A Logic Named Joe

We delay the start of this program to bring you a special bulletin. From the NBC News room in New York, truckloads of U.S. fighting men are rolling north from Tajan Korea to reinforce South Korea's battered army, which still holds Suwan and its vital airstrip.

The first American ground troops flown in from Japan, they're now approaching the combat zone. Meanwhile, the North Korean Communists report that American planes have bombed their capital of Pyongyang three times today. Be tuned to your NBC station for the later news.

Adventures in time and space told in future tense. Dementia! All our listeners are brief forward before tonight's adventure in the world of future. Beginning next week, Dementia X moves to a new time on Friday evenings instead of Saturdays.

In the Eastern Time Zone it will be heard at 9 o'clock Friday's Eastern Daylight Saving Time. In other zones please consult your local newspapers to learn the new time of the program. Now, tonight's venture into the world of tomorrow.

A most unusual story about a logic named Joe, and a man named Frank, and of how he saved civilization. It was on the third day of August that Joe came off the assembly line. On the fourth, Lorraine came into town.

And that afternoon, I saved civilization. Lorraine's a blonde I was crazy about once. And Joe was a new 1940-74 model logic that I got stored away down in a cellar. And how do I save civilization?

I save it by keeping Joe down in a cellar. You are listening now to a voice from the future. The voice of Frank Caldwell, head servicemen for the Logic's Corporation. Makers of the machine that does everything for you.
