J.T.L.F.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Goody Goodbye. You know this coming Friday is the first official day of winter, and during the dark, blustery days ahead, you'll find nothing lights up the dinner table like the gig Glade of Orange Jell-O served as a bright tempting salad or dessert.

But suppose you live in the Florida or sunny California where you don't have to worry about dark winter days. Well, orange jello is still your dish, for its cheerful color reflects the sunshine, and its extra rich flavor rivals the tempting goodness of the real ripe fruit itself.

Or try attempting sea green mold of lime jello served with slices of canned pineapple. Or, what would you say to lemon jello is golden a sunshine with stewed figs and whipped cream folded in, to make a delicious creamy fig pudding.

While there are dozens of grand ways to serve Jell-O, each one a creation that will climax the meal. So stock up on Jell-O tomorrow and look for the big red letters on the box when you buy.

They spell Jell-O in six delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. That was Goody Goodbye, played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you our worn-out master of ceremonies.

Between his broadcast at NBC, his picture at Paramount, and his Christmas shopping at the Five and Ten... He's the busiest little man in Hollywood! Jack Benny! Uh, Jill Ogan, this is Tilly the Toiler talking.

And Don, you're right, I don't ever remember being as rushed as I've been this past week. I'm a ret. I could appreciate that, Jack. You know, when I got home last night, I was so exhausted I didn't have the energy to go upstairs.
