Or say you've just seen something on this show, or someone cool you just gotta know. Write it all down, don't make a mess, and don't forget your name and address. Include a stamp so we can drop you a card, Then dip your note in a bucket of lard Joe doesn't know what he's talking about You put it in an envelope without a doubt Then take your typewriter, pencil, or pen And if you make a mistake, you gotta do it again Write Zoom C-O-O-M-Box-3-5-O Boston, that's O-2-1-3-4

The Atlantic Ocean, a sea of mysteries. A brave sea captain, Mark, was going to set out on a voyage. Some of the neighbors had gone scuba diving, and they never returned. Their wives were worried. Mrs. Deuce, do you ever think our husbands will return? Well, Mrs. Callipool, I just hope Mark and Brad can rescue them. From what? What? I don't know. Mark and Brad sit out on a boat. By night, the sky was all misty and foggy. Mark, do you think we'll ever find out what made the townspeople disappear in this fog? I hope so.

The next night, the fog cleared. And there, in the middle of the water, was a big, dark, black castle. Brad and Mark docked their boat. Suddenly, out of the castle came a walkway. Mark and Brad went in. They soon found out they were in the castle of Dr. Weaver, a mad scientist. Huh? Are you the cause of the disappearance of the townspeople? I am. I put in the water an invisible poisonous red liquid that would attract them here. I want to take over the whole of the East Coast. Since you've found out what I'm doing, I must kill you. How are you going to do that? Come, and I'll show you. Dr. Weaver put them in a giant glass tube in a room far away from the castle. Dr. Weaver was clever, but the men were cleverer.

Dr. Weaver put us in the same tube on top of each other. So? If you stand on tippy toe, I'll be able to press a button up here that will open the glass door, and we'll be free. Brad did, and Mark pressed the button. They were free. Quietly, they tiptoed up to Dr. Weaver and knocked him out. Then they took the bomb and threw it into the castle and went away in their boat. When Mark and Brad got home, they were awarded a medal of courage, and they all lived happily ever after. . Bilbo. Babas?

Babas? Babas? What about the Balabans Baba Zabby? So back to Zoom. Back to back. Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy! Let's see. Elbow to elbow. Head to head. Back to back. Back to back. Back to back. Back to back. Back to back. Oh, Amy, you're so... I... Who is it? Nick. Knee to knee. Shoulder to shoulder. Arm to arm. Cheek to cheek. Ear to ear. Oh, now we'll stay already. I know. Toe to toe. Knee to knee. Toe to toe. Back to back. Back to back!

Let's use the stick! That's what you have the stick for! Don't be afraid of the puck. Whack it! Let it go! Good! Some people don't think the girls play rough sports, but we're all on a girls hockey team in Marshfield, Massachusetts. People used to laugh at the idea of girls playing hockey, but a lot of us wanted to play, so a couple of years ago, one of our fathers started up a team. Our coach is Ed Hayden. When he first started working with us, He was afraid to yell at us just because we were girls, but not anymore. Wait for your goalie to get set! Usually we play other girls' teams, but sometimes we play the boys.

Those girls are gonna put up a riding fight. We're gonna kill him, aren't we? Maureen, go head first into the guy! Jody, play your position. Colleen, play your position. Okay, fellas, now let's remember our reputation was on the line today. All right, girls, now let's get out there and have a good game. Let's go beat those girls. I think we're going to win today. The girls aren't as good as we are. I think we play hockey just as well as the boys. We've got stronger players. I think the boys might win, but only by around one cheap goal. I think hockey is a boy's game. I don't think girls should play because the home for a girl is in the house.

I don't think that you can be feminine when you play hockey. I think you just have to forget about that and just play hockey. Well, we weren't moving fast enough, so they beat us. Five to one. It's boys, so they beat us. Next year, we'll kill them, right? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, we'll squish them! Hey! To whom? To Zoom, we double-O-M, plus-three-five-o, Boston, let's go, two-one-three-four, send it to Zoom! When John Henry was a little baby No bigger than the palm of your hand He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel

He said, son's gonna be a steel-driving man Son's gonna be a steel-driving man Well, the captain, he says to John Henry, come and bring me a steam drill round. We'll take that steam drill out on the job. Gonna warp that steel on down, yes, man. Gonna warp that steel right on down. John Henry says to his captain, come and send me I drove on him around. A 12-part hammer with a four-foot handle And I'll beat your steam drill down, yes, ma'am I'll beat your steam drill right on down Well, John Henry says to his captain A man ain't nothing but a man But before I lay that steam drill down I'm going to die with a hammer in my hand

I'm going to die with a hammer in my hand Just in case you still haven't gotten it, I'll do it really slowly for you. Now watch. See? All you have to do is put your elbows together, swing your arms around, and there. Now try it with me. Now let's do it fast. Try this at home, and you'll get it. You know what would happen if a girl played football against boys? They'd get all bruises over them. Yeah, but if a woman played against men, I know. No, but the men would beat them. I mean, really. They'd kill them. They'd kill them. I mean, they are really rough. Boys are really rough. But like in some schools, they make the boys, you know,

You know, the boys' sports are more important than the girls' sports. And, like, if two people have, like, in the same gym or something, they'll probably let the boys play because... Yeah, but they can't do that anymore. They can't do that anymore. This is a book that has 1,001 Fanny Dooley's in it. Fanny Dooley hates monsters but loves the mummy. F-A-N-N-W-E-D-O-L-W-O Wants to be funny, Fanny Dooley replied There's something about me that I cannot hide I hate to read, but I love a good book I hate to bake, but it's fun to cook Fanny Dooley loves coffee, but hates tea 104, Fanny Dooley loves lettuce, but hates salads 105, Fanny Dooley loves cabbage, but hates cold slop. F-A-N-N-W-E-D-O-O-L-W-E.

Fanny Dooley loves Fanny Dooley, but hates herself. Golly gee, Fanny Dooley. When are you gonna tell us who you're B-B-B? Who is Fanny Dooley? Fanny Dooley hates to be insane, but loves to be loony. Hurry! And take a quick look at the spelling. F-A-N-A-N-W-E-T-O-L-W. F-A-N-A-N-W-E-T-O-L-W. F-A-N-A-N-W-E-T-O-L-W. I'm going to show you how to stick a needle through a balloon without fussing it. You need one balloon, a long sewing needle, some thread, and scotch tape. You blow the balloon up, not too big and not too tight. Then you take the needle and put the thread through it.

Then you take some tape and put it on opposite sides of the balloon. Be sure it's smooth, though. Then you take the needle and stick it through the balloon on the scotch tape without busting it. I hope it doesn't bust. Oh! Told you it would work.

Danielle Smith of the Bronx, New York, knows another way to play concentration. And it's called story concentration. Friendly frogs are good to eat when you are hungry. very hungry. And you feel like eating broccoli. And you have the... mini bones. And the... ...shut-a-da-da-da. To Zoom, we double O-M-535-0. Boston, that's all, two, one, three, four. Send it to Zoom!

I might as well put them. No, we can hang these on them. It's a hammer. You separate all the elbows. Here, stop. Should we start cracking them down? Well, get out there. Oh, mine, can I have the bed, huh?

Oh, it's really nice, that clown. It's so cute. Oh, look at that. Oh, Terry, did you make that one? Yeah, I made that one. Oh, Terry, that's beautiful, that sun. Welcome to Zoom News and Weather, presenting important issues from around the country, straight from you. Today, our reporters have news from New Jersey, Illinois, and New York. Take it away, reporters. And in Libertyville, Illinois, Peter Phillips reports, I wrote to the President of the United States. All he wrote back was,

Dear Peter, the President enjoys hearing from you. He didn't even answer any of my questions, none. I don't think it's fair. Just because I'm a kid doesn't mean I don't know anything. Karen? Thank you, Ron. Well, Ward Geyer in Paramus, New Jersey, has a very good question for all kids. He asks, quote, quote, how old would you like to be and why, unquote. Back to you, Chris. Thank you, Karen. Ward, we have some answers to those very questions, don't we, Accardio? Indeed we do, Chris. Today's weather is whether you would like to be a child or an adult. Here are what Zoom viewers around the country had to say. Child or adult? I don't know. I guess I'd rather be an adult because you've got so much more privileges. Because if you're a kid, you get people bossing you around. If you're an adult, you get to do the bossing around. An adult? Because I think an adult, you'd be more sophisticated and you know more what you'd still be learning in life.

I'd rather be an adult because I would like to be a professional baseball player. I'd rather be an adult because you can help yourself. If you're a child, you need somebody to help you. Well, I don't know. I'm a child because you get more fun, like riding a bike or skateboarding. I'd rather be a child because, I don't know, there's so many more responsibilities when you're an adult and everything, and you get to be so free when you're a kid. I'd rather be a child because I'm having fun at it. And that's today's Zoom news and weather. What's happening in your town? I am a city child. I live on the tip-top floor of an old apartment building with a very quickie door. I am a city child.

I live on the tip-top floor of an old apartment building with a very quickie door. City child, what you doing now, city child? Where you going now, city child? What you up to now? Hello?

This is a goodie sent in by Tangie Dubose of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. What you do is you take some mayonnaise and you take some banana,

put it in between two pieces of bread, and there you have it, a banana sandwich. What kind of sandwich would you make if you could make any kind of sandwich you wanted to? We tried it, and this is what happened. I need some mayonnaise. Anyone want more pickles? Pass the mayonnaise, please. Where is it? Pass the mayonnaise. I have just invented the best sandwich ever made. Are you kidding? The Amy. Look at this so fun. Some Swiss cheese. I know what I'll do. First tomato. Bologna. Left off tomatoes. What is this? Aren't I finished? No. Cottage cheese. Cheese, bologna, salami. Oh, this is cheese. Radishes. Cheese is gross. I like cheddar. Oh, it's porky. Mine is good. Not bad. My mouth can hardly fit this sandwich. Amy's having trouble with her mouth? Unbelievable. It's big enough. Go ahead, John. Here comes the first bite, everybody. This is television history.

A one. A two. I'm chopped. Open your mouth. What is that? I took a bite. Hooray! Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Oh, thank you. Uh, Alice, as the newest member of our little tea party, why don't you sing a song for us?

Hold them three or four inches apart and about a foot from your face. Look between them at the wall beyond. When your fingers are almost touching, what do you see floating between them?
