Keats please this is his operations office at I don't want please get keys he's having dinner I'm gonna call the Pressman what Goodell ed do you only stick your neck out I oughta let Amy know first who the heck's a me a girl my clothes but I thought your brother was married didn't last but no he has any a new girl well why worry her after all there's nothing definite why tell her now because I want to I wanted to hear from me [Music] my hands are all wet when you answer that please Ben I'll listen it ring answer it it may be important what are you trying to do get rid of me Oh course not silly now just answer the phone [Music] hello oh no it isn't that's alright [Music] who was it was a wrong number you see I really didn't have to answer it what's the matter Oh time to think the way I always do that being female again no no it's just that I had a feeling something was about to happen what had happened [Music] today more people than ever are doing the laundry with gas and here's miss Julia need to show you why nice weather for I think the old cliche is duck and certainly a horrible day for doing the laundry but not with modern dependable gas appliances as you know laundering demands a constant supply of hot water well with gas you always have plenty here's why when you use hot water the gas turns on automatically quickly eating the cold water in minutes the entire tank is hot and even on stormy days an automatic gas dryer brings warm sunny weather to your clothes set this control and inside your dryer the action of gas heat is so gentle it's safe even for the most delicate fabric gas dries clothes the widest sloppiest 30 to 1 and gas costs so much less to install and use so for the cleanest quickest laundering at the lowest cost visit your gas company gas appliance dealer or plumber and see for yourself by today more people than ever are doing the laundry yeah but women do have intuition I know and I believe an extra sensory perception but I do not attribute a predominance of it to all women like that thing that we are the only one I just got you saying about branches of eight are we playing games hello oh hi Willard Willard what's with this Willard business why does he ever call every time I go over here look what's with this Pilots younger brother business yeah why does he call me too much on the plane you be quiet what's he checking on

please yeah what time was that thank you Keita joke Donaldson tower cheese this is Keith South coastal oh yes mr. Keats about your plane that was interceptor command I just got a report from a ground observer Corps man on Ocracoke Island I'll show you [Music] that is about 20 miles southwest of Hatteras two minutes ago mr. Keats that's what you're playing with spotted when he did you're still in the air flying about 500 feet but still flying the strange thing about your plane mr. Keats was flying dark what that's what the spotter said a ghost ship not a light on it but I don't understand you said he ditched to the ocean said we assumed he ditched we lost him on radar well then he's still playing that's all I wanted to know he's still in the air wait a minute don't go off half-cocked this is an unconfirmed report probably some little old man maybe saw it maybe just wants to get in on the fun a lot of people like that all over the country they want to identify themselves with every accident disaster or that they saw it or not Coast Guard at Elizabeth City for you sir Reagan Idol well that's hard to believe yes okay thanks that's spot on the island his report checks out what radar Elizabeth City just picture plane up again on this camp how did they pick it up again he has already been off radar I don't think those many years know their business mate all right water confirming unidentified plane on their screen made his turn present heading three five six he's still in the air mr. donalsen Norfolk Naval has unidentified blip on the screen which could be two one four how could this happen well I think I can tell you that mr. Keats especially with your plane flying dark without lights a ten thousand to one shot happened when your plane took off from Miami his electrical system winner his radio his lights over half his instruments the plane flies all right they just have no electricity well then why didn't the pilot turn back to Miami too much fewer load too much weight no safety factor besides Miami ceiling went below landing point just before he took off then he's flying what do you think of this that plane is flying it's in the air it's pointing you just like I said it would despite almost scary headlines they want a headline or two I'll give him a headline that's why I met down over address looking for visual attention hey you go down so low we lost him on radar that's when the supply Tucson he got his fix of Hatteras and then went right back up LT why he showed up on the screen of that fits what do you suppose he'll go Floyd bout the pilot knows no radio he can't tell us any time yeah put that in your headlines where well idle while that's where yes you can quote me you shouldn't have said that mr. Keats how would you know where he's headed well I'd allows the logical place isn't it I know wives its flight plan he'll bring it right in here to Idlewild [Applause] I may sound crazy but you know I think you may have figured it bring a black dog playing into Idlewild with no radio contacts yet much choice when you only feel on the eastern seaboard not sucked in they could better get ready to receive [Music] used to be when you lived in a house you needed several things for sure such as one hammer one lawnmower and for insurance policies for yep count'em fire on your home on its contents theft and family liability it was inconvenient and expensive but now the folks in Allstate have an answer one policy that does the work of for all states new homeowners policy one big package of
