Announcer introduction: "All the thunderclouds in the world seem to have gathered over Rosie Goldberg's little plan... and Jake's lightning and Molly's sorrow are becoming just a little too much for Rosie. Suspicious of Grace, her sister-in-law, Rosie tried to use her own youth against Grace's... her own charm against Grace's... for there is another man in the case... Not Sammy who is overseas... but a neighbor, George... Unfortunately for Rosie... Grace and George were in on the plot... and the result is... that Rosie is the victim... Now, Rosie refuses to give Grace her college money as she promised... taking refuge in her pretended love for George... saying that she wants the money for herself... Result... It is Grace who is going over to speak to George for the Goldbergs... listen..."

Announcer close: "Grace has been able to handle everything so far but it will be very ironic if her fall comes through the fact that George cracks before Rosie does."

you know our friend P Dooms like that he makes his words count too yesterday he said a fell bet me $5 I couldn't talk on one subject for 5 minutes what' you do P I started talking about does uhoh easiest $5 I ever made does sure does everything does certainly does everything in the wash anyway yes this new kind of soap does dirty overall streaky towels to pretty rayon slips why compared to other leading granulated wash day soaps does gives longer life to the colors you wash Plus unsurpassing fast whiteness for towels and real cleaning power for grimy work clothes even in the toughest wash does does everything and Friends during wartime remember soap waste is war waste because doz and all other soaps contain vital War materials so make your doz go further soak clothes in clear cool water before washing in do Suds see to what every bit of does you use does more be sure to listen to the next episode of the Goldbergs written for you by Gertrude Berg too many cooks stir the broth this is Clayton Kia speaking and reminding you to do as the Dooms do let doz the new kind of soap do everything in your wash
