Transcript

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in. Sauspence. Listen now to No Hiding Place, starring Court Benson and Grace Matthews, and written especially for suspense by William N. Robeson. There's no hiding place down there, not when the gods of wrath loose their terrible swift sword.

Not when the hound of heaven carries his quarry down the curving lanes of space. Not when there's the bomb of these things happen to somebody else. Not to us. The bomb won't drop on us.

We tell ourselves, death will not come for us. And death offstage smiles and nods and degrees. No one ever dies until he's dead. Here and there you find a strange one. A citizen and taxpayer who believes what he reads in the papers.

A fellow who takes things seriously. A fellow who looks after his own. A fellow like Sam Endover, husband, father, and the man who believes if you don't do it yourself, nobody will do it for you.

To you maybe, but not for you. you know what's that mean nothing really just trying to get things started seems to me you got enough started with that bomb shall you're digging in the backyard fallout shelter Mary Lou no such thing as a bomb shelter these days bombs are too big no protecting against them just fallout no place in the country is safe
