As host of the birthday program, I want to say a sincere thanks to our radio audience. Thank you for the wonderful response you have given the program during the past two years. After two years, I know I don't have to tell

you what family theater is all about. But just in case you're a new listener, we have a play this week that just about tells the whole story. It's called God and a Red Scooter. That's right? God and a Red Scooter, starring Dennis O'Keefe and Donna Reed.

Sleep is beautiful. Sleep is a soft hand smoothing the frowns and threats on the tired faces of men. Sleep is a mother hand rocking the cradle of the world. And do you want to know something?

I pity the man who does not know how to sleep. Consider little Eddie five years old. I love little children like Eddie. Eddie knows how to sleep. Before he went to bed tonight, he was having a talk, all by himself down there in the garden.

This is the way he spoke this afternoon as he sat dropping pebbles into a milk bottle. You know what I said, Gon? You know what I said to Daddy? I said, God did hear me, that's what I said.

And God, remember when I said, please give me a red scooter like Stevie and Tony's gone? Remember when I said that about the scooter? Didn't you hear me, God? Huh? Didn't you? Look, Gon, I got lots of pebbles.
