What happens
Lum and Abner sit on the front porch of Lum's home on Memorial Day while Abner visits. Lum has just given a speech at the Memorial Day ceremony, and Abner relays gossip about the crowd, including remarks about Lum's speaking and a man named Mose who is said to be behind on his store credit. The two talk over whether to extend more credit to Mose, and Abner reports that someone has suggested Lum will not be asked to speak again next year. The series is Lum and Abner, first broadcast on May 30, 1941 on NBC, with Chester Lauck, Norris Goff and Lurene Tuttle in the leading roles.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
