Yeah? Hey, how are you feeling today, huh? Oh, not so hot. The doctor told me to drink some lemon juice after a hot bath. Well, did you drink the lemon juice? No, I didn't finish drinking the hot bath yet. We're gonna roll out the barrels.

Here's a barrel sent in by Rebecca Smith of Danbury, Connecticut. We're gonna find out what's inside you. It's called Penny Pass. You will need some playing cards and a penny. Everybody sits in a circle, each holding the playing card between its teeth. The first person puts the penny on his card and slips it from his card to the next card on his right, and so on around the circle. Anyone who drops a penny must put it on the card to his right and is eliminated from the game. You can keep going until two people are all left. No, I'm not getting kooky. Here we go. Thank you. Yeah. It's gonna slip, gonna slip. Yeah, until it's done. Look at her face. Hey! Okay, you guys, keep going. Oh, here. You put it on yourself. Dad, I had to get out. I love this kid. Norman, try to win.

Our latest model of a vacuum cleaner. Now, if this little hot shot doesn't pick up every piece of that dirt, I'll eat it. Well, young man, I think you'll be needing this. Ma'am? Out this way, we don't have any electricity. In our last thrilling and heartwarming episode of As the World Zooms, nothing much happened.

That's because there was no last episode of As the World Zooms. But in this episode, something might happen if we're lucky. Frank, answer the phone, please. Hello. Good evening, good afternoon, and good morning. This is the Zoom In. It's your last resort. Frank is the greatest bellhop in the whole world. But when he starts thinking he's super-clerk, watch out. Same to you. Ah, come on, Frank. We're going to put that super-clerk routine again, are you? Now, Mr. Williams is the manager of the Zoom-in.

Where were you? Well, you see, I planned this little cape out. Figured it was your birthday and all.

And there it was. I mean, I had always fingered all the merchandise. What happened? Did you get caught again? Not this time. I couldn't do it. They say Maxie used to be a big gangster in his day. But nobody knows for sure. You just can't pull this heist. They're birthday presents. They're supposed to be from you. So I put the merchandise back. Have a piece of cake, pal. Thanks, you guys. Happy birthday. Nice cake. Compliments to Louie. Thanks. Hey, who's the wise guy? We're going to be saying happy birthday. This looks like a job for Superclerk. Will darkness ever lift from the zoom-in? Can a humble waitress skate her way to fame? Why does Frank keep hitting for the phone booth? And for gosh sakes, will Professor Von Dunkhoff ever fix the elevator? Be sure to tune in to the next episode of As the World Zooms. Well, friends, now you've seen As the World Zooms,

we hope you like it because we really worked hard on it. But now it's up to you to help us write the next episode of As the World Zooms. And to give you a head start, we're making a Zoom card to send to you. And on the Zoom card, it will say what characters each of us play. And this way, you'll know what kind of things to write. But just remember, when you write to us to send you a Zoom card, you must include a saisy. A saisy is a self-addressed stamped envelope. So, stay into Zoom! A Texan who was visiting in Australia was asked for his opinion of Australian ranches. Why, back home in Texas, we've got much bigger ranches than these. Hmm. What then do you think of our horses? Asked the Australian. Why, we've got much bigger horses than these.

Bragged the Texan. Just then a kangaroo hopped by. What was that? Asked the Texan. What's that? Casually remarked the Australian. That was just one of our pesky grasshoppers. Let's keep down the good old TV. If you write to Zoom and you want a Zoom card back, here's a song which tells you how to do it. Here in the land of the Zumba tree, we're waiting for you to send a say-tee. Cause if you want Zoom to send a Zoom card to you Then that's the very thing that you have to do Well, what the heck is a SASE? If you don't know now, don't you give up hope It's a self-addressed stamped envelope Self-addressed, that means address to yourself Add a stamp and then it will return itself

I get it, SASE means self-addressed stamped envelope But what the heck do you do with a SASE? Take another envelope and a pencil on pen In the upper left corner, write your name again Your number and your suite and your city and state And don't forget your zip so you won't have to wait Okay, okay, but what happens to the Stacey? Take whatever you want to send to Zoom And put it in the envelope and leave some room Now take your Stacey and fold it right And put it in the envelope and seal it tight Then, on the envelope...

Yeah, that's pretty good. Don't be afraid.

No. Yes, say it like that. Yes, it's gonna look good. Put your ears over your mouth. No! Do you know me today? Yes. Will you know me tomorrow? Of course. Knock, knock. Who's there? See, you forgot who I am already. Hi, Mr. Magician. Hiya. Now, I take this paper clip box and I shake it. And it is full. These aren't. Now I'm going to use some sleight of hand. Can you guess which one it is that is full?

Well, thank you very much. Are you sure you want 54 quarts of milk? Yes, my doctor told me to take a bath of milk. Do you want it past your eyes? No, just up to my chin. Hello, Dr. Gamble. Hello, Peter. Yeah, it's me. Here's my pacemaker, Beep. Dear Zoom, I like to be a Zoom guest because I have a pacemaker, which is a battery. Keeps my heart going. I had open-heart surgery to close a hole in my heart, and now I can do lots of things I couldn't do before.

Signed, Peter McLaughlin. We'll see you soon in the clinic. Okay, thank you. See you soon. Bye. Hey, Dad, think I'll catch a big fish? After the operation, I felt this big lump under my arm, and it hurt all the time. Every second I was crying, except when I was sleeping. When I got home, it hurt for about a month and a half, and I'd have to take these special pills to keep the hurting down because it hurt so much. I couldn't go outside. I could just stay in the house, and it was so boring watching the other kids all play around. I knew I could do this now, but I had to stay in the house. Before, my pacemaker was put in. I couldn't go hiking or fishing or play baseball or nothing like that. I get way too tired. Now, me and my dad go fishing a whole lot and hiking. A turtle's going after her.

Hey, wow! See him? Yeah! I think I cut him. Oh! All right, you're smart enough. I'll try again. How are swimming lessons going? Ah, pretty good. I have a little trouble with my elementary backstroke. What kind of trouble? Water gets up my nose. You guys got a ball game coming up. What are you playing this time? Dodgers. what's their record i don't know but we beat him twice oh beef what a bad shot i don't think the fish are very hungry today pete i don't think there's any fish period peter let's get a listen to you and see how everything's going in there okay

Yeah. Once a year, I have to go to the doctor for a real good examination. Sounds good. How's the pacemaker been doing? Good. Real good? Yep. Have you bumped it or scraped it or anything? No. That looks real nice. Good. Well, let's measure the pacemaker, shall we? The doctor hooks me up to a machine that shows the beat of my pacemaker and my heartbeat. I need to tell whether they're doing okay or not. Let me show you what we're doing here, okay? Here's the pacemaker spike real big. That shows how much electricity is going to the heart. And down here, I've got showing here the pacemaker spike, which is this little sharp thing, and then the wiggle shows that your heart is being driven from it.

And every spike is followed by the wiggle, showing that the pacemaker is working and making your heart go the way it should. There's a wire that goes down under the skin and into your chest and over here into the heart, down about there. And you may be able to see my finger jump a little bit with each heartbeat. But that's the heart that's pushing my finger, not the pacemaker. The pacemaker just sort of is like an automobile spark plug. it starts the thing firing so then the heart contracts and makes it go that's where it connects onto the wires that go to your heart so that when the batteries run down and probably about three years we can then replace it by just unplugging and replugging and you don't have to have a big operation to change the batteries. Do you like one that looks like that next time? After the operation, all the kids were going into Little League and they all said, why don't you try out? So I signed up and I got

picked for my team, which is the Barron's. He's no better. Teddy, you got him. Brian, be alert, will you? Derrick, Brian, don't forget to cover. Come on, get back out there where you belong. Come on, he can it. Come on, Teddy. All right, when we drafted him, I called his mother and father, and his mother said the only thing that she wanted was to make sure that he didn't do any sliding or any fights. All right, Eric, let's go. Peter, run back. All right, Eric. Go, Pete. Go. Hustle. Hustle. Come on. So, that's the way it went. The first game, he was on third base, and he slid into Holmes under the catcher. And he was laid out like this, you know. He wasn't even moving. And his father called. He said, wait a minute. Just let him get up by himself, you know. And he got up, and he walked over, and I said, I'm all right, I'm all right. He says, from now on, you're going to walk across. No sliding for you anymore, you know. Always walk across. And he doesn't slide anymore.

I'm really happy I had that operation in my pacemaker, it really hurt, but it was worth it, because now I can do all these other things instead of just sitting around the house all day when i grow up i want to go to the andes and climb a few mountains down there before i dreamed about it but i knew it couldn't happen now i really look forward to a whole lot of things Last year, I couldn't. Strike three! All right, Peter. Oh, you gotta have friends. The feeling's all so strong.

Yes, you gotta have friends To make that day last long. Had some friends, but they're gone. Something came and took them away And from the dust to the dawn Here is where I'll stay Standing at the end of the road, girls Waiting for my new friends to come I don't care if I'm hungry or cold Freeze it! I gotta get me some! Cause you gotta have friends Friends, la la la la la la la Friends, la la la la la Friends, I'm talking about friends That's right, friends La la la la la La la la la la All right.

I'm old boys, waiting for my new friends to come, I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freeze it, I gotta get me some, cause you gotta have friends, la la la la la la la la, friends, la la la la la, friends, I'm talking about friends, Oh, that's right, man La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la Oh, you gotta have, man I'm feeling so, so strong You gotta have, man Can't you make that, man Yeah, I think it's important to meet new people because you don't want the same old ones every day. I meet a lot of kids that I don't get along with a lot. That's not how I'm making friends with boys, it's just different. Well, everybody says it's different, but it's the same thing because boys and girls are really the same. I'm not scared of many people at all. You know, you meet up with this new kid, you don't know what he's like, you don't know if he's nice or too nice or mean. Like when you first meet the person, they don't show what's really inside of them.

When I meet new people, I just don't know what to say and I get embarrassed and blush. I like meeting new people because I make a lot of friends and I have some enemies, too. If I'm in a strange place, I introduce myself and try to make a friend. The thing that I can't stand about eating new people is that sometimes they're snobbish. That don't seem like nobody that you can really communicate with. La, la, la, la, la, la Friends, I'm talking about Friends, that's right Friends, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la

Friends, I'm feeling so, so strong We'll be right back. This program was funded by
