The Quiz Kids &
Father Knows Best
Dear Friends,
Since this coming weekend marks the "official end" of Summer vacation season here in the USA, we thought we'd bring you a couple of "just for fun" Labor Day vacation programs to listen to as you enjoy your holiday.
First up, we feature the Labor Day episode of the Quiz Kids, a popular question and answer program from September, 1950. Quiz Kids consisted of host Joe Kelly asking questions of five extremely bright kids, whose breadth of knowledge about obscure things is downright amazing. This entertaining and very educational episode of Quiz Kids starts with the question: "Why would you be wise to choose a picnic spot for your Labor Day picnic near a good supply of Gambusia Afinus?" Hmmm... Do you know? Well, these youngsters sure do! You and your kids will enjoy this fascinating program. And be sure to keep an ear out for contributions from five year old Angus -- he's amazing!
Next, we bring you an episode of "Father Knows Best", where the Anderson family is simply trying to set out on their vacation... but things keep going awry. There's lots of laughs in this fun episode starring Robert Young, which was originally broadcast in July, 1952.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful family time this weekend. We'll see you next week as we head back to the books with another "living book for the ears" program!
Best Wishes,
The Erskine Family

Okay... here are the links to this week's "Living Book for the Ears" program:
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS below if you are unfamiliar with downloading a file or are having any problems with your download.
To download a program, RIGHT click (use the right hand button on your mouse) the link above, and "save target as" (or "save link as") to the directory of your choice.
The file should start downloading right away. If it doesn't, try it again, and follow these instructions carefully. (DON'T cut and paste this link into your web browser -- that will just PLAY the program over the internet (it will be jumpy and start & stop a lot), and will not DOWNLOAD the program. If you want to download it to your computer, you need to follow the above instructions.)
NOTE: If the file just starts playing over your computer right away, that's because you clicked the link with the LEFT hand button on your mouse. You need to click the RIGHT HAND button to download the whole show to your computer.
IF you right click the link and your computer does not allow you to "save target", you need to adjust your computer's security settings (or disable your "internet content advisor" settings) to allow downloaded files.
MAC USERS: In order to download these files, hold down the Control key then click the link with your mouse. It will then download to the directory you choose.
If your download is unusually slow, it could be because our server is busy or overtaxed. You might try again at a later hour. It should - eventually - work fine.
This file will be available for the next week or two only, so don't put off downloading it if you want a copy.
