Transcript

Family Theatre presents William Campbell and William Gargon. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents No Contest starring William Campbell. And now here is your host, William Gargon. Thank you, Tony LaFrault.

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 are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world.

I thought you said we had two more installations coming up next week. Well, I mean the profit on them. It takes three and a half, four days to wire a house like this. Well, that's as fast as anyone else does it.
