Now listen to Father Knows Best,

Starring Robert Young as Father. Welcome to Springfield and another half hour visit with the folks in the white frame house on

Mackel Street. Sit back and enjoy life with the Andersons. Kathy, Bud, Betty, Margaret,

and Jim, as the head of this typical American household again sets out to prove that

Father knows best. We'll join the Anderson's in just a moment. You know this is still the season for carefree holidays and vacation, but don't be carefree on the highway. With roads jammed

with traffic, this is the time to be extra careful when driving. When you plan a trip, be sure

to allow plenty of time so that you won't be forced to drive too fast or too long.

When you get tired at the wheel, you lose your skill and your judgment.

So don't drive too many hours at a stretch.

Plan your trip so that you can stop frequently and get plenty of rest.

And when you start that trip, resolve that you're going to obey traffic laws and regulations.

Don't gamble with safety. Remember the life you

save may be your own. We once knew a man who was extremely wealthy and he had a wonderful system for acquiring

money which we think will interest you.

He was up every morning at six, worked 14 hours a day, seven days a week for almost 20 years. And then when he was only 45 years of age,

his uncle died and left him $3 million. Wasn't that nice? Of course, a thing like that would

never happen to our friends the

Anderson's but it almost did. Yes sir they came awfully close to being the

richest family in Springfield like this. I know Frank, but I don't care what Gribble says. Look, Frank, Ben Norton's willing to give us the land and if the committee isn't willing to take it. Okay, Frank.

Okay.

And you can tell Gribble for me that he's nothing but a pig-headed old goat.

He's nothing but a self-centered stubborn old jackass that's what he is.
