and by public television stations, the Ford Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Here's a game called Dr. Doctor. One person who's called the doctor leaves the room so he can't see the other people. All the rest of the players stop by joining hands. Then they tangle themselves up, like by going over or under each other's arms until everybody's all twisted around. But the main thing is that nobody's allowed to let go of each other's hands. Now call the doctor in. The doctor has to untangle the circle without anybody's letting go of their hands. I think I'll be the doctor. That's good. That was a mess idea you had out there. Oh, that was a good one. Well, I think you should get over there. No, you have to hold hands and then tangles. It don't matter.

I'll go under you. You have to keep holding hands. I'll go up underneath here like this. Can we come? Yeah, come on. I'm in, doctor. I'm not doing anything. Oh, wow. This is bad enough. Hold on. What's the matter, doctor? Who's here is this? My leg! Hold it! Don't move! What's the matter, Dr. Martin? How did we get back? I see it. Oh, this is easy. I don't even see it. I see it. I see it, too. I see it. I'm not gonna move. I see! Hold on. Oh, you almost did it. Carmen, don't tell him! I see it. Bend down. No, it won't bend down. I think. Javi, I don't care. Can you get your legs under that? No, that won't work.

Yeah, as long as I can get my legs over. That's what I mean. No, that's worse. No, she can't do it. Oh, yeah. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. It's worse. She just almost did it. That's it. That's it. I know. I can get my legs over. I know, but... Or else... Can you do it? Or else, you go turn it on. Can you try it? I've been down as long as I can. Can you do it? Good. I'm glad. All right, I told you I could do it. Hey, you did it. I won't be a doctor. Come here, now, get back. Oh, my gosh. Are we back again in that hair-raising hotel? Can this be the zoom-in? It sure looks like it. Has anyone seen an important letter dressed to dear Blabby? Oh, my aching head.

Why did this have to happen to me? Let me find it. You have a problem. Are you looking for something? Tootsie, have you seen an important letter dressed to dear Blabby? No, I haven't. My readers, my public, they'll be so disappointed. That's terrible. Yeah. Tootsie, you sound like you have a cold. Isn't there a big performance tonight at the Zoom Inn? Yes, me and Ricky have an act all worked up, and now I can't even see a nose. Oh, too bad. But that's what I really call bad luck. Did I hear someone mention bad luck? You sure did. Me too. I lost my guitar. You lost your guitar. Oh, no. And she lost her voice?

Will tonight's performance be a success? And for God's sakes, will the professor ever teach his dog Lucas some manners? Tune in for the next episode of As the World Zooms, and you probably won't find out. If you want to help us write As the World Zooms, we'll send you a Zoom card that tells you how to do it.

All you need to do is write to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. But remember to include a SASE. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope. I'm Renee Burke, and I live in Strongsburg, Nebraska. I've lived on the farm all my life. Or corn on your farm? My name is Himiko Takasawa. I come from Kawagoe City in Japan. I'm staying at Rene's three weeks. I like very much. To live on a farm, you have to work very hard. And you have different jobs. You usually do once or twice, or even three times a day. When it's been really hot, it's not too good of a day for eggs.

But when it's cool but not too cold, you usually get around 100 or even 130. We eat a lot of eggs for breakfast, dinner, supper, midnight snack. I have never had any store eggs, so I wouldn't even know what they look like. this is kind of a special summer for me because amiko is here and i have something to do all the summer while she's here and other summers i just well i do it all by myself chores and things in polk county it's been really dry and hot this year that they've called polk county the in a disaster area because there's a big drought going on. Most of the people around here use irrigation to keep their crops from burning. My father's irrigation comes from a well underneath the ground, and he irrigates 160 acres from just one well.

Once we get the pipes set down, we turn on the gates so that every row will be able to get water. And the water is going 24 hours a day this summer since there's such a big drought. I hope that we'll be able to save three-fourths of the crop. Since we live on a farm, I think the family's a lot closer. If we had to live in the city, I think that Dad would have to go and work someplace, and I think I'd really miss it. How many will we need for supper? There's mom, dad, Byron, and you and me. So we'll need five. We didn't get enough water, did this one all burn up? Most of my father's crop is feed corn for pigs and cattle. but we have a 16 rows of people corn that is sweet corn.

This is just for people, it's not for animals. See, when you put your finger in it, stuff squirts out. It's easy for Amiko to understand me, but it's hard for her to talk to somebody because she doesn't know the words. Do you have any animals on your farm? In Japan? No. Yes. Bad and goldfish. No dogs? Yes. What is your dog's name? No, I don't have dogs. In one way or the other, we understand each other. I think it's time for Amigo to eat. our dear heavenly father please bless his food that it may nourish and sink in our bodies and

help us in the gulf in gaining of knowledge and wisdom we pray that thy spirit may always be with us to guide and direct our lives we say these things in the name of thy son jesus christ amen It's nice to have Amigo around because it's like a sister and a friend also. And she's living with me instead of just staying overnight or something. What do you think of American food? You like American food? What do you like best? American? Besides Jell-O. Hamburgers? Typical American. When we go square dancing tonight, we're going to put one of Rene's square dance dresses on you so that Daddy can teach you how to square dance. Square dance. Won't that be fine? It's like girls have to do more than the boys do.

Maybe in a few years, I'll be able to go back and see Hamiko at her own home in Japan. And I'll know what it feels like for Hamiko to be here. Hi, Farmer. Gosh, there sure are a lot of flies around here. Don't you ever shoot them?

No, we just let them go barefoot. Well, last one Saturday, something happened. When I brought my dog out to go outside, I put her on a leash because sometimes I don't put her on a leash. and um we walked out on the porch right and she was looking over across the street you know she likes to run across the street and it's a bunch of rocks she likes to bark at you know because she thinks she barks at the rocks she thinks uh there's cats behind her or something you know she barks at them and so i brought her out on the porch and um she was looking around you know really got excited saw all the kids playing around so i walked her down the steps she was gentle and everything command you know yeah she listened to me yeah and um so we were at the bottom of the steps and then all of a sudden one of the kids yeah you know you go oh wow you know and then she gets really jumpy and she's pulling and pulling you know we got a big long driveway

and she runs down that driveway so fast i was whistling for her and everything you mean she just suddenly broke right yeah she just i didn't know what happened she just went like that you sort of and you know I was whistling for she slowed down but then she speeded up again and then up on a little ridge like our driveway is blind right and so the car was coming by and about 45 miles an hour Zelda didn't see the car and the car didn't see Zelda and they just sort of you know I got her up she started walking and running then she just fell she just fell so I called our friend that was in the house and we put her in the car drove her to uh a vet you know and the doctor wasn't there and i ran across the street to my uh mother's shop and and told her she didn't get nervous as much as i did because i was really close to her to zelda she was a nice pet she was a doberman and then when did she tell she uh a friend that was working there with my mother uh she showed our

friend he showed her friend a place where they'll treat dogs you know better one and she died on arrival well you've just heard my zoom trauma it's nice to have friends that listen to your problems like losing a pet I'll bet you have problems that other people might be interested in did you feel bad when you move to another neighborhood or enter junior high let us know so the next zoom drama can come from you. well let's give it a try over side behind side over side behind side okay

the next step is that um you take your right foot step forward on it hop move forward on your left foot, hop, and then back, two, three, four. Here's the second part of the dance. This time we're going to the right. Right, together, right, together, turn, two, three, together. Oh, that's not bad. Okay. Babe, you belong over here. Now let's do the second half. All right. That doesn't matter. Okay. Step to the right, put your right arm way up in the air. Step to the left, and put your left arm way up in the air. Okay, now bend over and stand four times right left right left but at the same time we have to clap and straighten up as we go so it's right left right left okay let's try that step to the right right arm whip the air step to the left and put our left arm way up in the air right left right together right together turn two feet

Together, right, left, right, right, right, right, right. Ora, ora, Nicola ! Ora, ora Nicola ! Ora, ora Nicola ! Oraaa ! Ora Nicola !

Have you heard about the successful tree surgeon who has several branch offices? Hi, gorgeous George. Hey, George. Hey, horse. Hey, horse. Oh, wow. Look out on the wood! Oh, sorry. Who chopped it up? I'd hate to, yeah. My name is Chris Siebel. I'm in a special program this summer in Old Stubridge Village. Sherbridge Village is an old town that it was like in the 18th century.

In the summer program, I do the stuff that the kids in the 18th century might have done. John Englund is a guy that's helping me work on the farm this week. He works here and explains to the tourists how they would work back then. Yeah, sometimes there's about 5,000 people here on good weather days. it's amazing that the oxen work as good as they do when john tells them to do something if you treat them right they'll learn to really obey you

we're going to go get some manure what we're going to do today is take it off that pile where we would clean out the barn we put it there but you can't put green manure like that on a hayfield or pasture you put it on real heavy and uh it'll kill the grass so what we do is we pile it and we let it rot for about a year and then uh then it's crumbly and dark and you can spread it and it'll fertilize the pasture and at the same time it won't kill or smother the grass so where is that pile it's down by the edge of the woods out of the way you can't miss it I've got a feeling I'm making the whole wider. Back in the 1800s, men had to know how to work on the farm and be a craftsman, too. This week I'm making a mallet.

Believe it or not, it takes three hours to make a mallet, to make its head and to make the handle. Hold it right up against your body so that it doesn't move. I can't do it because I'm too tall. Yes. That's it. Just try to take off a little bit at one time. I like to work with my hands, and I like to feel the wood and smell it. The wood's harder down there? Yeah. It feels rougher. In the cabinet shop, I work with the lathe. the lathe is a machine that runs by foot power you put a piece of wood into it and then you shape it what you what the shape you want it to be not much not much it was fun to work with the lathe because you chip off the wood and i like the sound of the lathe makes when the metal is rubbing up against the wood. Today we're having a lunch called a nooning. I like to cook over

the fire rather than over the stove. Like cooking over fire, you have to use your own sense of time because you don't have a timer to tell you when it's done. You really have just use your own judgment let's try that song we were singing yesterday okay all in a row four and twenty kiddlers all in a row this week has taught me the things that they would have done back in the 1800s when i grow

up i'd like to work here for a month or so to try it out i think i'd like to do more with my hands and with my power and i know if i don't like it i can always go back to the 20th century again yes hey do you know it's round and green and it's covered with blue hair all over his body and his scally claws and weighs 5 000 pounds and goes peckety peck peck nothing Let's go.
