The Johnson Wax Program Words at War with Clifton Fuddeman. The makers of Johnson's Wax or Holman industry in cooperation with the Council on Books and War Time proudly presents one of the most widely discussed programs in America, Words at War, dramatizations of the most representative books to come out of this great world conflict.

And pinch-hitting for Carl Van Doren tonight is that good judge of fine books, Man of Letters, and nationally known radio personality, Mr. Clifton Fatiman. Mr. Fatiman. A friend of mine said the other day that a good war story ought to have some shots and shells in it.

Well, here goes. And there you have two pretty good rifle shots. I hope my friend is satisfied. Well, actually, the point I want to make is that in our war story tonight, there are no rousing tank battles, no artillery salvos, no diving planes, no charging German battalions.

Tonight, we give you a personal story. The story about some fine, simple men, and their fight against an enemy more cruel by fau than any German horde. But more about the story in a minute.

First, Jack Costello. Folks, tonight I'd like to go with you out to your garage. When you're through listening to the radio, let's slip out quietly and take a look at your car. What I'm especially interested in is how it looks, how you've kept up the finish.

I don't mean to be critical if it's on the dull and gloomy side, but I think I can be helpful. You should know, for example, that dirt and road grime should be removed occasionally before they have a chance to do permanent injury to the finish.
