, she was more of what you might call

213
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 3>a crying conifers is. Oh and while she was standing

214
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 3>there crying softly, and the other mean old trees were

215
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 3>snickering at her all.

216
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 5>Once it happened, Oh gosh, this is a good fight

217
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 5>of it. What happened? Is this a good time?

218
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? It happened that a young angel was passing by

219
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 3>that night. She was in a hurry, trying to get

220
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.120
<v Speaker 3>home for Christmas. You see.

221
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 5>And where where had she been?

222
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Master?

223
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 5>Where he had the angel?

224
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Then?

225
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, she'd been over in Pittsburgh or Wichita, oscar Looser

226
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 3>or someplace to say hello to a couple of new babies.

227
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.000
<v Speaker 3>She stopped someplace else to sort of spread her wings

228
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 3>over a young couple that were getting married that day.

229
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.919
<v Speaker 3>And she looked in to let a little crippled boy

230
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 3>know that he was going to be okay for Christmas,

231
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, just just business calls like angels do check

232
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 3>about you. Anyhow, when the angel heard Laura the Lopsided

233
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 3>Pine tree cry, and she wheeled down to investigate, and

234
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Laura told her the story through her tears, and the

235
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 3>angel smiled and just waved her wings, and poor little

236
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Laura the lop sided Pine became the prettiest tree in

237
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 3>all the world, getting for high. The tears that poor

238
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 3>little pine tree shed froze into beautiful shining icicle, and

239
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 3>her cones gleamed like colored lights, and her branches were

240
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 3>dusted with snow. Way up on her tip top branch,

241
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 3>the angel hung a shining star, and they named the

242
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 3>tree the Christmas Tree. And the people came and admired

243
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 3>the tree and gave each other presents and wished each
