Summer's day you and I kiss. <v Rhonda>hahaha. <v Rhonda>Oh. <v Bobby>Mm hmm. <v Rhonda>Cut it out Bobby, we've been through this before. <v Rhonda>I told you, I just don't know if I'm ready to get involved again. <v Bobby>All I want is a kiss. I'm not asking you to marry me. <v Rhonda>Well, one thing leads to another. <v Rhonda>And I've been reading articles about women who are divorced, and it says that a lot of <v Rhonda>them just jump right back into another relationship with a man before they learn how to <v Rhonda>do anything for themselves. <v Bobby>Well, some things you just can't do by yourself. <v Rhonda>[laughs ] Well, I heard dishwater is just all the thing this fall. <v Bobby>[hums]. <v Speaker>[phone rings] <v Rhonda>Saved by the bell. haha ouch! <v Rhonda>Hello? Oh, hello, Ronald. <v Rhonda>I'm fine, thank you. How are you?
<v Rhonda>Oh, it's too bad I can't do anything about that. <v Rhonda>Is that what you call me up for, to ask me how I'm doing? <v Rhonda>So you've been thinking things over? Well, I've been doing my best not to think about it. <v Rhonda>No, I can't see you now. I'll see you on the 15th. <v Rhonda>When you come to pick up Cheryle, I know, I know. <v Rhonda>I always used to say talk more, but that was when we were married. <v Rhonda>Besides, we're talking now, aren't we? <v Rhonda>Don't you dare come over here. <v Rhonda>I've got company. And besides that, I don't want to see you. <v Rhonda>Ronald, you heard what I said- Ronald. <v Rhonda>He's in some phone booth somewhere. <v Rhonda>Been sitting in a bar getting all bummed out. <v Rhonda>Says he wants to talk to me, figure things out. <v Rhonda>Well, if he hasn't figured them out by now, he's never gonna figure out. <v Rhonda>And I told him not to come over here, but I think he's gonna come anyway. <v Bobby>Yeah, well, I'll take care of old Ronald when he gets here. <v Bobby>He wants to talk. He can just talk to me. <v Rhonda>I appreciate it, Bobby, but this is something I'm going to have to handle myself. <v Rhonda>I'm sorry, but I- I really would rather that you leave.
<v Bobby>Look, I'll just wait in the other room till he's gone. <v Rhonda>No, I think you better go. <v Rhonda>We'll go out Friday night and have a good time. <v Rhonda>Meanwhile, remember this. <v Bobby>Let's do that again. <v Rhonda>Friday. <v Rhonda>Uh, nice of you to stop by, Bobby. <v Rhonda>Um, I'll be seeing you soon. Good night. <v Bobby>Nice shirt. <v Ronald>A lot better than the one you're wearing. <v Rhonda>Good night. And as for you, Ronald Jeffries. <v Rhonda>You know, good pig head. I've told you not to come over here. <v Rhonda>I told you I had company. <v Ronald>If I had known you had company like that I'd have come even sooner. <v Ronald>What was he doing here? <v Rhonda>Well, that's none of your business, is it? <v Rhonda>What the hell do you want with me? <v Rhonda>What's this you want to talk about? You got five minutes to spit it out. <v Ronald>Well, I want to hear it from the top. <v Ronald>I want you to tell me why you wanted out. <v Rhonda>Ronald we've been through this time and again. <v Rhonda>I can't think of any new ways of saying it. <v Ronald>Well, I still don't understand it.
<v Ronald>So I want to hear it again. <v Rhonda>All right. All right. <v Rhonda>I'll lay it out for you one more time. <v Rhonda>But you better pay attention because it's gonna be the last time. <v Rhonda>First of all, you didn't want me to change. <v Rhonda>You want me to stay the same girl I was when you married me, 16 year old girl, Ronald's <v Rhonda>little girl. Well, when your little girl became a mother, she started to change. <v Rhonda>I have my own little girl. <v Rhonda>Shoot, I was taking care of myself and little Cherlotte Lynn both. <v Rhonda>Which is something you didn't do much of. <v Rhonda>So there I was trying to grow up and change. And there you are trying to have me still <v Rhonda>stay your little girl. <v Ronald>Well you used to like being my little girl. <v Rhonda>Sure I did. But things change. <v Rhonda>People change. <v Ronald>Oh yeah, they change. All right. They turn against you. <v Rhonda>Oh I didn't turn against you, Ronald. I just turned away from you. <v Rhonda>I had to. <v Rhonda>You didn't want me to grow up and be a regular person. <v Rhonda>When I wanted to go out and get a job or go back to school. <v Rhonda>You didn't like it because you thought it'd take me away from you. <v Ronald>I was just scared of losing you. That's all.
<v Rhonda>Well, maybe you shoulda tried accepting my changes instead of fighting me all the time. <v Ronald>I got nothing now. <v Ronald>Nothing but a dumb job driving a dumb truck. <v Ronald>When I'm not working, I sit in my room and I watch TV. <v Ronald>Or I go to a bar and drink beer. <v Ronald>Wherever I go, there's nothing. <v Ronald>There's nothing in my room. There's nothing on TV and there's nothing in bars. <v Ronald>I've never been lonely like this, Rhonda. <v Rhonda>Nothing in your beer mug either, I bet. <v Rhonda>Why don't you do something with yourself? <v Rhonda>Why don't you start reading or take up a hobby or somethin? <v Rhonda>I've been reading. I've been reading these articles by this psychologist about marriage <v Rhonda>and divorce. <v Ronald>A What? <v Rhonda>Psychologist, that's a doctor that studies what goes on in people's heads. <v Rhonda>And listen here, this reminds me of you. <v Rhonda>Some men resist divorce because they have a fear of upsetting the status quo. <v Rhonda>They fear change. They want so badly to keep things as they are that they <v Rhonda>would prefer a bad relationship to no relationship.
<v Rhonda>Well, that's you Ronald. <v Ronald>What's that guy know about me, huh? <v Rhonda>Well, listen here. Listen to this. There are those who have a terror of loneliness. <v Rhonda>They dread being alone. <v Rhonda>They have no confidence in their ability to attract others to them. <v Rhonda>That's you too. Shoot Ronald, if it's a woman you want. <v Rhonda>I'm sure you can attract one. <v Ronald>Rhonda, it's you I want. <v Ronald>I can't make it without you. <v Rhonda>Like heck, you can't. You're just not used to being on your own. <v Rhonda>Before we got married, you lived with your mom in her house. <v Rhonda>You just don't know how to live by yourself. <v Ronald>Come on Rhoda. Take me back, it'll be different I promise. <v Rhonda>No, stop it. <v Ronald>No, come on Rhoda, I'm not gonna stop it. [Rhonda: No. No!] Rhonda you used to like it <v Ronald>when I kissed you! <v Rhonda>That was before! <v Ronald>Rhoda, come here. <v Rhonda>Let go of me! <v Ronald>I'm not gonna let go of you. Come on! <v Ronald>Rhonda, dammit, I love you. You hear me? I love you. <v Rhonda>You love me so much you're gonna beat me up to prove it, huh? <v Rhonda>Well, you just go ahead. You beat me up. <v Rhonda>You show me how much you love me. Show me how tough you are. <v Rhonda>You're worst off than I thought, you make me sick. <v Ronald>I wasn't going to beat you up.
<v Ronald>I only wanted-. <v Rhonda>I don't care what you want. <v Rhonda>It's too late. It's over, it's been over for a long time. <v Rhonda>Now, you just get out of here before I scream my head off. <v Speaker>Gloria, get up now, baby. <v Speaker>It's time for you to start your day. <v Speaker>You always was one to oversleep, but it's time for you to get up now. <v Speaker>Come on baby, you got to start your day before it's too late. <v Speaker>Come on, get up now baby. Get up.
<v Speaker>Get up now Gloria. <v Speaker>Get up. <v Speaker>Come on baby. Get up Gloria. <v Gloria>Martin, Darrell come here quick. <v Martin>Whats the matter? <v Gloria>I found Oliver with a bag over his head.
<v Gloria>Do something quick. I think he stopped breathing. <v Gloria>Give him artificial-. <v Darrell>Artificial respiration, calm down, sis calm down. Just grab his nose. <v Martin>Is he breathing now? He's breathing, man. Come on Alva, come on Alva. <v Speaker>?inaudible? <v Martin>God, he's alright. <v Darrell>Come here, come here let me just, just make sure. <v Martin>Oh, boy. <v Gloria>Oh, baby. You're gonna be all right. Oh, baby, you scared me. <v Martin>How'd you know he was in there, Gloria? <v Gloria>She told me. <v Martin>Come here man. You ok? <v Gloria>I dreamed I saw a woman telling me to get up. <v Martin and Darrell>A Woman? <v Gloria>Yeah. <v Gloria>She had on a old fashioned looking blue and white dress <v Gloria>and she was standing right there by the closet. <v Martin>Darrell, did you bring home some woman here, boy? <v Darrell>No I didn't bring home no woman. Gloria, are you sure you saw a woman? <v Gloria>Mm hmm. And she's somebody I've seen before, Darrell. <v Gloria>She was like a spirit and she had on this old dress. <v Darrell>Maybe you dreamed it all. Or you probably saw a ghost.
<v Martin>Yea honey, you probably had a nightmare. <v Gloria>Well, whatever it was, it saved Oliver's life. <v Martin>Correction sweetheart. <v Martin>Darrell saved Oliver's life. <v Martin>Darrell, my man, I take back any of the bad things I ever said about you. <v Darrell>Give me a break. <v Gloria>Come on baby. You goin' to sleep with mom and daddy tonight. <v Speaker>[music plays] <v Jonas Chaney>I'm Jonas Chaney. The anchorperson here at another page, news and features. <v Jonas Chaney>We'll return to check up on Darrell and Ronda later. <v Jonas Chaney>Right now, we're going to work on a skill you've already practiced. <v Jonas Chaney>Reading for details, but this time we'll be looking for facts and details in <v Jonas Chaney>materials that are a bit more complex and more difficult to read. <v Jonas Chaney>To review what you've learned before. <v Jonas Chaney>When you're reading for details, you need to watch for specific information.
<v Jonas Chaney>These details may be names of people or places or numbers, dates and events. <v Jonas Chaney>You can learn to spot these details by asking yourself questions as you read. <v Jonas Chaney>Who or what is this about? <v Jonas Chaney>What is happening? When did it happen? <v Jonas Chaney>Where did it happen? Why did it happen? <v Jonas Chaney>What kind of thing happened and how many? <v Jonas Chaney>Reporters use these questions when they're writing stories. <v Jonas Chaney>You can use them when you're reading. <v Jonas Chaney>Watch for the answers to them as we go through our news items. <v Jonas Chaney>Now for the news. <v Jonas Chaney>A new government report says that black people are usually the victims of crimes <v Jonas Chaney>committed by other blacks. The study cites various causes for black on black crime, <v Jonas Chaney>continued racism, high unemployment, especially among younger blacks, poor housing and <v Jonas Chaney>health care, drug addiction, a prison system that turns up trained criminals and lack <v Jonas Chaney>of protection by police. Many black people, the report said, see police as being from <v Jonas Chaney>outside the community with little concern for black lives or property. <v Jonas Chaney>Among the cures recommended were full employment, better education, an end to <v Jonas Chaney>the illegal drug market, reform of the prison system, and more community involvement in
<v Jonas Chaney>preventing and reporting crime. <v Jonas Chaney>Here's a what question about that report. <v Jonas Chaney>It has two correct answers. <v Jonas Chaney>What are some of the causes of black on black crime? <v Jonas Chaney>A. High employment. <v Jonas Chaney>B racism. <v Jonas Chaney>C police protection. <v Jonas Chaney>D. Community involvement. <v Jonas Chaney>E. High unemployment. <v Jonas Chaney>The two right answers are B and E, racism and high unemployment. <v Jonas Chaney>And another question on that same report. <v Jonas Chaney>This time it deals with why something happened. <v Jonas Chaney>So it is stated in a because form. <v Jonas Chaney>Prisons are a problem because they: A. <v Jonas Chaney>Are too crowded. B, are racist. <v Jonas Chaney>C, have too few guards. <v Jonas Chaney>D, are turning out trained criminals. <v Jonas Chaney>E, are outside the community. <v Jonas Chaney>The answer is D. Prisons are a problem because they are turning out trained criminals.
<v Jonas Chaney>That's it for the news. Our first feature today is a report from our mechanic friend <v Jonas Chaney>Connie Clampett. <v Connie Clampett>I'm here waiting to fill up my car and empty my pocketbook. <v Connie Clampett>But here's a report on a way we might avoid this problem in a few years. <v Connie Clampett>Some companies are at work on solar cells that convert sunlight into electrical <v Connie Clampett>energy. They plan to use these thin cells to run automobiles, <v Connie Clampett>buses and trains. <v Connie Clampett>Using solar energy would cut our use of oil. <v Connie Clampett>And this would reduce the pollution now caused by car exhaust. <v Connie Clampett>The solar cells would store electricity in batteries to provide power for <v Connie Clampett>cloudy days. <v Connie Clampett>Major oil companies have bought five of the nine companies that make the <v Connie Clampett>cells. Scientists say these cells are just five years <v Connie Clampett>away from being practical.
<v Connie Clampett>Maybe soon catching rays will mean more than just getting a tan. <v Jonas Chaney>Thanks, Connie, for shedding a little light on the subject. <v Jonas Chaney>We'll run Connie's report again so you can read it for yourself. <v Jonas Chaney>All right, tell me this. The report was about converting: A, electricity
<v Jonas Chaney>into sunlight, B, sunlight into electricity. <v Jonas Chaney>C, oil into electricity. <v Jonas Chaney>D. Coal into gas. <v Jonas Chaney>The answer is, B, sunlight into electricity. <v Jonas Chaney>Another question about Connie's report. <v Jonas Chaney>Cutting oil use will reduce pollution now caused by: A, sunlight, <v Jonas Chaney>B, electricity, C, car batteries. <v Jonas Chaney>D, car exhaust. <v Jonas Chaney>The answer this time is D. Car exhaust. <v Jonas Chaney>Dr. Felix Goode has our next report on the kiss of life. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Well, it's not exactly a kiss, but it can be even more rewarding. <v Dr. Felix Goode>I'm talking about artificial respiration. <v Dr. Felix Goode>I'm going to show you what to do about a person who has temporarily stopped breathing. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Look at this.
<v Dr. Felix Goode>Number one, place your hand under the neck and <v Dr. Felix Goode>tilt the head back to clear the air passage. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Number 2. Check for breathing. <v Dr. Felix Goode>If the chest doesn't rise and fall, pinch the nose shut <v Dr. Felix Goode>with one hand while supporting the neck with the other hand. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Number three, close your mouth over the person's mouth <v Dr. Felix Goode>and exhale with four quick breaths, not allowing the <v Dr. Felix Goode>person to exhale or breathe out. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Number four. Still pinching the nose. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Remove your mouth and listen for exhaling or breathing
<v Dr. Felix Goode>out. Number five. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Repeat the air exchange every five seconds or <v Dr. Felix Goode>until breathing begins. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Remember, keep the nose shut while you're breathing into the mouth <v Dr. Felix Goode>so the air won't escape through the nose. <v Dr. Felix Goode>By the way, it's called artificial respiration because you're breathing for someone else. <v Dr. Felix Goode>Respiration means breathing. <v Dr. Felix Goode>That's my helpful hint for the day. <v Jonas Chaney>And now for some questions about artificial respiration. <v Jonas Chaney>First, the head is tilted back to A, check for breathing. <v Jonas Chaney>B, clear air passage C. <v Jonas Chaney>Prevent exhalation. D. <v Jonas Chaney>Clean out the mouth. <v Jonas Chaney>It's B. The head is tilted back to clear the air passage. <v Jonas Chaney>Here's another one. What do you do with the person's nose?
<v Jonas Chaney>A, tilt it sideways. <v Jonas Chaney>B, breathe into it. <v Jonas Chaney>C, tilt it back. <v Jonas Chaney>D, pinch it shut. <v Jonas Chaney>This time the answer is D. Pinch it shut so air can't escape. <v Jonas Chaney>Time now for Leo gets letters, Leo. <v Leo Anders>Mr. H.T. Meehan of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, writes, Dear Leo, <v Leo Anders>can you tell me what a poltergeist is? <v Leo Anders>Some kind of spirit lives in my house and is always looking after me. <v Leo Anders>It quietly reminds me if I leave my stove or headlights on or <v Leo Anders>if I'm going on a trip and I'm about to forget my traveler's checks. <v Leo Anders>Friends say it must be a poltergeist. <v Leo Anders>What do you think? Oh, here's my reply to Mr. Meehan. <v Leo Anders>It isn't a poltergeist because a poltergeist is not usually helpful. <v Leo Anders>Poltergeist is German for noisey ghost.
<v Leo Anders>People claim poltergeists rattle windows, break dishes, ring bells, <v Leo Anders>slam doors, move furniture and even make small objects fly <v Leo Anders>across the room. Some families claim persistent poltergeists have <v Leo Anders>caused them to move. <v Leo Anders>Many people believe protective spirits live in their homes. <v Leo Anders>They say these spirits show up just in time to save somebody's life and they often <v Leo Anders>help solve problems. <v Leo Anders>The spirit in your house sounds more like a protective spirit than a poltergeist. <v Leo Anders>That's all today, folks. May all your ghosts be good ones. <v Jonas Chaney>Here's a question about Leo's ghost story. <v Jonas Chaney>Leo says that poltergeists are harmful, but that protective spirits: A, help people. <v Jonas Chaney>B, break dishes. <v Jonas Chaney>C, are noisy. <v Jonas Chaney>D, Make objects fly. <v Jonas Chaney>A, help people is the correct answer.
<v Jonas Chaney>I guess there are good ghosts and bad ghosts. <v Jonas Chaney>Now we have a more serious subject. An editorial opinion from our station manager, Joe <v Jonas Chaney>Holcomb. <v Joe Holcomb>Hello, I'm Joe Holcomb with now hear this, our editorial opinion of the day. <v Joe Holcomb>No one would deny this country has an energy crisis and an economic crisis to deal <v Joe Holcomb>with. But few people realize the two crises are connected. <v Joe Holcomb>Our use of energy affects our money problem and we believe things can be improved. <v Joe Holcomb>Our energy now comes from fossil fuels like oil and coal and gas. <v Joe Holcomb>They are called non renewable fuels because when they're gone, they're gone for good. <v Joe Holcomb>The more we use, the more expensive they become. <v Joe Holcomb>So it costs us more to drive, to stay warm, to cook our food. <v Joe Holcomb>We think a more reasonable alternative is to draw energy from the sun. <v Joe Holcomb>We are close to being able to heat our buildings, run appliances, even power cars with <v Joe Holcomb>solar energy. Once solar power is developed. <v Joe Holcomb>The price of energy will be the cost of the sun's rays, nothing.
<v Joe Holcomb>Solar power is renewable because it will last as long as the sun does. <v Joe Holcomb>Now we spend larger and larger chunks of money on energy. <v Joe Holcomb>But if we'd switch to solar power, we'd spend less on energy. <v Joe Holcomb>And this would help our economy. <v Joe Holcomb>That's now hear this. Thanks for listening. <v Jonas Chaney>In Mr. Holcomb's editorial. He expressed his opinion. <v Jonas Chaney>Here's a question about his opinion. <v Jonas Chaney>That editorial dealt with the relationship between which two crises? <v Jonas Chaney>A, government and fossils, b, solar and economic, <v Jonas Chaney>c, energy and economic. <v Jonas Chaney>D. Solar and energy. <v Jonas Chaney>E, Fossil and solar. <v Jonas Chaney>Mr. Holcomb's editorial dealt with C, the energy and economic crises. <v Jonas Chaney>And another question on that editorial, inflation is fueled by: A, <v Jonas Chaney>solar power. B, higher energy cost. <v Jonas Chaney>C, renewable fuels.
<v Jonas Chaney>D, cheap fossil fuels. <v Jonas Chaney>The answer this time is, B, higher energy cost. <v Jonas Chaney>And that's it for news and features for another page. <v Jonas Chaney>Let's check in now with Rhonda and Darrell. <v Jonas Chaney>See you next time. <v Linda>Well, Ronald, what's going on? <v Ronald>Not too much, Linda. What have you been up to lately? <v Linda>Well, just rolling down the road with that double deck of hogs out there going to market. <v Linda>What are you hauling? <v Ronald>I got a truckload of steel headed for Indianapolis. <v Ronald>Say, where's your old man? <v Linda>He ain't my old man anymore. We got ourselves a divorce. <v Ronald>Divorce, that's too bad. <v Linda>Not as far as I'm concerned. <v Ronald>Well, I- I just meant you and Roscoe. <v Linda>Yeah, yeah. Something about how we made such a great team, right? <v Linda>[Ronald: Yeah.] Well, I'll tell you, Ronald. I got tired of being second string.
<v Linda>See, Roscoe taught me everything he knew about trucking till I knew my way around to <v Linda>Selma almost as well as needed. <v Linda>So I told him, hey, I'd like to drive a rig on my own. <v Linda>He couldn't stand that. He said I changed. <v Linda>I said, of course I've changed. <v Linda>What did you want me to do? Stay the same? <v Linda>That's like, that's like, they wrote in those high school yearbooks. <v Linda>Remember, stay the same. <v Linda>Don't ever change. I didn't understand it back then. <v Linda>I don't understand it now. You've got to change. <v Linda>That's all there is to it. <v Ronald>Right. Relationships change. <v Ronald>People change. <v Linda>Roscoe wanted things to stay the same, because I think he's scared of stuff <v Linda>that's not familiar to him. <v Linda>So now he's kind of bored and he's lonely, but he's just not used to <v Linda>it, I guess. <v Ronald>Well, maybe he'll get over it after a while. <v Linda>Lord, I hope so. Then maybe he'd quit being such a weight on me. <v Linda>Draging me down whenever I see him.
<v Ronald>He shouldn't do that. <v Linda>He tried to get rough with me a couple of weeks ago. <v Linda>[Ronald: No.] Oh well, I put a stop that. <v Ronald>What did you do? <v Linda>I started to call the cops. <v Linda>[Ronald: Oh] I'd tell you at least there's one good thing about all this. <v Linda>We didn't have any kids. I think I'd go crazy if he was coming around to pick up the kids <v Linda>all the time. I couldn't stand to see him that much. <v Ronald>I see what you mean. <v Linda>Well, I gotta get rolling. <v Linda>It's been real nice talking to you, Ronald. You know, I think it's good for men and women <v Linda>to get together and talk about stuff like this, don't you? <v Ronald>Oh, yeah, sure thing Linda. <v Ronald>10- 4. <v Linda>Bye-bye. <v Ronald>Take care of yourself. <v Martin>Hey y'all, What's going on today? <v Darrell>Shh! <v Martin>Well, excuse me, I thought I lived here, but I must've made a wrong turn somewhere <v Martin>and ended up in the library. <v Darrell>Shh! <v Martin>What's going on here? <v Darrell>We're reading! I'm reading about EMT's, man. <v Martin>What, is that something you catch?
<v Darrell>No, it stands for emergency medical technician. <v Darrell>You know, one of those guys that rides around an ambulance saving people's lives? <v Darrell>[Martin: mm hmm] doing that artificial respiration on Oliver. <v Darrell>Made me think about it. And it says here that if I take a course for a month and pass a <v Darrell>test, I can be an EMT. <v Martin>Tell me Darrell, don't you have to have a high school education or something like that. <v Darrell>Yea, but it also says that I can get a high school equivalency degree. <v Martin>Look here, why don't you skip all that school work and get a factory job? <v Darrell>Man don't start now. <v Martin>Tell me something, what is my favorite ?study into being?. <v Gloria>I'm reading about dreams. <v Martin>Dreams? <v Gloria>Mm hmm, this psychologist says we dream things sometimes because we hear noises <v Gloria>but don't know we've heard them. <v Martin>What you reading that for Gloria? <v Gloria>I was wondering about that dream, Martin. <v Gloria>I must've heard Oliver while I was asleep and that made me dream about <v Gloria>that woman. Sure wish I could figure out where <v Gloria>I've seen her before.
<v Darrell>You know, I have dreams about women, too, but they don't have any <v Darrell>dresses on. And they're walking around these little [Gloria: Darrell! <v Darrell>Darrell!] shoes-. And I see these little-. <v Gloria>Darrell! <v Martin>[laughs] Gloria, I picked up the mail on the way in. <v Martin>This package is for you. Looks like it's from your aunt Helen. <v Gloria and Darrell>Aunt Helen? <v Darrell>We ain't heard from her in a long time. <v Darrell>How you doing man? <v Martin>How you feeling today, bro? <v Darrell>I'm OK. <v Martin>Want some tea? <v Darrell>Nah. <v Gloria>Aunt Helen says hello and sends her love to everybody. <v Gloria>[Darrell: Hello Aunt Helen] And she says she was going through some old family things <v Gloria>and found some stuff that used to belong to momma, including an old dress that was a <v Gloria>favorite when she was a young woman. <v Gloria>And some letters momma and daddy wrote to each other while they were courting. <v Darrell>Daddy was a Romeo. <v Darrell>Let me help you with this.
<v Martin>Gloria, what's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost. <v Darrell>Yeah sis, what's wrong? <v Gloria>That woman I dreamed about, the one that saved <v Gloria>Oliver's life, she had on this dress. <v Gloria>It was momma.

- Episode Description
- This episode of Another Page tells the story of Rhonda whose ex-husband, Ronald, persistently bothers her in attempts to rekindle their marriage. When she refuses, Ronald becomes aggressive. Ronald then talks to a woman truck driver, Linda, who describes her divorce which is strikingly similar to Ronald's and points out the flaws in her marriage that prevent them from ever getting back together. The other narrative in the story follows Gloria and her family. Gloria is awoken by a ghost just in time to save her child from suffocating. Her brother, Darrell performs artificial breathing on the child to bring him back. The next day, Darrell takes an interest in becoming an EMT and Gloria reads up on the psychology of dreams in order to better understand the woman who woke her up. They receive a package from their Aunt Helen, which leads them to discover that the woman in Gloria's dream was her mother.
- Series Description
- "ANOTHER PAGE is a series of fifteen, half-hour programs designed for adults whose reading skills need improvement. Each program is divided into three segments. The first and third segments are continuing 'soap operas' that feature the lives of Darrell, a 19-year-old, unemployed, black man, and of Rhonda, a white woman in her mid-twenties, who is recently divorced. These characters are designed to provide identification for viewing adults, and since each program features a problem and shows how reading can be used to help with that situation, viewers are motivated to learn to read. These programs can be used for open-air broadcast or on cassette in classrooms. "The middle segment of each program is the 'News and Features' section. Reading skills, such as reading for detail and drawing inference, are explained by host Jonas Chaney and a variety of correspondents in various reports. Reading passages appear on the screen, with practice questions following each passage. "Each program features a different reading skill and passages cover three categories of materials: practical reading, general reading and prose literature. The three student workbooks that accompany the series provide further instruction and reading practice in these skills."--1981 Peabody Awards entry form.
