only my duty your duty is one thing and your good intentions are another but nothing makes you competent to direct the lives of a houseful of children who don't have the training I have always been interested in Nursery schools and I know that professional help is necessary what you're doing is worse than letting the children run loose in the streets ignorance and a good heart can't bring up children it's too much for a woman like you well uh my voice I believe it absolutely necessary for these children to be taken care of but you're not the one my what you should do is to set up a committee and come to people like me for help and direction then we can make a survey mean meanwhile I'll see to it that you don't go on with this foolish Enterprise if you don't stop it voluntarily you have to do things in a regular way and that newspaper article that appeared in the lber news now that article was written by someone who knows as little as you do of the problems facing us the public and the press may be as naive as you are I presume you were fluted by the article but a small town reporter telling you you're a wonderful capable woman doesn't make you so and never didn't make anybody anything just remember Mrs Goldberg that this is out of your Province and the safe and wise thing to do is to retire gracefully from it without making me take drastic steps to safeguard the children from ignorant hands good night she was perfectly right Molly you can't take the world in your own strike I'll take it hello yes this is Mr goldboy yes interview you have the wrong party you want Mrs goldak not Mr Gold bik Molly is running into the red tape now and Jake is perfectly willing for the red tape to tangle Molly up but Molly is a great red tape cutter especially when children are involved say who does dishes at your house you do well then chances are you've been struggling with those halfway soaps I mean tough granulated soaps because they fall short on safety for your hands and I mean bar soaps because they don't have real speed well you can toss such halfway soaps right out because new does is here yes I mean that wonderful new kind of granulated soap for everything in your wash and does has everything for dishes too from Whirlwind speed to extra safety for your hands in fact your hands get far gentler care from do than from any of the four other leading granulated soaps just notice how beautifully soft and smooth your hands feel after doing dishes with doz yet no soap made can beat do for quick action on those greasy pots and pans it cuts even tough grease without hard scouring yes does has everything for dishes just try it today and let those busy Suds tell you how really different does is be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs written for you by Gertrude ber Molly Gets help from her neighbors but the fight is on tomorrow this is Clayton carer wishing you good day for Proctor and Gamble makers of doz the new kind
