Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theater'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, for our families and peace for the world. Family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family.

And now do I transcribe drama, the invasion, starring Frank Lovejoy as Dave. Most died in the world reporters don't care much for radio and when you think about it the reasons are pretty good one. Radio gets the news out first. You'll hear story of a news event on the air usually about two hours before it hits the streets on the front page. That doesn't help

newsstand sales much. Me? I like radio even though I used to work for a whole chain of newspapers. I wasn't a reporter though. I was a science editor. And that's why I got the story first. The story about the end of civilization. The way we know it.

It began a few days ago. I was sitting at my desk in the city room of the Clarion reading an article by Willie Lay in the current galaxy when the call came in. Hey, burn.

Yeah. The guy in the phone says he's Alexander Whalen. The Alexander Whalen? That's what he says. Think you better take it. Oh, wait a minute. Sounds pretty excited about something, but I'll be darned if I can make out the terminology he's using.
