And I believe that's our ring. I know it's llama, I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstor. This is love and abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. In an effort to keep the new school teacher, Miss Fredericks, from spending her weekend studying at the County Seat Library, Lum has decided to open up a Pine Ridge Library

in the Johnum Downstor. Abner spent the morning canvassing the town for old books, magazines, and newspapers for the library. And now, as we look in on the little community today, we find the two librarians checking through the material that Abner brought in.

Listen. The balance of the evening was spent in playing cards and games. All reported a good time was had by all. And a quick reading and papers. We ain't getting all these books and magazines and papers in here for you to read, or for the library.

Well, ain't that what the library's first to read in? Of course it is, but we gotta get it started first. Lay down them papers and help me put some of these books in the shelves.

In the shelves? Well, them are filled up with canned goods long. Wait a minute, here's our take a little about old Tom Blavings. Yeah, if you'd get your nose out of them news weeklies for a second, you'd see the shelves is empty.

I moved all the canned goods over with the harness over there. Plenty of room. Now you get over there with them shells and I'll start handing you the books. All right, start handing them to me. I'm ready.

Tom Blavitt's journey to olden Saturday night to visit Relay. After you're not paying attention. I mean, get over by the shells next to the winder there. The winder? Yeah, the winder. Granny, that reminds me too.
