Thus spent. End the producer of radios outstanding theater of thrills. The master of mystery and adventure. William N. Robeson. Fine feathers make fine birds. But on the contrary, all is not gold, it glitters. Also, hell hath no fury like a woman's scorned.
To the wisdom of these eternal verities, add another. Crime does not pay. Mix well with a great singer-turned-grammatic actress, and you have our suspense story, The World Rest Corpse, starring Ms. Margaret Whiting, which begins in exactly one minute.
Do you know the Social Security benefits to which you will be entitled when you separate from the service and take a civilian job? Here's a tip from Social Security. Everyone who works for a living knows that illness or injury may keep them from earning a living.
Today, more than nine out of 10 American workers are covered by social security. And each one should know that if he becomes severely disabled, he and his family may be eligible for monthly social security disability payments.
More than one million people are now receiving benefits each month under this program. For more information about social security, disability benefits, write to Social Security, Department 15, Hollywood 28, California, an ask for a free copy of booklet 29 called, If You Become Disabled.
