Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society is a great mutual institution organized to serve Americans and America. Therefore, one of the equitable society's major objectives is to make all possible contributions to the welfare and stability of American business, on which so many of the equitable societies four million members depend for their livelihood.

Tonight's middle commercial is addressed to the man who owns his own business. For such an owner, this commercial, due in about 14 minutes, will have information of great importance from the equitable life assurance society of the United States.

Tonight's FBI file, the Unwilling Draft Dodger. There's a well-known method used by psychiatrists and psychologists for probing the inner recesses of the human mind, called the word association test.

In application, the examiner mentions a word, and you answer quickly with the first word that comes to your mind. When the word color is given, the answer in most cases is red. When the word number is mentioned, the majority answer is seven.

And when the keyword used is crime, the answer is usually gun. But there are many crimes committed every day in the United States in which no gun is involved. One of these crimes, and this is probably the most heinous crime that can be committed, is perpetrated by those parents who not only fail to instill in their children, a respectful

law and order but who on the contrary. Teach them that laws were made to apply to everyone else, but not to them. That child may become a juvenile delinquent, and if by some chance he escapes that fate, then he is certain to grow up and become an adult delinquent, a person who tries to contribute less to society than he takes from it.
