For horizons of the unknown, come tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future.

The presence have been open, the gifts enjoyed, and in the case to the kids, have fewer already slightly battered. But NBC has one more holiday package for you, and it will be delivered over this weekend on Monitor. There will be the music of such bands as those of Guy Lombardo and Richard Moffee, punctuated by the antic commentary

of Monitor's own Bob and Ray and Fibber McGee and Molly, and underscored by the up-to-the-minute reports of NBC's newsmen at home and abroad. From Friday night through Sunday midnight, Here will bring you another weekend of drama, music, news and interviews.

Of special interest to sports fans will be NBC's coverage of the Friday night fights, Saturdays, Blue Gray and North South football games, and Sunday's National Football League Championship game. Use and enjoy, monitor, your weekend radio service.

Yes, start your weekend right with Monitor on Friday nights and stay with Monitor all weekend long over most of these same NBC stations. Our X minus one and tonight's story, Target One. Headquarters of the World Council was in the ruined United Nations building in New York. It took me an hour to reach it picking my way across

the red colored rubble that had once been a proud city. I was ushered into the office of the president of the council, a former Russian scientist named Melkov. It was hard to realize that only a few decades ago, these people had helped us destroy the world.
