Love him so, when he flips that dough, he's pizza boy USA. What is up, you guys? Welcome back to another one of you in the digital channel. I am Gold Pony. I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we are in the 2020 BMW X3M. Courtesy of Apple BMW in your PA. Always excited to drive any M car, including this X3 SUV. So needless to say, I am pretty darn hyped to be in this one today. And as always, I will be going over everything about this one, testing everything out that I possibly can on the X3M. So what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so MSRP for the 2020 X3M will start at $69,900. Did one also mention there is an X3M competition package that goes for $76,900 if you wanted to go that route. But regardless, power setup is going to come from a 3-liter twin power turbocharged inline 6-cylinder. Definitely beefed up from the typical engine setup that you'll find on the X3 and the X5. This one is the M performance tuned one. So this one, therefore, is going to put out 473 horsepower at 5,600 RPM, 442 pound-feet of torque available at 2,600 RPM. Power sent to all wheels through BMW's XDrive all-wheel drive system. By the way, this all-wheel drive configuration in the X3M is actually sourced from the M5. In case you guys were curious there, this is pretty darn cool. Power sent to the ground through an 8-speed M Sport automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know, of course, we will be testing out in a little bit here. But with launch control, because I know everybody is wondering, 0 to 60 time comes in in approximately 4.1 seconds. That's crazy for an SUV. Top speed, 155 miles per hour with MPG numbers coming in at 14 in the city, 19 on the highway, of course, taking premium on lit-of-fuel. But so if you did want a little extra horsepower, the X3M competition package will do that for you. Same engine set up, tuned a bit differently, putting out 503 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 442 pound-feet of torque available at 2,600 RPM, sent to all four wheels once again through an 8-speed automatic, 0 to 60 time, 4 seconds flat, 10th of a second, quicker to 60 if you were to go with the competition. MPG numbers, 14 city, 19 highway. And so before we do that paddle shifter tester, acceleration test on the X3M did want to mention the drive modes. And by the way, if you guys are wondering, looking at the screen right now, what those bright red little shifter paddle looking things on the steering wheel are, those are the drive mode buttons. You can preset them, actually. That's what the one and the two is there for. You can make one your sporty driving mode, one your comfort driving mode, let's say, and you really can adjust just about everything. All those buttons are located just to the left of the shifter, whether it be steering sensitivity, throttle response, shift points, suspension settings, and there is actually a button to adjust the exhaust sound as well. So I'm going to actually leave it on the loud exhaust mode because that is my style. I have a super loud Mustang, so that's just what I'm going to do. And we will get to the exhaust clip a little later in the video, don't worry about that. But so having said all that, there is actually a manual shift mode. All I need to do is simply slide the shifter to the right. Now I'm in fourth gear. The gauge setup is telling me is not shifting for me. That's pretty darn cold. So my shift before I get too high there. Having said that now, what I want to do is test out the paddle shifters. We'll see how quickly they react for us and I'm sure we're going to get some nice engine sounds out of that too. So what do you guys say? Let's do that. And then we'll do the acceleration test on this one. Did I mention you can actually adjust how quickly the X3M shifts by using the buttons on the shifter there. But having said that, let's put it in first gear. We'll do it together, acceleration and paddle shifters. And here we go. Oh my gosh.  Oh my gosh. I feel like that gives you an ab workout.  Oh my goodness. That was fun. And there was no slippage whatsoever of course with an all wheel drive system. You're not going to get that. You definitely are going to scare your friends and family if you hit the gas like that with them in this SUV. That was absolutely freaking wonderful. I like this. But anyways, as always to go along with that acceleration braking is equally important. So as expected, you will find M compound four wheel ventilated disc brakes. As far as sizing goes up front, they're going to come in at 15.6 inch ventilated front discs. In the back, 14.6 inch ventilated rear discs. As far as that 15.6 inch goes, I have a Mustang GT. My brakes are 15 inches even. So these are quite beefy brakes, especially considering this is an SUV. So that is absolutely wonderful. I will say that. And of course with that cross drilled rotors, blue painted cowpers, as far as the braking feel goes, it's absolutely brilliant. There's no brake pedal delay whatsoever in this thing. So instantly brings you to a stop in the X3M. You've got to love that. Touching on suspension and handling up front, you're going to get an independent strut type front suspension in the back, independent multi link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars. It's all pretty standard for the most part. But X3M also gives you an adaptive M suspension. So any adaptive damping suspension, the way it works, it's going to give you the best of both worlds. It's going to tighten up the suspension during heavy cornering, but it is also going to monitor each shock so we're individually giving you better ride quality as well. So again, best of both worlds. That's definitely a feature you want on any performance car, including the X3M here. So absolutely love that. And so we're touching on as far as ride quality goes, definitely smoother than my Mustang. We'll say that. Certainly no issues with that. This is a luxury BMW. It's pretty much as expected. We'll say it doesn't feel quite as smooth as the X7 I just drove or an X5 or something like that. But it is a performance car. And again, you can actually adjust the suspension settings using the button to the left of the shifter. I just have it on the super sportiest setting right now. But again, you can adjust it if you did want to smooth the ride in the X3M as well. So best of both worlds once again, as far as cabin noise goes, I'm just basically getting the air from the climate control right now. But other than that, not a whole lot of exterior noises coming into the cabin. So another big plus there for you. Touching on visibility, I can see perfectly fine out the back, not as good as the X7 I just recently got done driving. But still, visibility is definitely on point for this particular SUV. So new issues there. Rain-sensing windshield wipers also coming standard on this. That's definitely nice. And I should mention, I am looking at a head-up display projecting my speed and the speed limit up on my windshield right now. That is actually gonna come with the executive package that goes for $3,900. The executive package is also going to include, in addition to that, a panoramic moonroof rear window sunshades, gesture control, wireless charging heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, and parking assistant plus. And I'll get more into all of that as I go on in the video, but definitely a very inclusive package, especially for the price you're paying there. Quite a lot included in that one. So that's a good thing. But I think as far as driving dynamics go overall, the best part about the X3 M is the steering feel is so heavy. I absolutely love it. And I actually changed that before I started driving this one too. I put it on the heaviest weighted setting. And again, that button's still located just to the left of the shifter. But in addition to that, you got the 10 and two grips, which are super thick. And BMW is known for that, especially in their M cars. So it gives you a better feeling of being in control of the car. And the power side bolsters on the seat, they hug you in place. So if you did want to take the turns a little heavier in this thing, you can do that because you got the power side bolsters kind of hugging you. And again, they're adjustable. So you can move them out or in as needed, depending on your body type really. That's a good thing as well. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this Toronto Red Metallic 2020 BMW X3M. All right, so here she is, you guys. The 2020 BMW X3M, such a beast of a car. Do want to start by looking at the front grille up here. BMW active kidney front grille, will come standard. Of course you got the X3M logo found in the upper corner on the side there. Chrome grille surrounds come with the X3M. That's what you're looking at right now. However, that competition package I was mentioning to you guys that will actually add gloss black grille surround. So it's going to differ slightly depending on which setup that you go with. Either way down below you have some gloss black accents including some nice air curtains directing air around the wheel and tire combination. That's definitely a plus for aerodynamics. Also when it comes to that lighting adaptive LED headlights do come standard. That comes with the automatic feature of course meaning when it starts to get dark out at night those headlights will turn on automatically for you there. So you never have to worry about that. And actually automatic high beams come standard on the X3M as well. Definitely doesn't come standard on every SUV out there. So that's nice too. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the side on this one. Gloss black roof rails come standard regardless of if you go with the X3M competition or not. That's what you're looking at right now. Of course rear privacy glass coming standard across the board as well.  When it comes to the side mirrors they are body color power adjustable side mirrors. They will come heated with LED integrated turn signals. And of course you can't help but notice that little fender accent down there with the M3 badging. It definitely makes it stand out from the other X3 trim levels out there. When it comes to that wheel setup 20 inch double five spoke by color jet black wheels are the standard setup. Of course there are 21 inch wheel designs available and that 21 inch wheel size actually comes standard on the competition package as well. I should mention that but overall definitely a very sleek looking, very good looking SUV and that carries on to that rear spoiler. Let me show you guys up close on that. Rear spoiler definitely does have a very unique design. Definitely looks spoilerier back there and this is an M specific rear spoiler for the X3M of course with an integrated brake light as expected. Just below that rear window wiper. Of course you have the M badging found on the rear lift gate there as well. LED tail lights coming standard on this one and perhaps my very favorite part about the back of course without a doubt dual exhaust outlets with very large quad chrome tips. So I'm gonna go ahead and just put this in the best exhaust mode because again there's a button next to the shifter where you can do that and make it super loud and fun. That is what I'm gonna do and I think you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. All right so now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear lift gate as expected it is a power lift gate. There is a button on the key fob that's one way where you can simply lift up underneath on the hatch itself. That's the other way to go about opening it up. Once opened up, cargo capacity is gonna come in at 28.7 cubic feet behind that second row at least. With that second row folded down it bumps it up to 62.7 cubic feet which is a decent amount back there. Didn't want to mention to fold down that second row there's a lever in the cargo area. That's gonna be how you're gonna go about folding the second row down at least. There's some cargo netting back there, LED cargo lighting. You don't always find LEDs in the cargo area so I always like to mention that. Tie down hooks and you have a cargo area cover actually as well so plenty going on in the cargo area. Making our way to the rear leg room that is gonna commit 36.4 inches. So for reference, I'm even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Also for those rear passengers, they will find rear ventilation. There is a rear center armrest with cup holders, 12 volt power outlet.  And this is definitely a plus if you have a newborn or even a toddler. I always like to keep the sun out of my kids eyes. At least when you're at that awkward angle and it's blinding them. So rear window sunshades are definitely a plus especially if you have kids. So that's gonna come with the executive package. Make your way up to the front seats. 14-way power adjustable front seats come standard. That includes four-way power lumbar, memory settings for up to two different drivers and power side bolsters. Again, I mentioned that that is the best function when it comes to the seating at least in my opinion because it really does hold you in place around the turns. And in an SUV like this, that is important. Also another plus here, you have an illuminated M logo found in the headrest. You do have heated front seats and the seats are definitely plenty comfortable. Absolutely no issues with seat comfort. And again, it kind of hugs you in place. I absolutely love that. But now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel is optional but it is available there if you wanted that. And we do happen to have that. Again, the button's located just above the M logo and there is an M logo at the bottom of the steering wheel as well. That's definitely pretty nice. And make your way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your M colors on the side of the key I guess you could say. Then all of your buttons are located on one side being lock, unlock the button to pop the rear hatch. Lock button is gonna be the BMW logo in the middle there in case you were curious there. But it is all keyless entry. So simply just put the key in your pocket, walk up to the X3M. There is a bright red push button start found just to the right of the gauges. So simply put your foot on the brake and press that engine start button there. And just below that is where you're gonna be able to turn on or off the engine shut off function when you come to a stop sign or a red light. It can turn off the engine to save you a little bit of MPGs there. If that gets annoying, just turn that feature off. That's where you're gonna be able to do it. But once started up, there is a 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster that comes standard. It looks very, very nice. It's got the X3M logo found within the tachometer on the right side. Speedometer is on your left along with the digital speedometer within that. I love the digital needles that they put on here. They put little red tips at the end. I think that's pretty cool. Nice little added touch there. Overall, it gives you your basic information like outside temperature, trip A, trip B, different driving modes or suspension settings, whatever that you put it in. So all of that information you can find up there including the speed limit of any given road you're on. If you don't wanna find it on the head up display, it is within the gauges actually as well. Now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. BMW always does an amazing job when it comes to this. Panoramic moonroof comes with the executive package. That's why we have it there today. Anthracite headliner comes standard, dual zone climate control comes standard, universal garage door openers. Also standard for up to three different garage doors. They can be found just underneath of the rear view mirror there. Ambient lighting also comes standard. You can adjust the colors by using the tech display. I'll show you guys how to do that in a second here but plenty of different color options you can check out up there. I do like the M logos found throughout the X3M including just in front of the wireless phone charger another feature I wanted to mention there. So that's pretty cool. Dual cup holders, 12 volt power outlet. You have nice authentic wood trims around the shifter. By the way, this is an M specific shifter. If you were to look at the X3, you're not gonna find this shifter. This is specific to the M, so that's pretty cool. Lecture mechanical parking brake just behind there. And within the center armrest you have a decent amount of storage along with the USB charging port actually as well. I do like the contrast stitching found up in the dash here as well. Again, the authentic wood trim carries on to the doors, not just around the shifter. You have an aluminum trim passenger side glove box opener. A lot of times companies will leave that plastic so that's a nice little accent too. M floor mats, the list continues. So very nice interior quality as pretty much as expected for any BMW. But now let's go ahead and take a look at that tech display. 10 and a quarter inch color touch screen display comes standard and although it is touch screen it is also voice activated. There is a circular dial and buttons and you do have gesture control if you go with the executive package. So we do have that today as well. Bluetooth and audio streaming comes standard Android Auto Apple CarPlay meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the X3M you will find free navigation up on that tech display. There is also factory navigation that goes standard as well whichever you're more familiar with or whichever you like better. Climate control settings, there's weather up there. Ambient lighting, let's get to that part here real quick. That can be found under my vehicle and then vehicle settings, lighting, interior lighting and then you have colors like blue, green, lilac, orange, bronze. I think since we have kind of this Toronto red exterior, we're gonna have to set this to orange you guys because that's gonna look a lot better. Although I will say blue shows up a heck of a lot better in the daytime at least. But yeah, orange is gonna look better anyways at night so I'm gonna leave it there. Also of course you can check out your radio information though and when it comes to the sound system the standard sound system you guys is not the 10 speaker hi-fi sound system that you may be used to in BMWs. For the X3M the standard sound system here is the 16 speaker Harman Kardon sound system that's wonderful. 600 watts, two bass speakers under the front seats, seven tweeters. I think you guys know what we have to do next. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. ["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] Ridiculous amount of bass. That is the first thing I'm gonna say. Wonderful sound system for the X3M really. No complaints from me. Absolutely love that. Last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display though is when you do put the X3M in reverse, you will find a rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so first thing I wanted to mention when it comes to safety, the BMW X3M is an IIHS top safety pick plus. That is the very highest designation given by IHS. That's a wonderful start right there. Front side side carrying airbags do come standard. In the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats. Tire pressure monitoring system come standard front and rear parking sensors. But in addition to that, some of the more exciting or enjoyable standard advanced safety features are going to include pedestrian warning and braking, frontal collision warning, city collision mitigation, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert. It's gonna be the little triangle icons in the side mirrors there. But overall in the end, when it comes to my final thoughts of the X3M, acceleration is absolutely amazing.  Grip and handling are actually great as well and yet practicality is still there. It feels like a sports car. It handles great, it accelerates great and you got the practicality of an SUV. So you could take it to get groceries, you could take it on road trips. It's really the best of both worlds quite honestly. However, because the M performance suspension is gonna be a little stiffer of a ride comparatively speaking to the standard X3 or the X5 as we are kind of in the X5 or even X7 price territory. Nonetheless, this is still very enjoyable and it really only caters to a select buyer that enjoys a nice blend of performance and practicality including that beautiful exhaust note. You gotta love that as well. So overall, me personally, you guys know I am going to love this thing and I do. Definitely a very solid pick and it's an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus so you can have the kids in it too and feel perfectly fine. So anyways, that is about it for this one. You guys, thank you so much for watching. Feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there. If you like, be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're into new car reviews. That is what we do here on this channel after all. Do appreciate you guys watching more than you know and I will see you guys all in the next video. Big old. Rains, sinks, and the, the, uh.


So whenever the discussion of the wealth tax comes up, you can already anticipate CNBC having like oh Wigs worth of meltdowns and they may even invite on a billionaire or two Who will literally cry on national television at the mere thought of the wealth tax? It's not like it has any chance of passing in the near future But just the thought that anyone would want a wealth tax and that any politician would propose this is enough to bring At least one billionaire to tears I'm of course dunking on Leon Kuberman because I think that we should make fun of him for the rest of his pathetic life Having said that though, um, a non-guirardaridus was on CNBC and the host was pressing him to explain Why he would support the wealth tax when it very obviously is nothing more than a war on the wealthy It's a war on the rich. Why would you do this? Why would you penalize a minority in this country target them? When um, there are other ways to accomplish your goal. What a non did here was just Phenomenal you're in favor of Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax In fact, you make the argument that the numbers that she throws out may be too low When others come on this network who've done quite well for themselves and who are quite generous in their own right And say there are just better ways of doing things Why bog down the system with something new if you want to raise more taxes from the wealthy who by the way come on this network All the time and say the wealthy should pay more There are just better ways to do it close loopholes raise the capital gains tax Why a wealth tax which seems to be a war on the wealthy?  No one calls that a war on them it just so happens that very rich people have most of their wealth in things other than one home and a Wealth tax is far from a war the war if anything has been waged Punching down on the middle class and working class and poor people of this country for a generation The idea that a wealth tax is is an act of hostility or is an act of vengeance when it's in fact An act of sound economic policy is laughable and I'll explain There's an economic rationale for it Which is that it would be great to have that money lying around to actually reinvest in the commons Which has been defanged defunded and delegitimize in this country in child care universal child care in health care in Education things like that, but there's a second reason Scott, which is There is actually and I know this is CNBC But even without the funding issue There is actually an argument to be made that there is a certain level of absolute wealth Beyond which people are simply just by breathing too powerful to exist in a Democracy that still thinks it's a democracy because simply by acting spending that money They are exerting power that is inconsistent with one person one vote I think Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax is a great idea Bernie Sanders had a great proposal for a short-term pandemic one a more general I know you think it's a great idea all of them are too small We need an erosive well tax that would shrink those fortunes and put some eros back in the economy So I don't have much to add because I think that a non did a phenomenal job here But I do have a couple more points that I want to put in to supplement his argument first of all he talks about how look I bring on billionaires on my program and They all tell me the same thing that they think that they're paying, you know too low of taxes They want their taxes to be increased So why would you pursue this wealth tax that just seems like overly confiscatory and just punitive?  Why is it that in the event we were to pass more taxes on you?  I Mean CNBC is a network by and for elites But even they have to feel bad with how disingenuous they are and it's funny like when they actually talk to someone who knows his shit They have no response So if it is the case that we accept that the wealth tax is a war on the wealthy War on the rich then why don't we call property taxes the same thing? Why is it that all of a sudden we're changing the language that we use when it comes to wealth owned by billionaires?   I hear you but Anand also makes the point that when we are in a capitalist system to have wealth You have power if you have that much wealth There's a reason why policy outcomes reflect Elites and special interests and not working-class Americans This is according to a 2014 Princeton University study by doctors guns and page It's because they have money to buy politicians lobby the government get what they want where as working Americans They can't do that. So in a capitalist society wealth equals power So it's not just that they have too much wealth and the distribution needs to change It's that that much wealth is not conducive to a healthy Democracy and Anand makes the point that you know if we take the money that these elites have and don't need with this Wealth tax we could then redistribute those resources to fund better public programs Except you don't even have to do that like modern monetary theorists would argue that you don't even have to tax the rich in Order to you know fund social safety net programs But I would argue that you can make that case if you think it's more persuasive and you're gonna like convince more people But the key issue here is that wealth equals power in a capitalist society and to be a billionaire Means that you have an inordinate amount of power It's not just one person one vote any longer like this has broader implications on democracy If you truly care about democracy, then you can't also simultaneously support the existence of billionaires because billionaires have more power than the working class and normal Americans and The power level must be equal if you truly want a democratic society. So that's all I'll say I'll leave that there I think that we should all save this clip from Anand because he showed us exactly what we have to say To dispute the wealth tax. It's not like arguing against it is hard Anyway, because like they don't really have an argument It's just hey, you're being mean to the rich stop discriminating and being begin it against rich people But like this really it like it takes it to the next level like Anand here it shows How foolish their argument against the wealth tax really is and it's just it's brilliant


Hi, I'm Nate the House Whisperer, and I wanted to show you what electric usage looked like and how things operated during the cold snap that was just past Christmas Eve of 2022. So I wanted to take a look at that for three different houses we have that run on heat pumps. So we're going to look at the game house, which was where I'm sitting now. The Clue stuff in the background, this is one of our Airbnbs in Oak Hill, West Virginia. And then we'll look at the Candy House, or the Candy Cottage, which is next door. This is 800 square feet here. The Candy Cottage is about 700, so they're little baby houses. They both have one and a half ton dyke and fits. And then we will look at our house, which is about 15 minutes from here and has a two slash three ton Bosch heat pump and then a train air handler. So that's what we're going to look at. So here is the game house and here is the total usage for December of 2022, if you see at the bottom here. So it used about 1200 kilowatt hours, 333 for the heat pump, 293 for the A-HU. This is air handler unit or this is the fan, the indoor unit, but this has the resistance electric in it. So it will show as usage when it's resistance, because the normal amounts of fan. So this is 293, keep an eye here, and I'll switch back to November. And this is Emporia, by the way. This is an Emporia view. I'll put a link below, because this is how you figure out what to be afraid of and what not to be afraid of. So normally the air handler is 48 kilowatt hours here for a month over 30 days. So one and a half per day, give or take, and so that is 25 cents a day to have clean air because it's constantly running at low speed and running the air through the filter. You're also mixing it through the house. And in my case, I also have outdoor ducts coming in. So it's pulling in a little bit of outdoor air at the same time. Take a look at October as well, just so you can get an idea of what this looks like. Where is air handler? It's way down here, 17. So not very much. So the 48 was because it was doing enough heating to be running above your base low fan speed, which is where I normally have it set. And so this is 18 kilowatt hours for October, as opposed to 48 for November. So just so you get a comparison. And then moving back to December, we're at 300. So you figure it's 50. So we use like 250 kilowatt hours of resistance, something like that. So minus the 48 or whatever. So somewhere in that ballpark. All this stuff, you can at least get a general idea of where it is. And if it's 240 versus 270 kilowatt hours, who cares? It just, it doesn't matter. We're arguing over a couple of bucks. It's not a big deal. So let's go back and take a look at hourly for this house. And then I'm going to click down here graphs. And so you can see hour by hour, what's going on. And so the resistance has been running a little bit here. So like the lower hours, so let's see that hour there, about one kilowatt hour per hour. That's actually still on the high side. Oh, I somehow got on mountain escape. How did I do that? Do, looking at the wrong house, mountain escape is our house. So here's the, the heat pump will come at it this way. So we'll look at the heat pump and I need to scroll back quite a bit. And so here we are Wednesday, 12 21. And so you can see in this case, this is where I screwed up to a game house heat pump. It went below 15 degrees, which is where the die can fit is set up to stock, turn the heat pump off and go to resistance. So note that it went to almost no usage at 7 AM. So overnight, Thursday, the 22nd into Friday, the 23rd, the temperature dropped.  So and I realized it, but it was, it was basically Christmas Eve. So I realized this at night, this night on Friday. And then I called the friends and he came over and made adjustments to the thermostat. But this section here was handled entirely by resistance. I don't have a big one on this house. I have five KW, which is one of the smallest heat strips you can get. And then you can see the heat pump usage went up. But it is odd. It didn't go up enough in this period. It's a one and a half ton. So it should be able to use 1.5 kilowatt hours per hour. And note that oftentimes it wasn't like, I don't know exactly what happened here, something happened here. But it was using less than I was expecting and running resistance. So I've got some sort of a setting that I need to figure out what's going on. I made some changes yesterday. We'll see if it works. The curses you don't really know until it gets really cold again, which this is why it's difficult to learn new equipment because you don't know what settings do what. And that's really tricky. So you have to watch the system quite a bit or better yet be in the house like I am. We like just coming here sometimes when the units aren't rented and just spending time here. So we're living next door for a week at the candy cottage. And I'm coming over here to do some work and videos and things like that. So every day or every hour here is one and a half kilowatt hours or so. So that is what the heat pump was doing through there. And it stayed cold through Christmas basically. And then you can see it got warm just after Christmas and see that the usage per hour dropped to under 0.4. So not very much. And the max that this can pull is about one and a half kilowatt hours per hour somewhere in that range. Okay. So let's go look at the resistance for this period. Let's see. Aircraft circuits, game house, A-Hue. Zoom back so looking at the bottom we're in December back to January back to February. Now basically every thousand watts or every KW it's a kilowatt hour. So if you're pulling one kilowatt which is a thousand watts and you pull it for an hour you just pulled one kilowatt hour. This is a 5KW backup and it's oftentimes it's like a hair more like it pulls like 5100 watts or 5200 watts. It's not exactly 5,000. And actually the other 100 or 200 is going to be the fan while the fan is running with this on. So you can see remember how it showed where the heat pump just stopped working. So you can see the air handler is using almost no power over here. So we're using .04 of a kilowatt hour per hour for the fan and then all of a sudden boom we're using four and five kilowatt hours per hour. So this is the resistance hitting and it almost kept up. It got pretty cold here. So design temperature here is 11 degrees which means 99% of the year we are above 11. We got down to just below zero here and so this is beyond design. So technically the temperature is allowed to slide. It's easy enough to usually have a little extra resistance to prevent that from happening. But I needed the resistance and the heat pump to be able to hold temperature and I only had resistance in this case. So 5KW works out to about 17,000 BTUs. The heat pump is 18,000 BTUs on this. So you can see I was matching that up in doing that. So there was a bunch of electricity used right in this period. So actually let's look at by day and yeah here we are 88KW that day and then more like 75 the day after. So you can see there's been a little bit of resistance getting hit but not a whole heck of a lot. Those were the bad days because it was cold like yesterday. It wasn't that cold but if you ask for a big temperature difference and it's kind of cold oftentimes you'll engage resistance and it'll do it. So you use 14KW hours yesterday. So this is what that looks like.  It just was. And in fact I can go back and we can look at by day and you can click this up and this is challenging to do. This is something that would be better to have more of a slider but let's see I haven't tried. Oh yeah this works. Okay great. This is a new feature. I wasn't here last time I played with this. So December 24th Christmas Eve. So this is our house in Ohio the River House it's still on resistance. I just bought a heat pump for it but we got to save the money to have it installed. But the mountain escape this is our house used 55KW hours but we were gone and I had it set to 60 degrees so it wasn't working that hard. And it also has a larger heat pump. The game house used a bunch of juice that day 125KW hours. Now this isn't actually totally obscene. One of my clients bought the five stage carrier heat pump which shuts the heat pump off below two and we spent a while below two and it doesn't turn it back on until you get to seven. So he ran a couple days. So he had one day where he used 250KW hours. So that was an expensive day. That cost 35 bucks, 40 bucks to heat the house that day. But that's one day out of 365 days. So it's going to happen. There's going to be a few days that are ugly. It just is. It doesn't matter what fuel you're using it's going to be expensive. But doesn't help that was resistance but I let him know what the option was and then I asked him so did you regret buying the cheaper one because the next step up was like two grand more. I was like nah it's fine. He just wanted to complain and complain to me. Pretty normal. We have a fun relationship. So the candy house used 79 this day. The day before it's going to be quite a bit less. Let's go to the 23rd. So see the candy house only used 41 this day and I can put this down and the heat pump used 21 where the game house, the heat pump only used four because it got cold and shut off the heat pump. And so it ran a ton of resistance 88 kilowatt hours of resistance. So that's what happened that day with it. Now let's go look at the candy house and we'll look at the air handler and look at the air handler normally doesn't use all that much. So 25 or 30 kilowatt hours per month. And this is pretty amazing because remember the way that I have this set up these houses both have what we call bad ass HVAC well not quite they don't have reheat dehumidification. I have little dehumidifiers is extra. But these run the air handler all the time so you get continuous mixing. So you're stirring the house and it helps reduce temperature variations between rooms. You're filtering the air because you're constantly running that air through a very good filter. So you're not going to dust in the garbage out. And then I have on both of these houses there are two fresh air ducts. So one is open basically all the time and the other one is only open when the air quality monitor notices that the VOCs get too high of all to organic compounds. So for 25 or 30 kilowatt hours per month or like five bucks a month you get a cleaner healthier home. So to me that's pretty much no brainer I mean literally the price of a cup of coffee it's just not a big deal. So 139 kilowatt hours it used of resistance last month and this month we have stayed out of resistance at the candy house for the most part I saw a little bit of it yesterday. Again the way to look at resistances it's like an afterburner in a jet. So your main engine the heat pump is the one that's doing most of the work but every so often you want to go faster you need more power and that's where the afterburner or the resistance comes in underneath and bumps it up unless you screw up the commissioning which is what I did because I've never used these units before and like typical guy I didn't read the freaking manual. So I learned this way I like looking through the thermostat to try and understand what's going on and I didn't know you had to add the equipment of the resistance backup. I'm used to playing with carrier where when you put it in it sees everything that's there and it lets you set everything up. So it's just a difference in equipment it's considerably less expensive for this equipment which is why I wanted to try it plus they had a one and a half ton size and I knew one and a half was about what these houses were going to need so sorry for the rambling but there's there's a lot of like little details hiding underneath here so the air handler ended up using 139 kilowatt hours minus 25 or so for the fan so 115 something like that kilowatt hours of resistance we use last month but it the resistance was not turned on I screwed that up and the candy house slid down to 52 degrees in that cold period but I could tell that it was not going to freeze so I waited until the next day to send my friend over to make the changes. Okay so let's then check the heat pump at the candy house so it used a decent chunk last month but 269 kilowatt hours that is for the whole month to keep the house warm oh that's that's November here too so that's really not that bad this is 35 bucks and you know dollar a day to keep the house warm now it was pretty mild that month December this is what I want to look at 421 so December was relatively mild but then we had that snap at the end and then so far what are we we're almost halfway through January and we're at 84 kilowatt hours of resistance or of heat pump usage so this is what we're looking at just showing you what we got and hour by hour for the candy house heat pump that's interesting it was warm enough it just didn't hardly run get back in here so this heat pump again maxes at 1.5 1.5 tons it's basically a thousand watts per ton so 1.5 ton is going to max somewhere around 1500 watts I've seen these pull 1800 because they can run the compressor extra fast to pull more and they're supposed to have full output to 5 degrees Fahrenheit which is another reason I chose them and let's see where are we let's get back into so this is where it got cold and this hour here where it didn't use anything I'm pretty sure we were playing with settings so the temperature was falling in the house we were playing with settings between 11 12 maybe 12 and 1 this day or am I looking at the wrong day no sorry it was Christmas Eve I think that we actually played with it but in any case you can see the heat pump getting up to about 1.5 and then it wasn't running flat out here for some reason I don't really understand why although this might be I thought that it had changed it but I made a dumb screw up on this when you have a 220 device you have you only clamp one of the sides of the the circuit but if it shares in neutral the pole on them is identical so you take whatever the pole is from one of the the circuits and you double it and that's what you get so you can make your your CT clamps go further you don't need to have two clamps on a 220 device you only need to have one and then multiply times two except for I didn't multiply it times two I left it at one and I was wondering why it was only pulling half the power the candy house next door so this may actually be inaccurate I thought that it it went back and doubled stuff but I'm not entirely sure so because like over here it looks like it is so we're getting to one and a half kilowatt hours per hour which is about as much as it can pull but then it's interesting like it goes back and forth a little bit so this might have been hitting a bunch of defrost cycles something like that but anyway you can look at this and get an idea of what's going on so then lastly let's take a look at our house which again was set at 60 degrees and what do I have it set to month here so let's go to graphs so last month used 1227 kilowatt hours let's just chart the heat pump so far halfway into the month we've used 250 kilowatt hours so 40 bucks thus far so if we stay there we're on pace for about 80 bucks a month come on honey there we are last month use 771 kilowatt hours so last year you can see this one that was highs from November December this is January January may be bad but man it's been mild again so I don't know maybe February will be bad and it's still we still have 20 days left in the month so it may get cold and drive the usage up quite a bit that's anybody's ballgame but the most that it used last year was 1150 kilowatt hours which isn't that bad that's 150 bucks 160 bucks something like that for the heaviest heat month of the year not a big deal and I'll look at resistance as well the air handler see it's way down here so that month it used so there was 1150 for the the heat pump and it used 243 for the air handler so the majority of that's going to be resistance this was the only month that it really did much resistance a little bit the next month but not much and it got into a little bit of resistance in November there was a cold snap around Thanksgiving this year as well we were gone but there was a cold snap and then again in December so there's a little bit this is resistance doing what supposed to do just kind of picking up underneath on the bottom as needed and it really hasn't used much so the air handler at that house so looking at the normal months 30 kilowatt hours kilowatt hour per day to have clean fresh air doesn't suck so again five bucks a month and that's pretty consistent that of what we see you know it might be ten bucks a month maybe but it's it's somewhere between five and ten for basically all of our clients I don't think I've seen an exception and that is you need to have a system where the the fan is running relatively low speed and the ductwork can handle the air flow but like in this house this is a double line it's a manufactured home and I didn't change the ductwork I thought that I would and I saw how much power the air handler was pulling and it's just not that much and I'm like you know what it's fine we're just gonna run with it so that's what we've done I'm not worried about it spend the money where the money matters and considering we have renovated three houses in a camper in a little over a year we've needed the money elsewhere so that's what's going on but this gives you an idea of what's going on you know here's the the energy use the Christmas Eve Eve if you will and then Christmas Eve now it was cold I'm trying to thank for I think it was Monday so Christmas was Saturday so you can see the usages is coming down here we don't have anything that's over a hundred at all Christmas day day after Christmas we're still halfway reasonable now one thing to note I've noticed this consistently the day after a cold snap all the building materials are cold so the house still uses a bunch of energy to warm everything back up that's pretty common even with the houses with a good shell you still have to warm the building materials back up and then two days after Christmas you can see energy use is dropping down to 50 or less basically I got 53 but things are down quite a bit considering the game house was 125 on the cold snap day so just gives you an idea of what's going on maybe this is too much to give all at once but hey you're not paying for this I just wanted to go over these couple of houses and see what the Christmas cold snap look like so hope you found this interesting and helpful and if you don't have an Emporia and you're curious about any of this if you're even somewhat handy it's definitely an install you can do yourself and if you're worried about it then call an electrician but it not that long ago this monitoring cost a thousand dollars to do like five years ago the products were grand to have the same capabilities now this is a hundred and sixty bucks and if you use the link below you get five percent off so it's an affiliate link so I hope this is helpful and I'll see you on the next one bye bye


Let's present Hollywood Radio Theatre brings you William Bendick, Justin Poster, and Lloyd Norlum in Rattle Canal Diary with Richard Jacob. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Fifty years from today, an old man slowly walks down Main Street. All his life, he's been justly proud that he was one of the famous few. But as he walked, his neighbors point him out to the stranger in town. That man was at Guadalcanal, they say, and perhaps they add, I wonder what it was really like. Right now, that old man of the future is a youngster with a confidence set to his shoulders and a hint of a swagger in his walk, and rightly so, because he is a United States Marine, a Marine who helped to turn the great retreat in the Pacific into a great attack. A Marine who made American history. But behind the confident shoulders and the slight swagger, lingers the memory of other Marines who rest forever in the green jungles of Guadalcanal. The war correspondent, Richard Turgaskis, wrote the story in Guadalcanal just as he saw it happen. From that book, 20th Century Fox made one of the really great motion pictures of the war. And tonight we bring it to you with the same stars you saw on the screen. Preston Foster, William Bendick and Lloyd Nolan. They happen to be three of Hollywood's busiest citizens. Lloyd Nolan is just back from a bond tour. Bill Bendick is currently adding radio laurels to his screen honors, with a weekly show called The Life of Riley. And Preston Foster runs a 600 acre ranch, in addition to a full picture schedule. Most of us have seen pictures of Guadalcanal in the newspapers and magazines. Pictures of the wreckage of war in the midst of choking jungle, with perhaps here and there a lonely coconut palm still standing above the debris. Strangely enough, that lonely palm tree has a very direct connection with Lux Flake. You see before the war, there were rather large coconut plantations on the island. And from these and many others scattered over the globe, came raw materials that were used in making our products. So the next time you pour some Lux Flakes into a dish pan, you might remember that a lot of people in places all around the world are helping to wash your dishes. Turning from dishes to drama, we raise the curtain on the first act of Guadalcanal, starring William Bendick as Taxi, Preston Foster as Father Donnelly, and Lloyd Nolan as Hook, with Richard Jacob as Chicken. They were all in school a dozen or so years ago. They were taught geography from books and math, and many forgot the lesson. Now they are Marines. Again, they're learning geography, but it is taught with fire and blood and steel. And this time, no one will ever forget. Let's suppose it's February 1942 instead of 44. Only two years ago, and suppose someone asked the question, What is Guadalcanal? Now the answers would run something like this. Huh? Guadalcanal? Never heard of that place. How about you? Oh, sure, Guadalcanal. That's in South America. They send us bananas.  Yeah, it's a canal, like a Panama in a Suez Canal. I think it's in Spain. And you, Mr. DeMille, in February 1942, how would you have answered the question? Well, the chances are I'd have run blushing to the nearest in Cypherpedia. Yes, few people knew much about Guadalcanal. Among those few were these officers and the Marines. Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon Islands lying in the South Pacific. About 6,000 miles from the United States, 3,340 miles from Japan, 1,100 miles northeast of Australia. It's adjacent to several other islands, Sabo, Bougainville, Toulage. Guadalcanal itself is 90 miles long, 30 miles wide. Mountainous and heavily forested. On it are a few copra or coconut plantations. Guadalcanal recently has assumed tremendous strategic importance following its occupation by Japanese troops, who are now using it as a base of supplies in the site of an airfield. This island must be taken from the enemy at any cost, and at the earliest possible moment. The earliest possible moment for six months and coming. Then in August 1942, three transports loaded with Marines plow through the padded waters of the South Pacific. And one of the ships is a chaplain. His name is... Donnelly, William Donnelly. Yes, I'm a chaplain. I'm not a fighter, I carry no weapons. But there's a place for me in this war. I'll find it sooner or later, and then do what I can. They'll need help. No one knows where these ships are going, not even a colonel. But it's very pleasant in the beautiful white sunshine of the signal bridge. We watch the blue sea slip by. Colonel Grayson and the other officers, like Captain Davis and Captain Cross, are relaxing. As contented as if they were on their front forces back home. What a way to travel the war, Colonel. Just wish we had the funnies. I sure like to know if Mammy Yorkham ever got the termites out of the turnip patch. The enlisted men are below, on the port deck. As usual, the favorite occupation is shooting the breeze, exchanging scuttled butt. Boy, I'd sure like to be back home right now, selling me a boat on Chesapeake Bay. If I was home, I wouldn't be on no boat. Every field, that's for me. Watching them beautiful bums. Yeah, bums is right. Just leading the league, Sergeant Malone. Just leading the league. Oh, sure, that league. You've got me doughed, it says the Yankees will take the bums in a series. I look taxi, the dodgers ain't even in the world series yet. And what good is dough gonna do you where you're going? How do you know where we're going? Ah, pipe down. Besides, I don't care if I never see any more dough again in my life. Of course, you guys know I'm talking about confederates, though. Hey, yeah, chicken. Ain't that day over there a war correspondent or something? Yeah, that's him. Hey, you? Are you living next? I was about putting my name in the paper. The funny paper. Sure, son. What name is it? Johnny Anderson. You can call him chicken on account of he's just sprouting his pin feathers. Boy, well, a certain party, I know get a kick out of that. Oh, you're on that certain party again.  Yeah, we'll listen, you guys. Me and a certain party. Look, pipe down, will ya pipe down. Yes, just like a pleasure cruise. At night, we're out on deck again. The boy's singing. It's funny in a way. You never hear them singing war songs or boogie woogie or that fast hitterbug stuff. It's always the old familiar songs, slow and sentimental and corny. And then you remember how young they are. Dear mom, we are still somewhere on the Pacific Ocean. And I do not know, mom.  Oh, sure, why not? Come down, huh? Yeah. She's a real hunk of women. And she don't give me no argument either. She don't, huh? I know a thing like that once. But so did a lot of other guys. Well, see you later, chicken. I'm going back on deck. See ya, sir. Hey, thank you. Yeah? Hot ain't it? Yeah. How about you guys like a nice tall glass of ice cold beer? Beer. Strictly a middle class beverage. The last time I was home in Brooklyn, we was having cocktails. My old lady brought them in. I'd take one taste and boy, what a kick. You know what she did, my old lady? Now what? She took them out and put in another slug of gin.  Yeah, well, time to turn in, guys. Yeah. Good night, Huck, Saxon. OK, boys, come on, come on. Better knock off Skylock and hit the sack. Lights out, 10 minutes. See you below, Sodge. Yeah, but I get these kids to bed. Oh, good night, Huck. Say, do you know yet what we're up to? Not the same old thing, Seuss. Manuva's going, I'll turn in. Manuva's? I'm getting pretty tired of this whole business. Yeah, well, one of these days you're going to run into the real thing. Well, still the best. Good night, Huck. Good night, partner. Another lazy day has ended. As uneventful as all our days, it's been for more than a week now. The only difference is that we're a few hundred miles closer to whatever we're heading for. At dawn the next morning, we learn the answer. Up on the bridge, I see Colonel Grayson, Captain Cross, and Captain Daivus. They're looking for binoculars of something big beyond the mist. Their men are on the deck below. And what they see is something they have never seen before. Look at it. Just look at it. What's going on, you boys? Look, Father, look. There's a thousand of transport cruises destroyed. Yeah, and over there, you see, plane carrying. I knew something was up. I knew it, so we're out of maneuvers, huh? Well, if he only knew where he was going. Wherever it is, chicken, it looks like we mean business. Boy, I never seen so many ships before. That is, outside the Brooklyn Navy yard. Hey, something's heading this way. You see that launch? Yes, with a civilian. Maybe once they lift. How about me swapping places with him, Huck? And you wouldn't miss this for a week's pain, you know it. Well, gentlemen, at last I have the news for which we've all been waiting. We're going to attack the Japanese strongholds on Guadalcanal and Toulagi and the Solomon Islands. You have a question already, Captain Cross? Yes, if I may. The question is, when? Well, it may be tomorrow or the next day or the day after that. If we choose, we can site Guadalcanal within 18 hours. But whether we do or not depends upon the strength of the enemy's defenses. Captain Davis? I was wondering, sir, if this task force is going to remain with us. No, I doubt it. The Navy and Coast Guard will lay down the barrage and remain offshore until we've established a beachhead. The carriers will give us what reconnaissance they can. A bee company, that's you, Captain Cross. We'll take the left half of the beachhead. A company, Captain Davis, the right. Our chief objective is an airfield which the enemy has almost completed. Now I know you're all wondering about this gentleman here, whom the Navy just brought aboard. He's Mr. Weatherby. He's supervised a copter of plantation on Guadalcanal. And he can give us an idea of what it's like. And Mr. Weatherby, please. Well, gentlemen, after crossing the beach here, you'll have to penetrate a field of grass, as you can see on this map. Grass down easier than pelt boxes? Yes, but it's four to six feet high. Good stuff for the Japs to hide it. Now, two rivers board of this section you're particularly interested in. At the north, of course, is the beach. And at the south, the airfield. And like a square? Exactly, Colonel. I'm not a soldier, but my guess is that your toughest problem is crossing the beach. And getting your men under the cover of the palm trees as quickly as possible. As it grows over these trees, just beyond the grass. Yes, we're going to lose men. But remember this, don't stop to help the wounded. The corpsman will take care of them. You have to cover the men who'll be landing behind you. Is that clear, gentlemen? Yes, sir. Follow him on the subject, Captain Davis. Aye, aye, sir. Oppose to following orders. Aye, sir. An XE to general order number three, burial. Graves will be suitably marked. All bodies will wear identification tags. And now, Mr. Weatherby, I have to hook him alone as a mimeographed paper in his hand. The ink is still wet. He holds it carefully as he reads it to the men of Company A. The coming action marks the first offensive in the war against the enemy involving ground forces of the United States. The Marines have been selected to initiate this action. Ain't it always the way? Which will prove the forerunner of successive offensive actions that will end in ultimate victory for our cause. Yeah. We are meeting a tough and wily opponent, but he is not sufficiently tough or wily to overcome us because we are Marines. Ah, you're talking. Each of us has an assigned test. Let each bow to perform it to the utmost of his ability with added effort for good measure. Good luck, and God bless you. Walter E. Grayson's panel. Very well done, Hook. Very academic. But when do we do it? OK, boys. Infection, 10 minutes on the double. Oh, Jake. Looks like it won't be long now, eh? Looks that way, Patrick. Hey, what time is it? Back home, anyway. Let me see, uh, how many hours difference is it? Well, it's 19 between here and San Francisco, and there's three more between there and home. But I can never tell which way it is. Me, too. I can never tell whether today is yesterday or tomorrow. Oh, well, take it easy, kid. See you later. Yeah, ball, Patrick. The girl sounds like the girl that's married. Small talk. Scuttled but is not a privilege of illicit men only. The officers shoot the breeze, too. But Captain Davis and Captain Cross have been doing that for years. They're looking in the mirror for a while, eh? Getting balled? Oh, it sure looks like it. What are you supposed to do? Even the kids are doing right now. Sleeping, I hope. How do you feel? Scared? Sure, but I try to look at it as just another job, like selling a big order when there's a lot of sales resistance. Funny that we should end up like this. The first two companies in. Three to one says my outfit length. I'll take that. One cookin' it says you don't. One who loves nobody. All right, now, wait a minute, you guys. Wait a minute. Pipe down with him. Now, most of you have never had any experience in the jungle before, but the job's half. Plenty.    We can beat them at their own game of silence if we try, but, well, you know how marines are. Some dope will yell, hey, Mac, is that tea company over there? Yeah, well, it ain't funny. Keep an eye out for snipers all the time.  Makes sense, don't it?  Now, look, wait a minute. Blackjack, that thing ain't no government issue. No, no, no, that's flat-fush issue. I, uh, I just made it. If it'll make the jabs happy to die for their emperors, I'm going to try to make them happy. Oh, you're going to take the island all by yourself, I suppose. That would cause no surprise in certain circles of Brooklyn. And one thing more, guys, don't draw around picking up any helmets or anything else that jabs leave laying around. Yeah, but supposing you promise a certain party of souvenir. Just forget it. Sure, you'll have to find it's been rigged up with wiring and it'll blow right up on your kisses. Oh, hi, brother. Hello, boys. Say, uh, Padre, is there any natives on that island? Mr. Weatherby said several thousand. Is that a bull? No, I believe they're strict vegetarians, chicken. But then, of course, they have never tasted marimi. Well, don't worry, we may land tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. Oh, yes, that's right, it is Friday. Friday, the 7th of August. It's here, the day of landing. Now on the decks, there is smell of oil and steel. Every weapon has been cleaned and checked a dozen times. Solar lines and bayonets, so sharp that they sing when your thumb touches the blade. The torque and the laughter are gone now. Hearts are pounding, nerves jumping. Perhaps because what's happening is so unbelievable, like a dream. Here and there, a man with his lips breathes a little harder, eye strain. Waiting for a sight of that high, irregular mass lying beyond the sheen of water. Guadalcanal. Well, there she is. Oh, we must have passed these jet batteries by now, Colonel. Either it's a trick or they're awful dumb. Well, anyhow, Colonel, if it works out, it'll make a swell story for me to write about. Let's not think of it any other way. It's got to work out. Looks like this is it, huh? Yeah. You'd better unbuckle your chin, straps, and cockroach belts, man. Bring on him, Japs, brother. Now, this ain't no turkey shoot, thanks. Make him walk down. Don't worry, Sarge. I will. All right, we're not going in the same boat, Walter. No, you're just putting all of our aids in one basket. Only how we can stand here for piling to force the landing on the Japs and act as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Yeah, it is, brother. Hey, look. You see the turrets on that cruisey? They'll get ready to lay it down. No, Sarge. Tons like these kind of make me wish I was back in Brooklyn driving my cab with the first meter, keeping an eye on them What are you talking about? When the yanks get another crack in them, they'll take them apart. Oh, I shouldn't make so long. Hey, what am I saying? All right, here we go. Good luck, man. Thank you. OK, boys. Over we go. Now before Mr. DeMille presents Lloyd Nolan, Preston Foster, William Bendix, and Richard J. Cole in act two of Guadalcanal Diary. Here's our fashion reporter, Libby Collins, to tell us about a style show that has a pressurized department agent as its star. She's Linwood Relayne Gisclair, the maid of cotton for 1944. And she's selling war bonds in over 40 cities and in her spare time, modeling her all cotton wardrobe. The clothes are all ones you can make yourself from easy to follow patterns. And all the fabrics are lustible cotton. So you can put what you save on cost and on upkeep in the war bond. An excellent idea, Libby. Won't you tell us more about Mrs. Gisclair? Well, she's a tall, dark Louisiana co-ed. And she was selected maid of cotton from contestants representing all the Southern cotton-grown states. She's touring the country showing women how practical and pretty an all cotton wardrobe can be. So watch your local newspapers to see when she'll be in your town. Is everything she wears maid of cotton? Mm-hmm. Dresses, darkens, undies, even shoes. They're slacks, play clothes, suits, lovely family on afternoon talks, evening dresses too. All maid of cotton and all lustible. The fabrics were all tested by the luxe laboratory and will still be bright and new looking months later if you always wash them with gentle luxe plates. Yes, Libby, nice cottons are really fine fabrics. They deserve the same gentle luxe care you give rayons to keep them lovely long. Harsh soaps, too hot water, and cake soap rubbing can make them look drab and old before their time. Always use lukewarm water and mild luxe plates. Then you can be sure your pretty cotton will eat a long, long life. Listen, while we sum it up for you in both words and music, cottons lead a long life when they lead a luxe life. Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of Guadalcanal Diary, starring William Bendix as taxi, Lloyd Nolan as hook, Preston Foster as Father Donnelly, and Richard Jaco as chicken. We know the jabs are full of tricks, but we haven't counted on the surprise awaiting us as we land on Guadalcanal. Everything points toward a bloody battle on the beach, but nothing happens. Not a shot. Japanese or American is fired. The jabs have vanished. Either the Navy and the Coast Guard have blown them all to bits or, or what? We don't know. Boy, I gotta sit down. I'm all wore out, Leigh, and I think it's such stubborn resistance. Don't worry, Taxi. We'll hear from him yet. Yes, me, it's too good to be true. It's a trap. We'll know soon enough. The old man says the jabs are hiding in the hills. We're to stay here and hold this village. It's very wasteful. They didn't even stop to mine the runway. They're very considerate little sons of heaven.  Where? In that hut, look. Look out, guys. I'm going in. Hey, chicken. You cover Taxi, can you? I'll go around and talk. Watch out, kid. Here I go.  Huh? Well, what do you know? Hey, relax.   Yeah, look at them go. I'm sorry I called you a nasty name, pig. Hey, give me a cigarette, Leigh. Yeah, sure. Since when did you start smoking cigarettes? I'm going to start right now. What's this? They've got a warehouse full of jeff beer and caviar. Yeah, appreciate that. They taste pretty good. Maybe the jabs poison it. If nothing happens to you, butch, let me know. Gangway, gangway. Hey, Padre, where did you get the bicycle? I don't crowd me, boys. They're funny more with this game. Boy, that's our honey. Must be a couple of hundred jeff trucks over there. Radio, guns, everything.  Well, if we want to be elegant, Taxi, that's one way of putting it. But from the reports, we're getting to two lockings. Things over there aren't going so well. Get behind those trees, guys. On the doggy.  Oh, Taxi, yeah, this is it, huh? Yeah, maybe. Hi, sir, what's going on there? Oh, you can't tell, sir. The shots came from the edge of the jungle. Hey, Sarge, there they are. Three monkeys on a rope. Hey, sir, looks like Private Steinhaus got three prismits. Bring them in here.  Yeah, they don't smell so good either. Hey, Snow White, where's the rest of the seven quarks? I don't know you guys. They don't speak English. That's Hart, that's Schaffner, and Marx. Oh, good work, Steinhaus. Where'd you pick them up? Found them sitting under a bush, sir. Sir, these are the monkeys we're fighting. Oh, no, these are laborers. They keep pointing up to the hills, sir. I guess that's where the rest of them went from. Hey, what are they doing? Playing? They think they're going to shoot them, Sarge. Sarge! All right, sir. Get them something to eat, and then turn them over to the MP. All right, sir. Get moving, poachers. Manila, cut now. Cut it now. Avocado! Avocado! We ain't got no avocados. You don't have to wait long to learn what tropical weather is like. The sky suddenly blackened with drenched in the steaming cloudbursts. The rain comes down in tarns, and through it slows the steady, flop, flop, flop of the sentry's feet. And then it comes. A solitary shot in one of the sentry's sides and crumpled silently into the black mud. He is dead. Harman! Harman! I get it. Too late. Is he dead? Yes, he is. He's dead. May God have mercy on his soul. An XE is general order number three. Burial. Grave will be suitably marked. All bodies will wear identification bags. There is little sleep this first night of occupation. We know now that the enemy has not fled, that in the denseness of the jungle, men are lurking, silent, dangerous, watching us. How many are there? Where are they hiding? How grave is our danger? Not one of us can say. All we can do is wait. Wait and watch in the rain. In the distance, we hear the dull rumble of naval guns. Our ships have met the Jap Navy. And we realize that if our people out there lose the battle, we'll be fighting for our lives before morning. Suddenly, most of us know the awful feeling of being pitifully small, tiny particles of humanity, caught up in the gigantic whirlpool of war. At such a moment, without knowing it, we thank God for men like Taxi. Yes, leave it to Taxi to break the tension, one way or another. Help! Help! Help with the Jap! The Jap is coming! Taxi, hang on to him! Hold on, I love it. Oh, yeah. Hang on to him, Taxi. Hold Joe himself. That's the best button Jap I ever seen. I'm sorry, Sergeant. I could have sworn I felt his teeth. All right, Garkwell, here. Here's your first Jap present.  That's right. I guess the rain must have knocked it off the tree and dumped it in my arms. Yeah, you captured it fair-handed. The plant pushed Sergeant yours.  Come on. You feel better in the morning. The rain is over. We dig foxholes, and on the airfield, steam rollers and tractors roar out, taking up where the Japs had left off, finishing runways, setting up defense against the day when we'd have our own air support, and knowing that until that day arrives, we have but one course to follow on Guadalcanal. Dig in. Dig in and wait. And W-M-O-1. Let's all look more frozen than they're moving. Well, Colonel, anything I can write about for the folks back home? You can tell them that I passed four feet off the Japs last night. It cost us three of our cruisers to do it, though, and one Australian. The fight was just off Savo. What about our casualties on Telagi? Pretty heavy. The Japs are holing up in caves, fighting to the last man. Any idea how many we got? About 400 on Telagi. That's good news, sir. Now that I've got it, how am I going to get it to the state? Well, there's a Navy plane scheduled in here today or tomorrow. I'll write it up and see if I can get it aboard for you. I think they'd like to know it back home. Thank you, sir. Yeah. Hey, how's about letting that razor in the distance? What do you want a razor for? Oh, I must have lost mine coming to shore. But she ain't got no use for a razor chicken. Oh, I don't know about that. Here, look. Huh? No, not there. Down here, you see? Another chin. Yeah, kind of. Kind of on your finger, though. Hmm. Hard to say, though. Sure it ain't sand. No, I just washed my face, actually. You did, huh? Yeah, I guess maybe you've got a whisker there. Yeah.  Yeah, that's what I said. You want I should lad you up and take her off? No, I just assumed you were one of the razors. Hey, the chicken's got feathers. What do you know? Hey, it's kind of cute, isn't it? Oh, there's the poetry. I got to tell him. Hey, father. Yes, Haxi? Haxi? Hey, that's right. Congratulations, chicken. Boy, there's a certain party you like to know. No, I guess it'd be kind of silly to tell her. I imagine she's assumed as much all alone, chicken. Look, I just found something, too. Lines? Lines, huh? Yes. Hey, Haxi, come on over here. Chicken's got whiskers and a Padre's got lines. Oh, yeah? Now, if we only had some gin and ice, fish, water, a couple of maraschino cherries, I'd pick you a Tom Collins. Well, that's all right, Sergeant. You furnish the other ingredients, and I'll supply the limes. Here we go again.  Condition red. Condition red. Get it out of the box, old man. Get it out of the box, old man. Somehow, I can't get over it. I want to be praying for the obvious intention of dropping a bomb on my head. It looks so beautiful. Get out, Padre. You ain't getting about those bombs. Hey, chicken. Hey, chicken. Hey, chicken, look at the blood. Hey, guys, I want it. You won't, nation. It's just a concussion. You're in a burrow so deep, you're pushing yourself on your elbows. Yeah. Hey, hey, look, they're dropping something out of the plane. Parachutes. They're filling up troops. Those days, men's sergeants. They're baskets. Yeah, baskets. The prize, probably, for the men in the jungle. Most of them are going to land right here, though. Come on, guys, let's take a look.  Hey, look, the parts are candy. They need candy like the Dodgers need a fourth umpire. It's paper. It'll look like message.  I want to know what it says. We'll soon find out. Hey, Manuel. Yes, Padre? Yes, Padre? We have a draft letter for you. Oh. That's me, all right. Me speak Japanese, almost good as speak English. That's what I'm afraid of. Yeah. It was in this basket, Manuel. Let me see the... Well, if they hear the enemy before your eyes is collapsing, they mean us. Hey, sir, I... Look, I'm collapsing. Come on. Go on, Manuel. Be assured of help from Imperial Heaven. By no means run away from your position. The enemy has suffered enormous losses. All transports have been stopped and their choices troops are annihilated. I never thought of it. Maybe we're dead and we don't know it. How about that, Padre? Well, if we are, at least it's not Imperial Heaven. All right, sir. Well, he's got a such a cat fever, Colonel. I just took him to the sick bay. All right, sir. Come in, Walter. Colonel, I've just had a report.  That's about five miles from here. And maybe you'd better take a patrol down there and see what it's all about. It'll be a pleasure. You'd better go by boat. Take a Higgins. Keep offshore far enough so they can't snipe you. And then come in where and when you can. Well, you might take the Sergeant Malone with you. And maybe the report is true. Maybe it isn't. Be careful, Walter. Don't take any unnecessary chances. They leave at noon. Captain Cross, Hook, and 24 men. Six hours later about dusk, taxi and the boys return to the beach to watch for them. It is almost dark when they see something offshore. Tell you it ain't a log. It's moving. See? Step aside, Jess. I'll show you how I used to win them Cupid dogs at the Coney Island shooting gallery. I'll buck your mess. Hey, wait a minute, Taxi. It's a guy. Look, he's swimming. Yeah, that's right. A Japs. Coming this way, too. Probably a one-man suicide squadron with a load of dynamite. Going to sneak in as soon as it's dark. If it's a Japs, where'd he come from? Some of these good, pretty good swimmers, kid. Maybe come down to coast where Hook and them went. Taxi, it is Hook. Put down that gun. Trying to run out on that bed, huh? You're nuts. Hook. Hook. Hook. Sudge. Sudge. I might have shot him. Gangly, guys. I'm going in after. You all right, Hook? You all right, kid? Yeah. Yeah, give me the colonel. I got to see the colonel. Sure, Sudge. Sure. Come on, guys. Pick him up.  After you're dug in on the beach, then what? Well, he started. He started closing in, sir, one by one. We got him. Captain Cross asked for volunteers. To bring back word to you. So, McDonald went. He got about 50 yards. And then Alvetti, Blandik, Zamaski. All killed. They kept coming closer and closer. Grenades, machine guns. We got lots of them, sir. But after a while when I looked around, I found out I was the only one left. They were all dead. Captain Cross, 24 men, dead. I figured it was no use. I made a run for the ocean. That ain't quite true, sir. The ocean was right there. Tired to come in. In some of the bodies that... Keep talking, Sergeant. Aye, aye, sir. Anyway, I started swimming. I kept under water as much as I could, and I managed to get back here. But I ain't staying here, sir. I'm going back. I'm going back there. Easy, Hook. My heart gets easy. I... I could see them. They come out of the jungle and ran a bayonet into them. They were dead and they ran a bayonet into them. We've got to go back, sir. We've got to go back. Yes. We're going back to Metanicao. This time we'll go in force. And not just to take a look around Malone. This time we go for blood. Thank you, sir. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille returns with Preston Foster, William Bendix, Lloyd Nolan, and Richard Jacob for Act Three of Guadalcanal Diaries. Mr. Kennedy, I have a wonderful new way to shop to save time and energy. Every time I want to buy something, I buy a war bond instead. And then just imagine how I'll spend it after the war. Let's ask a couple of people from the audience what they'd do with it. I'd like to buy something to the house, like new curtain or an electric mixer. I'm going to buy something pretty for myself. Wow. I'm going to buy nylon stockings. Half a dozen pairs, right at one clip. Yes, that's what many women say. But so far those post-war nylons are only a dream. So why not let's face the fact lots of women didn't like nylon at first. Remember? Then after they'd worn them for a while, they raved about them. Probably you didn't like the new rayons much at first, neither did their makers. But they needed time to work out improvements. Now there really are some lovely women. And if they're given the right care they wear as well as silk. Every time you put a pair of those pretty rayon stockings in the washbowl, remember... That's practically a dollar bill in that washbowl, so I hope you're using luck, son. Because dollar bills don't grow on trees. If you attempted to be careless and use strong soaps for stockings or rub with cake soap, remember those stockings cost money. Give them the luck they need and they'll repay you in extra wear. Yes, strain tests prove stockings washed with luxe plates last twice as long as those rubbed with cake soap are washed with a strong soap. Nightly luxe care cut way down on run. Helps you to get two pair wear from every pair. If your dealer is out of luxe plates, try again soon. More is on the way. Remember, luxe is worth waiting for. Now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone. We'll investigate the private livers of our stars after the play. But now here's the curtain for the third act of Guadalcanaldao, starring Preston Foster, Lloyd Nola, William Bendick, and Richard Jekyll. We're going back to Matanacal and this time for blood. Men are going and boys going into battle for the first time in their lives. Boys just out of high school, grocery clerks, truck drivers, insurance salesmen, filled with the memories of tricks and ambush and slaughter. The memories of dead friends will be another hour before we reach Matanacal. We slip through the jungle, but we're new at a time. Yeah. This is it, huh? Yeah, we're getting closer, chicken. How do you feel about killing people? Kill will be killed, isn't it? Besides those Japs ain't people. Yeah, but I mean the first time you got one of them. It's just a matter of repetition. Quit thinking about it, you'll go crazy. Yeah, but I wonder what it's gonna be like. Hey, chicken. You've got plenty of cover here behind these trees. If I got an idea, those monkeys will be coming this way. You can pick them off from here like fishing a barrel. Where you going? I'm gonna see how Taxi's making out with a mortar. I'll be back.  Look, there's one over there in the clearing. He did it. Let's get down. I promise there's a certain party of souvenirs. You've got enough to think about without going after souvenirs. You just think it's important. Yeah, nice work, guys. Keep laying it down there, Taxi. Have you been running for the woods any minute, Sarge? Is any of them left to run? Any sign of snipers? Not yet. There ain't tanks watching for them over there. Hey, you better watch closer or not. You heard Taxi? He threw my helmet. Look, hook it ain't possible.  We'll get back to that mortar. Picking up to drive me kid. Hey, Taxi. See what I see? Yeah, up on the coconut tree. Watch. What do you think you are, Gary Cooper or Roy Rogers? They're pretty good, too. This'll put him out. This'll put him out. You see, he's taking out his greasy kisser. Watch. Hey, Jack. That was for Captain Cross. Like a 24 to go. Hey, Taxi. I'm going back over the ridge. Join us up there when you're through. Huh? What's this? Hey, chicken. Where are you?  I'm trying to get the sword. Yeah, yeah, I know. Now take it easy.  Look, am I going to die? No, no, you'll be all right. I promise there's a certain part of it. I've got to get you out of here. You think you can walk? Come on now. Put your weight on me. I'll come back later and get it for you. I'll get you a couple of chaps to put on it, too. What time is it? We'll just say it, Brett. I mean, I never figured this was going to happen to me. What time is it? We'd better get him to an ambulance, Doctor. You'll never make it, Father. If he needs too much blood, he needs plasma, he needs it fast. Can't we give it to him here? With all these other men waiting? Well, he's just a kid. They're all just kids. I've watched you often enough. Perhaps I can do it myself. You? Why not? If I die, if you don't, nothing to lose. Foreman, plasma. Over here, quick. Yeah, Father. I think you should be all right. The mighty armies of masses of men, of tanks and planes. There's been nothing more than an episode. An incidental skirmish. Only a few hundred will ever remember. The boys who fought there, and the families of those we buried. But the enemy has a past been met, and we have wiped him out. Those who can walk, and judge back to our village in silence. They're weary and stunned. Moving like drunken men, or men in a nightmare. They pose corn, unlit cigarettes dangling from their lips. Old before their time. Veterans, the rest of the village. And then in the morning, as if from heaven itself, comes the one thing that can best snap us out of it. Nail. Nail from that distant, hazy spot, filled with hopes and dreams. Form. Smells delicious. Come here, give me that. Yes, sir, this. Two more forms, Captain Davis. Come on, take one about me. Take it easy, Flatbush. We'll get around to you. Mackle boy! That's you. You got up a little soon, didn't you? Yeah. Who'd you hear from, Taxi? Me? From the Flatbush Athletic Club. It says, are you keeping fit these difficult days? You owe it to yourself to exercise regularly so that you will keep your body in the pinker condition. You think we've been neglecting our health out here? Yeah. I think I'll join up. Come on, let's go over and see the chicken. I'll take that drink. It was weeks before we had reason again to celebrate. Weeks of rain and disease and malnutrition. Weeks of digging graves. Of watching the enemy slip more and more of men ashore from Bougainville and Rapal. Weeks of being a target day and night of their bombers and zeros against whom we're lucky to put up six or seven grumman fighters. We wonder if this will be another batan, another corregidor. Then they come. Reinforcement. They're finally here. Immediately we start to push inland and that Jack runs to his hills in his cave sweeping us down with machine guns. Chains of them sometimes rather than surrender. One by one these fanatics must be blasted out on the job goes to men like Taxi and Hook. They find a mighty grenade with gasoline and sheer guts. To them, it's all in a day's work now. And when the job is done back to camp they come and rush for the portable radio. I'll pipe down you guys. I got it. Listen. And now for the world of sports.  Portman Park St. Louis was packed with 34,000 wild-eyed fans with the cards and the yanks tangled in the second game of the current world series. Come on, you redbird. Give us the score. In the eight inning with the score tied one to one the fans got the thrill that they've been waiting for. Yeah, but will you give us the score? The cards had two men out when Enos Flutter caught a pass one and slid into second base with a double. That's it, Enos. I knew you could do it. All right, tell me it's all right. I think nothing of it. Oh, I was expecting that. And that brought Stan Musial to bat. He worked on them for a three-two pitch and then with the home card screaming for the hit he passed over the plate. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Coming in again, listen. And so baseball fans, today's game ended with a final score and that's the way today's game ended. Thanks for listening, folks. See you tomorrow. The worst one yet, throwing everything at us with the kitchen stove. There's a stove now. Here, chicken, take a drag in this cigarette. I don't mind the one with my name on it the one address to whom it may concern your life.  You hear what I hear? What do you mean? I think. Those are not all bombs. They're eating shells. They got nothing anywhere near that thing unless we got visitors. There's a report that a couple of battleships and eight cruisers are off Kabul. They're really pasting this. I don't mind saying I don't like it. I got things on my mind too, but I don't know how the budget will like it. Go right ahead, Texas. I don't know about you guys, but me, well, while I'm telling you this thing's a way over my head, it's going to take somebody bigger than me to handle it. I ain't much of this praying business. My old lady always took care of that. Yeah, my old lady was like that too. Well, I don't know as I mean that kind of praying, you know, the Lord's prayer and things like that. I used to pray like that back when I was a kid. You know, Lord, give me this, give me that. We've let the yanks win. I've never been in a spot like this before. I don't like to hear you guys talk that way. Me either. You guys are different. I don't believe you're scared. If you were, you wouldn't have gone up under those cliffs. Lending to their noses, dropping gasoline and grenades in their caves. Stop it, chicken! I'm just a guy. I come out here because somebody had it come. I don't want no medals. I just want to get this thing over with and go back home. I'm just like everybody else and I'm telling you I don't like it. Except maybe I just there's nothing like I do about it. I guess it's up to up to God. And I'm not kidding. When I say I hope he knows just how I feel. I'm not going to say I'm sorry for everything I've done in my life. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not. The only thing I know is I didn't ask to get in this spot. If we get it, it sure looks that way now. Well, then I I only hope he figures we've done the best we could and lets it go with them. Maybe this is a funny kind of praying to you guys, but it's what I'm thinking in praying.   It's as if God grabbed the world by the shoulders and shook it and shook it. Trying maybe to bring it to its senses. Then, it's over.  The earth doesn't leap up at you anymore and the shells have stopped screaming but the planes are still there. Dozens and dozens of planes. The book stands up. The funny look in his face. He starts to leave and you grab at him but he shakes you off and runs outside. Look, those are the captains. Those are our planes. No planes. At last. Good morning, Captain Davis. Hello, Taxi. Hard to believe, isn't it? Yes, sir. Men, planes, food, hot food. I almost feel good. Captain, what's up, sir? We ain't getting all this for nothing. I figured when we get hot shower it means it's time for us Marines to push on somewhere else. Your guess is as good as mine, Taxi. I'll know later today. Captain Jeff from Guadalcanal. The handles and rivers are all in their favor. We've done very well at Matanicao, the narrow and bloody ridge but we've got to take over this entire island. It means an all out effort and I can think of no better date to begin it than tomorrow. November the 10th, the 167th anniversary of the Marine Corps. Dear mom, I'm fine and I hope you and dad are not worrying. It's funny you writing to me how you went to the blood bank because a few weeks ago they gave me some of that plasma when I got hit a little. Maybe it was your blood. That would be funny, wouldn't it? Everything here is okay. Maybe I'll go home.  It's here at last. The great offensive. The men have written their letters home for many, their last letters. We started dawn along the shore and through the jungle there was but one command attack, attack, attack. They pour it on with tank and plane, grenade and machine gun, pistol and bayonet. It's forward, ever forward in one gigantic charge across the width and breadth of blood canal. They carry those grenades. They carry them in slings. You can't help but think of those pictures of old-time farmers sowing grain. They, too, are sowing grain. The lethal grain of sudden death. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Isn't that General Vandy Griffith over there with you? Curl? Yeah. Don't you know what's dangerous here? Why don't you go tell him? Come on, thanks. Born in some tiny Mexican village, he came to the United States and he liked us, and we liked him. Now, he is behind five feet of bayonet and rifles fighting for us, like some dark-skinned demon. The head of him, a jab is swinging for cover. He has dropped a knife. Hey, jab! You forgot something! Seuss picks it up, aims and flings the knife at the speed and accuracy of a striking rattlesnake. He forgot something! Ha-ha-ha! Fully, yeah! And so he dies. Guys in blood and laughter in the green jungle of Guadalcanal. Seuss never knew what hit him. Chicken hears the shot. He comes running up. There's another shot. And chicken sprawls grotesquely beside the body of his comrade. And then, out of nowhere, appear two Japanese with their rifle butts they prod the motionless bodies. Fanzai, honored to Emperor. And back to nowhere, they disappear again. But not quickly enough. Chicken is on his feet and his rifle at his shoulder. And two quick shots make two dead jabs. That's one you taught me, sir. Chicken has remembered a jab officer in a shining sword for a certain party.  Until at length, this island is cleansed of its plague. Those few jabs who are still alive dash headlong to the sea. And the waters of the Pacific rise and ring down on infamy. A green and foamy curtain. It is December the 10th, 1942. We are leaving Guadalcanal today. They have told us our job is done. More soldiers are landing now. And from this tiny foothold in the Pacific, in good time, we'll go forward. We're all at the beach. Off shore, we see the ships that brought them here. And will carry us away. Okay, okay, you guys. Stay put. We'll be going aboard in a few minutes. Hey, Taxi, look at them. Whiskers all over. Look at them. Hey, I thought you guys here be fighting in footholds. This joint looks great. Give it time for the beauty of wear-off. Hey, sir. What's it like out here? Oh, it's not too bad, soldiers. Pretty rugged. Come on, guys. See you in Tokyo. Okay. We'll be there waiting for you. And then Colonel Grayson says he has something to read to us. From Admiral W. F. Paul Day, commander of the South Pacific Force of the United States Pacific Fleet, never throughout the long and brilliant history of the Marine Corps have your deeds and sacrifices been surpassed. Your shining courage has surmounted every hardship and conquered a vile and treacherous enemy. By your zeal and accomplishments, you have added a new verse to the Marine hymn, set the pattern for our inevitable victory and tower as an inspiration for every American on every front.  We stand there looking out to sea. The waters seem misty.  We know we shall never forget them. We pray that you at home will never forget them, too. Now the curtain calls on one of the most stirring real-life dramas of our time. In just a moment, Mr. DeMille will return with our stars for a curtain call. Have you ever noticed how music can be used to express a mood, to picture a situation? Take two women both doing the daily job of washing dishes. Here's how Mrs. Jones feels about it. Oh, dear, I wish I were true. And just look at my red dishpan hand. But Mrs. Smith... Oh, they're all done in plenty of time for our first ink class. Mmm, and my hands look soft and smooth as ever. That doesn't sound like the same job at all. Tell us, Mrs. Smith, how come you're so cheerful? Oh, dish washing's no chore, not with luck. But thuds, so rich and so kind to my hands. Guess that's why more and more women are changing to luck's flakes for dishes. Richer suds have washed the dishes fast, gentler suds that leave hands soft and smooth. A good combination, isn't it? Yes, and it's surprising how thrifty luck's is, too. Goes further and does more dishes. Actually, up to twice as many dishes, Mrs. Smith, is the same weight of other well-known dish washing soaps. A little goes a long way. Now, here's Mr. DeMille with our stars. In the diary of the Lux Radio Theatre, Guadalcanal Diary will occupy an honored day. And here are three of the artists responsible. William Bendix, Preston Foster, and Lloyd Nolan. Thank you, CB. Glad to be back with you. Yeah, me, too. Hey, how are things in Brooklyn, Joe? Brooklyn? Oh, huh. I was only acting. I'm really from New York. Huh? You're not really a Dodger fan?  Hey, by the way, are they still in the league? Don't kid about that. We are very sensitive. Besides, it makes me remember the great tragedy in my life. The time I had the chance to go south with a giant for spring training and couldn't make it. Accident bill? No, my mother wouldn't let me. Hello, Bat Boy. That's very interesting work. Another man that's always amazed me on jobs is Preston Foster. He's done everything from setting up pins in a bowling alley to singing an opera. How many jobs did you have before you got into pictures, Preston? 56. That's pretty hard to beat in Hollywood. I just made it, CB. Guadalcanal Diary is my 57th picture. I don't think he'll last you. What's your play next week, CB? The author is one of the foremost novelists and playwrights of the 20th century. Next week's play is one of his triumphs. The Letter by Somerset Morb. And our stars will be Betty Davis, Herbert Marshall and Vincent Price. Betty Davis' fine performance in the Warner Bros. picture will be long remembered by all who saw it. And next Monday night, she brings us this drama of a few dangerous weeks in the life of a beautiful woman. A performance by Betty Davis is something you just can't miss, CB. Good night. Good night.
