Quota Of Sugar

On Allen's Alley, folks are asked a simple question: "How are you doing with your sugar ration these days?" Senator Bloat and Pablo Eathepeaches give their answers. Then, guest Norman Corwin stops by to show how he makes sound effects for The Columbia Workshop. Fred puts on a funny version of the Jack and Jill story, which he calls "One By Allen, The Sequel To Twenty-Six By Corwin." The show ends with a reminder: "Dead men carry no pails."
