Transcript

Family Theatre presents Ruth Hussey and Stephen McNally. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Big Day starring Stephen McNally. And now here is your hostess, Ruth Hussey. Thank you, Tony LaFrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives, if we're to win

peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world. Family Theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Now to our transcribed drama Big Day, starring Stephen McNally as Jim. It started with what I thought was a toothache. That was last Sunday just a week ago.

I had taken Jimmy to the double header against Cleveland and when we got home, there was a plate of cold chicken in the icebox, and a note on the kitchen table from Eleanor. And Lily and Droban from third to this afternoon and mom's got another for headache, so I'm going over to help with dinner.

Be home by ten. Georgia drive me. P.S. don't eat all the chicken. It was still light when Jim and I finished the dishes and I told him he could ride his bike to late 30.

After he left I went out back and turned on the sprinklers. The rose climber that Eleanor had put in last fall had almost doubled in size. The blooms were yellow, almost a dozen of them. Some as big as your fist.

I let the sprinklers run for about ten minutes, then I went back into the house and looked through the Sunday paper. Jimmy didn't get home until almost nine, so I balled him out and sent him to bed.
