What do lady parachute testers, Chinese-American telephone operators, and naval fire fighters have in common? They're all in this episode of the Paramount series, produced by Jerry Fairbanks and narrated by Ken Carpenter.
It's a random series of occupations, some of them unusual, like the guy who runs a cafe in Kentucky and whittles stuff he uses to decorate it, and some of them absolutely commonplace for the era, like the telephone operators at the Chinatown exchange in San Francisco (although they do have to be bilingual).
Carpenter attempts to be folksy a few times. It all sounds poorly scripted and deliberately precious to me.
