The Goldbergs: Episode 1482. Date: June 1, 1943. Cast: Gertrude Berg (Molly Goldberg); James R. Waters (Jake Goldberg); Roslyn Silber (Rosalie Goldberg); Alfred Ryder (Sammy Goldberg); Menasha Skulnik (Uncle David).
Announcer introduction: "Rosie's world took a dreadful spin yesterday, and her suspicions and determination to expose her double dealing sister-in-law went sailing also. For Rosie learned soberly, what her parents learned joyfully that Sammy's wife is having a baby. Grace's fainting fit after her quarrel with Rosie wasn't feigned. Well, that's one side of the story... On the other hand we know what Rosie suspects... that Grace has some suspicious connection with George, a neighboring farmworker... and what's more when George discovered the news about Grace... he worried more than a stranger should. Meanwhile, Rosie has to act. But now with the thought that her brother is somewhere on the high seas... that his child is going to be born in the Goldberg house... and his wife is a girl who isn't altogether the best in the world. Well, listen..."
Announcer close: "While everyone else is crazy with happiness, Rosie is faced with a delicate moral problem and a tough diplomatic one... for she can see that George is not acting like a stranger... and we know what Rosie doesn't... that he is anything but a stranger to Grace..."

dollars go into war bonds today well here's the way I look at it buying war bonds is a lot like being a soldier at the Battle line the soldier puts every extra ounce of energy he's got into the fight when the big battle comes but he doesn't stop being a soldier after one battle's over he keeps right on until the war is one and it ought to be the same with you when you get a little extra money you put it into war bond sure but you don't stop there you keep right on buying war bonds regularly under some sort of payroll Savings Plan you keep on buying them until the war is won now if your family is not buying war bonds under a regular payroll Savings Plan start right away invest in Victory every day every week every month and keep it up be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs Rosie tries to be a good daughter a wise sister and a clever politician all at once this is Clayton carer saying do as the Dooms do let does the new kind of soap do everything in your wash
