and handsome I hope well guess what he says Alex is a real great guy even though he's serious minded and tops in all his classes he's got a job lined up with a construction gang near us and I knew you wouldn't mind if he spent a few days with me since it's the end of the term say pretty dull Alex has little time for girls I knew it I bet he doesn't even dance and he's quite a woman hater in his way well well for Pete's sake wouldn't you know that goon brother of mine would bring home something that lives under a rock Judy I I do wish you'd speak English like normal human beings besides I'm sure Mr fips is a very nice young man I know but just because Bob is a book cook there's no reason he has to bring another one home with him well we'll see oh there's a special message for you and be sure and tell Judy to keep her grimy little paws off of my friend he's got no time for babies what's his name again Alexander fips Alexander fips sounds revolting whatever made my dear brother think I'd be interested in a character with a name like that as far as Mr Alexander fips is concerned he'll be left alone strictly alone and with the greatest of pleasure [Applause] Judy is it about time you got dressed here I'm dressed well that's a matter of opinion go put on a dress before they get here ah for him okay but nobody named Alexander fips would ever notice what I had on jeers is he cool really

my favorite dish hot biscuits mother made them I'll get it Mom tell you thanks did he arrive man he's positively frantic a real cool Jonah tall goodlooking nothing at all like the drips around school

Mrs Adams can we help with the dishes uh-uh no KP Duty around here Sergeant strictly automatic see oops I'm in here already Mom that's all right dear just put them in with the others oh wait a minute Bob why not do it the easy way excuse me Mom that used to be my job at home washing the dishes I mean oh Bob and Judy had their share too but thank heaven no more washing and whing dishes around here and the dishwasher uses such hot water You couldn't possibly put your hands in it sure that makes the dishes hygienically clean I'll put the beat well cooker in when I do the next load see nothing do it is say what okay beautiful and now don't forget to call me will you right shall phoned and asked me to go for a swim thought you might like to come along and bring Alex oh thanks but I think Alex is going to be busy is he doing what now look small fry don't give me any trouble all I know is he seeing a man at the Northwest Machine Works on a matter of hydraulics why don't you ask him yourself thanks I will and the circulating air completely dries them my you certainly know all about dishwashers well not all but to tell the truth Mrs Adams anything of mechical or electrical nature interests me fits in with a hobby of mine dishwashers not exactly Time study figuring out how to do things better in less time and with less work Time study sounds interesting and just going for a swim sound interesting Alex it's a swell day for us oh it isn't that Judy and well it'd be great but well could we make it some other time I have an appointment this afternoon with an engineer as a matter of fact that's one of the reasons I came home with Bob hey and I'd better hurry too thanks for the lunch Mrs Adams and have a good swim Judy how do you like that he'd rather fiddle with a a hydraulic or something then go swimming with me you heard him say he had a previous engagement dear well I just don't believe it I'll bet Bob put him up to this Brothers I'll do the nylon things next Judy okay Mom isn't it wonderful how this washer does all these heavy things imagine pillows bed spreads blankets uh-huh Judy it isn't as bad as all that beer sorry mother I was just thinking thinking about what oh you know thinking how awful wash they used to be for you before you had the electric water heater and the washer now wait a minute dear and about how much easier it'll be when you get your electric ironer and dryer you don't fool me for one moment young lady what on Earth has happened now it's Alex I mean Mr Alexander fips all he's interested in is mechanics and electricity maybe if I were a a motor or something he'd pay attention to me he's a serious young man Judy your father admires him very much so do I I mean I've practically thrown myself at him trying to make his State pleasant but does he like to dance or go to the movies no he just wants to talk about logarithms metal stresses heix changes I don't know what all from now on as far as I'm concerned he's just a and what may I ask is a schnook something to be left strictly [Music] alone and take engineering electrical mechanical most any kind think of what still can be done in the field of research for new ways of doing things well for the generation of power the distribution of power and the design of new machines why Mr Adams some of those large generators I've seen have the rhythm of music music Alex do you like music Alex was speaking about the music of Machinery Judy oh I'm sorry Dad but I do like music very much SW the records are right in the cabinet well is it okay with you sir sure kids go ahead well thank you pick something groovy Alex [Music] my favorite record the rhythm of big generators these berries are simply Divine and they'll taste even more Divine next winter if there are any left for the freezer remember what it was like Judy before we got the freezing sure do look at that isn't it beautiful berries corn on the cob peaches peas lime of beans meat cakes pies oh it's dreamy the money we save is pretty dreamy too there it is practically ready to put on the table yep pretty dreamy mother yeah do you think it would be all right if I went to the dance tomorrow tonight with Eddie Brown oh when did he ask you oh he hasn't yet exactly Alex has asked me to go to a stuffy old lecture with him you said you'd go you said we should do everything to make a stay pleasant but I'd still rather go to the dance Judy if you promised Alex you'd go to the lecture with him you go to the lecture with him and that's all there is to it well all right but he sure gives me the red gives you the what burns me up makes me mad oh is there anything else I can do mother not for now dear thanks for the help with the berries strictly a snap besides they're good oh Judy I almost forgot Sally phone okay Mom see you [Music] later gives me the Reds really anyway that's what Johnny said Jeepers these towels are soft and fluffy you can say that again Jeepers these towels are soft and fluffy all right all right but they never get this soft and fluffy flapping on a clothes line must be a relief not to hang out clothes anymore watch this is Mother any day can be washed day now my electric dryer saves me miles of walking and tons of carrying in a year no kidding though this little old dryer sure gets things done in a hurry man oh man men that's what I'm through with or at least one man in particular Alexander fips oh what's with you well at first I thought he was real gone really a big wheel then for a while I thought my dear brother just made up all this stuff about Alex being a bookworm but now I find out he really is a character well it isn't the first time a big wheel turned out to be just a hubcap and while you are Wheeling around at the dance I'll be sitting out a lecture with a hubcap a lecture about mushrooms there must be some mechanical problem connected with the lecture if Alex wants to [Music] go growing mushrooms under artificial conditions well after all the lecture may be very interesting yes mother which mechanical problems Time study food what did you say mother Judy I have an idea yes I remember your father the trouble I had with him seemed as if nothing I did would interest him until I until what mother until I discovered how much he enjoyed good food oh way to a man's heart Judy oh mother that's corny Everyone likes good food I know dear but I'm thinking of something else too it'll take a little conspiracy conspiracy a nice little conspiracy for a nice young man you remember I decided not to go to the Garden Club dinner tomorrow night because of Alexander's visit well I've changed my mind I'm going and you can find out for yourself whether mother knows best now here's what we'll do need anything before I leave J I don't think so mother now how long did you say it would take this dinner to cook hello let see your dinner should cook for an hour and a half at 350° wait a sec sweetie let me make with the mathematics I'm going to dash over to Sally she's going to sit in my hair it's almost 3:00 now you will eat at 6:30 and your dinner takes an hour and a half to cook let me see set the timer to stop cooking at 6:30 and to cook for an hour and a half then I flip the set switch so it'll go on automatically turn the temperature tempure dial to 350 then I'm off to Sally's okay absolutely right glad I remember to take the ham out of the freezer this morning I wish you weren't going out do you think everything will be all right of course darling it'll be lovely now don't you worry this isn't the first meal you've cooked you know no but it's the first meal I ever cooked for Alex if I know Alex he'll be pleasantly surprised and impressed I have to hurry dear I have things to do and what's a four-letter word for nuisance what four-letter word for nuisance oh that's easy j u d y well I'm off where you going mom can we give you a lip Mrs Adams no thanks boys I don't know just what time I'll be back tonight so I'm taking the card tonight what about dinner oh Judy's taking care of that Judy my Judy can't even boil water without burning hey maybe we' better get on a hamburger Harry's at least we'll get something to eat go right ahead but you'll be sorry why I wouldn't think of missing one of Judy's dinners thank you Alex you shouldn't tease her so dear oh Mom I was only needling it well don't overdo it you'll give her the Reds [Music] well that sounds interesting Alex you know mushrooms are big favorites of mine well as I understand it there's quite an air conditioning problem involved oh I don't think that would be too much of a problem you know oh dear well you can always give it a try Mr Adams oh me everything will be ruined oh I don't know what I'll do oh excuse me sir lady in distress sure trouble Judy can I help it's the mixer it just won't work let me take a look there we are one slipped out that's all how do you suppose that happened just one of those things first thing you do when an appliance doesn't work is find out if it's plugged in that's the trouble most of the time is that what time study is no but are you interested in Time study oh mother was telling me that you oh they yeah it's a hobby of mine I'd love to hear about it take your kitchen ever noticed anything about it well there's the electric range the electric sink the garbage disposer and dishwasher and the refrigerator the freezer exactly all wonderful helps now here's something you probably never thought of about Judy a kitchen today is like a factory in a lot of ways well the product can only be good if the right tools are used so modern factories use the best Machinery that money can buy as a result the work is done faster better and easier just as it is in a modern kitchen see what I mean oh yes and you're so smart about all these things not really Judy it's just that I'm interested and like to make a study of them well now here's another thing not only are the best tools important but everything connected with their use is taken into consideration see how they're placed just like machines in our Factory straight line production well they're not set this way just for looks they're placed this way for a definite purpose to save work time and unnecessary steps golly I'm so impressed it's called time and motion study come here take your home freezer full of fresh frozen foods well there's a definite saving of time and money and right next to it the refrigerator keep dayto Day food and perfect freshness and the dishwasher now there's a machine that does away with a chore that everybody hates and again right next to it the garbage disposer very convenient the electric range practically an automatic cook right and only a few steps from where the food is kept notice how it all adds up to one important thing what consideration for the housewife even that mixer's a big work saer oh God my wh cream imagine having to do that the hard way by hand Alex I hope you brought your appetite with you oh I certainly did Sir the table looks beautiful Judy yes sir C beautiful well here's the Judy to Judy well I brought along my appetite too so let's sample it that's for me sir how about you Bob oh but quick just a small piece for the boy at the end a perfect dinner Judy and you said she couldn't boil water without burning it it's me pineapple juice chilled just right and that ham steak oh brother creamy potatoes buttered lima beans and that wonderful cherry pie with whipped cream all right all right I think we ought to make him eat all his meals at hamburger Harry's for that a delicious meal Judy and I'm very proud of you yep Judy you did all right thanks but I can't take all the credit our kitchen does everything but talk now uh about that lecture oh I don't know after such a wonderful meal I'd fall asleep in a lecture I thought maybe how'd you like to go dancing dancing oh Alex how dreamy okay well let's get going on the dishes and Bob you can take in the lecture if you want no thanks I'm going to watch TV tonight lot of good shows now don't you young folks worry about the dishes they no trouble around here you know oh Dad you're a doll come on Alex see you later all right here let me give you a hammer these there okay son oh hello there well how it go big success tremendous success we've got quite a girl there mother quite a girl what are those oh
