John Charles David good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to What's My Line once again tonight we have some interesting occupations and I might say if I can be allowed to preview all of them attached there's some very interesting and admirable and charming young ladies or as it may be a very fine gentleman and we think we could have a panel a bit of a trouble tonight we'll also have a famous mystery guest before my friends a little bit later in the show and we'll meet our first challenger in just one minute and now let's meet our first contestant will you enter the premises and sign in please down cecil edith critics is that right miss or mrs. Frederic's mrs. Farex where are you from alliance Nebraska alliance Nebraska well it's nice to have you we haven't had anybody from the Bascom for a long time mrs. farik's the panel panel mrs. barracks will you come and join me may I ask if you're familiar with the way we keep score good then that's that everybody in the theater except the panel and all your friends in Nebraska and my two or three friends in the part of New England that I used to come from know exactly what your line is mrs. crater is salaried and let's begin the general questioning with Bennett Cerf mrs. Phares the last time I heard of Nebraska was in rain I believe that was mentioned are you a person who performs services you are are they services that John and the members of this panel might avail themselves out minute I don't think it's necessary to involve me in these how can I have any fun if you do the answer is yes the answer is yes in under 30 seconds in other words your services might be performed both for men and for women yes mrs. Ferris do you work for a profit-making organization no one down at nine to go miss Kilgallen uh are our people ever pleased to have your services yes are they ever not pleased to be involved with you no are they - they're always pleased is that it well I think the assumption here is that we must accept and I'm sure that mrs. Ferris would insist that anybody who is lucky enough to be the recipient of the services irrespective of their particular estate has had some benefit therefrom oh I only ask the question because you seemed rather annoyed to be connected with this particular oh I was just having fun would this service be more suitable in application for an adult than a child yes is it done indoors ah is there more than one person involved at a time could several people gather together and be the recipient of a lunar yes and they'd be having fun well I think we'll have to give you a no on that that's two days ago mr. Kovak uh these people always come to you notice I didn't finish the sentence it really shouldn't be counted against me I left it hanging a little bit well I I just wanted to take the assumption that is the premise for the question in hand and give you a big fat no because the assumption is in error speak again sweet little ego is ready you said it was a non profit making organization is it could be anything disciplinary in your job in any way no no that's true that's four down and six to go mister sir mrs. Phares do you do your salary job for some kind of a governmental that might be the national state or local government yes we have to guess which one it is is it after you do your work out Nebraska would it be a local organization yeah I think we'd agree that it's local in character within the frame of reference that you were drawn so far and it has nothing to do with the Disciplinary part of the apparatus has it anything to do no and before you the question that was asked was whether mrs. Frerichs had any disciplinary responsibility in her functions and she has not that's the answer we gave a bit ago I think takes care I'm not gonna be pulled in by that have you anything to do with the educational section of the town you know schools and all the other allied areas of Education like the extension courses and things like that no that's fine mr. Dahle is your work mental as well as physical yes do you go about from place to place yeah doing it you could well I'm sorry I mean yes we let the answer go about from place to place presupposing that you do not have a specific term of reference there as meaning one state to another oh no just that she doesn't stay in one little office Oh on that basis the answer would be you said that it's indoors uh dividing all branches of government service into executive judicial and legislation legislative would you say that you have anything to do with the judicial system no that makes it six down and four to go mr. Kovaks I'm going to give you one more minute you don't seem to be getting even close to this why don't we just sit here for a minute everyone can think lovely thoughts this isn't is this connected with a an institution disciplinary institution in any way yeah I was afraid you'd say that because I gotta got off the hook if he said no you know is this with a penal institution do you have anything to do medically for this penal institution now hoping you had because I was on my way then for a minute seven down and three to go yes Bennett I'll wake my cat all right uh do you wear any kind of uniform in your job at all no it's more question rather gay at that institution yeah good deal $8.00 through to Gobi Desert well now you will connect it with a penal institution but you said that you go outside to people's homes have you got anything there for to do with probation no no I bring in the towel I don't think you're going to get it actually it's a unique situation better which is one of the things that mislead you I think mrs. Farex is the cook for the County Jail in alliance Nebraska credit purchase the supplies prepares the meals in her home and then they go over to the county jail Oh see they have a petition in the county jail nope no no I think we ought to work toward that end yeah I think so do it mrs. Frank's thank you for working toward a very enjoyable and you stuck the panel and thanks for being our guest nice to have you let's see what you can do with a second challenger would you come in and sign in please Merle Emma dick that right mrs. Dec and where are you from Allen Allentown Pennsylvania nice to have you with it a neighboring state would agree a neighboring state in our northern borders panel miss dick dick panel would you join me over here do you know how we keep score mr. dick Oh fine then let's that everybody at home and our friends here in the theater know exactly what your line here mrs. deck is salaried and we'll begin the general questioning with Ernie Kovacs mrs. deck is there a product involved in what you do I hope it isn't pigs are skunks or I'll be blamed for it in the morning paper is it something you can fold hide hold can you fold this product and you can avoid the problem well I would say this I think that if brute strength were applied you can fold most anything but the product is not meant to be folded and therefore I will give you a note I didn't ask if it was meant to be folded mr. Daly I said can it be folded shall we stick to the facts I must now take refuge in the fact that if you're going to be literal we will have to consider that anything that cannot be folded without breaking and not be folded therefore people talk to you that's one down and nine to go miss Francine is this product found in the home mrs. deck yes is it something that could be held in the hand yes is it found in a particular room of the home rather than all rooms now that's two down and eight to go mister since it can be found then in several rooms in the house yes I would like to say here so that you're not misled that you might as a matter of personal choice tend to have it in one room basically but still use it generally so to that degree it soon it's used in all room could this object be bought mister deck in Allentown's has brothers department store no it could not no small question I thought his brothers had everything yeah disappointed in a house party I would say this bet it just for fear that we might be in error we will give you a qualitative reply on that on the basis that it's possible but we're not sure so this procedure you would think has this product ever been in the ground or on the ground yes has any part of this product ever been underneath the ground no no that's uh three nine and seven to go miss Kilgallen if you were giving a Pennsylvania Dutch dinner would this be anywhere in sight possible if it were in sight maybe it's mr. dick if it were in sight could you eat it I would advise that know what doesn't things to go mr. Kovic well being cautious again because I got so involved last week is this something that is acceptable at the table when you're eating it's acceptable at the table yes yes is it something that you plug in is it the sort of a product that needs something else put on it to be useful yeah it's got a fourth coat sir mrs. dank if it was at the table would it be more likely to be on the table than on the person of somebody sitting around the table it would depend almost entirely on circumstances either would be the case it could be on it in otherwise might this be considered a piece of wearing apparel wearing it now seven down and three to go miss go down I've got to give you one more minute now Jackie who said that this cannot be folded without breaking right is it solid rather than liquid thin yes me the first liquid I ever couldn't fold it on break and everyone just want to make sure everything is so indefinite mm-hmm um and it can be held in the hand definitely would it ever be found on a table any kind of a table not necessarily a dinner table that it could be put on a table that shot it is also found on or in the ground it is also found on or in the ground stage in its career on or above the grass not in its character changed between the time it is on or in the ground and the time that it arrives in your home by some process you would it be called manufactured hmm it's not edible and it's not apparel would it be adornment of any kind adornment no I'm afraid not that make an 8 down and two to go give you 30 seconds mr.
