THE AL PEARCE SHOW . lE/11/41 TIZZIE: Hel1o, folksiesl My, but I'm the happy little gir7l tonightl Isn't youth wonderful? I was telling a friend of !minc- tonight, who is an Adrii3.ra1, in the . Navy, I said, "You wouldnIt think to look at me-, Admiral, I had just turned twenty-four, would you?" Hd said, "No. I'd think you just turned." Speaking of the Navy -- a sailor boy called me last night -- I forgot what it was he called me so he asked me to meet him at a cafe called The Saiiors, RGst. Mama told me to be careful of sailors, so I said, "Do I know you?" Hc said, "No," so I went. I had to wait for him so I said to the head waiter, "I't Is so crowded -- have you a 1ittl.c nook whcale you could put a g3.r7, like me so I'd feel at home?" So he sa7.d, "Yes, we have -- but we 1 re kt-eping the mops therE: right now.," My, I waB: angry so I said, "xlm not a girl that can be insulted -- that way." Finally my sailor boy camo, and I guess he owns an oil well, too. II heard him say to a friend, "I just br•,u0h'-.an an old gusher. " That ts what he meant, don 't you think -- or don't you? Then we danced. Of course, I'm an exot3.c dancer -- I have been ever since I was a little slop -- slip of a girl. In fact, almost every night boys come outside my window and serenade me. Last night I came out on the balcony and danced for them., and they throw roses at me, But one of the:m.throw a cactus and it landed right on my balcony. So I danced and danced and finally I got it out. 1So while dancing with my sailor boy I said, "It must be wonderfl u7. to be in the Navy and (CONTINU't;D)

So ha went for a sandwich for me -- rny, I often wonder what became of him. So for our sailor boys tonight, as it 's spring, we 're going to make a recipe cral.ied Navy Spring Stew. Are you ready? All rightyl First everybody take a big sniftdr -- s3,fter, pardon me. Now am~~kc some cornmeal mush and poui, it on the floor. Got it? Now stand in it. Are your dogs in the corn meal?

I TMI AL PEARCE SIiOW 4/1.1/11-1 You know, lots of pooplf have lots of ways of announcing big news.

I've got some good news for you tonight ~:,nd nerc fs the way I'm. going to have it announced. WOMAN: Why they1re mil.de:,. Milder than any other cigarette I've ~ evEr smoked. ThcrV Is 1.c)ss nicotine in the smoke. That 's my news, aazd -~rours, too, friends. F,nd it 's so a.mportent that a fanf. '~ro, no matter how 1.oud, would seem like a whisper next to it. Yes -- t.1c news is that milder Camels givE- you less nicotine in the smokc. And this fact --- importarit to every smoker --- comes fromm scienca itself. L3.sten; Independent scientific tests of' five of the 7.argcst-sclling cigarettee show that the smoke of slower-burning Camel.s contains twenty-eight per cent loss nicotine than the average of the other brands tested -- less than any of them. Take stock, friends. What cigarette are you smoking now? The odds (CONTINU~~D)
