Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and lustre cream shampoo for soft glamorous, caressable hair bring you our Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden! Time once again for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks written by Al Lewis.

Well, last Thursday was Thanksgiving Day, and most of us realized that we had quite a bit to be thankful for. Even our Miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School. Yes, a holiday means a lot to me. First, it gives me an opportunity to relax and count my lack of blessing. And second, it offers a chance to catch up on several days' brooding.

I was planning my menu for tomorrow. It's Thanksgiving, you know, and I wanted something special from a nerve in me. Minerva? Yeah. Oh, there you are. You cute little kitten. Where is she, Connie? Taking my stocking off with her cute little paws.

Yeah. Yeah. Stop it, Minerva. Now, get away from my stocking. Yeah. Either get away from those or knit me a new pair with that ball of yarn you play with. Go out to the kitchen, Minerva.

I want you to hear about tomorrow's menu. Ew! What are you having, Mrs. Davis? Minerva's favorite dish. S-Q-U-A-B. Ew, me! Doesn't do a bit of good to spell things out anymore. I guess she's too old for that.

Please go into the kitchen, Minerva. There's some milk out there. Ew! Right under the S-I-N-K. Don't tell me she slammed the door behind her. Ew! Me, Connie. I wanted to show you the squab I got for tomorrow.
