Oh, my God. ¶¶ If you'd like to learn
how to make a water wheel, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Zoom, and we'll send you a Zoom card. Here's a recipe me and my sister like to make. It's called fruit salad. What you need is... One peach sliced and pitted, one pear all sliced up, one apple all sliced up, one orange peeled, two carrot sticks peeled, one celery stick, one half lemon, and one small can of whole berry cranberry sauce. What you do is you take the peach and you cut it up and put it in the bowl. Then take a pear and slice that up.
Then take your apple slices and put them in the bowl. and take the orange and put it into sections and put that in the bowl. Then take the carrot sticks and the celery sticks and slice them up into small pieces and put those in the bowl. Then mix the fruit and vegetables together. Then put in the juice of one half lemon. And this can of whole berry cranberry sauce.
And mix it up. Then serve it. Each week at this time, Zoom invites you to try it at home. Here's something you can try at home. Sent in by Keith Robertson of Swords Creek, Virginia. Try to tie a bow knot with a piece of string without using your thumbs. I'm going to use Lori's wrist. I'm thinking of that word that you use.
what word it's when you get the victory you say a certain word hooray um i'm doing it i'm doing it she did it now where's the present i did it Ear-to-ear! It's me! I'm nursing my hair! It looks like we're necking! Okay! Need a hit! Need a hit! I got it! Elbow-to-elbow! Oh, that's hard! Shoulder-to-elbow! Uh, got it! Yeah, my tail! I can't see the thing in there! Yeah! Uh, hand to nose. Oh! Tell me when they find. Yes, finger to nose. Hand to nose.
Ah! Elbow and knee. Ah! Whoa! I can't expect it to be there. I can't expect it to be there. I can't expect it to be there. Ah! It doesn't like me. Foot to hand. No, I can do it. Pick this leg up. All right. You have to keep this here. You have to keep that here. All right. I'm on a seafood diet. Really? Yes, whenever I see food I eat it Hi, I'm Mary Ellen Rose, and I live in Gloucester, Mass., and I play the bagpipes. I always wanted to be in any kind of a band anyway, but when my sister Dawn brought her
bagpipes so that was it I just had to try them playing the bagpipes it's really complicated because you gotta have a lot of wind and when you do have enough ones you get this bag really blown up high I had like this until you can't get any other wind into it Blowing is only part of it because you have to be able to blow the mouth nail and push with your elbow like this. It's really hard to get the coordination down. Besides having to be able to blow with your mouth and push with your elbow really hard,
you've got to be able to get the coordination of marching. that's the way you're supposed to do it without you know falling down or anything our band's like a home band like we're just like all friends we sort of kick around with each other I'm being dis-disciplined a little bit, but most important is not being strict. That's completely out. Being happy and enjoying what we're doing is really what's important. What I'm thinking about when I'm marching in the parade is mostly to keep in step and
to look good. You're not supposed to look over to the side. I don't really see anybody but the person in front of me because, like, everybody's so much taller. My favorite part is entertaining people. You know, if they're really sad, it sort of cheers them up. It gets them in a really good mood. It makes them happy and everything. When I'm watching Gloucester, everybody knows you.
And you start laughing, and you can't blow the pipes up. But you try and look best in Gloucester, because everybody knows you. After a good parade dinner, I really feel really good, because I sort of entertain people. It's like giving them a show or something, but it's really good because we're not that great, but we're as good as we can. Tell me something. Is it bad luck to be followed by a cat? It depends. Are you a man or a mouse?
just say it out loud money money no I want we gotta jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton jump down turn around pick a bale of timothy jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton Forget it.

Description
Series Description
"ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
