Creme Scribe. Your family theatre presents John Charles Thomas and Esther Williams. The mutual network in cooperation with family theatre and co-operated rings you, Man with a Plow, starring John Charles Thomas. To introduce the drama, you're hostess, Miss Esther Williams.

Thank you, Jean. Tonight we're happy to have an old friend of family theatre back with us again. John Charles Thomas. In a play written for us by Karl Niemorris. Mr. Thomas' role—well, perhaps I'd better tell you something about our story for this week first.

If you haven't heard of Jackson County, and if you've never heard of Bear Creek, you still may have heard of Noah Stevens. He is a giant of a man with the strength of three, full of honesty and integrity.

And on this golden afternoon, at the end of Indian Summer, with the hills already beginning to turn blue and cool. You can just barely make out a hulk of a man following two black mares. His voice is raised in song. This is Noah Stevens.

W You're the luckiest. You're the laziest mayor I got on the whole farm.

Get up, get up there. And don't think I don't know what you're thinking about either. Yes, sir. Low can be dreamed like a song can be stopped. Good day, Sadie. You've had nine holes on this farm on your own.

Good day, lady. You've had nine holes on this farm and you're only 12 years old. Come on. Come on. Don't you get lazy too, Bertha. You're only a five-year-old. Whoa! Look who's coming out to greet us.

Whoa, girl. Whoa, whoa, whoa, girl. Well, if it isn't Timothy John, aren't you a long way from home? Ha-ha, fishing! But all you'll get and bear trick this late is crawdads and carp. Can I write in your plow grandfather?
