00:00:00You
00:02:00Hey, isn't that Blake Washman?
00:02:13Yes.
00:02:14The battling senator back home to stay.
00:02:20Hello there, Blake.
00:02:31Hello, Bob.
00:02:33The defeated senator.
00:02:34Come home to lick his wool.
00:02:35Play off him, Abbott.
00:02:36What do you say we bury the hatchet, Blake, now that the election's over?
00:02:39Say, the voters didn't seem to fall for that motto of yours, did they?
00:02:42The people's choice.
00:02:48This election's over, but remember, there's another one in two years.
00:02:55Blake, is that you?
00:02:56Hello, Leo.
00:02:57You got your cab here?
00:02:58Sure, right here.
00:02:59What happened?
00:03:00I just said hello to a campaign manager.
00:03:04Happy birthday, Blake.
00:03:07Hmm?
00:03:08You had a birthday last week, fella.
00:03:10Happy birthday.
00:03:11Oh, yeah.
00:03:12Thanks.
00:03:13How'd you remember that, Leo?
00:03:14I haven't forgotten a thing since I took that memory course three years ago.
00:03:17How'd you happen to take a memory course?
00:03:19When I was in high school, I just couldn't remember a thing, so I figured if I was to get
00:03:23anywhere, I'd have to remember things.
00:03:25Now, when people here in Fairfax want a cab, the first one they call on is me.
00:03:29Because they remember I remember things like their birthdays, their favorite color.
00:03:36The McFarland Packard just got a new paint job.
00:03:39So I see.
00:03:40Well, John McFarland's really dressing it up.
00:03:42It looks real good.
00:03:43Probably celebrating his son's being elected state senator.
00:03:47Blake, I wouldn't worry about not being reelected if I were you.
00:03:50I won't.
00:03:51Well, politics is a funny thing.
00:03:52Sometimes the voters like it, and sometimes they don't.
00:03:54I think they tore down all those posters.
00:04:21What did you give him that clip on the chin for?
00:04:22Just to let him know how I feel about his campaign tactics.
00:04:23Campaign tactics?
00:04:24Campaign tactics?
00:04:25Sure.
00:04:26The people were hoodwinked into voting for Bob McFarland.
00:04:27I don't know.
00:04:28I don't know.
00:04:29I don't think I was hoodwinked.

00:10:31didn't realize it's been seven years
00:10:34yes it has five years in the army and two years at the state capital
00:10:38I guess it's a pretty long time for a girl to wait for a fella
00:10:42yes
00:10:46why don't you drive my car home I won't need it tomorrow it's Sunday
00:10:49no thanks I don't mind walking
00:11:01well I think we better plan on getting married right away
00:11:03I'm not sure I want to marry you Blake
00:11:07Janice what are you why
00:11:10I think perhaps it's because I don't like being taken for granted
00:11:13you expect me to be waiting here patiently for you and marry you when you're ready
00:11:18you know what I've been trying to accomplish before we got married
00:11:21things haven't worked out for us before
00:11:23yes I know
00:11:24I expected to be reelected and we could have married and settled down in capital city
00:11:28I worked hard as senator
00:11:31because I happen to step on some toes they kicked me out
00:11:34the voters don't seem to realize they kicked out the man who has their best interests at heart
00:11:39getting into fist bites on the Senate floor isn't the way to get things done
00:11:45I may have done it the wrong way
00:11:47but all the things I was working for up there I can still do don't you see
00:11:51just because I wasn't reelected isn't gonna stop me
00:11:54I think I know what the people want and I can fight for them just as well being editor of the Herald

00:19:15I've got you started on stream pollution.
00:19:31It's a problem all over the country.
00:19:33Factories dump their waste and acids into fresh water.
00:19:36Something that should be controlled.
00:19:45There he is.
00:20:03Hey Andy.
00:20:11Hello Andy.
00:20:12Well how are you Slim.
00:20:14Andy I'd like you to meet Blake Washburn.
00:20:16Blake this is Andy Butterworth.
00:20:17Hello Andy.
00:20:17How do you do?
00:20:18Oh you're the new editor.
00:20:20That's right.
00:20:20How are the kids?
00:20:21Fine fine.
00:20:22I got another one since I saw you last.
00:20:23I have five now.
00:20:24Well those gray hairs are deceiving.
00:20:27Andy I'd like to ask you a few questions.
00:20:29Do you mind?
00:20:30No no go ahead.
00:20:31Well off the record we won't quote you.
00:20:34How much refuse and acid does the plant dump in the river?
00:20:37Why none.
00:20:39The factory is right on the river.
00:20:40You must dump some.
00:20:41No.
00:20:41The solvents are burned in the incinerator.
00:20:44And the acids are diluted and go on down to the sewage treatment plant.
00:20:47What goes in the river?
00:20:48Nothing.
00:20:49I know because it's my job to see that the disposal rules are carried out.
00:20:53Isn't there anything thrown in the river?
00:20:55Not a thing.
00:21:00Is that what you wanted to know?
00:21:02Yes that's what I wanted to know.
00:21:04Thanks very much Andy.
00:21:06Give my best to Virginia will you?
00:21:07Yeah sure thing.
00:21:08Well goodbye.
00:21:10Take it easy.
00:21:16We better get back.
00:21:17We got a paper to get out.
00:21:17What was the idea?
00:21:27I made a mistake.
00:21:28No harm done.
00:21:30You feel you must have a crusade?
00:21:31Our readers ought to be informed about the things business interests get away with.
00:21:35You mean John McFarlane?
00:21:36How do you suppose his son got elected?
00:21:38Why I had an idea the voters had something to do with it.
00:21:40They'll soon discover their mistake because I'm going to tell them with our little one horse paper.
00:21:45Uncle Cliff wouldn't like to hear you call it that.
00:21:47The Herald hasn't grown up with a town.
00:21:49A crusade will help circulation.
00:21:51Don't you think we ought to be a bigger newspaper?
00:21:53Sure I'm all for that.
00:21:54Then maybe I'd get a raise.
00:21:56But let's not go off half cocked huh?
00:21:59What do you say boss?
00:22:00Drink your milk rags if you want all your teeth.
00:22:08Katie.
00:22:10Now keep your coat buckled.
00:22:12Blake when I get the list of all the pupils in my class be sure you print every one.
00:22:17What?
00:22:17Didn't Slim tell you?
00:22:19I told him about our class going on the outing.
00:22:21He said he would write it up if I gave him the names of all the pupils.
00:22:25There's a school bus.
00:22:27And please see the names are spelled right Blake.
00:22:29Now don't worry.
00:22:30Blake will tell his printer.
00:22:32Bye Blake.
00:22:33Bye Katie.
00:22:33Bye.
00:22:34Bye dear.
00:22:35Bye Rags.
00:22:36I'm going to take Rags on a field trip.
00:22:39What was that all about?
00:22:41Well Janice is taking her whole third grade for an outing next week.
00:22:44To look at the ground.
00:22:46The ground?
00:22:47Well you know rocks, sand, blossoms.
00:22:50The things they make us all study when we're eight years old.
00:22:53They won't find many blossoms this time of year.
00:22:55Well I think it's to show them where the blossoms were last year
00:22:58and where they're going to be next year.
00:23:00Anyway there'll be rocks.
00:23:02I'm glad the Herald's running an article about it.
00:23:03That should increase the circulation.
00:23:05Well there'll be 25 children's names
00:23:07and all their relatives will want papers to see their names in print.
00:23:10Your Uncle Cliff always said to your dear father,
00:23:13names make news.
00:23:14It takes more than that to make a newspaper grow.
00:23:17What we need is a crusade about something important.
00:23:19Something big.
00:23:20Yeah I heard about it on the radio this morning.
00:23:36That's an awful lot of money for one company to make.
00:23:38Yeah I wish I had some of it.
00:23:40That's what costs you a high cost of living.
00:23:41Some people sure have it easy making all that dough.
00:23:44Who gets all those profits?
00:23:45That's what I'd like to know.
00:23:46I wish somebody would tell me I work for one of them big outfits.
00:23:49That's more money than any of us will ever see.
00:23:56Good morning Mr. Washburn.
00:23:58Good morning.
00:24:02Bernie when did the item about petrol manufacturing come in?
00:24:04Well good morning Blake.
00:24:06Why first thing I just put it in the window.
00:24:07The teletype's in your office.
00:24:09Thanks.
00:24:19Bernie ask AP for a complete text on the metro manufacturing item.
00:24:38Okay.
00:24:38Right.
00:24:39Okay save me the eight column head.
00:24:41Iris get me AP's.
00:24:42Can't come.
00:24:47Call me.
00:24:52More.
00:24:52Darryne.
00:24:53Break out.
00:24:54Easy.
00:24:55альный.
00:24:56Why?
00:24:58Good morning.
00:24:59Good morning.
00:25:00Good morning.
00:25:01Good morning.
00:25:02Good morning.
00:25:02Good morning.
00:25:04Good morning.
00:25:05Good morning light.
00:25:06I don't see you yet.
00:25:07Be cold.
00:25:08Good evening.
00:25:10Good evening.
00:25:10Good morning.
00:25:10The End
00:25:40The End
00:26:10Still hammering away at the same subject?
00:26:21Yes
00:26:22I suppose you know what you're doing
00:26:27Of course I do
00:26:28I'm printing a newspaper and giving the people what they want to read
00:26:30Slim, see what you can find out about the companies in this state
00:26:36Fairfax Valley Power, Tri-State Cement, McCrall and Motors
00:26:39Get the information on as many as you can
00:26:41You're going to start on them, are you?
00:26:43Yes, I am
00:26:44Did you know circulation is up, 500 copies?
00:26:48Yeah, I know
00:26:49Well, I don't know what the rest of you are going to do
00:27:04But I'm going to a tea
00:27:05The End
00:27:16Well, this young out of there's got the right idea.
00:27:38He used to be state senator, did he?
00:27:40That's right.
00:27:41It was too bad he wasn't reelected.
00:27:42He could do a lot of good up there.
00:27:44I think I'll write him a letter and tell him he all.
00:27:46I'm going to run again.
00:28:16I think I'll write him a letter and tell him he'll write him a letter and he'll write him a letter and he'll write him a letter.
00:28:21I think I'll write him a letter and he'll write him a letter.
00:28:30These are the personal letters, Mr. Washburn.
00:28:50Thank you, Iris.
00:28:50I'm getting a lot of letters from your readers lately, aren't you, boss?
00:29:01Yes.
00:29:05I was out bowling with a few of the fellas last night.
00:29:07They were discussing this attack you're making on business profits.
00:29:11It was very interesting to hear their opinions.
00:29:13And?
00:29:14They asked me a couple of questions about why you were doing it, but I couldn't answer them.
00:29:18I really don't know.
00:29:20Oh, Katie, deadline.
00:29:28This has to be in tomorrow morning's paper.
00:29:31It's important.
00:29:32Hello, Slim.
00:29:33Hiya, Katie.
00:29:34Our class goes on the outing tomorrow, and this has to be printed before we go, or it won't
00:29:39be news.
00:29:40It's the names of all the pupils.
00:29:41All these names?
00:29:42You must print every one.
00:29:44It's important.
00:29:45Is it?
00:29:45I promised them their names would be in the Herald, and they've got to be.
00:29:49I gave my word.
00:29:51Why did you?
00:29:51I collected ten cents for each name.
00:29:56Katie.
00:29:57I'm going to give it to the Red Cross.
00:29:59All right.
00:30:00It'll be in tomorrow morning.
00:30:02Thanks, Blake.
00:30:03You're a nice brother.
00:30:04I have to go now.
00:30:06Bye, Slim.
00:30:07Bye, Katie.
00:30:08Bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:11Bye.
00:30:12Bye.
00:30:12Bye.
00:30:13Bye.
00:30:13Bye.
00:30:14Bye, Iris.
00:30:15Bye, Katie.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:21How about it, Blake?
00:30:23The town has a lot of confidence in you, but they'd like to see you take it a little
00:30:26easy.
00:30:27So would I.
00:30:27Concentrate more on local news.
00:30:30Stop going off in all directions.
00:30:36Here's some local news.
00:30:37Why don't you write that article?
00:30:41Okay, boss.
00:30:47Mr. Kenlock, I've got a news item about the third grade in Lincoln Grammar School.
00:30:51Do you think you'll have room for it?
00:30:52Good evening, Slim.
00:31:15You still here?
00:31:16I'm the babysitter.
00:31:17We just went to press.
00:31:21Blake.
00:31:22It's one o'clock.
00:31:24Oh, hello, Janice.
00:31:25Is it?
00:31:26You were going to meet me at Kay's Diner at 11.30.
00:31:30Oh, Janice.
00:31:32I'm sorry.
00:31:35Forgive me?
00:31:36Of course you'll forgive me.
00:31:39How about some coffee?
00:31:40That'll be ready by now.
00:31:41You're going to be ready by now.
00:32:01You're going to be ready by now.
00:32:03You're going to be hot.
00:32:04This one's with the sugar.
00:32:07Blake, tell me honestly.
00:32:09Are you just using this paper to get yourself back in the state senate?
00:32:12Yes, I am.
00:32:16That's why you've been doing all this crusading, to get to the people who might someday vote
00:32:21for you.
00:32:22What's wrong with trying to get votes?
00:32:24You said you were going to do some good with the paper.
00:32:26You asked me to have faith in you while you did it.
00:32:29I didn't know you were going to trick your readers into voting you back into the senate.
00:32:32Trick them?
00:32:33But I've been sincere about everything I've printed in the Herald.
00:32:37And because I have been, the people want me back in Capital City.
00:32:39You're not being very honest with yourself.
00:32:42You really want to show them you can come back after your defeat, don't you?
00:32:45But the people are with me.
00:32:47Don't you realize you were the victim of a mistake in the first place?
00:32:51You came home our most decorated war hero, and on that popularity you were elected state
00:32:55senator.
00:32:56You were the victim of a mistake.
00:33:00Why do you say that?
00:33:01I heard the voters, I heard them talking before the last election.
00:33:05They realized their mistake, that's why they went to the polls and deliberately voted you
00:33:09out.
00:33:11I don't believe that.
00:33:13It's about time you did.
00:33:16You're a trained newspaper man and can be a good one.
00:33:18So stop trying to be a politician, something you're not suited for.
00:33:23But I've been doing all this for us.
00:33:26Don't you want to marry a guy who will amount to something?
00:33:28I want to marry the boy I used to know, not this fellow you're being now.
00:33:34What he's doing isn't the sort of thing I want to be a part of.
00:33:37I'm going home.
00:33:49Good night, Sam.
00:33:55Good night, Janice.
00:33:56I think this paper's gone overboard.
00:34:02Take care.
00:34:04I think this paper's gone overboard.
00:34:04Take care.
00:34:06I think this paper's gone overboard.
00:34:08Take care.
00:34:13What do you mean, our company?
00:34:15Why don't you do something for that sour stomach of yours?
00:34:19Treat us all right, don't they?
00:34:21Oh, pipe down.
00:34:22Stop the foot of the hill.
00:34:23I'll put that sign back.
00:34:24Why bother?
00:34:25There's nobody coming up here to Copper Hill.
00:34:26No.
00:34:27No.
00:34:28No.
00:34:29No.
00:34:30No.
00:34:31No.
00:34:32No.
00:34:33No.
00:34:34No.
00:34:35No.
00:34:36No.
00:34:37No.
00:34:38No.
00:34:39No.
00:34:40No.
00:34:41No.
00:34:59No.
00:35:00Get the bus now.
00:35:01Go very quietly, go into the back.
00:35:03Keep your mind.
00:35:08Where are we going, Miss Hunt?
00:35:09Up to Copper Hill.
00:35:10Oh, boy!
00:35:18Hello, Slim. Hi, Slim.
00:35:23Good morning, Slim.
00:35:24Morning.
00:35:25Good morning.
00:35:30Iris, when are you going to get rid of that truck driver boyfriend of yours?
00:35:35He's not a truck driver. He owns four delivery trucks and he doesn't drive them. He's the boss.
00:35:39And I'm not going to get rid of him. I'm going to marry him.
00:35:42Congratulate him for me.
00:35:44Excuse me. I have to take letters to Mr. Washburn.
00:35:46I'll do it for you.
00:36:02Morning.
00:36:04Some more letters from your constituents, Senator.
00:36:06Look, Slim, lay off the cracks. I've got to get a little tiresome.
00:36:09Aren't you a little touchy this morning?
00:36:10You're so eager to criticize newspapers. Why do you work for one?
00:36:13No one's criticizing newspapers. They stand or fall on their own merits.
00:36:17It's you.
00:36:18I'm just going after facts and printing them.
00:36:20Like the time you went out for some facts about the McFarland factory?
00:36:24I didn't find out anything.
00:36:25You found out the factory was not polluting the river.
00:36:27That was commendable. You didn't print that.
00:36:38I'd like to speak with you, Mr. Washburn.
00:36:41But if you two are busy, I can come back later.
00:36:44Mr. McFarland.
00:36:45John McFarland. May I come in?
00:36:49Why, yes.
00:36:52I thought I'd come down and have a little talk about something we're both interested in.
00:36:55What's that?
00:36:56The subject of your editorials.
00:37:00How's your tobacco holding out?
00:37:02Fine, sir. Here, you're welcome to it.
00:37:06You're Slim Haskins, aren't you?
00:37:07That's right.
00:37:08We have a draftman at our shop. Talks a great deal about you.
00:37:11Dickerman.
00:37:12Yeah, we were in the same CB outfit.
00:37:14Uh-huh.
00:37:15I suppose you've come to talk about your son, the senator.
00:37:18No, I didn't. I'm not too concerned about him. He'll take care of himself.
00:37:22But I've been following your editorials very closely.
00:37:26Now, I know it's the duty of a newspaper to print the news.
00:37:29Of course, companies like Metro, Tri-State, and McFarland Motors, they are news.
00:37:34Of course, they are.
00:37:35Especially their profits.
00:37:37That's right.
00:37:38And I'm interested in profits.
00:37:40Both for myself and the customer.
00:37:43My main reason for coming here was to see if I could perhaps interest you in printing something about a pet theory I have.
00:37:50I call it profits to the customer.
00:37:53What do you mean?
00:37:54Well, as I say, it's my own private little pet theory.
00:37:56It's very simple, not very complicated.
00:37:59You see, I'm not an economist. I'm just a businessman.
00:38:02I have to make a profit to stay in business.
00:38:05Sure, we all know that.
00:38:06I make a profit on every electric motor I sell.
00:38:09But the customer must make a larger profit.
00:38:11Because if he doesn't, he won't buy my motors and I'm out of business.
00:38:15The customer must make a profit.
00:38:16That's right.
00:38:18Would you like to try my mixtures?
00:38:19Oh, thank you, sir.
00:38:20Yes, the customer must make a profit.
00:38:23For example, you have some typesetting machines out there.
00:38:27The manufacturer who sold them made a profit on them.
00:38:30But your paper would never have bought them in the first place if they couldn't deliver something beyond their original cost.
00:38:35They must continue to work for your paper to be worth more to you than you paid for them.
00:38:40As a customer, that's your profit.
00:38:41My profit?
00:38:42Yes, you sell your newspaper to a man for five cents.
00:38:45He gets news, advertisements, and all kinds of information for his home and business.
00:38:50He gets service beyond the value of his five cents.
00:38:53As a customer, that's his profit.
00:38:55It's the same story with everything else.
00:38:58The light bulb, the refrigerator, the telephone.
00:39:02For this, we pay a few dollars a month.
00:39:04Our profits are enormous in steps alone.
00:39:07In case of an emergency, its value can't be estimated.
00:39:09That's a different slant from what we've been printing.
00:39:14As you say, that's just a theory.
00:39:16But you can't deny that you are a big business.
00:39:19In your editorials, you've been insisting that because a thing is big, it's bad.
00:39:22It takes bigness to do big things.
00:39:26Our industries turned out equipment for our armed forces in a remarkably short space of time.
00:39:31It was a big job and it was well done.
00:39:33Helped us to win the war and preserve our country.
00:39:36That's what American industry, with its bigness, was able to accomplish.
00:39:39Was that bad, Blake?
00:39:41The last 50 years, we've come a long way.
00:39:43It used to take a week to get a letter across the United States.
00:39:46Now we do it in one day.
00:39:48The difference in time alone could affect the happiness of a family.
00:39:50It might even mean a matter of life and death.
00:39:53In my time, I've seen advances in industry that have added 20 years to the average span of life.
00:39:58My father died in the old country at the age of 40, an old man.
00:40:02His work was absolute drudgery, slavery.
00:40:05On his own farm from 5 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock at night.
00:40:08But because I live in America, I feel like a young man.
00:40:11And I'll be 65 in April.
00:40:13Mr. McFarlane, your tobacco makes mighty fine smoking.
00:40:18Why are you telling me all this?
00:40:20Well, I thought perhaps you might be interested in both sides of this profit question.
00:40:24Print something else for a change.
00:40:26Mr. McFarlane, I don't tell you how to run your plant.
00:40:29So please don't tell me how to run my paper.
00:40:31I'll print my own conception of business profits.
00:40:34Good day, sir.
00:40:42Well, I just thought I'd come in and talk.
00:40:50Which I have.
00:40:57Remember, Blake, when this country was first discovered, there was nothing here.
00:41:01Now look around you. Everything you see is profits.
00:41:04Our transportation, communication, household appliances, medical equipment.
00:41:10Notice them sometime, Blake.
00:41:12They're the real profits.
00:41:40The
00:42:01The
00:42:04Oh, look at that!
00:42:09Oh! Look out there!
00:42:11Right! Where is it?
00:42:14Right! Right!
00:42:17Ah! Ah!
00:42:20Ah! Ah!
00:42:23Come on.
00:42:25Right! Right!
00:42:30Right! Get out of there!
00:42:32Look, it's a mine. Maybe it's a gold mine.
00:42:36Rags, come out of there!
00:42:38I gotta see.
00:42:46It's dark.
00:42:48Alan, do you suppose Rags smells gold?
00:42:51Well, some dogs are awful smart.
00:42:53Rags, come here! Rags, come out of there! Here, boys!
00:42:59What?
00:43:00Rags is too little to be prospecting for gold.
00:43:04Rags!
00:43:09Rags!
00:43:11Katie!
00:43:12Alan!
00:43:14Katie!
00:43:16Rags!
00:43:18Oh, there you are, boys!
00:43:20Rags, come here, you bad, bad boy!
00:43:23Come here! Come here, bad boy!
00:43:26I bet you won't come and you still live here with long blistering.
00:43:32Katie, you'll go!
00:43:43Katie, go on, let's get out!
00:43:45Katie, go on, let's get out!
00:43:47Katie, go on, let's get out!
00:43:49Katie, come on!
00:43:53Katie, go on!
00:43:57Katie, go on!
00:44:00Katie, go on!
00:44:02Katie!
00:44:04Get out! Get out!
00:44:06Get out!
00:44:08Get out!
00:44:10Get out!
00:44:11Katie!
00:44:12Katie!
00:44:13Be in at loud!
00:44:14Okay, I'll bring them out to you.
00:44:32Here.
00:44:33What's this?
00:44:34I'm quitting. That makes it official.
00:44:36Oh, listen, Slim. Just because we took a couple of pokes at each other...
00:44:39That isn't it.
00:44:40I just can't stay here and watch my best friend make a fool of himself.
00:44:43Look here, you're being the fool.
00:44:48Hello?
00:44:51Katie. Where? Where are you?
00:44:53Copper Hill, please. Please hurry.
00:44:55All right, Janice. I'll be right there.
00:44:57Slim, drive me out to Copper Hill. Something's happened to Katie.
00:45:00Why? She didn't say.
00:45:13What happened?
00:45:17Katie, where's the old man?
00:45:24The bulldozer can handle this.
00:45:26The new highway through the pass. There's a bulldozer there.
00:45:28This will be.
00:45:301-0-3-M to Control-1.
00:45:35Request bulldozer come to Copper Hill, Code 3.
00:45:39Control-1 to 1-0-3-M. Roger.
00:45:42Control-1 to 1-0-8-M.
00:45:44Contact bulldozer working in pass at south end of town.
00:45:47Need a doctor right away.
00:45:54Suggest nearest one is Dr. Johnson at McFarland factory.
00:45:57Well, contact Dr. Johnson immediately.
00:45:59Blake's little sister is under the cave-in.
00:46:20Is there anything you want?
00:46:21Do you need the man from the factory?
00:46:22Thanks very much, Mr. McFarland.
00:46:23The police have already sent for some equipment.
00:46:24Doctor, would you stand by, please?
00:46:26Yes, of course.
00:46:26There's mother. Keep her down there if you can.
00:46:56There's Dr. Johnson.
00:47:00What's he?
00:47:01Doctor, what are they doing?
00:47:02It's a matter of clearing away the front of the opening,
00:47:03and we'll get to her.
00:47:09Please stay here.
00:47:10Doctor, do you think?
00:47:20You better turn it around and back in.
00:47:22Just over.
00:47:35You're welcome.
00:49:07We're going to try and hold it up.
00:49:21Come on in!
00:49:41Come on in!
00:50:11Come on in!
00:50:41She's alive, Mrs. Washburn, but I must make a thorough examination right away.
00:50:47Take her in the ambulance, please.
00:50:49Careful.
00:50:49Tell Dr. Lee the operation must be performed within two hours or it'll be fatal.
00:51:11Ask him if he can be ready.
00:51:13Dr. Johnson wants to know if he can be ready in two hours.
00:51:17Yes, sir.
00:51:17I'll tell him.
00:51:19Dr. Lee will be ready in two hours.
00:51:20Can we get catered to Capital City in two hours?
00:51:22Yes, yes.
00:51:23We'll take my plane.
00:51:24Come on.
00:51:24Tell Dr. Lee we'll be there.
00:51:25We're starting now.
00:51:27Come on.
00:51:27Come on.
00:51:27Come on.
00:51:27Come on.
00:51:27Let's get going.
00:51:28Come on.
00:52:00This is Dr. Johnson.
00:52:19Dr. Johnson.
00:52:20I need a resuscitator at the airport right away.
00:54:54Beach 801, take straight in approach.
00:55:00Runway 7R, wind 9-0-15, out.
00:55:06Beach 801, Wilco, out.
00:55:09Taxi to south end of field where ambulance is waiting.
00:55:21Beach 801, Wilco, out.
00:55:37Beach 801, Wilco, out.
00:55:41Beach 801, Wilco, out.

00:56:36Beach 801, Wilco, out.
00:57:42How do you do, Mr. John McFarland?
00:57:46This is Blake Washburn, the little girl's brother.
00:57:48Mr. Washburn, your sister's okay.
00:57:49It was lucky you were able to get her here in time.
00:57:51Thank you, Dr. Lee.
00:57:53Oh, well, well.
00:57:56One of my motors, the McFarland motor.
00:57:58Thanks again, Dr. Lee.
00:57:59Yes, thank you, doctor.
00:58:00Yes, thank you, doctor.
00:58:00Yes, thank you.
00:58:39Hey.
00:58:46Rain again?
00:58:47You've been threatening rain for three days.
00:58:51New weatherman's a pessimist.
00:58:53Your front page ready?
00:58:54Here it is.
00:58:59Hello, Slim.
00:59:00Ken.
00:59:01Blake.
00:59:02Katie's still doing all right?
00:59:03Yeah, she's fine.
00:59:03I just talked with Mother in Capital City.
00:59:05That's good news.
00:59:07Thanks, Slim, for helping to save Katie.
00:59:09A lot of things help save her life.
00:59:10Yes, I know.
00:59:13Ken, what are you running in my column?
00:59:15Why, nothing.
00:59:16Hold it.
00:59:16I've got something I want to say.
00:59:17Is it still printing facts?
00:59:24Let's go.
00:59:37Are you still printing facts?
00:59:39You know, Slim?
00:59:40Seven hours ago, John McFarlane came in here with a pet theory I didn't think was worth printing.
00:59:45Theories have funny ways of becoming facts.
00:59:48If you're looking for your letter of resignation, I'm typing on the back of it.
