Nine students, who appear on behalf of the entire student body of PS 80 in
Manhattan: “We adopted and support a Korean orphan”
The students raised the money
themselves by selling pens. The school sponsors an orphan through the Foster
Parents Plan, today known as Plan International. The organization began in the 1937 when it
was founded to help children in Spain.
Its mission, and name, has evolved over the decades to address the needs
of children throughout the world. Today,
Plan International also sponsors the “Because I Am a Girl” campaign to fight
gender inequality.
Frank Corbin, vice-president of McCarty Associates, the show’s PR
firm: “I’m going on a diet – starting tomorrow”
The panelists are all familiar with
the rotund Corbin, who is enjoying a Thanksgiving feast during the
questioning. Garry agrees to pay him the
$80 in prize money he won – but only at the rate of $2 per pound of the 40
pounds he intends to lose. Garry promises
to keep the audience apprised of the developments.
Special Guest Peter Ustinov: “I’m going to teach the panel how to
carve a turkey”
Ustinov reads from prepared
instructions, but admits at the end that he’s never actually done it
himself. The prolific actor, author and
director is still fairly early into his career here, a career that would
eventually lead to Emmy, Oscar and Grammy awards among many other
accolades. Here he has two books to
promote: a picture book called Ustinov’s
Diplomats (Globe Photos 1960) and his debut novel The Loser (Little Brown & Co 1960).
