It’s Springtime for Fred and his gang as he turns to the highlights from the world of news. Texaco News looks at topics surrounding the circus.

Kenny Baker sings Amapola.
Al Goodman plays a musical transition as Portland joins Fred. She talks about Fred appearing on another radio show, and the cast think he’s leaving for good. Can Fred convince everyone that his appearances elsewhere isn’t the end of this program? Will Fred respond to the call of leaving radio for the theater? Win Murray sings, Play Play Vena.
Time for the round table discussion. Participants include: A superintendent at the race track. A female college student studying Physical Anthropology. A Jackson Heights businessman. The question relates to Easter, and womens hats. Should women wear wild fashions, or a more practical style hat? Kenny Baker sings, The Things I Love.
Who wouldn’t envy the life of a radio comedian. Just talk over the air and get laughs. Fred presents a behind the scenes look at the life a radio comedian goes through. Dealing with sponsors, and their expectations. Keeping up good ratings, and more.
