This track has two back-to-back episodes edited together. Interesting to hear the request to aid the coming WW II efforts through grocery shopping... saving easy to preserve foods for the troops and buying fresh fruits, vegetables and such at home. Show stars Art Van Harvey as Victor Gook, Bernardine Flynn as Sade Gook, and Bill Idelson as Rush Gook, their adopted son. Audio intro to the track has history of the show and a list of some of the character names that writer Paul Rhymer came up with for the series. 7 million people listened to this show that ran 15 min per day, 5 days a week for 12 years! It has been reported that Paul Rhymer wrote about 5000 scripts of this series. The Gooks were know as "America's Home Folks!"... it is all about the dialog... very little sound effects or music... just down to earth dialog... brilliantly written by Paul Rhymer and brilliantly acted by the vocal talents that played the roles.
