Rain Tonight

Suspense. And the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William N. Robson. No amount of well-intentioned euphemisms can change the fact that a prison, call the maximum or minimum security institution, call their inhabitants inmates, but the man on the inside knows better.

He's a convict, and he's in stir. And he never stops dreaming of getting out. The author of the tale of suspense you're about to hear knows this well. He spent five years of his life in San Quentin Penitentiary, and the story he tells is based on fact.

Listen, listen then as John McIntyre stars in Rain Tonight, which begins in just a moment. Another visit with Joe and Daphne Forsyth. Joe? Yeah, Daphne. Look at this story about savings bonds in the paper.

Yeah, what about it? Do you think that's the best way to tell people about savings bonds? Why not? Look, see, it says here that savings bonds are a guaranteed investment. Right now they pay off at the rate of four bucks at maturity for every three bucks invested.

Uh-uh. You're not convinced? Mm-mm. Why not? No salesmanship. No salesmanship. What more do you need to know? Well, right now, more than 8 million Americans are buying saving bonds regularly through the payroll savings plan.

So? So what? That's what I say, so what? Now look, Daphne, if millions of Americans are convinced that saving bonds are their best investment, not only financially, but for the future of their country, what the heck is bothering you?

Well, I think they could sell a lot more with salesmanship. You know, slogans and jingles. Listen, if you're spending more and saving less, try a savings bond. Oh boy. Or maybe a savings bond pay good like an investment should.
