Try Does Duz Duz it does everything in the wash. And now the Goldbergs. Well, the last links in the full exposure of Molly's daughter-in-law are being forged. Molly now knows the full story. But we as yet do not. The girl who came out of nowhere as Sammy's wife, the girl Grace, whom Molly took to her heart, the girl who worked with George in an effort to get what they could from the Goldbergs, the girl who is now going to be a mother herself. This girl is now in the light of complete truth. But just how bright that truth is, we still haven't heard. Listen, Ma. Ma, is George inside with Papa? Yes, George is inside with Papa and shot. Well, why don't you call the police, Ma, and have him arrested? The police? For what? To punish them? To put them behind bars in the prison? I Rosalie, they're in a worse prison than I could put them in. Much worse. However, however, it'll be up to Papa. Whatever will be Papa's decision will be done. What did George want you to do? Promise him that you'd wait until Grace is well enough? I didn't promise. I didn't promise anything, Rosie. Please don't give me questions now. Don't give me questions. I only want to see Papa come out of the room. That's all. I only want to see Papa. That's all. Rosalie, I never believed there were bad people in the world. My kin, there are very bad. Bad, cruel, and unfeilling. I could forgive them. I could forgive them if they came into the house and they opened my pocket book and they took out whatever they found. But to come the way they came and to trample on our feelings to walk on on on our hearts when everybody is so full of pain now when when living from day to day takes the courage of giants not people. Mama darling. All right. All right. I'm I'm I'm not deciding anything. I'm not deciding that papa decide. Whatever papa decides that will be done. That's right, Mom. That could be. Stir me, mommy. Stir me a glass of tea, Rosley. Rosley, put your hands on my temples. A minute. A minute, Mommy. Just like that. Gently, gently massage mommy's temples. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Stir me a glass of tea, Mommy. And take up a glass of milk to brace. I wish you were out of here. Silence. Silence. Silence. We can wish now. We have to wait till Papa comes out. That's all. And bring me a pen and a pencil. Rosalie. Mama. Darling, this is one time that you shouldn't interfere. I said I said I wouldn't. Whatever pap will decide will be the decision. Where's Uncle David? Upstairs with Grace. You didn't tell him the whole story, her darling. He's ignorant. You told me not to tell him. So I didn't. That's excellent. That's excellent. It's enough that I know. And soon papa know. Are you getting me the paper and the stationary? Do you want a tea? Come on. Give me the stationary without tea. Who are you going to write to? Sammy. To the Red Cross. To the Red Cross. I have to write. I have to inform them as quickly as possible. I have to inform them. Poor family. Here. Thank you very much. Rosalith, don't go by the door. But it's so quiet, Mara. All right, then. Only peekab-boo in. Peekab-boo in. Who knows? Who knows how Papa feels now? Only peekab-boo. Gently knock a little bit. Look how pretty. Open. Close the door. Papa said close the door. Yes, mom. All right. So, sit. Sit and write. Mom, maybe you should write without maybe, darling. Right without maybe. Here. Don't scribble. Right. Elegant here. Nicely right with penmanship. Ready? Mhm. Dearest Red Cross to whom this does make concern Red Cross. Got it. Yeah. Got it. All right. Capital letter. Now make a paragraph after the salutation. Just recently, not so long ago, come I wrote to you making a request which you in due time committed. I wish you would now repeat it in reverse of which I will inform you. You say absolutely nothing. Ma, why? Because I I wish you would now repeat it in reverse of which I will inform you. What does it mean? Ma, that's the introduction to the next paragraph. All right. So abbreviate it as I say it. You don't have to write it exactly. Take my ideas and make sentences. All right. So what do you want to say, Mara? Forgive me. When you make faces, I don't give me please. Everybody understands when I write. Only you don't understand. I say nothing when I write.

Request R. R E R. Q U E S T. Q. Q Q is with a G only the other way. Yeah. Like a G only opposite. That's right. West. So, all right. Now, now give me Sammy's number, please. Oh, Bruce. Come in, Bruce. Come in, dear. All righty. Oh, Bruce. I'm sorry. Me and Mary don't find the time for any social life these days. I understand. Masha tells me your hired man, George, is leaving. I thought maybe he'd like to come work for me. I'm so short-handed these days. Well, uh, I She says he's over here visiting with you. I'd like to ask him myself if I could. Yes, surely, Bruce. I mean, he's he's talking with Mr. Goldberg at the moment. Can I tell him to call you? No, I I'll wait and talk to him. Did I interrupt something? No, just just writing to your boy. Yes and no. How's your daughter-in-law? Well, she's um she seems like an awful nice girl. I I was kind of thinking of you folks the other day when I read something in the paper. I wonder if you saw it. What, Bruce? Oh, about a couple of cheap crooks who ought to be hung for what they did. Uh Bruce is talking Roselene. When I think of what they were doing, Mrs. Goldberg, my blood just gets out of hand. They were traveling around pretending to bring messages from soldiers and taking advantage of the home folks whose hearts are all softened up. The old badger game. The meanest kind of thing you ever heard of. Why? In one case, they went uh Jake. Yes. Why didn't you prepare me for this? Jake Bruce is here. George, uh, you know Bruce Henley? Hi. George. Uh Bruce Henley uh wants to know if you'll work for him. Well, I Good pay, good eats. Sit down, George. Don't run away. Sit down, Jake. Bruce, um tell George and Mr. Goldberg what you were reading in the paper. Oh, I guess you read it about a couple of crooks who come and pose as friends or even the wives of soldiers. Well, Something like that. Uh, Bruce, uh, what should be done with people like that, Bruce? Well, I know what I do. Well, tell us how. I'm sure George would like to hear and I would like to hear. Tell us. Well, it ain't that the world isn't full of crooks. I know people steal and connive and do all kinds of things that aren't exactly right. We've had people like that. And sometimes, well, you may catch them, but you ain't mad at them. People get driven to steal sometimes and they do and you catch them and that's that. But these other crooks, they ain't like that. Ain't nothing like that. These people, you don't even feel like calling them human beings. They wait till the whole country is in danger. They they wait till millions of boys are away and families are upset and sacrificing and everybody's heart is homesick and confused. They wait till the moment when we need all our courage and faith. And then these petty, cheap, disgusting animals come crawling out of their holes. They come to the families of soldiers and pretend to be friends or wives or buddies. They do. And they use the softness of the people at home, hurt their feelings, and use them until they get what they want, money most of the time. But Bruce, uh, what should be done with people like that? What uh what would you do, Bruce? I'd like to lay my hands on one of them. That's all. George stares at the floor as the denunciation pours over his head, and he knows that the records describe him and Grace. But what is the secret that Molly and Jake have finally discovered about Grace? You know, when things don't turn out as we expect, it's sometimes wise to stop and size up the situation. That's what Uncle Desm should have done yesterday. He told me, "I was going to help Ma Dom with the wash, and so I put a box of dozing machine and start it up, and nothing happened." Good gosh, I forgot to open the box. You do have to open the Does box first, but once you give this new kind of soap a chance, it'll do everything in the wash. Work clothes, towels to colored rayon slips. Why? Does the only leading wash day soap that combines so much safety for those nice colors along with so much cleaning power for grimy overalls and unsurpassed whiteness for towels. Even in the toughest wash, does does everything. And friends, remember this is war time and all soaps contain vital war materials. So help make does go further. Soak clothes in clear, cool water before washing in does suds. See to it every bit of does you use does more. Be sure to listen to the next episode of the Goldbergs written for you by Gertude Berg. Molly has a heart-to-heart talk with George and the long folly stands fully revealed. This is Clayton Kia speaking and reminding you to do as the doms do. Let does the new kind of soap do everything in your wash.
