Hi, my name is Daryl Hofflin. I'm Sheboygan City Administrator. Today I will present the results of the 2019 community survey. The request for citizen input for this annual community survey is a result of the city's focus area in its strategic plan for enhanced communication. The 2019 community survey was conducted early due to the city's eligibility for a $4,000 ARP grant to assist the city in marketing this survey. The 2019 community survey was more comprehensive in nature. Surveys that will be conducting the future 2020 and 2021 will be more condensed with a reduced number of questions. I want to extend my appreciation to the Sheboygan for All Task Force, which spent considerable time in reviewing survey questions. I look forward to the Task Force continued work and effort in utilizing information received from this survey. Although the survey was translated into Spanish, the city received only a limited number of Spanish-based survey results. 29. This is consistent with the survey's response that 99% of the survey respondents indicated that they prefer English as the language for citizen communication. The city received 1,277 survey results, an increase of 44% since the inaugural survey in 2016, where 680 respondents performed the survey. City staff and members of the Sheboygan for All Task Force successfully marketed the 2019 survey. This fall or last fall, Acuity and Sheboygan Area School District cooperated with the city to promote the survey to their employees, which were greatly appreciated. Paper copies were also available at the Sheboygan Senior Activity Center, as well as the Mead Public Library. This was to encourage residents that don't have access to a computer to participate. Typical survey participants for the English-based survey. The demographics changed slightly. In the past, it was a 52-year-old was the average age. This year, the average age was 45. For the Spanish-based survey, the average age was 38. In response to questions, what best describes your opinion of the general quality of life in the city of Sheboygan, 87% identified the following survey responses, excellent, very good, or good. This is a 13% increase over survey results in 2016, 17, as well as 18. In response to the question, what direction is the city headed, 78% responded improving or steady. This is a 11% improvement over the 2017 and in fact a 21% increase over the 2018 survey results. A question, which is a standard question for many communities to obtain citizens' perceptions of how safe their community is, the comprehensive annual survey asked two questions, how safe do you feel walking alone during the day and how safe do you feel walking alone at night. Sheboyganites felt very safe during the day, 94% responded as excellent or very good, 69% felt very safe or safe at night. Those who responded unsafe dropped 50% since the inaugural survey in 2016. In response to the question, how do you think the city is doing in overall performance, 73% indicated excellent or good, 11% increase from 2018 in response with similar responses of excellent or good. In response to a question, how is the city doing in focusing on priorities that matter most to its citizens, 50% of participants responded with an excellent or good rating. This is an increase of 16% since 2016. In response to the question, how is the city doing in delivering services efficiently, 65% of the participants responded again with an excellent or good rating. This is an 8% increase since 2016. Another question, in response to how is the city doing in managing the taxpayers' money, 54% selected excellent or good, up 46% from last year's survey. In response to the question, how is the city doing in keeping residents informed, 63% chose excellent or good, up 10% from last year's survey. Overall, ratings for the city have increased significantly since 2016. In fact, a tie for services which had the most significant increase and excellent or good ratings are zoning or land use and support for the arts, a 25% increase since 2016. The next is transit services, which rating has increased 23% over the past three years. Excellent or good rating currently stands at 78%. Significant increases in excellent or good responses also saw a significant increase for overall city administration, support for the neighborhoods, and various public work services. Excellent or good responses since 2016, the city also saw a significant increase for library services, which overall rating is 93%. Street maintenance, 12% and emergency medical services, 11% increase. Both fire services and police services have very high ratings of excellent or good. Fire service stands at 94%. Police services stands at 88%. Both have experienced a 10% improvement in overall ratings. For attracting and keeping businesses, city perceived the city as less than successful with a 44% rating of excellent or good, but a 7% increase since 2016. The top rated city departments for 2019 community survey, it's a tie. Mid-public library, fire department, coming in number three, the police department, four senior activity center, and five, the water utility. City departments that shown a significant increase in excellent or good ratings. Since 2016 include Shoreland Metro, Common Council, and Property Assessment. Shoreland Metro comes in at an 83% excellent or good response. Other departments that received a substantial increase in excellent or good ratings since 2016 include the finance department, human resource department, and at 91% an overall excellent or good rating and 8% increase since 2016. Other ratings, an 8% increase in the public works rating of excellent or good, 6% increase by the fire department, which stands at 93% overall, and municipal court, an 6% increase. Where do city residents receive their information? 2019 for the first year, the city's website is rated as the top source for city information. Sheboygan Press previously held that position in the 2016, 17, and 18 as a top source. Sheboygan's son has always been in the top five list for communication sources, and the city's Facebook has appeared for the first time in the top five list of information sources. Another question that was asked on the survey is how to fund rising costs and providing services. The highest choice selected was, use a combination of increased property taxes, user fees, and charges, which stands at 48% of the overall respondents. The city also asked, what are the most important reasons why you call Sheboygan home? The number one answer was proximity to family and friends. Second answer, highest answer was proximity to employment. And the last is proximity to Lake Michigan. The city also asked open-ended questions on, please provide us with your suggestions for the 2019 and 2020 projects or initiatives. The attached slide is a word cloud with the larger the font, the higher the frequency that this was part of the answer. Street repair, fixed streets, repair roads, fixed roads were all in essence the number one response. The city also asked another open-ended question about city government and related services or projects. Again, using a word cloud with the larger font, meaning the higher response rate, roads and streets, comments about neighborhoods, comments about housing were the highest rated responses. I'm pleased to note that a good job was a frequently identified response. Also, none was a frequent identified comment. For the results of the 2019 survey, both the city's management team and the Common Council will use this information to provide support for reviewing its strategic plans. The six focus areas of the strategic plan are quality of life, infrastructure public facilities, economic development, neighborhood revitalization, governing and fiscal management and communication. A complete list of the survey responses are available on the city's website. The next anticipated survey will occur in February of March of 2020. As part of offering the survey this year, the city provided an incentive of $100 Sheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce gift card. Tracy Gostick Schmidt was the winner of that $100 gift certificate. Her comment that she provided the city was, I just love the city. I wish that more of our fellow residents would recognize its potential and embrace all that it has to offer. As a new resident of only a year and a half, my neighborhood and my city as a whole has proven to exceed my expectations. Thanks again Tracy for those comments. Again, I appreciate you listening to today's survey presentation. If you have any questions feel free to contact me either through an email or through a phone call. Thanks again for taking time to learn more about the survey.


Welcome everyone, once again, let's talk about politics and governance today. The topic, platform workers. Are they employees or contractors? Because in Canada and the European Union, the two case studies we're going to have here, the status of platform workers is quite a hot topic. So on both sides of the Atlantic, policymakers, labour advocates are grappling with how to protect the rights of these workers, who are often misclassified as contractors. And so I have invited Raul Gibbert to explain to us to let us know more about the differences, the different approaches that Canada and the European Union are taking to this issue. So we're going to talk about, we're going to discuss the challenges, the opportunities that lie ahead for platform workers in both regions. Raul, welcome to our episode. Yes, good morning. Hello. So Raul, tell us about why you decided to conduct research on platform workers, because the European Union and Canada are both taking steps to address this issue and is an area of active research and debate, apparently. Yeah, I mean, the platform economy, people were thinking about an oil platform here that they're not on the right track. This is the platform economy, big workers, we also call them. It's obviously a part of the economy that is growing exponentially. And this large growth in that sector has really created a mismatch between labour law and practice, but also between labour organisations and actors on the labour market and these workers, where there's now millions who are, as you rightly mentioned, are either misclassified or maybe they're classified correctly, but they're lacking sort of basic protections. And that motivated me to look at the sector and at these workers a little bit more closely to see how they can potentially benefit from some of the protections that other workers do. Yeah, because as you said, it's a sector that are growing exponentially. So there was, and you are very clear in the article about this, there is a clear gap in research when it comes to platform work. Is that so? Well, the gap really exists both in research and in practice, right? It is something that is very quickly developing and has been developing over the last couple of years. So I think research is having to play catch up and trying to wrap its mind around how to tackle this. And we can talk about the two different ways of trying to include these workers in a little bit more detail afterwards. But there's also a gap in the practice, right? So practitioners are actually looking for advice and looking for new solutions to try to deal with the very practical problems that arise, be it occupational health and safety, be it high turnover and dissatisfaction with jobs and so on and so forth that can happen in these conditions. You set out to then explore the rights, several ways of rights for platform workers. So let us know about the most important findings or highlights of your study. So I think my argument as, I'm not a labor lawyer, so labor lawyers can argue the other side. While it is important to obviously update the labor codes and the labor norms that with employment norms and so on and so forth, I think one of my main objectives of the article was to show that labor market actors such as trade unions, but also potentially employers organizations or professional associations, they need to step up to the plate here and they need to reach out to these workers. Because just either squeezing these, and this is the two different ways of doing it that I referred to earlier, just squeezing these platform workers into the existing labor code with a couple of tweaks or creating some other sort of frameworks that would be directed only to platform workers is going to fail if we don't actually reach out to these workers and organize them and have their collective input on it. And I think that is really what this story from the field work also tells quite impressively that when a traditional labor market actor like the trade union reaches out and organizes these people and organizes them their way, meets them halfway and brings them in, then you can get some success with traditional labor law or maybe an upgraded version they're off. But if we don't do that, if it's something that only happens in the field of policy, lawmaking and the labor courts, then we're unlikely to succeed. And maybe that's the pitfalls for the European scenario of we only go about it from the European Union as a directive and then implementation of the countries that needs to be action as well with labor market organizations being involved. Let's talk about action because you revealed a bit about the actors of the labor market in this situation. So I'm curious to know more about policy implications for this, maybe in both cases of Canada and the European Union, what can you tell us about that? Yeah, so I mean I look specifically at the food delivery market as one of the sub sector of these growing a platform work work that's essentially dictated by algorithms and I think a couple of the policy elements that give the workers the tool to work together but also to a certain point to work with their what I would call employers, employers don't always agree with that, to address some of the main issues that's really where policy can help, right? So it is about having information about the algorithms that they work for or that they work under so that scheduling and payment arrangements, fees schedules and so on so forth become at the very least transparent. Questions around discipline, these algorithms that will upgrade or downgrade you based on delivery times and scores that were attributed by the clients, for example. In one basket I would say of transparency dealing with these algorithms themselves and making sure that workers actually understand how they fit into this machinery. The other aspect is occupational health and safety. So the whole issues around workplace safety and workplace accidents. It becomes really tricky when there's no workplace, no physical workplace and nobody will expect from some of these companies to control everything that's going on in terms of the weather, in terms of the road conditions, in terms of other reckless drivers and all of these really horrible stories that I was able to collect during the field work. However, there's policy involved, right? I mean, this is not the first time we have mobile workforce. So there is potential options for the policymaker, be it some form of no-fault insurance, definitely having a payment scheme for, we call it Workman's Comp or Worker's Compensation schemes. So these types of policy tools need to be updated and upgraded in order to protect and include these workers. And what opportunities do you think that there is for further research in this topic? For example, other sectors then food delivery markets or also maybe the role of technologies and the platforms, because you mentioned the algorithm. So what's ahead of us now? Yeah. So I mean, we can think of the platform economy on a sort of scale off, how much autonomy do I have and how good or bad are my working conditions? And in terms of the food delivery sector, people are in the, I would say in the quarter that has very little autonomy in terms of control over their work and that have relatively poor working conditions. But certainly this research and looking at the platform economy also needs to eventually look at other gate workers who may have more autonomy because they have better skills, for example, or people who have better working conditions to a certain point but lack the autonomy. Right. So I think these two elements and the two examples that I gave. So the algorithmic management and the transparency around it, that speaks to the autonomy aspect and the working conditions, be it health and safety problems or pay, vacation, family, equilibrium and so on so forth. That is on a second scale and I think by really going into these two research axes around transparency and the algorithm itself on the one hand and then the working conditions on the other, I think we can start to map out the platform economy a lot better and find solutions that are appropriate for different groups of workers there. Perfect. This has been an episode very straight to the point, but I would like to challenge you to wrap this episode up. If someone just came to join our conversation and you only had one or two sentences to pass the message, the most important message of your research, what would it be? The platform economy is growing, it's not going away and both legislators and labor market organizations need to step up their game in order to reach out to these workers and more meaningfully protect them and include them in the labor market in a meaningful way.

SAP's annual conference, this is SiliconANGLE's exclusive coverage, theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events, extract the signal from the noise. I'm joined with my co-host, Jeff Kelly from wikibon.org, the number one big data analyst on the planet. Jeff, we've got a great segment here. Peter Graf, who's the chief sustainability officer of SAP, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, welcome everybody. We've had the sustainability group on every year, and it's been a mission as part of SAP. SAP has been one of those corporate cultures where they work hard, they play hard, and they also have a real citizenship aspect of life of the planet. And obviously with all the fast data mobility in HANA, the speed of business speeds things up, and speed is a competitive advantage, as Bill McDermott said. I've got to ask you the first question. How has that sped up your sustainability efforts? So first of all, sustainability is not so much about doing the right thing for society or the planet. It's about understanding where economic interests and environmental and social interests overlap. So it's about business at the end of the day, and we take a lot of pride in having not just had a sustainability strategy where we're trying to reduce carbon and we're trying to invest in society, but do that in a way that it drives economic benefit for SAP as well as our customers. And the customers. And there's a residual effect obviously to society and whatnot. But let's say he's more specific. I mean, there's tech involved, right? And you've got mobility, you've got people connected. So how is HANA and the mobility acceleration affected some of the things you're working on? So let me give you an example. A product we just launched about two weeks ago is called Tugo by SAP. And it's a solution that helps companies to organize carpools of employees getting to work. And that has a multitude of benefits. And it shows very nicely this interconnection between economic, environmental, and social benefits. Economically, SAP drove $5 million of value by using Tugo internally for two years. Now, also it helped us save in an enormous amount of carbon emissions. We avoided 400,000 miles being driven. But we also created 2,200-person days of people networking, getting together, driving to work together. So this is what we did within SAP using the solution. Now we have taken it to the customers. It's mobile. It's in the cloud. You go live with it in one minute. And it's apparently a business to business to consume a solution, just like the sports solutions that Bill McDermott talked about this morning. Interesting. So you mentioned, right before we went on, you mentioned something about an integrated reports, any report you guys are doing now. So you, as John mentioned, so SAP is really focused on this issue. Tell us about what you're doing in terms of the integrated report. I guess bringing together your financials with your sustainability and kind of showing where they intersect or how they support one another. Explain that a little bit. So an integrated report combines what used to be an annual report and what used to be a sustainability report into one document. And usually people think about integrated reporting as the outcome of a long process where people are discussing how they can drive sustainability into their strategy. We went a different approach. We used the creation of an integrated report as a catalyst, as an accelerator, to more deeply embedding sustainability into how we run our business. And the core of the report is the explanation of how our non-financial performance, like our employee engagement, our retention, our energy consumption, our carbon emissions, how that relates to the financial performance of the company. And that is hugely interesting, not for the sake of being better for the planet or better for society, but for the sake of being a better business. So for example, every percent of employee retention represents a 62 million euro value for SAP. So that's connecting the employee retention non-financial performance with the financial performance of the company. Or over the last five years, our energy efficiency increases have helped avoid costs in excess of 220 million euros. That's about 285 million dollars over five years. Creating those connections makes sustainability relevant for the business and it's a great proof point of the value we create so that customers can use our solutions to do the same. Yeah, absolutely, because we hear about green IT, right?  And that kind of fizzled, I think, because exactly what you said, it's not expecting companies to be more efficient and sustainable simply to help the environment clearly is not going to be the catalyst you need. So you're trying to tie together the financial metrics of a company with some of the things you're doing on sustainability to really build that business case and show the value of what you're doing, not just to the environment, but to your bottom line. But in essence, make sustainable thinking, which is essentially just the recognition that you need to be around in 10 or in five years, long-term success, make that a bigger part of how you steer the company on a day-to-day basis. And we're doing a lot of things that help companies do that, from analytics so that they can see the status quo to applications that can help them get more efficient and eventually transform behavior and processes within the organization. And we do that across a wide variety of industries. Peter, on the, there's some buzz on Twitter about Harley-Davidson increasing their performance and R&D and manufacturing and sustainability. Is that related to some of the things you're doing? Is that, do you have insights on that? What all these companies have in common is they're trying to take sustainability and make it part of the core of how they create value. So for a software company, for us that means create better software that can help other companies run more sustainably. For a company like Harley-Davidson is, look at your value chain, your suppliers, as well as what you do in the product for your customers and help your customers have a more sustainable experience. What does sustainable mean? I mean, is that like, is it more green? Is it just more efficiency? Because we heard from, with McDermott's press conference and obviously the CEO of Under Armour, he was talking about some of the inefficiencies with shipping and like they were going out 60% full and they had allocation problems of inventory as they're massively growing. Is that an example of sustainability that's just efficiency? I mean, how do you kind of like parse through that? Because it's a fuzzy gray area. You know. So sustainability as the way how I see it is really the interconnection where economic, environmental, and social interests overlap. And the point being that sustainable business means a business that is designed to function in the long run. It's not something that works for a very short period of time. And then, you know, you have you maneuvered yourself into a situation where you have a declining growth or where you're in a bad situation. So for example, it's about thinking five or 10 years ahead. And can you continue to be the number one or two in your industry in 10 or in 15 or in five years if you continue to operate as you do? So is the Under Armour example sustainability because if they can get containers packed and that's going to be efficient? I mean, it's kind of like a weird example.  The companies who ignore sustainability and sustainable thinking and who don't treat society or the environment with respect, many of those, specifically those that are very close to consumers, they feel a backlash because consumers start to boycott their products. And we've seen this with exploding oil rigs. We've seen this with child labor in sneakers. We've seen this in many examples, the risk of not running in a sustainable way and being punished by the consumers is real. And that's why many companies that are close to the consumers are the ones who are the role models for sustainability because they're the furthest ahead. They need to do the most in order to avoid that they have this backlash from the consumers. So I have a question about kind of the intersection of sustainability and big data, actually. So not necessarily how big data can help companies be more sustainable, but how big data is impacting sustainability across industry. So of course there's, we see lots of reports and information in the media about the amount of data being created is just going through the roof and more with technologies like Hadoop and other things you can store more of that data. But that all creates a much larger footprint in the data center. So as more companies start to invest in technology to store all this data, they're really getting, I mean even companies that were not considered technology savvy are starting to get into this business. So as the amount of data grows, the amount of data being stored grows, data centers are going to grow, how does that impact sustainability and how is SAP going to try to help their customers, particularly the ones that are really data storage and data intensive, actually do that kind of big data analytics and big data storage in a sustainable way without creating just a whole nother problem. So two thoughts on this. First of all, we do a lot with systems that help companies run more sustainably. So and yes, these systems, they require resources, they require electricity and cooling and so forth. However, for all of these systems, what we have seen is that the value they create in the real world outside of data center is much larger than what they consume. In other words, McKinsey did a great study a couple of years back, they analyzed that the IT and communications industry has between two and 3% of the worldwide's carbon emissions that they cause. However, they can help avoid 16% of the carbon emissions through technology. So we have a huge lever, a factor of six or eight, with which we can actually help improve the situation, not worsen the situation, so that's number one. The second is that you've heard that SAP is making a big push into the HANA cloud and about taking some of that load off our customer's shoulders. And that includes the electricity. Already today, 60% of our global electricity is sourced from renewable sources. We're very proud of that, it's a significant investment and it actually helps showcase to our customers that we're serious about this and that we are driving to deliver those solutions to them with the lowest possible footprint. Interesting, so and as you, obviously SAP plays across vertical markets, you've got customers and we saw some today in the sports industry but they're in manufacturing, they're in high tech, they're in sorts of verticals. Is there a strategy that is necessary for each vertical or even each company? How do you deal with sustainability across such a broad set of customers? Many of those strategies, as you call it, they cross industries and that's when they become transformational. And for example, we are researching right now our move into the connected car and the car not just as something that has a web browser but something that actually can conduct business. So that from the convenience of your own dashboard you can authorize the payment of a parking garage or your fuel and stuff like that. And that is transcending industries, it's transcending the parking garage operators and the oil and gas industry and the automotive industry and it creates new scenarios that deliver completely new levels of efficiency because you can inform drivers more proactively, you can reward them, you can send them to do specific things, you can have gamification elements to it. And simple things like looking for parking which actually causes 30% of the traffic in big cities, that can actually be transformed in a different experience. So yes, you're right on the money, we see the biggest opportunity to transformation when we overcome the boundaries between industries and HANA is a fabulous platform because it can cope with the amount of data that's required to do that. Peter, just to kind of wrap up the segment here, I wanted you to elaborate on the future of sustainability, kind of also the big message with HANA and cloud is speed to value. And so how are we getting faster to value on the sustainability side? And what's changing? What do you see as key challenges that are being managed and being looked at by the brightest minds at SAP and around the world? So we really see three constituents pushing the sustainability agenda. First of all, the governments and they have very different speeds around the world and we deliver solutions to customers that help them cope with those regulations in the most painless way possible. The second constituents are the consumers. They are demanding more transparency. We've just had this horrible accident in Bangladesh with the clothes manufacturer. So people start asking questions about clothes and where do they come from and what do the people make who are making these shirts and stuff like that? So consumers are playing an increasingly important role. And the most important role I believe comes to those who have enormous power in their supply chains, the huge retailers, the big consumer companies, they can actually take entire value chains with them and force them to behave in specific ways because of their buying power. And we see that as a huge accelerator at the moment because these big companies, they want their consumers to feel safe, to feel like they're making a reasonable and responsible choice with the products they buy. That's what I see as the biggest driver. Okay, Peter, Dr. Peter Graf, here inside theCUBE, Chief Sustainability Officer at SAP, thanks for joining us. This is exclusive SiliconANGLE.com's coverage with Wikibon.org here at Sapphire now, our fourth consecutive event here. Great message. SAP has stayed the course on sustainability, mobile analytics. And the new stuff that's kind of forcing change is HANA and the cloud, but that's in a good way. We got it all here covered, more breaking analysis, more coverage wall-to-wall through Thursday live. Stay tuned, we've got more interviews coming up and possibly a fly-by by Bill McDermott, the co-CEO of SAP. We hope to have him on shortly. I know he's got a short window, so stay tuned, keep watching, we'll be right back.


The Avid and Castello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette that's first in the service according to actual sales records. See if your throat and your taste don't make Camel the first with you two. Find out for yourself. Into the rhythms of Freddie Rich and his orchestra, the Swedish and Swingy songs of Connie Hayes. And this being October 19th, we remind you that just 50 years ago tonight, the governor of North Carolina turned to the governor of South Carolina and said, Well, Castello, I just stopped by your mailbox and found a letter for you. Shall I read it to you? Why, I can read it myself. I'm a literate. No. Well, a letter from my cousin Corporal, Hugo Castello. It's a B letter. No, Castello, you don't mean a B letter. You mean a V letter. No, this is a B letter. He's putting a B on me for $10. And besides, Hugo's in the guardhouse again. What are you wrong this time? Well, he nailed a picture of a pin-up girl on the wall of his tent. Oh, nonsense. Why would they throw him in the guardhouse just for nailing a picture of the wall on his tent? Well, there was a sergeant standing outside. The tent was thin, the nail was long, and the sergeant was tall. Do you get the point? No. He did. Anyhow, I hope you're not going to send Hugo the money he asked for. Oh, yes, I am, Abbott. I went down to the bank to do out my 75 dollars that I made this summer working on Uncle Artie Stebbins Farm. Now, wait a minute, Castello. You can't draw that money out without consoling me. It so happens that I have a joint account. Not anymore, Robert. I just cleaned out the joint. Castello, you can't get away with this. Now, I want that 75 dollars right away. As your manager, I'm entitled to 10 percent. That means that out of the 75, I get 50 and you get 25. Well, that's okay. I mean, that's all, Abbott. I'm not trying to trim. I'm not trying to trim. Oh, certainly not. Wait a minute! Now, what's the matter? What's the matter? Are you trying to tell me that 10 percent of 75 is 50? Well, certainly you don't think I try to cheat you, do you?  Tiddly Wings?  How could I cheat you playing Tiddly Wings? You were using loaded Tiddly Wings. Castello, I'm going to prove to you right now that 10 percent of 75 is 50. Now, I'll do it by multiplying. Now, look. Now, 10 times 7 is 70. 10 times 5 is 50. 70 and 50 is 120. Now, of course, in California, half of everything goes to my wife. Half of 120 is 60. He deducts $8 for federal tax and $2 for social security leaves. $50 for me and $25 for you. I take it. You might as well take it. You've taken everything out.  I'm trying to help you lose. Abbott, you're loading the Tiddlies again. Oh, come, come, Castello.  And remember, figures don't lie. No, but sometimes liars figures. If I make corn a phrase... If I make corn a phrase... And I think I will. Now, I'll... Corn it. Now, just a minute. I'm going to do the figuring this time. Only instead of multiplying, I will detract. Now, now, 50 won't go into 10, no matter how much you shove it. No. So instead, we will use cubic feet, which is 2 feet to the foot. So, wait a minute. 2 feet to the foot. Yeah. How did you get the extra foot? I grew another foot this summer. All right, go ahead. Now, Abbott, please don't interrupt me. Now, to get 10% of 75, we divide by 3, bring down 4, hang up 6 and carry grand. Carry grand. Carry grand. He's getting kind of heavy. I think I'll unload him. Equals the sum of these days. I like that. Now, wait a minute. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing, Castella? Now, you got me all mixed up. What was I doing? You were...  Quiet, not quiet. Castella. Look, Steve Frank, tell me the truth. Do you know anything about figures? Oh, I've whistled at a few in my day. Oh, that is... Please, that isn't what I mean. Look, to prove to you that you know nothing about figures, I am going to give you a very simple mathematical problem. All right, Abbott. I tell you, just make it a very easy one this time. All right. None of that stuff, too. All right, all right, all right. One and two is... Easier than that. Make that one and one. All right, all right. Very well. Look here. Here's the problem.  I'm in love with a 10-year-old girl? Yes, yes, yes. This one's going to be a pit. What do you mean? I'm going around with a 10-year-old girl. So, wait a minute. You've got a good idea where I'm going to wind up. All right, all right. Here in the nursery. Who cares where you wind up? Now, look. You couldn't marry this 10-year-old girl, could you? Not unless I come from the mountain. And now, look. Wait a minute. This little girl is hypothetical. She's what? Hypothetical. Keep her away from me. That stuff is nasty. Can you please let me finish the problem?  This little girl is 10. You're four times as old as she is. So, you wait five years. Now, the little girl is 15 and you're 45. You're only three times as old as she is. Now, you wait 15 years more.  You're only twice as old as she is. Catching up. Catching up. Oh, yes. Catching up. You've got to notice those things. What page are you on? I don't know. Well, anyhow, anyhow, here's the big question. Here's the big question. How long do you have to wait until you and the little girl are the same age? Well, that's ridiculous. I mean, if I keep waiting for that girl, she'll pass me by. What do you mean? And if you wind up older than I am, then she'll have to wait for me. Why should she wait for you? I was nice enough to wait for her to marry me. I wanted to marry her.  Sure. Wait a minute. No. Then why should you marry a girl you don't even know? I mean, I... Ah, you... Ah, you dope. I mean, I'm... How can you expect me to trust you with her money? Oh, trust... You're so smart. Let me ask you a question. Certainly, ask me anything. All right. What's the difference between? The difference between? Yeah. Between what? See? He stuck already. Ah, I get it. Perhaps this isn't the right moment to be serious. Yet, any moment is the right moment to suggest to you that you try camels on your T-zone. That's T for taste and T for throat. Because what could be more important than giving your throat proper care and attention, including the right choice of a cigarette? Try the kind, cool mildness of camels on your throat. And see how your throat feels at the end of a long day smoking. And try camel's rich, full, fresh flavor on your taste. See for yourself how that flavor holds up, pack after pack, no matter how many you smoke. Camels, try them on your T-zone today. But Abbott may question Lucas Tello's mathematical ability, but we're sure no one will question the rhythmic talents of Freddie Rich and his orchestra as they play. I'll be seeing you. You just made an improper turn. You were driving on the sidewalk. You went through two red lights and you struck a pedestrian well gone. Sixty miles an hour. Sixty miles a minute. Can't give my friend a ticket. How did you know we wanted a lawyer? A little boy, they told me he said... Kitzel's no lawyer. I'm my chubby little cucumber. I'm going to defend you in court on a 90-90 basis. What's a 90-90 basis? Well, if we win, I get 90 dollars. And if we lose, you get 90 days. Gentlemen, I'll meet you by the court. Where are you going now? Oh, I got to go to my office and draw up my brief.  Yeah. Well, here's a safety pin. You can pin your briefs up right here in front of everybody. Cabot, you got me in enough trouble. I don't want this Kitzel for a lawyer. I think he's a phony. Oh, you heard me. The time is up. What are you going to do about it? I'll give you an extension. Something with me as your lawyer, Mr. Castello, you can possibly lose the case because we're going to plead insanity. Insanity? Uh-huh. But I'm not crazy. Maybe not, but I'm going to have in court why I handled such cases as meshers, slashes, and dead money cashers, pickups, pickups, and a few friends with hiccups, aidings, and beddings, and two-shot gun weddings, beneath the beezer and our gorgeous Kitzel. Not to mention hijackers, safe crackers, and mother-in-law smackers, robbers and crackers, and piggy bank shakers, forges and checkers, and Griffith park neckers, gyps, drips, and a girl with fat hips. He looks sweet. Apah. Important message from our Uncle Sam to his many loyal nieces. Some of America's finest young women wear the bright and flattering navy blue and gold, and they're proud of it. Now, more waves are urgently needed. The starting pay is equivalent to $141 a month, and with it go free medical and dental care, low-cost insurance, income tax exemptions, reduced transportation rates, theater admissions, all making the money side of being a wave still more attractive. So visit your nearest recruiting office now. Find out all about the waves. Now, our lovely thingies are Connie Haynes who is already to musically tell us is you in or is you away from our baby. Come on, Connie. I've got a man. The pictures of two lovely girls as easy on the eye as that song you just heard was easy on the ear. Two debutantes of Greenwich Connecticut, Renee and Cynthia Tebowl, who also happen to be busy workers in a war plant, and also both of them, Hardin Camel fans. My taste adores them, Cynthia says, and her sister Renee will tell you how mild and gentle to my throat. Millions of smokers say things like that about camels. Why don't you too try camels on your T-zone? That's T for taste and T for throat. The best place to find out which cigarette is best for you. C-A-M-T-L-S. Camels. They're mild yet full-flavored too. Here's now in session. This is the trial of the state versus Lou Costello. The state will now attempt to prove that Lou Costello is guilty. And I think we can do it, too. You know, Abbot, I don't like the looks of this place. Quiet, Costello. Here comes the judge. He's a tall, bald-headed man. What is this? The court of missing hairs? Are you in the court, Hardin? Then why are those 12 guys sitting over there at the counter? Those 12 men are the jury. 11 men and a foreman. We already got three guys. What are the three guys? He said there was 11 men and four men besides. That's 15 men. No, no, young man. There's only 12. 11 men with a foreman makes 12. 11 and four is 12? Four is 15, but the foreman is just one man. Sometimes the jury has 12 jurymen. The foreman, too? Certainly. Let me smell your breath. All my ears at the bar.  You proceed with the case. Lou Costello, you are charged with resisting an officer. You are charged with driving the wrong way on a one-way street. You are charged with going 60 miles an hour on a 25-mile zone, endangering the lives of pedestrians, and going through two red lights. What have you got to say? None of us is perfect.  Your Honor, I resent that. You mean you deny it? No, I just resent it. Silence, Costello. Officer Hulahan, present the evidence. What is she like? Tell us your story, madam. Well, my name is Jennifer J. Walker, and I'm a sweater girl.  A big, skinny girl like you? How can you be a sweater girl? I don't wear them. I knit them. This next line, I object. Wait a minute. Why do you object? She's getting bigger laughs than I am. Young lady, please tell the court where you were when this young man's car struck you. I was on my way home from work. I was hustling to catch the bus. Where did he strike you? Between a hustle and a bust. This is a farce. But since this is your first offense, Mr. Costello, I'm willing to let you go with a warning and a suspended sentence. Thank you, Judge. I object. You can't dismiss this case without a fair trial. Yes, I demand a fair trial. Haven't heard your side of the case yet. Yeah, don't. We're going to fight this thing through if we have to drag you through the supreme court. Abbott, you're loading the tiddlies again. Quiet, Costello. We're going to present our character witness. You can't do that. You mean you have no witness? I have no character. Never mind that, Costello. I've dug up a witness for you. It's your own little brother. Not little Sebastian. Yes. No, not him. Yes. He is a character. Yes. Come here, Sebastian. You realize it's a serious trial where your brother's very life might be at stake. I'm ashamed of you, bitterly ashamed. Sebastian, why do you do these things? Take the witness stand. I don't want to take the stand. Young man, do as you're told. Sit down in front. Now, young man, what is your name? I said, what is your name? Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth? Or would you rather be a mule? Let me handle the boy. Look, Sebastian, do you know what will happen to you if you don't tell the truth? Yes, Uncle Bud. I won't go to heaven. And what happens if you do tell the truth? My brother goes to jail. No, no, no, no, Sebastian. I want you to tell the judge what a wonderful man your brother, Louis, is. I ain't talking till I get my 50 cents. Oh, yes, you will. Even your little brother refuses to testify in your defense. Ah, don't pay any attention to my little brother, judge. I hate to say this, but he isn't all there. Are you sure? I should be. I'm playing both parts. Evidence in this case and your lack of defense. It is my painful duty to sentence you to 90 days at hard labor. Court adjourned. Well, old pal, see what I did for you? That's a real pal. This guy wasn't going to give you anything, but I fought for you. I got you 90 days, didn't I? You certainly did. But you could have fought a little harder and got me to chair. You want to go back? No, no. Come here, Sebastian. Come here to your brother.  I can take it. Thanks to the Yanks of the Week, tonight we salute lines of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where of the bronze star for bravely inaction in the initial landing on Saipan. In your honor, Lieutenant Hines, the makers of camels are sending to our fighters overseas 400,000 camel cigarettes. Each of the three camel radio shows honors the Yanks of the Week by sending free 400,000 camel cigarettes overseas. A total of more than a million camel sent free each week. In this country, the camel caravans traveling from camp to camp have thanked audiences of more than 4 million Yanks with free shows and free camels. Camel broadcasts to go out to the United States three times a week, a short wave to our men overseas and to South America. Listen tomorrow to Jimmy Duranty and Gary Moore, Monday to Bob Hawking, thanks to the Yanks, and next Thursday to Abbott and Costello. And now, a few final words from Bud Abbott and Luke Costello. Thanks, Ken. Well, Costello, now that you've got yourself out of jail, let's go home. Not now. I gotta get my uncle out of jail. What's he in for? Oh, it was a frame-up, that little sub-assion. He framed my uncle up. What do you mean? They accused him of stealing a tub of butter. A tub of butter? I gotta get him out right away. What's the hurry? We're all out of butter again. Ah, stop. Good night, folks. Good night, everybody. Good night, folks. Good night, everybody. Good to see you next week for another great Abbott and Costello show. And remember, try camels on your throat and your taste. See for yourself how camels' mildness, coolness, and flavor click with you. You don't do your pipe smoking on a desert island. There are folks around you when you smoke. And you really ought to think of them as well as yourself when you pick a pipe tobacco.  That swell aged in the wood aroma is as welcome to people around you as it is to you. And that flavor, mild, mellow, yet rich and full-bodied. Because Prince Albert is no bite treated. And it's crimped cut to pack firmly, draw smoothly, and burn evenly right down to the bottom of the bowl. You'll find just about 50 pipe folds in one red two-ounce Prince Albert package. A thrifty-fifty. Start PA today. The Abbott and Costello show for camel cigarettes was directed by Dick Mack. And this is Ken Niles, wishing you a pleasant good night from Hollywood. This is the National...
