1:25
the twenty ninth of nineteen fifty seven and the title is The Doubtful Dairy Matter
1:32
from Hollywood. It's time now or Johnny Dollar is Peter Hardy at Try Western
1:40
Property and Casualty Insurance. HI our things in the Golden West. He is
1:44
dealing right on, good boy, What goes Peyton? A little trouble with
1:47
a big dairy farm out here, Johnny Amenian dairy. Okay, Pete,
1:51
tell me a year and a half ago on a fire, Emenian lost one
1:53
of his silos. You know, one of those big towers where they store
1:57
and caire a lot of chopped up corners. Yeah, yeah, I know.
2:00
Twenty one thousand dollars. Twenty one thousand for a silo. This time
2:04
is a compound silo. And the claim is for fifty six thousand. Oh
2:07
and I don't want to pay it. I don't blame you, sure,
2:09
because Johnny, I think it was a parson Bob Bailey. In the Exciting
2:22
Adventures of a Man with the Action Packed Expense Account, America's fabulous freelance insurance
2:27
investigator, Truly Johnny Dollar, now act one of yours, Truly Johnny Dollars.
2:52
Expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollars the Tri Western Property and Casually
2:57
Insurance Company Renon, Nevada office. Following is an acount of expenses incurred during
3:01
my investigation of the Daftful Dairy Matter expense account out of one one hundred and
3:10
forty one twenty transportation and Incidental's hard for Doreena Neveda. It was about nine
3:15
am when I arrived, so I checked into the Mapes Hotel and then walked
3:19
over to Pete Hardy's office. Median Dairies is just north to hear Johnny and
3:23
warm Springs value off root thirty three. Well, and I better rem me
3:25
a car or you can use mine, I'll peat how can I run on
3:29
my expense account? Was I have something to run it up with Johnny for
3:32
one? Anyhow, the reason why these silos a Median has are so expensive
3:38
it is that'd be owner. His name, by the way, yes,
3:39
Arab Amedian, and I take it he's Armenian. Strangely enough, now now
3:45
he's had all his silos very specially built. How specially can you build a
3:47
silo just a concrete base, a lot of long wooden staves to get the
3:52
circular shape, and a good roof on top. Well, he has the
3:54
trick of them inside, like what that's his deep dark secret. But he
3:58
claims and makes better silence for cattle and as possible anywhere else in the world.
4:01
And one of these things burned up a year and a half ago.
4:03
The word exploded best described its Yeah, and as I said, cost us
4:09
twenty one thousand and now the replacement has gone up on the plane yes day
4:12
before yesterday. He filed a claim the same day. Well, why do
4:15
you, suspect, Arson, Did the local authorities find anything suspicious? No,
4:18
but you go out and talk with a median Johnny, and if you
4:21
don't end up with the same kind of feeling I have, well I'll leave
4:26
my shirt expense account at him two fifty dollars deposit on a drive your own
4:32
car. Finding the Armenian dairy and Rants, some twenty miles north of the
4:40
city was easy. It was spread out all over the countryside, hundreds of
4:44
acres of well irrigated, lush stream pastures spere. In the middle of the
4:47
rant sat one of the cleanest, most modern dairies I ever saw. Aaron
4:51
Armenian gave me the grand tour, and I must say I was impressed.
4:55
It was close to two hundred well kept guernseys in the main barn, which
4:59
was clean as a whistle. The milking machines, coolers, separators, clarifiers
5:03
and so on were the same. Yep, a prosperous looking setup. Finally,
5:09
mister Median took me out to where a small group of workmen were cleaning
5:12
up what was left of his compound silo. As you can see, mister
5:15
Dollar, only the concrete base is left. That must have been a pretty
5:19
big silo, mister I, meaning it's the largest and most efficient in the
5:24
entire West. Still fifty six thousand dollars. Oh, the side had nothing
5:27
to do with that. It was the inner construction, known only to Barnwell,
5:30
the man who built it for me, and to myself. Of course,
5:32
all is so special about it principally a method of venting. Venting.
5:38
Yes, it increases the phosphorus and lactic acid content. All I thought the
5:42
point in the silo was to keep it pretty well sealed up, venting within,
5:46
mister Dollar. But that's all I'll tell you about it. It costs
5:48
me fifty six thousand to have Barnwell building, and I wish the company to
5:51
pay my claim as quickly as possible, because I'm starting construction anew it immediately,
5:57
of the same type, all vastly improved type. Oh, then it
6:00
was to your advantage to lose the old one, That's what he means to
6:03
that your loss came at just the right time, didn't it. Not just
6:08
a minute? With the insurance money, you can build a new and better
6:10
one, and when it gets out of date, I suppose you'll have another
6:13
fire. Oh I see. You think perhaps these last two were deliberately set
6:19
where they ridiculous, But if they were, If they were, I certainly
6:26
wouldn't know. I'll come on now, after what you've just said. What's
6:29
more, mister Dollar, I'm sure you'll never be able to prove it.
6:47
Act two off yours truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment, we sometimes
6:53
wonder what is the life of a human being really worth? Not too much
6:59
or maybe a great deal? Does it depend on whose life it is?
7:02
Whatever the answer, one thing is certain. Fred Hargesheimer, since World War
7:08
II, has felt that his life is worth quite a lot, quite a
7:12
lot of gratitude. During the war in the Pacific, about June of nineteen
7:15
forty three, Lieutenant Hargesheimer had his P thirty eight fighter planes shot out of
7:19
the sky. Badly wounded, he bailed out over a tiny island, New
7:25
Britain. It looked pretty small from where he hit the silk, but he
7:29
found it much bigger. When he hit the ground, it was bigger and
7:32
in complete control of the enemy. But Hargersheimer was lucky. After a month
7:38
of lonely hiding, he was found by a group of friendly natives from the
7:42
village of Nantambu. They cared for him and successfully hit him from enemy patrols
7:47
for the next four months at the risk of their own lives. Then Hargesheimer
7:51
was able to make it back to civilization. For the next seventeen years,
7:57
Fred Hargesheimer thought about those wonderful people of non Tamboo, twelve thousand miles away
8:03
in the United States of America. Hargesheimer put a great plan into effect.
8:07
He made speeches, took up collections, sold jewelry belonging to his family,
8:13
and worked out a way to bring a bit of civilization and happiness to the
8:16
little village of non Tamboo. Needless to say, the villagers gave him a
8:20
spectacular welcome. Upon his return, Fred Hargesheimer showed his gratitude to the people
8:26
who had saved his life. But life is worth little without freedom, the
8:33
right of all men everywhere. And now act too, of your truly Johnny
8:37
Dollars and the doubtful, dry matter why what he said and the way he
8:46
said it? Ara Momenian was practically challenging me to find out how Arsenal was
8:50
involved in the destruction of his fifty six thousand dollars secretly constructed compound silence expense
8:56
Acon Adam three phone called a gas station on High thirty three to Reno.
9:01
Police had quught it, but Lieutenant Brady of the Arts and Squad assured me
9:03
he'd failed to find anything indicating the fire was set. So dead end until
9:09
I remembered a little trick that had worked for her May before it might work
9:13
again. I'd him four twenty seven cents for a local white bread at the
9:16
grocery store along the highway. Then I drove back to the Armenian ranch.
9:20
If I had known you were hungry, mister dollar, I should have had
9:24
something provided for you with the ranch house. In spite of your rather nasty
9:28
attitude about this loss of line. Food is the last thing I'm thinking of,
9:31
mister Imanian. Then why this loaf of bread? If you're not,
9:35
I'll see, Oh no, surely you're not going to eat the piece of
9:39
dropping the ashes, Oh no no, Then get it out of your mouth
9:43
man. Noh mm hmm. Whatever in the world are you doing, mister
9:48
Dollar, Yeah, yeah, I knew it. You knew what a sure
9:52
a sure test for terra scene mister I Meanian, Yeah, fresh bread dropping
9:56
the ashes of a fire. Even days after the fire is out, I
10:00
can still taste the kerosene, and mister it makes things look pretty bad for
10:03
you. Me. Oh good, heavens man, you can't. Dollar.
10:09
I resent this completely unfounded accusations right ahead, and resent. I better still.
10:13
Let me get hold of a stenographer and you can dictate a confession.
10:16
Get out of here. I want to do it the highway man, get
10:18
off this plane. Dollar Nali immediately. Sure, I warn you don't come
10:24
back, because if you do, we gotta be careful. Mister Armenian,
10:26
the kind of a threat you're about to make wouldn't sound very good in court.
10:30
Gets out, Get out, I don't know highway. I stopped at
10:37
the mobile gas station again. I made another phone call, ad him five
10:39
another twenty cents. It was to my old friend Herb Krolbert, cashier of
10:45
Reno's Farm Trade National Banks. It was fast closing time, but he promised
10:48
to leave a door open falling so I grabbed the sandwich in a coco along
10:52
the way. That's item six eighty cents including tip. Then at the bank,
10:56
Herb led me back to his private office. Oh, sit down,
11:01
Johnny, tell me all about yourself. Yeah. Later we'll go out on
11:05
the town and talk our heads off. Right now, I need some information.
11:07
I hope you can tell me where to get it. All information about
11:09
what the Amenian dairy are better. Still a Menian himself, you know,
11:15
I'm well, I certainly do. Where his bank is happens to be one
11:18
of the best accounts we have, especially in our investment department. I mean
11:22
it's a big, funny big like how much. Well, now, Johnny,
11:28
I'll tell you this. If I had a quarter of his net worth,
11:31
I'd have retired long ago. Oh big outstanding debts on his place,
11:35
anything like that. Not a pennant. Aram's financial condition is Wait a minute,
11:41
yeah, that fire and explosion of his compound silo. That's right.
11:45
Everybody found evidence indicating I said, well, certainly are accused again, h
11:48
else? Oh no, no, no, you're wrong. Oh I look,
11:52
Herb. He filed that claim so fast. The most nature thing in
11:54
the world for him, the way he does everything, like paying his bills
11:58
immediately on receipt. He works that way, you expect everybody else to.
12:01
Well, he gave me the impression he wanted to collect quickly in order to
12:05
have money for rebuilding, of course, rather than cash in some of his
12:09
blue chip investments. Herb somebody fired that silo. Well, it certainly wouldn't
12:13
be Aaron. Ah, he's sound my hearing co hoes with him. What
12:16
about his employees From my impression of the man, they love him like a
12:20
father, every one of them. And if every employer was as generous as
12:24
he is, there wouldn't be any labor troubles in this country. Well,
12:26
a fank remains at Somebody somehow stood the prompt by destroying that silo and the
12:31
one before it. Well, I can't imagine who even his competitors like and
12:35
respect the man, or so they say, Oh, no, no,
12:37
they do. He's helped them stay on their feet during hard times, developed
12:41
new ideas and methods, and passed them on to them. Oh, the
12:45
factory man, Johnny, Johnny, I had a rough day. How about
12:48
a nice, cool casual drink. Then we'll have dinner and take in the
12:52
town. Oh, I had them seven twenty one thirty and a good dinner
13:00
back int the mates. But I didn't enjoy it because Herb and his defense
13:05
of a median was no help at all, except perhaps for giving me a
13:09
list of all the people he could think of who did business whatever. I
13:11
decided to check them all first thing in the morning. Finally, about midnight,
13:16
having lost our share at a couple of nearby gambling clubs, we parted.
13:20
Herb drove away to his home on the outskirts of town. I went
13:22
back to the mats. Take mister missus kenway to the room three fourteen boy,
13:28
Yes, sir, what oh missus Dolly? Oh that's my keeth.
13:33
Certain of here are Frank and I hope you enjoy a pleasant night drest.
13:39
Oh, by the way, there was a gentleman here looking for you earlier
13:41
this evening, hung around quite a while, said he'd be back. Oh
13:46
was he? He didn't give his name, sir, in orderd he wish
13:48
to leave a message, mister Amenian, mister Amenian the derriman. Oh,
13:54
no, sir, I'm quite sure, okay, n yes sir, good
13:58
night, good night, Oh mister doll. Yeah, there he is going
14:03
out the door in the dark brown coat. Youah, sure, yes,
14:05
he's the same man. Yeah, so do I. But if he knows
14:09
you, sir. And by the time I got out the front door,
14:15
the man in the brown coat was halfway down the block and walking fast,
14:18
faster and faster. As a matter of fact. As I gained on,
14:20
he turned the corner, and by this time both of us were running.
14:24
Hey, hey, are you looking for me? When the end of three
14:30
or four blocks, it was a real foot race. Then suddenly he turned
14:33
into an alley, and like a darn fool, I plunged into the darkness
14:35
of it after him. Hey, hey, right here, Oh no,
14:43
you act free of yours truly, Johnny Dollar in the moment. Our flag
14:58
now number is fifty stars, and behind each star there stands yet another flag
15:03
representing one of the fifty states. New Hampshire state flag carries its state seal
15:09
on a field of dark blue. The seal is surrounded by a wreath of
15:13
Laura Leeds, the symbol of peace. It dispersed with nine stars, because
15:16
New Hampshire was the ninth state to join the Union. The heart of the
15:20
state seal is a representation of the frigate Raleigh, recalling the glory of the
15:26
early days of sale. New Hampshire State flag. The flag of the ninth
15:30
State and to the Union, was adopted on April twenty ninth, nineteen thirty
15:33
one, No Act three of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and the doutful Dairy
15:39
matters. If it hadn't been for a big interstate moving van that drove into
15:48
the alley where I've been wled, well, I have a strong hunch I
15:50
wasn't supposed to have lived through that. Feeding the truck driver who absolutely refused
15:56
a tip. Incidentally, half walk half carried me back to the mapes that's
16:00
part. Had a doctor in my room within a few minutes. This terrible
16:04
thing that's done. You're being attacked like this, And of course I don't
16:07
have to make a report over to the plane do anything you like, doctor,
16:11
Just just get me patched up with you and you mean you you have
16:18
no idea who could have done this? To believe me, I intend to
16:22
find out judging by this fallen hand with your You've got in some good licks
16:26
though, and whoever wants the matter, this is a very unusual ring.
16:32
You. Oh, some kids in the y m c A gave it to
16:34
me a couple of years ago. The softball team. Oh yes, of
16:38
course, why insignia, Yeah, one of them made it, and the
16:41
three raised points stand for spirit, body and mine. Yeah that's right.
16:47
Well, now, if you're just oh wait, what's that for? Make
16:51
sure you get plenty of rest. Oh no, no, I'm the doctor.
16:53
Well do it. Look if this shot leaves me groggy in the morning,
17:00
wake up feeling fine. Incidentally, that ring listened before you notify the
17:07
police. Oh hey, this this shot works pretty fair. Yep, that's
17:15
sad to say. Uh if that ring of yours didn't leave a mark on
17:19
whoever you defended yourself against him? There, you know, I mean very
17:23
much. In a few seconds, I was out like a light. But
17:30
then a whole set of weird dreams began to plague my somewhat battered mind,
17:34
and questions about who would attack me and why? Only the why was only
17:41
too obvious to keep me from finding an arsonist who yeah, yeah, who
17:45
probably bore the mark of my ring on his kiss? He. I thought
17:49
of the names Herb had given me and his insistence, but none of them
17:52
could be guilty. Wait a minute, there was one name he hadn't mentioned,
17:59
but a median had of one man who stood the gain a lot by
18:02
the destruction of the silos. Or maybe it was just a crazy hunch,
18:06
part of the wild dreams that came from the beating I'd taken in any event.
18:12
In the morning, as soon as the bank was opened, I was
18:15
in Herb Carlbert's office again. Well, yes, he has an account here
18:19
too, Johnny, at least he did before. How about loan? Says
18:23
this man were talking about taking out any loans? Oh yes, but Johnny,
18:27
you know, I yeah, I know, I know. The fact
18:30
remains. He's pretty hot up for doesn't he Why I didn't say that,
18:33
although, of course, if that's the conclusion you choose to draw, tell
18:37
me this he owes the bank money now doesn't mean all right? Did he
18:41
also owe the bank a lot of money about a year and a half ago,
18:45
Johnny? Yeah? Well, Johnny, you're right. But who would
18:48
have suspected And when you consider that aram Aminion is the one man who was
18:52
given him money for all the work he's I can't believe it, Herb.
18:56
It started out as a pure hunch, but right now I'd bet my can
19:00
I find him? Well? If Aaron plans to go ahead with new construction.
19:03
Probably go out there at the derry. You want to come along,
19:06
Maybe i'd better. After the way aarm threatened you, I guess I owe
19:08
him an apology for the way I tore into him. Let's go, Johnny.
19:11
Yeah, what what if you're wrong? What if this man we think
19:18
is the arson? This way? You agree that the Firebug is the same
19:21
man who attacked me in the alley? I suppose so. I we'll soon
19:25
know, because, believe me, he's a marked man. We made the
19:36
Armenian Jerry in thirty minutes flat. We're told at the gate that Aaron Armenian
19:38
was in the pasteurizing plan. Maybe you better let me talk to Aaron first,
19:47
Johnny. It's not Aaron that I'm interested in her, and you know
19:49
I'm just a minute, hold it a second. What do you want to
19:52
tell my shoe Ice? Yeah? Sure, I've been thinking, Johnny on
19:56
the way out. You know, we could really be terribly, terribly were
20:03
We're just looking for you. I heard the car pull up. I thought
20:07
it was Joe Barnwell. He's here to show me final plans for the new
20:10
stylo. He's gone to Oh it's a dollar and that's right, sir,
20:14
meaning I want to apologize. Now, what's the matter dressing on your cheeks?
20:22
What about it? Just? What is that little bandage hiding? Johnny
20:26
Well? I mean and as a matter of fact, I felt trading this
20:30
morning. Well, I'm sorry, mister, but that bandage is going to
20:32
have to come off. Look, Johnny, just a minute dollars? Ah,
20:36
here you are here, here's the final blueprint? Where the phone?
20:41
Oh, gentlemen, this is mister Joseph Barnwell, heard Carlbert. We know
20:45
each other, mister Johnny Dollar. Yeah, I think we know each other
20:49
too. Bonwell, Oh do we joja have an accident of some sort your
20:56
face? What's going to happen to him? Now? Won't be any accident,
20:59
mister MEI and I apologize for doubting that you cut yourself with a razor.
21:03
I'm afraid I don't understand it. But that bandage on your face doesn't
21:07
hide any razor cut, does it? Barnwell, I don't know what you're
21:11
talking about. All right, then let's rip it off. You certainly good?
21:15
Heavens Johnny. Look the mark from the ring on my hand where I
21:18
struck him last night? Okay, born Well, no, I'll stop,
21:22
don't don't touch me. Started talking. Tellamanian how you burned up his fancy,
21:26
expensive silo so you could build another one, How you burned the other
21:30
one up? Talk talk talk, Yeah, he talked all right, funny
21:45
about a rankeet so old. I hadn't heard of it in years. The
21:49
crooked builder who burned out his own plans to get himself more work, and
21:53
in this case of natural because he was the only one who shared Aaron's secret
21:56
construction plan. And by the time when I was sure with him, he
22:00
blacked about some of the other clients he'd taken the same way. Expensive count
22:04
total including incidentals and a trip back to Hydrid four hundred eighteen dollars even yours
22:10
chili. Johnny Dillen our star Bob Bailey will return in just a moment to
22:26
give you a hint about what's in store for you on next week's program.
22:32
Meantime, listen carefully. There is a Biblical verse which promises life is going
22:37
to be better for everybody in the world when mercy and truth are met together,
22:42
and righteousness and peace have kissed each other. When the people of the
22:47
United States of America express that thought it is not in idleness, but indeed
22:52
today it is common knowledge that when the gigantic earthquakes and tidal waves struck the
22:57
Republic of Chile and South America too long ago, thousands of lives were lost
23:03
and tens of thousands were left homeless, hungry, and suffering. Immediate aid
23:07
in the form of food, medicine, clothing supplies, and professional and technical
23:11
help were flown to Chile by the United States Air Force in a mercy airlift.
23:17
When the work was done and the suffering people made happier and more comfortable,
23:21
American servicemen received such grateful thanks from the people of Chile that they felt
23:26
increased pride in being able to wear the uniform of the United States of America.
23:30
This same pride has come to other Americans in uniform when mercy and truth
23:34
have come together to follow the wake of disaster in other parts of the world.
23:40
After the earthquake and Agada, Morocco, after two devastating cyclones swept across
23:45
the Bay of Bengal into East Pakistan, after a typhoon rocked and battered Japan.
23:51
As mercy and truth got together, so did peace and righteousness to form
23:56
a Pact for Freedom, the right of all men everywhere and now here is
24:02
our star to tell you about next week's intriguing story on Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
24:07
Next week, while I get into cattle country again and a Hanford Steer
24:11
solves a case on me. So joy ups, won't you Yours Truly Johnny

Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollars, starring Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood.
24:33
It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote tonight's story Heard
24:37
in our Cast where Paul Dubas, Will Wright, John Dayner, Harry Bartel,
24:41
Barley Bear, and Boris Lewis. Be sure to join us next week,
24:47
same time and station, or another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny
24:52
Dollar. This is Dan Coverly speaking. This is the United States Armed Forces
25:19
Radio and Television Service. Welcome back. Well. We learned a couple things
26:37
about Johnny Dallar this episode. Number one is that Johnny is able to find
26:45
time in his free time and in a job that tech has him called off
26:49
at a moment's notice to help out at the y m c A and help
26:53
the kids down there, which is great. And we also learn that when
26:57
all else fails, he can go ahead and beat a confession out of the
27:02
suspects. To be honest, that was a bit off just from what we've
27:08
seen of Johnny. And the only thing I can think of is Jack Johnstone
27:14
was writing it was just making the decision. You know, we've only got
27:18
twenty minutes to tell our actual story, and we can add some clever twist
27:25
in here, and there certainly were some of those, but we don't have
27:30
time to find some grand clue, I know, but at any rate,
27:36
the ringing at least can go into your portrait of Johnny Dollar. This was
27:38
also an odd episode just for accusing the wrong person. There was one part
27:48
where the banker was say, you know, we might be making a horrible
27:52
mistake. Of course, in this story, that wouldn't have been new for
27:57
Johnny unless the actual owner was behind it. Having the builder was a decent
28:04
twist, and, as Johnny indicated, not something you saw in detective stories
28:11
of the day too much. All right, Well on to some listener comments
28:15
and feedback, and we have some comments from Facebook and Bobby who comments on
28:23
the previous episode The JPD Matter. Great episode, as always, The fact
28:30
that she used her initials made me think of Jess sick of Fletcher in murder.
28:34
She wrote, interesting, all right, Well, we had a couple
28:40
questions come through on Twitter. Karen asked, can you tell me who played
28:45
Eric Turnbull in Yours Truly Johnny Doller the Curse of kamashek Matter? Indeed,
28:51
Karin, that was Alan Reid, mister Yabba Dabadoo himself playing some of the
28:57
great radio roles he played prior to the sixties and the Flintstones, which is
29:06
most of his legacy to the average person. And Thomas asked, what is
29:14
your favorite Johnny Dollar episode? Well, good question, Thomas, and I'll
29:18
be honest that I don't have a definitive answer just because I haven't heard all
29:23
of them at this point. I'm discovering most of these episodes for the first
29:30
time with you and the rest of our listeners. But I'm the ones i've
29:37
heard. The one I like the best comes from the Johnny Dollar serial era
29:45
and the Nick Sure Matter. I think just great program. It managed to
29:51
be a Christmas program without being two sappies, with still a lot of great
29:56
action and emotion. And I really played into the Christmas season in a way
30:02
that you just don't see happen too much, So I love the Nick sher
30:07
matter of the half hours we've heard so far. I really enjoyed the Ras
30:12
Mussin matter. That one definitely sticks out in my memory, and I guess
30:18
that could be me being an emotional softy, but whatever. I also add
30:25
some favorites for prior Johnny dollars, for Charles Russell. I liked episode one
30:32
hundred The Little Man who Wasn't All there for em and O'Brien the Yankee Pride
30:38
matter. Really, Johnny Dollar had his toughest and most hard boiled during the
30:44
Brian O'Brien era, and that episode zero two nine to five and the Paul
30:51
Garrell Matter from John Lund's era episode zero seven to eight. Oh, I
30:56
love that one. It basically featured Johnny doing trying to recover some stolen property
31:06
and so he goes undercover in a ride share situation with several people and one
31:14
of them might be a murderer. It was a very suspenseful episode and like
31:19
I said, my favorite of the John Lunn era. If you have a
31:25
favorites you'd like to share from yours truly, Johnny Dollar, I'd love to
31:29
hear from you that will do it for today, though. We'll be back
31:33
tomorrow with Dragnet and join us again next Friday for another episode of Yours Truly,
31:38
Johnny Dollar. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at
