CPO Norman Weiss from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania is traveling the
world at his own expense: “To visit my 10 foster children”
Chief Weiss contributes more than half
his Navy paycheck, some $150 a month, to support children in Greece, Italy,
Korea, Vietnam, Hong King, the Philippines and Columbia. Himself a foster child, his efforts are done
through a worldwide organization called Foster Parents Plan, known today as
Plan International. See
E409
from 1960
for another example of fostering children through this organization.
Seven children of Secret production staffers are going to play a Christmas carol on: “Alarm clocks”
They perform
“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
Captain Margaret Steinhoff of the
Salvation Army brings a page of unusual markings which turns out to be sheet
music for tambourines. She is the leader
of the Timbrelettes, a dozen or so women who play the instrument. The Salvation Army band eventually joins them
for a medley of Christmas songs.
In a fairly awkward final segment,
four more children of staffers, these very young, come out and attempt to
describe next week’s guest star Durward Kirby, who “just happens” to be in the
studio (his show would be recorded the same evening).
