First a look at this day in History.

Then The Adventures of Archie Andrews staring Bob Hastings, originally broadcast June 3, 1951, 73 years ago, The Economy Program.   Mr. and Mrs. Andrews have a disagreement about the cost of grocery shopping. Mr. Andrews knows just the way to save money. Buy everything three at a time! 

Followed by the news from 73 years ago, then Jack Benny, originally broadcast June 3, 1951, 73 years ago.  The last show of the season. Mahlon Merrick is introduced as the writer of all the singing commercials and music director of the program. The Sportsmen do not appear, so the rest of the cast sings the very clever commercial. 

Then Bob Hope, originally broadcast June 3, 1941, 83 years ago with guest star Humphrey Bogart.  Bob's opening monologue is about June weddings. Bob and guest Humphrey Bogart do a prison drama.

Followed by Fibber McGee and Molly, originally broadcast June 3, 1947, 77 years ago, Citizenship Test.  Fibber has no birth certificate, so he's going to study for his citizenship papers. 

Finally Claudia, originally broadcast June 3, 1948, 76 years ago, Dinner in the Kitchen.   Roger comes to dinner.
