  Speaker 2: But first hear this.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Hello. I'm Dorothy Olsen, singing school teacher on NBC's big
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: weekday musical show Bandstand. But right now I'd like to
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: talk to you parents. I got to ask you a
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: few questions as you getting ready to send your youngsters
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: back to school. Are you helping your child get the
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: most out of his school. Do you make his home
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: conditions favorable enough for him to do his homework? Do
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: you show an interest in his schoolwork? Remember your child's
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: success in school and later on in life depends to
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: a large degree on your attitude towards his schooling today.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: And there's another important thing. Everyone needs a good sendoff
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: in the morning, and that goes for children too. Be
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: sure your children have a substantial breakfast and a cheery
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: good bye before they head for school each day. Remember,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: you can't expect your child to do it all himself.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Encourage him in his schooling, both in your attitude and
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: in your actions as he goes back to school this fall.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Ah x minus one and Voultlaw.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Not here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I'll be right there.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Come on her it, I have a buffet on the terrace.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm coming.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: So I'm an old hermit, am I And our daughter says,
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: I'm eccentric.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Now I wonder how the devil she ever found out
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: from me? Of course, but you love me just to say.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, Max, what's got into So?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I reached the dangerous age? And lady, I am going
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to have fun.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Well, come on out to the terrace. The hamburgers will
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: get cold.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: My dear, I'm going to have a new kind of fun.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Oh it's a joke.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: I'm going to play a tremendous joke on the whole world.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: I had been working for this moment for ten years,
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: and now Voltla's three of them, a male and two females.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: I had called them volplus since that day ten years
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: ago when I got the idea of creating a flying
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: mutant which I would teach to feed, play and talk.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: Now I was almost ready to play my joke on
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: the world. After lunch, when I returned to the lab,
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: the volplas were moving about on the mattress where I
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: had placed them, and the male was trying to stand.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: They were about twenty eight inches high. Except for the face, chest,
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: and belly. The volplas were covered with a soft, almost
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: golden down. The skin was pink upon his head and
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: across his shoulders. The male had a shock of fur
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: as soft as a chinchilla. The cranium was in the
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: same proportion to the body as it is in the human,
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: and they were shockingly human eyed. When the male spread
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: his arms, the span was forty eight inches. I held
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: his arms out and tried to tease the spars open.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: These spars turned backward and ran alongside the wrist, almost
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: to the elbow. Powerful wrist muscles could snap them outward
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: and forward. Suddenly, as I teased the male volpla. This happened,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: the spar shot outward, adding nine inches to each side
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: of his span. The lateral skin that had until now
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: been resting in folds was tightened into a golden plane
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: that stretched from the tip of the spar to his waist,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: a true gliding plane, perhaps even a soaring plane. By
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: four o'clock that afternoon, they were ready for their first
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: solid food.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Come on, now here, hold the cup. That's the way
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he hold the cup. Oh you're beauty, Hey, you're all beauties. No, no, no,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: come on, I ain't. Don't climb in my bag.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: That stop.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: God, that's better. Oh, hello, pretty one.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, So that's the way it's going to be. Hello, Hello, wonderful, wonderful.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Oh you have no idea.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: What I have in store for you, my DearS.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: I will teach you a language, perhaps English or a
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: simple basic English. You will have your own crafts, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: you live in small treehouses, and I'll teach you legends
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: that you came from the stars, that you watch the
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: red men and the white men, and you listen to
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: this speech. And when you're able to take care of yourselves,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: I'll turn you loose. There'll be voltpla colonies up and
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: down the coast before anyone suspects. And then, my dear,
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: one day somebody will see a voltpla and the scientists
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: will observe them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Then the legends will come. Isn't that funny?
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: Don't you think that's terribly funny?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You're listening to Voltla. Now back to X minus one
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and Act two of Voltpla.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: I used the metabolic accelerator to cut the volplus gestation
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: down to one week, and I used it to bring
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the infant to maturity in one month. By the next spring,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: I had a colony of over one hundred voltlas, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: I shut down the accelerator. From now on they could
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: have their babies in their own way. I had devised
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: a language for them, and I carefully adulterated it with English,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: as if they had observed us and learned my Volplas
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: were amazing.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: They were bilingual.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Jane and Susie went down to Santa Barbara for a week,
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: and I took the opportunity to ship the male and
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: the oldest two females.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Out of the lab.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Them in a jeep beside me and drove to a
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: secluded valley about a mile back in the.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Ranche three three rock skych s gotchy.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: That's right, Chief, that's the sky all right. Come on now,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: everybody out front jumped. That's right, that's right, take off,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: He spent about two hours chasing the two girls volts around,
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: and then he made a leap for one, and when
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: he spread his arms, his spars snapped out, and those
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: golden planes sheered into the air.
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: Y y, yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: He sailed over her, and he rose up and he
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: hung in the breeze for a long moment, three feet
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: above the ground.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Why, why, that's right.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: You can fly, You can fly.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Fly.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: They learned quickly and brilliantly. They were not really flyers.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: They were gliders and sorrows. Before long, they took agiley
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: to the trees and launched themselves in beautiful glides for
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: hundreds of feet, banking and turning and spiraling to a
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: gentle halt.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I laughed out loud with anticipation. Wait until the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: first pair of these is brought before a sheriff.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: Wait till the newspaper reporters are rotted out into the
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: hills to witness this. When they were tired, the vaultlers
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: lay on their backs with their planes stretched out. The
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: oldest one came over to me. He squatted his elbows
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: resting in the ground, his wrists crossed at his chest.
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: Before the Red men.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: We live in that's right, in places like these. You
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: lived all along these mountains. Now there are very few
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: of you left. Since you've been staying in my place,
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: you've naturally forgotten the ways of living outdoors.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: We learn again.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: We stay here.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: That's right. Now. Look, look you see up on that tree.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That's a bird. That's your food if.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: You can kill it. Well, I don't think you can
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: get at them in the tree. You'll have to thar
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: up above and catch one of them on the wing
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: when they fly away.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, try.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: He climbed the tree and launched himself and caught a
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: warm updraft from the hillside, and no.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Time he was about two hundred feet away.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: He began working his way, criss crossing back to us,
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: and then suddenly he died.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: He cut the bird. He cut the bird. Bird.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: We eat, yes, yes, you eat this. I'll show you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: how to build a fire again.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: I told him the story I had made up, how
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: they came long before the Red Men in a ship
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: from the stars. I taught them to point to the
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: planet Venus and say that was the star they came from.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: I grinned to think of him. Many stories that would
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: be written the Sunday supplements. Oh, what a great joke
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: I was playing in the world.
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: We came from a star before the Red Man from
• 11:07
  Speaker 11: a star.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: The next week I brought all the voltless out to
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: the oak wood. There were one hundred and seven men,
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: women and children. By the end of the week they
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: were scattered over four square miles of the ranch. They
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: hunted sparrows and cooked them over tiny fires. The little
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: creatures delighted.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Me more and more.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: For hours I could watch them play. I could sit
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: all afternoon and watch them at work in a treehouse.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Quite forgetting to go home.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Well, how does the mighty hunter who now returns from
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: the forest.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Fine? Oh, I've been enjoying the local animal life. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: is our daughter. What do you mean? She has two
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: of them up in her room? Two what?
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: I don't know?
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: What do you call them?
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: I went up the stairs, three at a time, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: burst into my daughter's room. There she sat in her
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: bed reading a book to two volclus.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Hello there, what's going on here?
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: Nothing, daddy, We're just reading like we always do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Like always. How long has this been going on? Oh?
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: Weeks and weeks? How long is it since that first time.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You came here to visit me?
• 12:16
  Speaker 10: Ah, weeks and weeks.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: But you're teaching them to read?
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: Of course, this is good pupils and so grateful daddy.
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: You will make them go away, will you?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jane, why didn't you tell me such a thing
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: like this was going on?
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Now you listen to me, mister.
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: Your whole life is a secret from us.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Just what makes you think your daughter can't have a
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: little secret about a fine secret.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Didn't it occur to you that this might be dangerous?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Those creatures are.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Oh max, for heaven's sakes, they're sweet, lovable little creatures
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: without a harm and their furry little bodies. Now, don't
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: get excited.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Jeep jee, Look where are you here?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Fush? Listen? Listen? Do you realize our two volcals in
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: my daughter's bedroom?
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: Yes, they go there every day.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Is there anything wrong with that?
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: But she's teaching them the words men put on paper.
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: Yes, you told us men may be enemies.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: We wish to learn so we can protect. I have
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: thing here for that. That's the san Francisco Chronicles.
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: We've been taking it for some time from box at
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: your house.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I have learned from the others. I can read most
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: of this. It was terrible. The whole wonderful joke of
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the voltless would be lost. But I knew what I
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: would have to do. I'd have to well, I'd have to.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: Explain that my family and I had found a colony
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: of them in our ranch and taught them English and
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: taught them to read.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I was stuck with that. Men are dangerous.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: They will shoot us with guns if we leave here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, and a listen. When they know who you are,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they'll leave you alone.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Now you must disperse all your families at once, send
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: them far away and spread out.
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: No, we cannot leave these woods men would shoot us.
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: But I'm telling you, perhaps you are not a good friend.
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Perhaps you have lied to us. Why are you saying
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: we should leave these words?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: But it's important, the whole I mean, you'll be safer.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: We will decide.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: The whole thing was critical. It could be disastrous. I
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: went back to the house and up to Susie's room.
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: I found her talking to two volclas.
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: Oh no, no, I'm sure you didn't come from the stars.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: That doesn't sound right. The more I think about it,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: the more I'm sure that my father made you.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Susie.
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: What business have you telling them that? I don't want
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: you talking to them that way?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Do you hear me?
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: Daddy? You want to play a joke? Don't you like
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: the time you said I could have a horse for
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: my birthday? You gave me that dried seahorse in the
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: bottle instead of a real one. Are you going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: make that kind of a joke?
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: No, now, Susie, Honey, that isn't exactly it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: No, I don't think it's very funny. The voltlers are
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: my friends. I wouldn't want to play a practical joke
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: on them.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: Jeep, Geep, where are you? Cheep?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: You confounded? The fires are out, none of them around? Cheep?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Are you up there in that treehouse?
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Where are you?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Where are all of you?
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: You've got to listen to me. I made you the joker.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: The whole joke is spoiled. Where are you? Jeep? Holflaes holmflies.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I was away from the house for hours. When I
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: came back, I found Jane sitting on the terrace.
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: Are you looking for something to you?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Never mind? I suppose they're all gone. What do you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: mean flying things?
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: I saw them fly by about four in the afternoon.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: You did, Where did they go over that way?
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: You could see them soaring.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Over the trees.
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Oh, it was so pretty.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Where Susie, she's been watching television. She's all excited about
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: the rocket flight.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You know what rocket?
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: Oh you have been living in the woods. The Venus rocket.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: My goodness, has been at all the newspapers.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: But where are you going?
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: I gotta talk to Susie, Susie, Susie, steady.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: The rocket's almost ready to go.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Listen, it approaches zero hour. Now the rocket stands tall
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and silvery. The gantry crane is pulled away. Now we're
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: actually at least five miles away, watching from the remote
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: monitors some disturbance. Now it seems to be some birds,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: big birds, like a flock of owls, circling the ship.
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: Oh daddy, look, hey, wait a minute.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: They're flying through the hatch. It seems to be jammed open.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: This is certainly an unforeseen developed. The metal on the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: ground are driving a motor driven ladder up to the ship,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: and the owls seem to be fighting them off.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: There goes the hatch.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It's closed.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Those birds are inside and are big birds, big as egos.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: As we told you previously, Ladies and gentlemen, the rocket
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: is on automatic fire. It'll go off in precisely ten seconds.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: We stared at the television screen.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: We saw the red blast of fire and the silvery
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: rockets streak up into the sky.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: The cameras following.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Our reporter at scientific headquarters reports that none of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: rocket telemeters are recording the owls who plodded into the
• 17:33
