Announcer introduction: "Molly watched with amazement. She stood stock still and couldn't believe her eyes... and her suspicions crumbled in her mind and fell away... for everything that Molly had come to suspect about her daughter-in-law was based on the firm belief that Grace had simply come to the Goldbergs to get what she could from them. But Grace deliberately tore up Rosie's check, and said she was leaving... and Grace is upstairs now waiting for George to come and take her to the station. Listen..."
Announcer close: "Perhaps this seeming coincidence will bring reality back into Molly's mind... except that Rosie's check which Grace tore up dims Molly's ability to think clearly..."

Rosie's check which Grace tore up dims Molly's ability to think clearly friends being Americans I know you're buying all the war bonds you think you can afford but right now is a good time to make sure figure out if you're really doing your best here's why next month we start pay as you go taxes under this new law most of us will be paying about the same taxes last year for instance if your family income is say $45 a week and you have two children well the amount of tax withheld from your income this year will be exactly 4% of your total 1943 income and this year you pay as you earn through payroll deduction so now you can plan expenses and your war bond purchases knowing exactly where you stand so figure it out now today figure your necessary expenses and how much money you have to spend then put every extra dollar you have left into war bonds try and make it 15% this year buy every extra Bond you can and keep it up be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs Grace leaves with a fine dramatic flourish this is Clayton carer speaking and reminding you to do as the dohms do let does the new kind of soap do everything in your watchh
