TV Radio Mirror (Jul - Dec 1956)

r lyzing such cryptic queries as that voiced by Theresa, over breakfast one morning. "Guess what I did for you yesterday, Daddy!" "So I'm to guess what you did for me yesterday?" reiterated Danny. "I'm sure it's something nice, but how much is it going to cost me?" "Now, Daddy! I made arrangements for you to appear at Assembly in school. They needed somebody to give a little show, and I knew you'd want to do it." Danny rolled his chocolate eyes to the sky in a martyr's patient pantomime before he dropped the act and grinned at his thirteen-year-old daughter. No matter how overwhelmed Danny may be by his professional responsibilities, he accords a Number One priority to his family's needs. "I'm always glad to lend a hand to worthy causes by working a benefit, so what kind of a parent would I be if my own kids couldn't call on me when there's a need?" he wants to know rhetorically. Of course there are times when . . . well, to illustrate: Danny answered the telephone one morning to be informed by an efficient young female voice that Mr. Thomas should report at the Los Angeles Coliseum (which seats somewhat more than one hundred thousand people) at such-and-such an hour on such-and-such a day. Mr. Thomas would be seated, he was told, on the dais along with Dr. Fred Fagg, President of the University of Southern California, Dr. Frank Baxter, one of the University's most distinguished faculty members, and Governor and Mrs. Goodwin J. Knight. Danny Thomas, he discovered, was to introduce Governor Knight to the assembled multitude. Swallowing hard, Danny asked if the aller was certain she had dialed the right Mr. Thomas. "Oh, yes. Your daughter, Margaret, volunteered you for this job and gave us our telephone number," was the swift esponse. Margaret, now eighteen, is a student at the University of Southern California and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. Some shifting of schedules and rearranging of commitments was necessary so that Danny could clear the time, a fact that he mentioned to his eldest upon their eeting that night at dinner. She looked at him with shining eyes, in which mischief and affection were blended, and observed, "I was sure you could manage it, Daddy. Now . . . what suit are you going to wear?" Another project dear to Danny's heart — s practically everyone knows — is the St. Jude Hospital to be built in Memphis. At resent the building fund is still around 250,000 short of its one-and-a-quarter illion-dollar goal. Because Danny wants he hospital to be "of the people, by the eople, and for the people," he hopes to ollect the final funds in one-dollar bills rom kindly folk scattered here and there " roughout the U.S. He says with fierce ride, "I'm a beggar for St. Jude, and I'm >roud of it. Naturally, the reason I would ather receive one-dollar gifts from two undred and fifty thousand individuals, n preference to accepting that sum from >ne donor, is that the more people there re who learn about St. Jude, the happier '11 be. And the happier they'll be, too." This plan is going to take time, but hen — what's time to Danny? His friends elieve that he owns an "hour stretcher" nd that, even though someone should vent a twenty-eight-hour (if you'll exuse the expression) day, Danny would till be able to pack about thirty hours' orth of activity into the time. In addition to everything else, Danny will always be able to "Make Room for Daddy" . . . but sometimes it will be on Panic Street. Odorless cream removes dark facial hair safely... in minutes!
