Color point is a specific pattern of coloration that causes a cat's body to be pale and their extremities to be dark. It is directly caused by temperature differences. The darker parts of the cat are colder, while the lighter parts are warmer. For this reason, most color point cats aren't born that way at birth, since their whole body is at the same temperature in their mother's womb. However, their points will be revealed after a few days. These cats also tend to get darker as they age. Balinese The Balinese is a long-haired cat that has similar coloration to Asimis. There are two types of Balinese, traditional and modern. Despite their name, these cats don't actually have any connection to Bali. Berman This domestic cat breed is long-haired and always color pointed. They have silky coats and blue eyes. They are set apart from other color pointed cats due to their contrasting white paws. This breed originates from Burma, now Myanmar. They are a newer breed that wasn't recognized until the 1920s. British Shorthair The British Shorthair can sometimes have a pointed coat, though they are usually a solid gray-blue color. They come in many different coat patterns, including tabby. In many cases, this breed is considered to be one of the oldest in the world. To this day, they remain exceedingly popular. They are the most common breed in the U. K. They are known for their calm temperament, which sets them apart from many other cat breeds. Color Point Shorthair This isn't technically a breed of cat, though that does depend on whom you ask. Some registries count this feline as a distinctive breed, while others don't recognize it at all. It is thought that this breed comes from crossing a Siamese with an American Shorthair, though other breeds might be used as well. Typically, this breed is like the Siamese, though they have nontraditional point colorations. In some cases, they may even have tabby points. Highlander A relatively new breed, the Highlander can sometimes have a pointed coat. This breed is created by crossing at desert lengths with a jungle curl. While the foundation stock is mostly domestic cats, they are technically a hybrid wild breed, which makes them illegal in some areas. Himalayan The Himalayan is a breed of long-haired cat that is similar to the Persian, except that they have blue eyes and a pointed coloration. This breed was created by crossing a Persian with a Siamese. Many registries simply classify this breed as a sub-breed of the Siamese for this reason. Javanese Also known as the colorpoint longhair, this breed is similar to most other colorpoints. They have long hair and are often considered an offshoot of the Balinese breed. Only sometimes is this breed seen as a standalone. Other times, they are merged within a general colorpoint category, or they are considered Himalayan cats instead. Confusingly, there is another breed called the Javanese by the cat fanciers, association. Napoleon This breed is a cross between the Persian and the Munchkin cat. They are a smaller cat that can potentially be color pointed, though this breed can be various other color patterns too. Since they are a mixed breed, their appearance isn't set in stone. They can have a variety of different traits depending on what they inherit from their parents. Hello. This video is sponsored by Beemix Pets.

They are hairless and resemble oriental short hairs. This breed only became an official breed in 2009. However, they were originally created as an experimental breed in 1994. Ragamuffin Ragamuffins were originally considered a sub-breed of the ragdoll. However, they have since been established as a separate breed. These cats are extremely common due to their friendly personalities and thick fur. They are extremely hairy and are commonly described to have rabbit-like fur. They are also extremely laid back and lazy, which means that they are generally considered less work than some other breeds. This breed is quite large, which means they take longer to mature. Ragdoll This breed is commonly known for their color point coat and blue eyes. They are quite large and muscular cats and take longer to mature than some other breeds. Their coat is commonly described as semi-long. They were originally developed in America in the 1960s and have become exceedingly popular since then due to their docile nature. These cats are often described as acting like dogs, which may be one reason that they are so popular. Sphinx This breed has a naturally occurring mutation that makes them practically hairless. Some of them have a bit of fur, but it is often nothing more than fuzz. They were created through selective breeding in the 1960s. These cats can come in many different colors, and they can also have appointed coats. Siamese This breed is probably the most famous feline with a color point coat. The Siamese cat was one of the first breeds recognized in Asia. They were originally brought to the west in the 19th century. These cats have large, triangular ears and bright blue eyes. The modern Siamese is different from the traditional one. They have round heads and bodies, causing them to be renamed by many registries as the Thai cat. Siberian This landrace breed originated in Russia and was recognized as their own breed in the 1980s. These cats are quite large, and the breed is considered to be quite ancient. They are likely related to the Norwegian forest cat. Today, this breed is selectively bred and registered with most major organizations. Snowshoe The snowshoe is basically a Siamese with white paws. In fact, this breed was created when a Siamese cat randomly gave birth to three kittens with white feet. After this, the breeder started a breeding program for these new cats. This breed does not have registration with most organizations. They are difficult to produce because reproducing the correct markings is difficult. Tonkinese This breed is created by crossing a Siamese with a Burmese. Therefore, this breed is almost always color pointed. They have playful, lively personalities and are quite talkative. They usually have short fur, though there is a medium-haired variety that is common in Europe. If you enjoyed this video, kindly press the like button.

Thank you, I thank you. Mr. President, thank you. In this box are letters of greetings with birthday wishes from the leaders of more than 100 countries. And I've been asked to read just excerpts from a few of them. First, it is indeed a great pleasure for me to present to you my heartfelt congratulations on your 75th birthday. The government and people of Switzerland wish that health, happiness, and success will also be with you throughout the coming year. I remember well the talks we had in Geneva last November when you came to my country to meet with Secretary General Gorbachev. The eyes of the world were watching you with trust and expectation. As a statesman with a sense of responsibility for mankind, you gave new hope to people and nations, hope for peace and freedom. You also strengthened their will to continue the endeavors to protect human rights. All my good wishes and thoughts are with you. May God bless you. Kurt Fergler, President of the Swiss Confederation. And then it gives me great pleasure to extend to you my warmest congratulations on your 75th birthday. I also congratulate you on your strong leadership and invincible spirit. By your example and resolve, you've helped to restore the vigor and vitality of the United States. We came, we, President of the Republic of Singapore. Then from another corner of the world, Britain has no greater friend and the free world no greater leader. I send my heartfelt congratulations from Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. And then those of us that share with you the grave responsibility of guiding our respective people under democratic principles, rejoice in the knowledge that you reach yet another year, not only in good health, but with the support, admiration, and the good wishes of the American people and all the people of good faith that inhabit the world. That from Salvador Jorge Blanco, President of the Dominican Republic. And although I've never met you personally, I've followed your very distinguished career and your great contribution to public service with utmost interest and admiration. As you celebrate your 75th birthday, please remember you have a colleague in the State House, Dar es Salaam, who wishes you and all our American friends peace and prosperity, and above all, your continued personal good health and long life. It is my sincere hope that we shall work closely together in order to promote peace, justice, human equality, and economic well-being for all mankind. Ali Hassan Mouigny, President of Tanzania. From our state visit in 1984, we learned firsthand why all those who know Mrs. Reagan and you personally hold you in such high esteem and feel so affection towards both of you. Our age is one of great achievement. Your nation has provided much of the leadership, including the leadership of ideals, which made human achievement possible. As from J. R. J. Wardin, President of Sri Lanka. And on this happy occasion of your 75th birthday, Mrs. Chun and I would like to extend on behalf of the government and the people of the Republic of Korea our heartiest felicitations and best wishes for many happy returns of the day. There is an old Oriental saying, No Ik Jong. In Korean, that's meaning the older one gets the more vigorous one becomes.  Admiring your distinguished and courageous leadership as the leader of the free world, we wish you a continued good health and success in your noble and steadfast endeavors for world peace and prosperity in the years to come. That's from Chun Di Won, President of the Republic. And then lastly, Rarely in history is one able to celebrate his 75th anniversary with a record as magnificent as yours. You represent the most valuable traits that are characteristic of your great nation, foremost among which is faith in God. I wish you many happy returns on your birthday, Mohamed Hasni Mubarak, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Happy birthday, Mr. President. Will you join with the vice president and I on a little song? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, Mr. President. Last week in the time of our great national tragedy, the Lord raised up a man who could give the words that we so desperately needed. Compassion, comfort, encouragement, hope, given in a great spirit of healing. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you all so very much. In all the 36 anniversaries of my 39th birthday, this has certainly been the most memorable. George and Barbara, all of you up here on the top shelf together with me and all of you ladies and gentlemen, I am enormously touched. Yesterday is my birthday. 75 years ago I was born in Tampico, Illinois in a little flat above the bank building. We didn't have any other contact with the bank than that. Now, here I am sort of living above the store again. I'm very happy to be here. And I'd like to begin the remarks that I had with something that I did mention last year, so those of you who are here forgive me because I'd like to touch on it again. It has to do with the history of this breakfast and the groups associated with it. The story begins in 1942, the height of World War II. And in those days there were a handful of senators and congressmen who'd get together now and then to talk about their lives and their jobs and how things were going for them. And one day they talked about how they might be of greater personal and spiritual support to one another. They decided it would be a real help if they could occasionally gather and pray together. And so they began to pray together. In time, in both the House Group and the Senate Group, some very important informal rules evolved. The members would meet in the spirit of peace and in the spirit of Christ. All members would be welcome regardless of their political or religious affiliation. There was room enough for sincere seekers in the deeply devout. They'd never publicized the meetings and they'd never used them for political gain. But most important, the members would be able to talk about any problem on which they needed guidance, any sadness for which they needed prayers, and everything would be off the record so no one would have to worry about the betrayal of a confidence. Or the two groups, one in the House, one in the Senate, met quietly like this for 10 years and then President Eisenhower came into the story. One night in 1952, during the presidential campaign, Dwight Eisenhower confided something to one of his advisors, a close friend, Senator Frank Carlson. And Eisenhower told him that during the war, when he was commanding the Allied forces in Europe, he'd had a startling and vivid spiritual experience. He had actually felt the hand of God guiding him, had felt the presence of God. And the general told the senator that this experience and the support of his friends had given him real spiritual strength in the hard days before D-Day. Senator Carlson said he understood. He himself was getting spiritual help from the members of a little prayer group in the Senate. And a few months later, the general who was now the president asked Frank Carlson over to the White House. And he told him, Frank, this is the loneliest house I've ever been in. Carlson said, Mr. President, I think this may be the right time for you to come and meet with our prayer group. And Eisenhower did just that. In 1953, he attended the first combined prayer breakfast. And ever since, presidents have been coming here to help and assistance. And here I am. The prayer meetings continue, as I'm sure you know, in the Senate and in the House. Other prayer meetings have sprung up throughout the government and every branch. And other fellowships have spread throughout the capitals of the world, in parliaments and congresses, far away. This is good news, isn't it? A cause for joy. And every year when I come here, I think, isn't it something a strong thing came out of a war, out of a tragedy came a triumph. That's a saving grace about sadness. Sometimes the very tears you shed can moisten the soil from which great things will grow. I think the playwright Eugene O'Neill was touching on this when he said, the impulse of tragedy is on to life and more life. Last week, when the shuttle exploded, we hadn't as a nation had a tragedy like that, that we actually witnessed it as it happened. And as I watched the coverage on television, I thought of a poem that came out of a war, and it became literally the creed of America's flyers all over the world. I quoted a line from that poem when I spoke on TV the night of the tragedy. That poem was written by a young man named McGee. He was 19 years old, a volunteer in the Canadian Air Force. He was an American, but he'd gone there before our country was in the war. He was killed four days after Pearl Harbor, but he left something that does live on, that poem. It says, oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings, sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling north of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of, wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up to the long delirious burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace, where never lark or even eagle flew, and while with silent lifting mind I've trod the high untrespass sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God. I used to think it was a poem about the joy of escaping gravity, but even more, it's a poem about joy, and God gave us joy that was his gift to us. We've all been sad the past week, and yet there was something good about the way we wept together as we said goodbye, and suddenly re-remembered that we are a family. And now the time has come to remember the words of the Bible, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. A minister who spoke at the memorial service the other day said he hoped we all remembered not just the grief, but the grandeur and the grace of life. Much of that grandeur comes from the joy that God gave us. All of us know of that wonderful individual Mother Teresa, that living saint. If you've ever met Mother Teresa, you know what I mean. She's probably thrust into your hand a pamphlet telling you to love Christ. She wouldn't mind my saying that she's no longer young. If she were here, she'd say, look who's talking. She is no longer young, and she's not always well, but she's inexhaustible. You may have heard of her trip to Ethiopia at the height of the famine. She got there after a terribly long journey, but went without pause straight to a food distribution center. Thousands of those people crowded around her trying to touch her. She stood there and shook hands, 10,000 of them. And later she was asked, how could you do that? Weren't you exhausted? And she said, it's my faith that feeds me. Well, some time back a senator approached her when she was visiting Washington and said, Mother, the problems of the world are so terrible and things look so bad. What can we do? She said, love God. Different things impel different people. Mother Teresa is impelled by joy. She sings like a woman in love, and she is in love with God. She's the great example of the truth of a great paradox that mankind can find freedom only in surrender, joy only in submission, wealth only in what we give away, and safety only in a promise. God's promise of life everlasting. Mother Teresa shines with joy in spite of the fact that she spends so much of her time in the unhappiest places on this earth. If you look at the world stage, you don't see a lot to make you glad. But in the midst of hellish circumstances, in Mexico, after the earthquake, in Ethiopia during the famine, in South Africa and Angola and Nicaragua, in all those painful places, we still see joy. God's gift and the energy that it gives. There are perhaps 3,000 of us here in this room, the wealthy and the powerful, those who've known neither wealth nor power. We have teachers here and diplomats, inmates from a local reformatory, captains of industry are here, and so are just moms and dads and insurance salesmen and people that do things like that, such diverse lives, and yet we all have in common the usual problems of life, the usual difficulties, and we're trying to achieve some kind of happiness while in the process causing as little pain to others as possible. We have so much in common, we share an anchor that roots us in the heavy seas, and that anchor is the joy that God gave us. Let our thoughts today be of how man harnesses his sadness and turns it into triumphant work, and that's what I wish for all of us in this room, that in our individual work this year we will fight on for what's right and good and resist the badness that is in us and that we'll do it with joy, because God gave that as a gift to be used. If I had a prayer for you today among those that have all been uttered, it is that one we're so familiar with. The Lord bless you and keep you.  The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Thank you. God bless you all.

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theatre presents Ginger Rogers, Don Amici, and Charles Winninger in A Free Soul. Present Hollywood. Our sponsors, believing that this program is the best means of showing you their appreciation of your loyalty to Lux. Tonight bring you Ginger Rogers, Don Amici, Charles Winninger, and Jack Arnold in another great play. We'll also hear from Mr. William A. Brady, distinguished Broadway producer and Aprilion, world famous designer of motion picture styles. Conducting our music is Louis Silvers, and our entire presentation is under the direction of your celebrated host. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Missourians are noted for caution and thoroughness, and Ginger Rogers was born in a Missouri town called Independence. It may be the combination that enables her to do what other girls find impossible. She scored first on the screen as a comedian, then as the most enchanting of all screen dancers, and her recent performance in Stage Door marks her as one of the most accomplished and delightful actresses in Hollywood. A small girl with golden hair and green eyes, Ginger likes ice cream sodas. And has installed a complete soda fountain in her new Beverly Hills home. She also likes roller skating, knitting, and saving old wrapping paper. I think I can safely say that it was the Lux Radio Theatre that gave Ginger one of her first important opportunities at drama. When a year ago we presented her in The Curtain Rises. She's currently starred for RKO in Having Wonderful Time. And tonight, enacts the role of Jan in Willard Mack's melodrama, A Free Soul. Tonight also brings to fulfillment what has long been an ambition of ours, to see Don Amici before our microphone. A radio favorite for several years, he's outstanding in an ever-increasing group of Hollywood stars who are coming to the screen by way of the air. We hear Don as Ace Wilfong. And we're especially happy to present as Steve Anash, that superb character actor, as famous on the air, as he is on the stage and in films, Charles Winninger. Jack Arnold is heard as Dwight Sutrow. With this thumbnail introduction to our stars, let's raise the curtain and get to the play. The Lux Radio Theatre presents A Free Soul, starring Ginger Rogers, Don Amici, and Charles Winninger. The smallest big town in the world, the city of San Francisco. It's late afternoon, and Market Street in the business section is jammed with a tangled mass of traffic, jockeying for position, shooting impatiently at the delay. Suddenly, a long blue roadster, sweep from a side street, skids recklessly beneath the nose of an oncoming truck, and rounds the corner on two sweeping tires. Practice on the hook and ladder. What?  I'm sorry, Tim. I was in a hurry. Yeah, that's what I thought. And how's your dad, Miss Ash? Don't see him around very much. Oh, he's fine. I'll give him your regards. Great man, Steve Ash. ought to be distant attorney but writes, put some of these crooks behind the bars. He does better keeping him on this side. Oh, what time is it, Tim? It's, uh, 5.45. Oh, I've got to run. Family tea at my aunt. See you around, Tim. Okay, take it easy now. Think I can make knob hill in three minutes? Then you do your lad in the lock up. Look me up and cell number six. Good evening, Dean. Oh, good evening, Miss Ash. Am I terribly late? Your aunts are waiting in the drawing room, Miss. Hey. I don't take care of what you say, Stephen. It's true. Now, wait. Hello, everybody. Oh, Jan, dear. How are you, Aunt Dorff here? Evening, Aunt Grace. Good evening. Hiya, Dad. Hello, Jan. Sit down. Just talking about you. Stephen, please. Well, we were, weren't we? Oh, it sounds like I was on the pan. Where's Dean? Dean! Yes, Mr. Rice. Fill this glass up. Will you? It's been empty for 10 minutes. Yes. Dad, I thought this was supposed to be a tea. Now, stop. Stop picking on me. It's sundown, isn't it? Stephen, can't you even come to a family conference without requiring stimulants? My dear sister, what occasion could arise where a man's desire for stimulants would be greater than at a family conference?  What was it you were going to say about Jan? Well, since it is about Jan, do you think she should be present to hear herself discussed? Well, I'll have to let Jan answer that. You want to stay, Jan? Of course I do. I wouldn't miss it for worlds. Have you no voice at all in the matter, Stephen? Why should I? Jan ought to know her own mind. She's known it ever since. She was five years old. Exactly. And that's just what brought us where we are today. Where are we today? Your Aunt Grace is referring to certain actions of yours. Public actions. And the people you choose to be seen with in public places. Oh, so that's it. I knew this meeting was going to be called today. I knew it last Tuesday when Aunt Grace walked into the St. Auburn for luncheon and saw me there with Ace Willfong. Ace Willfong. A common gambler. Oh, wait a minute. Wait. Is that what this is all about? Isn't it enough? We just stand by and see our family name dragged in the mud. What do you mean, dragged in the mud? I'd like that question answered myself. What do you mean, the mud? What mud? The notorious dirty mud which clings to this man your daughter sees fit to be seen with. Oh, that's a laugh. And Grace didn't think he looked so dirty until she found out who he was. Jan. After that, she made everybody's lunch cold for three tables around. Even. Are you going to allow your daughter to insult me? Is he stating facts? I certainly am. One moment, please. I have one question, Steve, and it will settle a great deal in my mind. All right, Dorothy. Let's have it. Did you know that Jan knew this gambler? Willfong? Certainly. I introduced him to her. You are? You introduced the man to her. Of course I did. Why not? Jan has met everyone in California who was worth meeting. Every fighter, every jockey, every gambler. Oh, Stephen, do be serious. I am. Since she was old enough to be my pal, she's known everyone I ever knew. And, well, why not? Oh, what does he care about anything? If he chooses to raise a daughter with the manners of a boss. That's enough, Aunt Grace. I've heard enough. You don't like me and never have. That makes us even. But don't forget this. No matter how much respect my father shows his sister, that's his debt. I don't owe you anything. And I don't have to answer to you for anything. Jan, dear Jan. Oh, I'm sorry. Grace. Dorothy. I don't have to tell you what Jan has been to me all these years since her mother died. She's been my comrade, my pal. I brought her up from a baby.  Whatever she is, I know she'll always be honest. Whatever she becomes, it'll be her own choice. What right and wrong are not going to be rubber stamped for her.  And you do nothing to help her in avoiding temptation? If God has given her an immortal soul, won't it survive temptation? Must it forever be hedged in with a lot of fables that are very ear-sick enough? No. And if in the end it strikes us both down, Jan shall be a free soul always. That, I promise you. And I can see there's nothing more to be said. Nothing, sis. Ladies of the jury, the defense rests. Thank heaven for that. It's grand music. No, not like you do. What's the matter? In a very arty complex? No, no. Common sense, I guess. A lot of friends here is here tonight. Oh, you're protecting my reputation again, aren't you? I wish you wouldn't, Ace. Why not? Can't do you any good being seen with me so much? Your friends must do plenty of talking. Do you think I care? You should, maybe. It's a funny combination, you and me. I only hope it never gets you into a jam. Oh, Ace, you're as bad as my aunts in twice as old-fashioned. Oh, hello, Dwight. Good evening, Jan. Coming, Dwight. Oh, yes. Excuse me, please. Friend of yours? Dwight Sutcroft. Kind of frigid, wasn't he? That's what I'm talking about, Jan. I choose my own company, and just now you happen to be it. Thanks. Don't live long.  He proposed to me once. Oh, seems to be all right. I thought so, too. But while I was thinking it over, his mother decided she didn't like me.  That changed his mind. Mine, too. He must sleep bad with that on his conscience. Conscience? Having a chance to marry a girl like you and passing it up for a little Jag. A lot of Jags. Couldn't be enough to square the deal. Oh, Ace, you're marvelous. Oh, I've got to call Dad. Wait for me, will you? Sure. I'll only be a minute. Well, Jan. Well, the frigid, Mr. Sutrow. How are you, Dwight? Jan, I want to speak to you. You didn't seem so anxious inside. I was until I saw whom you were with. Why are you doing it, Jan? What do you hope to gain by it? Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.  Jealous? Oh, do you think I'd go to the trouble of making you jealous? Then I suppose it doesn't mean a thing to you anymore. That we're not the way we used to be. Well, that's a thing, Dwight. Well, it does to me. Really? Has your mother changed her mind again? Oh, that's not fair, Jan. I asked you to wait a little while until I won her over. And suppose you didn't win her over. I'd lose again, wouldn't I? No, Dwight. The man I marry has got to want me more than anything else in the world. Just me, and nothing else must count. I do want you, Jan. Oh, no, you don't. I do. Give me a chance to prove to you how much I do. No, Dwight. It's cold. You know what I mean. You don't interest me anymore.  Unless you should happen to meet that ideal man of yours in the meantime. Of course. Maybe you've met him already. Perhaps. Ace Willfong, I suppose. You might be right about that, too. Good night, Dwight. The takens were deposited this morning. Okay. Hey, the house is doing swell, Ace. Over 4,000 bucks are roulette alone. And there's a crowd out there tonight fighting for the privilege of losing their dodia. Say, we'll be swimming in it soon. Yeah. Say, look, Abe. You've known me for a long time. You saw me start this thing. You watched it grow. Yep. That's right. Am I a smart guy, Abe? Or is it just luck? I don't know. Both, I guess. Well, what I mean is, suppose I'd gone into some other racket, something on the up and up. Would I come along like this, Ace? Or would I be walking around with holes in my pants? Hey, you weren't thinking of getting out, are you? You can't do that, Ace. I'm thinking of a lot of things. Yeah. We've been watching that here lately. We? Who's we? The boys and me. She's got you running around in circles, ain't she?  I'll let some bosses feel her own good. These societies, they don't care. Stop, Abe. Tell ya. You don't talk about her in this place. You get it? You or anyone else? You can spread that around with the boys. If I hear anyone of them, you can mention her name, I'll pitch them out in his ear. Hey, boss, there's a dame here to see you. Okay. Jan, what are you... All right, Abe, beat it. Right. Okay, come on. Jan, what's the idea? Well, now there's a nice reception. What's the matter?  Well, sure, but this is no place for you, Jan. I didn't come to play. I came to see a man at his game, Ace. If he's a fighter, I like to see him train. If he's a doctor, I like to see him operate. If he's a gambler, I like to see him gamble. Well, you're not going to see me gamble. You're going home.  I'm not doing anything wrong. It's not what you're doing. It's what people think you're doing. I do what I like. I'll always do what I like. That's my creed, Ace. Yeah? It may work now. It won't always. Why not? You'll be getting married one of these days. Do you think that would make any difference? I wouldn't marry a man who didn't know me well enough to know that if I wanted to do something, it was all right to do it. I see. Well, aren't we having a chummy little talk? We'll continue it later. I'll tell Jack to bring the car around. I'll be right down. Listen, have the elevator waiting. Come on, Jan. You're being very masterful tonight. We'll leave by the side door.  Sorry. No, here's the elevator. Well, I just came up to lose a little odd change. Dad, where have you been? My dear daughter, I had hoped that was not too obvious. I've been wooing Bacchus. I suppose you know the office has been trying to reach you all day. Why? You've got to be in court tomorrow at 10 o'clock. I shall be there on the dot. Run along now. Run along. Oh, where are you going? There's a game inside called Poker Dice, which after 20 years still intrigues me. Good night, Jan. Daddy! Nice save. He'll be all right. I'll tell Ed to look after him. You go along downstairs. That's such a rotten shame, Ace. He's so brilliant on one side, and on the other, he's so overbalanced. He always knows just what other people need, and he does it for them. But for himself, he... he can't do anything. Oh, God, it's terrible. Oh, Jan, dear. I've watched him ever since I was a little kid. Playing with liquor year after year. It's been working on him. He doesn't know. He can't see what it's doing. Jan, Jan, please don't. I wish I could help you. I want to, Jan. You can't. No one can. Well, you let me try. Somehow. You would maybe if... if you knew how much I love you, Jan. Oh, why did you wait so long to say that? Oh, I've wanted to for weeks. And I've wanted to hear it for months. Jan, you're... you're so far above me, it scares me to think of it. Then don't think of it. Oh, you're wonderful, Jan. Will you always say that? Oh, always. I'll take a chance on anything, but when I place a bet on you, that's a sure thing. Jan, will you marry me? Of course I will. I mean, soon. How soon? A week or so. A week? And leave dad? Oh, he needs me, Ace, now more than ever. You'll always need you. But that's all right.  Live together? Why not? Oh, darling. Oh, well, let me think. I'm not stalling. It's just... let me think it out all by myself. I'll call you. When? Tonight, late. After... After dad gets home. God smiled. They beamed 250 in the hole, and I threw five kings. A windfall! Where's my glass? Please, dad, don't. What? No more tonight. I want to tell you something. Something important, dad. What could be more important than five kings? Dad. I'm going to marry Ace Wilfong. What's that? I'm going to marry him. Oh, Jan, you're not serious. Of course I'm serious. I love him. You know what he is, Jan? What he will always be? A gambler? Well, we know lots of gamblers, and their wives, and prize fighters, and jockeys, and bookmakers, and... But I didn't expect you to marry them. Good Lord, girl. We can associate with anybody, but we don't marry them. That isn't what you taught me. You said a hundred times. Jan, if you aren't ashamed of what you do, and if people see you aren't ashamed, they'll respect you. Now, haven't you said that? Oh, no matter what I said, you can't marry Ace Wilfong. Why? Don't you like Ace? Yes. As a man, I like him very much, and as a character, he interests me. But as a husband for my sake, how can you expect me to like him? He's square. He's clean. He's brave. I believe that. And I tell you, Dad, that he loves me, and... and I love him. Oh, you've been in love often enough before. Then I ought to know, wouldn't I, Dad? If it were the very first time, I might be mistaken. I tell you, I know, I know. Oh, Jack... I'll never love anyone else. Oh, Dad, please believe me. Jan, Jan. Oh, you can't do this thing, dear. You mustn't do it. Listen, I know I'm no good. I've made you suffer and I loathe myself for it. But you're all I've got. I can't let you be unhappy, ashamed. You can't marry Ace Wilfong. You say you loathe yourself for it.   It's for you I'm doing it. You know I love you, Jan. I'll do better. I promise I'll do better. Dad, we're both gamblers, you and I. No more than that. We've been good gamblers with life always. Now, I want to gamble with you for the limit. Yes? I'll make you a bet. And I'll give you fair odds. I promise you I won't marry Ace Wilfong. I won't even see him. If you promise me, you'll never drink again. Is it a bet? I give up the man I love because you think he's bad for me.  Is it a bet, Dad? It's a bet, Jan. Thanks, Dad. The defense rests. Good night, Dad. Good night. Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone. Oh, sure, I know. Sure, honey. Hello. Give me Main 0642. Hello. Hello. I'd like to speak to Ace Wilfong, please. In the meantime, we switch our scene to Hollywood to a shop on Sunset Boulevard out near the city limits of Beverly Hills. Inside the shop, a young lady very much talked of in Hollywood today is looking over some clothes. A sales girl is helping them. Oh, I think it's so wonderful you're getting that part. I read about you this morning. Well, you're famous. Thank you. It is wonderful. But really, all I have time to think about is getting ready to go on location. I have practically no warm clothes. What about sweaters? Let me show you some of our new cashmere. They're really lovely. Oh, I adore that one. It's so marvelously soft and light. And it fits so nicely, too. Yes, but we'll only stay just as nice. Oh, but it will if it's washed right. Here are the directions right on the tag. Use cool water and luxe flakes. Would you wash a sweater like that? Oh, yes. Washing is good for a world provided you use luxe. Sweaters shouldn't be rough with a cake soap. They may shrink right up and get stiff and harsh. I know Marie uses luxe for my lingerie and stockings. Well, if she'll just stick to luxe of sweaters, too, she'll keep the colors nice and that's fit perfect. You see, there's no rubbing with luxe flakes. And it hasn't any harmful alkali in it either the way some soaps have. Anything safe in plain water is safe in luxe flakes, you know. All right, I'll take it. And just so I don't forget, I'll stick a memo in my purse. Marie, take along plenty of big boxes of luxe. Now let's look at coats. We return now to Mr. DeMille and our play. We resume a free soul, starring Ginger Rogers, Charles Winninger and Donna Meachie. For six long weeks, Steve was faithful to his pledge and Jan to hers. It's late at night now and in Jan's room a single light is burning. The girl paces the floor nervously and turns quickly as she hears someone at the door. Oh, Dad, I've been worried about you. Where have you been? Jan. Oh, Dad, oh, Dad. I'm sorry, Jan. You've broken your pledge, you promised. I know that, but that's why I came up here. You know what you said. You know what I said. You know what we agreed, Dad. I know. I'm going to marry him. You've broken your part of the bargain. You can't stop me now. I'm licked, Jan. It's licked me, but I tried. I tried. You could have gone upstairs. I never would have known. Sure, but that, that wouldn't be playing the game fair, would it? Oh, Dad. Oh, not a thing. It's swallowing with me. Oh, were you coming home to dinner? Oh, Ace, why not? Well, I know it's business, darling, but it's ages since I've seen you. Well, not since last night, Ace. Oh, please. Well, but I've invited some people over. Oh, I see. All right, Ace. Oh, I know you're sorry. All right. I'll be up when you get home. Clara. Yes, ma'am? Mr. Wilfong won't be home to dinner.  Yes, ma'am. Oh, well, Mr. Sutrow called again. Do I? What did he say? He asked if you'd have tea with him this afternoon. I told him you were busy. Oh. Oh, well, uh, we'll call him back. Tell him I'm not as busy as I thought. Sure, that's enough, Steve. Sure, I'll have this back to you in a couple of days, Ace. And the other two.  Oh, forget it. Um, you seen anything of Jan? Uh, Jan's a little disappointed in me these days. What do you mean? She kind of guessed I was making a few loans from you and kind of got her pride. Oh, why should it all in the family? She sees it a little differently, Ace. Uh, she sees it as a man taking money from the fella he didn't want his daughter to marry. Oh. You didn't know that, did you? That I didn't want her to marry you. Oh, I guess I did. I wasn't sure why, though. Well, you understand horses, Ace, don't you? Yes, I am. Well, humans are the same. It was the blood. I didn't want to cross it. You figured my breeding wasn't right, huh? Well, what I meant was I knew her strain and I didn't know yours. Can't man be a thoroughbred unless he's got a name they know for a thousand years? Sure he can. And you're proving that to me every day. Proving I was wrong. I'm not talking about the money either. You know that. Oh, forget that. But you were right, too, in a way. I mean, if I was bread-right, your strain. I know more about things. I wouldn't have to ask about, well, about something that's been in my mind for a long time. Why do you cheer it? Now, this isn't a squawk, Steve. I just want you to put me right. Well? Is it okay now that Jan's my wife? Is it supposed to be correct for her to let guys who knew her before she was married keep on hanging around? Does she? Well? Is it all right? Yes, it's all right. Why not? But she's my wife. Has she done anything not worthy of a wife? She goes out riding with this guy. Well, because she married you? Should that keep her from motoring on a nice day in nice company? Yes, in nice company. I met him. He's a rat. I think you know what I'm talking about. I wouldn't let it worry me. Jan's the skipper of her own boat. She must know what she's doing. Yeah? I hope so. That you, Jan? Darling, I didn't know you were here. You're home early tonight. I can say for you. Here, take my wrap, will you, darling? Oh, I'm tired. We were dancing at the three spades. Do I et cetera? Yes. Why? That's three times in a week, isn't it? Why not? I've got to do something. I can't just sit here every night waiting. You wouldn't expect me to. No. We've been married eight months, and all during those eight months, I think you and I were out together every bit of six times. Two shows, two ball games, and one rotten fight. Now, if that isn't a record for a pair of great lovers, I don't know. Oh, I know it's been tough for you, darling. For me, too. But I've had to stick close to the place, Jan, to wind things up. What? I'm getting out next week, selling the place. A's? No. Sure.  I'm going into something else. Something on the up and up. I've got enough dough to start with, but maybe we get to see each other once in a while. Oh, darling, that's marvelous. You're doing this just for me, aren't you? For us. You can do something for me, if you want. Well, of course, darling. Of course. Well, I don't know how to say it without sounding silly, but... it'd make me a lot happier if you weren't so chummy with this satro guy. Well, it does sound silly, Ace. I told you, before we got married, I had to be free. I don't consider it necessary to account for myself to anyone. But this much, I'll tell you. I should have gone mad these months without Dwight. As bad as that, hmm? As bad as that. There's no harm in going places. Dwight and I were kids together. Why? Oh, I know what he is, but he's harmless where I'm concerned. If I could believe that, I wouldn't beef. I want you to be free, Jan, but isn't there some other freedom that's a little less like playing with nitroglycerin? Ace, I won't be bossed, and that's that. Oh, no, it isn't. No, Jan. You've got to give me something else besides this free soul stuff. That don't mean anything to me. That was all right for you and your dad, but not for me. That agreement between dad and me was our faith, our faith in each other. Ace, I wouldn't live with you two minutes if I thought you didn't trust me. I do. That's why I can't have other people thinking what I know isn't so. I won't have it. I warned you never to treat me as you would any other girl you've ever known. You don't understand my training and you don't understand my code. And you don't understand mine. What I win belongs to me. You get that me. And I won't allow anybody to throw crooked dice in the game I'm in. And your mind and the game is mine and this writer's out to break it up for me, but he won't, you see? Take your hands off of me. Don't you ever do that again, Ace. And don't ever try to bully me into anything. I've done what I've felt like doing all my life. I'll go on doing it. And if I want to see Dwight Sutrow as long as it's honest and clean, you've nothing to say about it. Do you hear nothing? All right. I won't bother you again. Where are you going? I'm going out. Where? Well, I... You mind if I come in? Well, I know. Of course not. Make yourself comfortable, Wilfong. Thanks. I'm not staying. Oh, long enough to have a drink. Not even that. I can say what I came to say in a couple of words. Yes? Sutrow, I want you to stay away from my wife. I haven't wanted to say that. You forced my hand. But stay away from it. You hear? I hear, yes. And you will or else. You don't know much about men like me, but maybe you can figure out what I mean by that. Well? I'll see your wife just as often as she'll allow me to see her. It's entirely her affair. And mine. She's married to me. That I should say is her misfortune. But she's entitled to some happiness. If she favors the company of a man of her own world, then I shall do my best to be that company and just what can you do about it? I can do this about it.  Remember that. The private dig just reported. What did he say? Now, listen, boys, you don't want to get so... What did he say? Well, he's been trailing Sutrow since Wednesday. Today, about three o'clock, Sutrow gets in his car and goes up to the house. Go on. Well, I... My wife went out with him? Yeah. Yeah, they went out for a ride or something. But look, boss, maybe...  Well, I just... When he calls again, tell him to keep on the job. I want to know every move Sutrow makes. Dwight, I felt a drop of rain. We'll be at Dwight's in a couple of minutes. Oh, don't you think we'd better put the top up? We'll be drenched. You won't melt. Oh, Dwight, please. Oh, all right. It'll make you feel any better. Hurry, Dwight. Look out. Look out. Oh, goodness. Oh, well, I hope you're satisfied. I'm sorry, Jen. Look at my dress. I can't go to Dwight's looking like this. Come on.  Where are we going? My place. It's only a minute. Hold tight. Put your feet up on the fireplace. I feel like a sponge. One sharp twist and I can bring myself out. I must be a sight. Don't you believe it? You look beautiful.  You'll always look beautiful to me, Jen. You know that, don't you? It's very kind of you, I'm sure. Don't, Jen. Don't what? Don't keep putting you off like that. You shouldn't, you know. We can't just go on laughing and pretending forever. It's not a laughing matter. Not with me. I love you, Jen. Give me a cigarette, please. Oh, of course. I wish you hadn't said that, Dwight. Why? Well, it's been such fun being with you. Now, you've spoiled it. Because I told you I loved you? That's not the first time I've said it. It's the first time since I've been married to Ace. I'd like to believe it's the last. It isn't. I'll never stop telling you. Then I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for our friendship. You see, Dwight, I love my husband. Oh, how can you say that? You're not happy with him. But I am.  I thought you were above petty little conventionalities. He's not your kind, Jen. And you are, I suppose. I love you. I could make you happy. Oh, Jen, darling. Will you get my coat, please? Jen. I'm leaving. I'm sorry, Dwight. It seems I've led you into believing something about me that isn't true. My coat, please. You can't just leave it at that. I can, and I'm going to. Good night. Jen. Jen, darling. Let me go. I won't. You don't mean what you're saying. You're putting on an act.  That it never has been, that it never will be. Who? Abe, who? All right. Put him on. Hello? Hello. Talk louder, please. Who's on his way? I can't hear you. Will you please tell me what you're talking about? All right, Sutro, where is she? May I ask what you're doing here and what you mean by breaking it? Don't give me that. Where is she? She was here a minute ago. You're mad. Oh, no, I'm not. I've had you followed for a week. You brought her here, now where is she? Get out of here. I warned you, Sutro. You wouldn't listen to me. I warned you. Stay away from me. Stay away. Don't reach for a gun, Sutro. Don't reach for a gun or I'll let you have it.  Hey, let go of me. Get away from that rock. This is Ace Wilfong. Send somebody up here right away. For station identification, this is the Columbia Broadcasting System. For the greatest producers the American stage has ever known, William A. Brady would be a most welcome guest on any program of the Lux Radio Theater. His presence tonight between the acts of our play is doubly appropriate, for he not only brought a free soul to Broadway, but during its run there, enacted the role of Stephen Ash. His countless other hits include such immortals as Way Down East and Trilby. Husband of Grace George and father of Alice Brady, Mr. Brady's life reads like the history of the theater. One of the giants of the sporting world, too. He revolutionized boxing during the years that he managed the famous champion, gentlemen Jim Corbett. On the stage, his champions included David Warfield, Catherine Cornell, Helen Hayes, Mary Nash, Henry Hull and Douglas Fairbanks. The Lux Radio Theater extends its stage to New York City and brings you William A. Brady. Thank you, Mr. DeMille. It's the privilege of a young man to look forward and an old man to look back. I've been close to the theater since the days of Edwin Boone. I've seen motion pictures grow from nothing at all into an international patch time. And radio from a howling static-filled discord to its statue of perfection exemplified by the Lux Radio Theater. The sponsors of which, by the way, deserve tremendous credit for the part that they have taken in the present rejuvenation of the American theater. In my youth, variety was the spice of life. For example, some 30 years ago I managed a heavyweight championship fight on one night and presented Robert B. Mantell in his first performance of King Lear on the following night. People often ask me, what was my proudest moment? Well, it was at the time that I made Helen Hayes a star or discovered Douglas Fairbanks or the night when Corbett knocked out the mighty John L. Sullivan. It could be any of these, but down in my heart I still feel the thrill of never since duplicated that came to me as a skinny, ragged little boy. It was the night that I sat in the old boo theater on 23rd Street and when, from my seat in the last row of the top gallery, I heaved a marble during the sleep-walking scene of Macbeth and scored a disrept hit on the bass drum miles below me in the orchestra pit. Now that's one way of making a hit in the theater. Most of my life since then has been working for hits from behind the footlights. There is one honor there that I share with Lux Flakes, for they've played a star role backstage and many a Broadway hit. As a producer, I know they are the tops in wardrobe department. Today, it's the Hollywood costume to take athletes and turn them into actors. Well, it's nothing new, my friends. Nothing new. It started long, long ago in the golden days of boxing when Jim Corbett would play Armand in Camille and John L. Sullivan would stand them up in honest hearts and willing hands. Many youngsters claim that there are few fields not overcrowded today. But let a young fella bust loose. Let him find a spot that's not so crowded. Let him take a chance and luck or stubbornness will see him through. After all, it looks very much like the same old world to me. My congratulations to you, Mr. DeMille, to Miss Rogers, to Mr. Winninger and to Mr. Amici for giving a play very dear to my heart. My congratulations to Lux Flakes and to all the people who buy Lux and so make such a superb presentation possible. Thank you. Thank you, William Brady. We're back in Hollywood now where a free soul with Ginger Rogers, Don Amici, and Charles Winninger is continued. It's early the next morning. In his cell in the city jail, Ace is seated on the edge of an iron cot. His shoulders drooping.  Suddenly, he hears footsteps in the corridor and springs to his feet, every nerve alert. Five minutes, Miss. Thank you. Oh, Ace. Oh, Ace, darling, what have I done to you? It's all right, honey. Don't cry. I killed the right that's all. Oh, why did you? There was nothing wrong, Ace. I swear it. You've got to believe that regardless of what happens, you've got to know that, Ace. I do know it. That's what makes this bearable claim. I never doubted you. Not down deep, I didn't. I was just all on fire inside. I didn't go there to kill him. Just to give him a scare. He went for a gun. Oh, how can life do such things to people? I love you, Ace. I've never loved anyone but you. I wish I could take my heart out and show it to you. Shh. Please, please. It's my fault. Everything is my fault. I thought I was a free soul and I'm not. Because I belong to you. It came to me last night when you didn't come home and then I heard and I thought about you here and me there. Oh, I died, Ace. I died. I'd tell you if I ever live again. Hey, hey, please stop it. You don't know what you're saying. Look at me. I'll be all right. Everything is going to be all right. It's got to be. They've never hanged a man for a thing like this. I was up there to Sutrose yesterday. And when the jury knows that... Wait, Jan, listen. You've got to promise me something. Anything, Ace? I... He mustn't spill that stuff about being up there, Jan. You know what I mean? It'll seem tough but that's the way I'm going to play it. You mean you... you wouldn't let me go understand to save you? Yeah, that's just what I mean. No, sweet, we can't. You married me against the wishes of everyone, even your father.  My good name?  Do you think that means anything if you're taken away from me? Oh, no, Ace, I'd yell it from the top of the ferry building that I was there. That it was my fault. No, you won't. You're not going on the stand. Who can stop me? Your father. He's going to defend me. Dad? Oh, no, Ace, you can't. Oh, he's my father, but... but I know he... he can't save you. He's through, Ace. He hasn't had a case in months. He... well, he couldn't even plead one. I'm laying a bet on him. Can't you? Oh, I see. You don't care about being saved. You're letting him defend you because you know he'll... he'll never let me testify. No, no, James. It's true. You've no confidence in him yourself. You couldn't have. If he does what I asked, that's all I want. Oh, that's right. And, uh, and Rolfang was standing by the window looking out. Mm-hmm. And what happened then? Well, he... he handed me the gun and he said, Here's the gun that killed him. It's mine. I did it. Thank you. Your witness, Mr. Ash. Mr. Ash, the attorney for the state has offered the witness. No questions, Your Honor. Do I understand, Mr. Ash, that you have no wish to cross-question any of the state's witnesses? Yes, Your Honor. Very well. Witnesses excused. The defense will proceed with this case. Call your first witness. If it pleases the court, there will be no witnesses for the defense. What's that? Your Honor, the defense rests. No, no! I won't. They're trying to protect me, Your Honor. They won't let me take the stand because they know what I'll say. That I was in Dwight Sutrow's apartment the night he was shot. That my husband knew I was there. That's why he came. Your Honor, I asked the court's permission to speak for a moment with my wife. Their prisoner will not address the bench. But, Your Honor, try it. Try it, please. Young lady, will you please take your seat? Mr. Ash, do you wish to present this young woman as a witness? Oh, Dad, please. Please, you've got to. You don't know what you're doing. And well, Mr. Ash. The defense rests, Your Honor. There will be no witnesses. Has the state concluded its case? They have, Your Honor. And the attorney for the defense will sum up, please. Thank you. Your Honor, gentlemen of the jury, you have seen in this court a man on trial for his life. A man accused of the foulest of crimes, premeditated murder, murder in the first degree, for which there is but one penalty. Death. You have heard witnesses for the prosecution and none for the defense. You have seen a young woman, my own daughter, rise in defense of her husband and tell you... I object, Your Honor. The woman who was not a witness, her testimony was not entered into evidence. Objection sustained. Proceed, please. The district attorney is right, gentlemen. You must strike from your mind everything that that woman said. Strike it from your heart if you can. You heard that woman? You know she spoke the truth. And you know that if you bring in a verdict of guilty, you will be placing a rope around the neck of an innocent man. Objection. There's been no evidence for the defense to prove the accused innocent. Objection overruled. I take it, Mr. Ayash, he's dealing in certain attendant circumstances. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you. Attendant circumstances. Circumstances not born of the moment, day or hour, but wicked, profane and damnable teachings. Look at that girl, the wife of the accused.  It's God's truth. For since she was old enough to listen, I have dimmed into her ears that she was a free soul.  I cried out to her that she must follow her desires and be honest and open with them. These were my teachings. And may God forgive me. She had no mother. Could we expect her to see that her father was a money bank, a trickster, a fool? Her desires, innocent as they might have been, led her into the company of another man, despite the wishes of her husband. Are you beginning to see who is the guilty man? Do you reason now who should be on trial here today? I, Stephen F. Ace Wolfong, held the pistol, but my hand pulled the trigger. There's only one freedom, knowing and obeying God. There never has been but one man big enough to be a free soul on this earth, and they nailed him to a cross. But he forgave. Yes. And that's what I'm asking you to do today. I ask you to forgive this man. I ask my daughter to forgive me. Oh, Dad! Dad! In the jury, have you reached a decision? We have. We find the defendant not guilty. Oh, darling! He did it for us, Dan. He gave us a life again. Oh, Dad! Dad! Look at me! You were wonderful, darling. And I do forgive you. Oh, I forgive you everything. Dad. Dad, don't you hear me? Well, don't just sit there, darling. Wait a minute. What's the matter? Steve! Leave of a free soul. The later we'll hear again from Ginger Rogers, Donna Mechie, and Charles Winninger. Adrian, the screen's most famous fashion designer. Tonight makes a return of engagement in the Lux Radio Theatre. A Connecticut Yankee who started on the stage with Irving Berlin, he was brought to Hollywood by Mrs. Rudolph Valentino. It's he who designs the screen clothes at Metro Golden Mayor Studios for such renowned beauties as Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Greta Gabo, Myrna Lloyd, Jeanette Macdonald, and Louise Reiner. When he last, he mentioned the fashion influence Greta Gabo exited in Camille. And now, Adrian, that she's completed her new film, Conquest. Would you say that she maintains our leadership? Yes, I do. And one of the more interesting fashion influences of Conquest is a little black velvet cap that looks as if it were a snail shell. Does that sound particularly ridiculous? It would have a few years ago, but today, for the sake of peace in the family, I take the funniest hat seriously. So do I. And this is about the only period in history in which a woman can put the most ridiculous-looking contraption on her head, look in the mirror, and accept it seriously. Hats were never so humorous, but strangely enough, they're accepted even by husbands. I'm not accepted, tolerated. My own feeling about extraordinary hats is that they're far more interesting than humorous. An unusual hat, carefully selected, brings out a woman's personality. She becomes an individual instead of a conventional type. Getting back to Gabo, she's a very important style influence simply because she's not at all interested in style. Therefore, I can design anything that I think will look well on her and if she agrees about it, she'll wear it regardless of fashion and it will usually start a new trend. Most women don't want to start a new trend. They want to play follow the leader. Right. The majority are very antagonistic to a new fashion. It's only after they've seen a new style worn by their favorite actress by the best dressed woman at their club and finally by their favorite enemy that they decide to take a chance with it themselves. How do you account for this being the most lavish season in women's dress for 20 years? Is it an indication of good times? Well, on the contrary, a lavishness in dress, a willingness to indulge in unusual ideas are always apparent when the world seems on the edge of something momentous. How accurate this barometer is, I can't say, but whenever international affairs are unsettled, extravagance in fashions will blossom forth amazingly. There's another reason, too, which I hope is truer. It's the fact that today the old law of what they're wearing no longer exists. Most women are at last dressing according to what happens to become the best as individuals. And from all I hear, Adrian, Miss Cabo's new picture is going to be one of Hollywood's greatest. What can you tell us about it? Well, if for no other reason, Conquest is a great picture because while it's the story of Napoleon played by Charles Boyer, never in the entire picture does Napoleon put his hand inside of his coat. The reason is quite unromantic. We found that Napoleon suffered from dispepture, and the only time he struck that so-called characteristic pose was when he had to stomach ache. Thousands of costumes were made for Conquest, and thanks to Lux Flakes, they remained perfect through the weeks of production, look as new today as when they were created. When you see Conquest or any other film and you discover fashion ideas you'd like to copy, just remember that picture styles are created with three things in mind. They must be historically accurate. They must become the star, and they must create certain dramatic effects. So don't take them too literally. Be conservative, and you'll be well-dressed. Thank you. Thank you, Adrian. Number three has a charm, and here's a charming trio. Ginger Rogers, Donna Mechie, and Charles Wenninger. Thank you. And as the old timer here, CB, I want to say what a pleasure it's been playing tonight with two of the greatest youngsters in pictures. I'd include you, Charlie, and make it three of the greatest youngsters. Oh, thank you, thank you. Only a few, well, a very short time ago that Ginger was starting her career on the musical stage, and Don was just another unknown radio actor. This gives me a chance, Charlie, to ask a question I'm sure is in the minds of many in our audience. Tell us, Ginger, now that you've made stage door and are in the middle of another non-musical picture with a third one to follow that, does it mean you're through with singing and dancing pictures? By no means, Don. What I want is variety, and now that I've had it, I'm looking forward to doing a musical again. This has been a very happy year for me, and I only hope it has been equally happy for all of our listeners. And there's only one more thing I want to say. The last time I was here, CB, I said that all I did in Hollywood was play Papa. Well, just let me be Papa to Ginger and you, Don, and I'll never complain again. Thanks, Charlie. Good night, Mr. DeMille. Good night, you three youngsters. Mr. DeMille, thank you for deciding you the next big playing star. Good night, including Claire Whitney as Dorothea, Myra Marsh as Grace, Edward Marr as Abe, Eddie Cain as Charlie, Lou Merrill as District Attorney, Norman Field as Judge, James Eagles as Officer, Justina Wayne as The Maid, Sally Creighton as Secretary, Frank Nelson as Foreman, and Ken Chevelle as The News Boy. Mr. Amici appeared through courtesy of the makers of Chason Sanburn Coffee and 20th Century Fox Studios, where our conductor, Louis Silvers, was in charge of music for the new film, Alaba Goes to Town. Mr. Arnold is from RKO Studios. And here he is. Next Monday night, the Lux Radio Theater presents one of the most popular figures of motion pictures and radio, making his first appearance before our microphone, Bing Crosby. Sharing our spotlights with the nonchalant Mr. Crosby is that lovely and delightful comedian, Miss Joan Blondel. We've been fortunate in securing for their vehicle a brisk and sparkling collegiate comedy that was heartily cheered on both stage and screen. She loves me not. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night, when the Lux Radio Theater presents Bing Crosby and Joan Blondel in She Loves Me Not, featuring Nan Gray. This is Cesar B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. Announces the Melville Road. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Hey, everyone. Welcome to figure fantasy. We have a new event here with cream trap starting with Ingredient manager and we're off to easy stage Okay, first lineup is Arisa should deal the most damage and all figures must survive. Let's check this out Okay, first and foremost you have some nada in front Um, the only more fire damage you need you need a lot of fire or ignite damage here to clear this stage And I think he's he's good enough to be able to clear and to survive For the duration. So there we go Three star clears guys and let's move to the next one next up would be hard stage and let's see my lineup for this one Okay, guys, so this is my lineup Just be wary Make sure that if you don't you know achieve this because Arisa didn't deal more damage. Just do this again because again, there is a Concern with Midori this lineup although you can clear this lineup fast But Midori should deal more damage than the rest of them. So there you go Again, if you if you having a difficulty clearing this on the first and second tries The next few tries will be good for you already. So here we are three star clears and let's move on to the next one Okay, last one would be torment and let's go. Okay, so for torment lineup here and The same parameters all figures survive, but you have to clear this within 25 seconds You I had to replace I had to use Zephyr here to be able to recharge Arisa's Ultimate as often as possible because again, she has low energy to start So there we go. We have a few seconds left around 12 11 10 seconds left and We still have three we have seven seconds left of four We have There you go Okay, guys, that is it. So again RNG. Please make sure that you repeat same lineup and you'll be good Thank you guys for staying this far. Take care. Stay safe. This is the warden and I'm out of here


Thank you, Ken. Gene. Now I at the public hearing expressed my concern about this proposal and felt that the example that was given for why we should do this was an example about why we shouldn't do this. That there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. The line has been drawn at 2,000 square feet. And it seems to have worked. We've had larger and smaller restaurants come and go in town at that number. And Ken points out a lot of reasons why larger restaurants need more review. So maybe it could be higher than 2,000. I don't see any justification for 4,000 or anywhere near 4,000. The other thing that I had mentioned last time was that if we had site design review, that would be an alternative. But we don't have that. And until we have it, I think for the reasons Ken stated, we need to continue the special permits for restaurants greater than 2,000 square feet. So I'm not in favor of this article. Thank you, Gene. Melissa. Well, in general, I actually feel supportive. I think this is a supportive action for restaurant and hospitality in Arlington. I don't see 4,000 square feet being excessive. I think even the site where you're not your average Joe's and then the desire for Chase Bank wanted to go in was about 4,000 square feet. And I don't see that being egregious in terms of its impact in the neighborhood. I think we've been doing better with parking and parking management in the town and with meters, with enforcement. And so I would support this. Thank you, Melissa. Steve. I do have a question. If even without a special permit, when someone wants to open a restaurant, they do need to get permits from the Board of Health at least with respect to things like dumpster placement and that sort of thing. Correct. Jenny, can you further clarify? Board of Health, the Select Board, those abbey inspection services. I mean, there's still other permitting entities. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm with Melissa on this one. I don't think this is terribly large. Um, one of the other elements that or one of the one of the. Yeah, I'll just say that I agree with Ms. Jantacal on this one. So I'm supportive. Great. Thank you, Steve. And I will see if there are any other any other discussion. Any other questions from any of the board members? All right. Richard, what's your opinion? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't have my opinion. I also feel that to me, the number seems a bit arbitrary. Again, I too, I think the point that Ken and Gene made could almost pick any number out, but I don't think that the petitioner has specifically identified why 4,000 is the right number. So if we're going to make a change, I would, I would want to better understand why. I'll go back to Ken. Any, any further thoughts or questions? No, you didn't help. I'm still on the fence. Um, I mean, I'd like to add to that. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, of all the industries, I know restaurants are the most regulated industry as, you know, you know, Jenny was saying between board of health state and several of these other agencies that have to approve kind of food plans and moving forward.  I mean, I think this is a supportive action in that, that very classic kind of economic development, you know, policy on a community level. I think the oversight on trash cans and stuff like that. I mean, I think that's kind of a little controlling. And I think we could kind of give that and trust that, you know, our staff would be on top of that. What about traffic?  It sounds a little crazy. I know there's kind of the dynamics of like people will turn away, but I think we've managed parking. We've have meters now. We have, you know, technology in those meters. We've done a better in terms of locating some of the parking offsite into some of the lots. And so I think, and if we're trying to encourage walkability, if we look around the density of the corridor where residents would, you know, where restaurants would be allowed, I think kind of in terms of the density of residents just like down the quarter, I think we'd find that, you know, it's still and could encourage that walkability. And so I feel like there's, you know, this is kind of, to me, it seems pretty small in the big scheme of things. I mean, we're putting some art, we're letting some of the analysis on the FAR on development be proposed by a citizen petition without further analysis. But on a 4,000 square foot restaurant, I think we could consider allowing that by right. So I'll just add to that. If I were going to support this at all, I would want it to be in alignment with the retail size, which is 3,000 square feet. Again, I just feel like 4,000 is completely arbitrary. And I think that one of the reasons why we have these numbers here is so that we can review facade activation. There are a number of other items that I think are important for us to review, especially when you get to some of those larger square footage items, because we are able then to, you know, ensure that windows are activated or perhaps fold. I mean, there are lots of different ways that we can work with an applicant when they are taking a larger square footage parcel within the town. So again, if I were to look at this in terms of how to make this less arbitrary, I would ask that it be the restaurants become in alignment with the retail square footage requirements. Richard, are you going to ask asking that of James, is he willing to change it to 3,000 or? I'd want us to discuss that first. And then yes, we could certainly, if others feel that that is something that they'd like to see, or if they prefer the 4,000 or again, there's no support for that. I'd want us to discuss that and then we can ask James. That gets me off the fence. Okay. I'd like to say a couple things before we ask James. Sure. One is, James did not present any information that the current levels are an impediment for any restaurant coming to town. And before the pandemic, we were known for restaurants of various sizes and types. The two, you know, the, I think, five years I've been on the board, I can recall two restaurants that came before us for special permits. And we asked them for minor changes and approve them relatively quickly. So, I don't think we've been an impediment. I think we've helped. And there's been no evidence presented that this has really been an impediment other than, oh, maybe somebody wouldn't do it, you know, because of having to go get a special permit. So, yeah, I'm really not convinced that there's a case made to change this in any way. Thank you, James. Melissa? I mean, I would agree with Rachel and that, you know, as much as the number is kind of arbitrary, given what I've seen, again, in my experience, they tend to be smaller restaurants. I mean, the larger corporate ones, you know, see many more need a much larger footprint for some of the larger, I would say impactful restaurants. So, I could see the alignment with the retail piece at 3000 makes sense. You have some, if that's by right currently, the retail, and then you have a restaurant that is the same square footage, I would say that would be okay. Thank you, Melissa. Steve? I would also, I would be fine with aligning with retail. There's one other thing that is actually in the main motion that we haven't mentioned, which is that for the B-4 district, we're adding a Y. I think that's a little bit significant. The B-4 district is our vehicular oriented business district. I think that's what it's called. But basically it's, you know, there's the district's definition talks about, you know, having auto repair facilities and filling stations and body shops. And, you know, saying that as these businesses go out of, out of, as these businesses turn over or, you know, stop operating, the bylaw would like something not automotive to go into those districts. But, you know, the restaurant use under, you know, under the, that first restaurant line was never, was not allowed. And I am, I am glad that it would, you know, to see the Y as part of that main motion. But I, yeah, I'm fine with 3000 feet. I think that would be fine. Great. Thank you, Steven. Thank you for that. For pointing that out, I think that's an important call out as well for, for everybody. So at this time, I think I'd like to ask James as to whether or not you would be amenable to a change from 4000 square feet to 3000 to align with the requirements for, for retail, retail use. I mean, I guess so, but the 3000 for retail is also an arbitrary number. And the 2000 that is there now is arbitrary as well. And the only reason we're not talking about them that way is that they've been there for decades at this point. So I will reluctantly accept 3000, but I would challenge you that 4000 and 3000, no matter what the number you pick, there's still arbitrary. There's still arbitrary. Thank you, James. Further discussion? I'll start with, with Ken. No, I'm all set. Okay. Gene? I think 3000 is better than 4000. I'm still going to vote no on it. And they're not arbitrary. Sometimes you have to pick a number and you have to do the best that you can to determine where the number should be. And sometimes history, not always, but sometimes history is a good guide to whether the number you chose works or not. And becomes no longer arbitrary when it seems to be working fine. Thank you, Gene. Melissa, I have no further comment. Thank you, Steve. Nothing further from me, Madam Chair. All right. So is there a motion to recommend action on article, and you could you scroll up, trying to get back to my question. In your article 44, restaurant uses as amended. I moved to make a support, an action. Recommend action. Thank you. On article, what number are we? Article 44 as amended. 44 as amended. Thank you. Thank you. Is there a second? I'll second. Thank you, Ken. We'll take a vote. Ken? Yes. Gene? No. Melissa? Yes. Steve? Yes. And I'm a yes as well. So we will recommend action for article 44 as amended. All right. And our next article is article 45, which is a Zoni by law amendment related to appeals. And this was inserted at the request of Sophie Meazzo and 10 registered voters. And Jenny, I know that we had quite a bit of discussion. Did the petitioner make any changes following the public hearing? I think Gene is going to talk about a potential change that he discussed with the petitioner, but we did also have the opportunity to have a discussion with town council. And I wanted to share that with the board. Great. If that's possible. Yes. Thank you. So regarding the appeals, this whole discussion, Doug provided three concerns about the article as follows. The first one was that, and we talked about this, and I think it was in the memo originally, but that it's possibly the preemption by state law issue. The second one that I think we also discussed either in the memo or during the hearing was that it's not consistent with the town manager act. Individuals who have complaints with inspectional services department handling of any complaint can write to the town manager to request any sort of additional action. So that is something that can happen right now. And that is technically what the purpose of the town manager act is for, not to direct another body. And then further, to continue what the town council suggested, this puts the zoning board of appeals in a very difficult position because the appeal would not be an appeal of the building inspector's decision or interpretation of the zoning bylaw, but rather that the complainant disagrees with the building inspector's decision not to take civil action. So this is ultimately not a matter that the CBA has any authority over. And that was the nature of the discussion with town council. And I just want to put that in the record and offer that that is the primary follow-up that I did. But again, there was further follow-up by Jean. Great. Thank you so much, Jenny. Jean. So Jenny, can you put up the revised main motion, please? So while Jenny's looking for, I'll just say the petitioner contacted me after the public hearing, maybe because I had the most concerns or expressed the most concerns, and asked if we could work on coming up with an alternative, which is what we did, which Jenny is going to share pretty soon. And I just want to just walk you through it. So in the original main motion, they would have amended 3.1.2B to say that to require the building inspector to institute appropriate action of proceedings in the name of the town. But it seemed like you can't ask the town to bring a loss. So they said, okay, let's not do that. And instead, they put in the bolded language instead in 3, which basically gives the building inspector a lot of time to take action. So what's the action? The building inspector has determined there's a violation. The building inspector has issued an order that says you, person, are in violation of the zoning by-law. You must abate the violation by a certain amount of days, but then the person doesn't abate the violation. So the zoning, so the next step if the town wanted to pursue it would have to be to go to court against the person because they're not obeying the town's, the building inspector's order to abate. So this is what we, and so this basically just gives a way to get to the zoning Board of Appeals. And this is what Jenny and I and the building inspector discussed with town council, not the original one, but this one. And Jenny accurately reported the town council's concerns about this. And I said to the town council, well, are you saying then that if the building inspector doesn't go to court because he's too busy, there's too much going on, you know, whatever, the appropriate reason is that the person making the request doesn't have any remedy. And so, well, and the town council said basically two remedies, one, you know, the building inspector reports to the town manager. So you can go to the town manager and say, hey, town manager, this is going on, something needs to happen. And Doug didn't say this, but I will say if they're not satisfied with what the town manager says in response or the response that they get thereafter, they can always go to the select board because the town manager reports the select board so they can do that administratively. Or, you know, town council said they can sue in court against the violator for nuisance. One of the people who brought the article said, you know, there's this court case, which he allowed me to read, which he gave me to read, I should say, which says you can't sue somebody else for a zoning violation.   If you can't get any, any satisfaction within the town is not a great answer. But I think Doug pointed out, the board of appeals doesn't have the authority, the zoning board of appeals to tell the building inspector of the town to bring a lawsuit. So, you know, it seems like the remedies are to go up the administrative ladder in town or to, and, you know, try to get something done or to go to court yourself. So that's where it's left. Thank you for the clarification, Jean. So start the discussion with Ken. Yeah, I'd like to ask one question to Jean, I'm not sure, or Jenny. The building inspector is hired and works under the state inspector. Am I not correct? As well as the town manager. Okay, so if the building inspector is not doing his job or not following regulations, then you step it up to the state inspector and let him know that this is happening. There's no mention of this whatsoever here. I'm a little concerned about that. And that usually, I agree with Jean, that's the next step, I believe, and then you can go to the town manager. But I still think this is just repetitive and I'm not sure I agree with this at all right now, just the whole thing. I think, I don't know what happened with this person who may have an issue and the building inspector didn't follow through or didn't do something. But I think this is making this whole article just for that reason is not there. And I'm not supportive of this at all. I think it adds more, I don't know, just because someone's unhappy with the outcome. I mean, was the town manager notified? What was the town manager's position on? What did happen there? I think there's so many other things. I kind of concur with Doug that this is too much of a burden on the zoning board. Thank you, Ken. We'll go to Melissa next. I'm not inclined to support moving this forward. I think Doug explained well, the limitations, number one, and number two, it does feel like it's adding a level of litigation or opportunities for that don't see it well and kind of articulated through Doug Town Council. So that's where I'm at. Thank you, Steve. Just to clarify the what we're looking at on the screen is the revised main motion. That's my understanding, yes. I can also take this down and put the original up, if that would be right. This is better, better to have if the original is not in play anymore, better to have the one that is. Yeah, I think I am inclined to agree with, agree with Melissa and, you know, if there is a, it sounds like there is a remedy through the Town Manager Act. And I would be concerned about introducing new avenues for litigation. So thank you. Thank you, Gene. So a couple of things. Yeah, what Ken pointed out is sort of interesting that the building inspector reports to both the Town Manager and the state building inspector. Although what I don't know is whether the state building inspector can say something to the building inspector, what the building inspector is doing is not an interpretation of the building code, not an interpretation of the zoning bylaw, but just failing to have the town go to court. So I'm not clear that the state building inspector can come on down on the local building inspector on that. I just don't know. In my conversations with, well, let me ask this, what would you think if the people who had brought this article had spoken to the Town Manager many times over the course of many months and nothing changed? Would that change your mind? I mean, it doesn't change my mind, Gene. I would agree. I think that introducing something that, number one, is possibly not allowable in terms of process by state law. And that puts the DBA in a position that where they don't actually have authority over the building inspector, this doesn't solve for what you just mentioned. Yeah, so I'm not inclined to support it either. I think we have, you know, if we vote no action, what will go to Town Meeting, I think is not this, but the original main motion, am I right about that, Jenny? Correct. So if the proponent of the article wants to put in a substitute motion at Town Meeting, they'll have to make that happen. Yeah, I'm not saying I support this. I just wanted to lay out what happened and the results of my conversations with the article proponents. Thank you, Gene. And I really do appreciate you taking the time to meet with everybody and to to try and understand the impetus for the article and to craft something that better achieved their aim in terms of what the town bodies could support. So thank you for doing all that work. Any further discussion? I'll just run through. Ken? Steve? Nothing. Melissa? Yeah. Gene? Yeah, I would just say I wish I could support something for them, but based on the conversation with Doug and with the building inspector, I just don't think there's any way to amend the zoning bylaw to get what they want. Thank you. Okay, so at this time, I will see if there is a motion to recommend no action for article 45. Motion to recommend no action. Sorry, go ahead. I will second that, Ken. Thank you. We'll take a vote. Ken? Yes. Gene? Yes. Melissa? Yes. Steve? Yes. And I am a yes as well. So we will recommend no action for article 45. All right. So at this time, we will return back to article 30, which we had tabled, the article for solar installation. Let's get back to that one. Give me one second. And we will reopen discussion. Gene, is your... I just hoped for Shelley on the participant list and did not see her. Okay. So if we go to the next page, which is where we, I think, had the question. Yes. Yes. So the question, I think, if you go, no, no, up a little more. Yeah, like that. The question really is whether we keep in A what has been deleted and get rid of that sentence that Jenny has highlighted in gray above or whether we keep the gray sentence and get rid and delete what Jenny has deleted in yellow. I think those are our two options. Agreed. So, you know, Ken's point is, look, if you keep the gray one, then somebody's, you know, is going to the board not knowing, let's say that they have, you know, that maybe 40% of their roof is covered with solar, could be solar, whether they need solar until they ask the board. On the other hand, if somebody does have 40% of their roof that's solar ready, do we want to say no? You know, that that's okay not to put on solar because they're not up at 50%. The we borrowed liberally from the Watertown ordinance on this. The Watertown ordinance did not have the smaller percentage of the roof area. Instead it had a part in A that's not highlighted in yellow. And when Shelly spoke to the Watertown staff person, you know, he said this is working great. Everybody who's had to do it has put the solar on the roof. There have been no problems whatsoever. But we didn't really ask about the smaller percentage piece. And Shelly was the one who thought the smaller percentage piece was a good idea, which is why I was hoping that she should be here. I don't really want to speak for her. So I'm sort of interested. I think if those of you think it's better to get rid of the gray and put the yellow back in, that's fine. If you want to keep the gray and get rid of the yellow, that's fine too. I don't want to speak for Shelly one way or the other. Great. Thank you for that additional clarification, Jean, on where those two sections came from. So let's let's just go through again for discussion and see what the members of the board are thinking on this one. And we'll start with Kim. I would go for the yellow. Okay. Melissa. I'm fine with the yellow. I mean, overall, I'm supportive of the whole article. I mean, I think if I have to comment now on the yellow versus the gray, I'd probably go with yellow. Okay. Steve. I would favor retaining the yellow and striking the gray. So that it's clear and the applicants know what to expect. Great. I would agree with that as well. I think that making a clear standard is important. And we, I think I'd prefer to keep the yellow as well. I'm sorry we didn't make it gold because then we're going to say let's go with the gold. You know it's late at night, but those are the jokes that I have. All right. Gene, are you comfortable with that? Yes. I mean, yeah. Again, I wish Shelly was here to choose between the two or to try to explain, but I think this is fine too. Okay. Great. So with that, is there a motion to recommend action on article 30 as amended? Yes. Motion to recommend action. Second. Okay. We'll take a vote starting with Ken. Yes. Gene. Yes. Melissa. Yes. Steve. Yes. And I have a yes as well. Right. So that brings us to the end of agenda item number one. I'm trying to get back into my agenda. One second, please. All right. So that brings us to the end of agenda item number one, the zoning warrant articles. So as next steps, Jenny and Kelly, thank you so much for all of the work we will, we know you will be doing between now and Thursday to pull together this memo to town meeting, which we will then review at our Thursday evening agenda. And Jenny, Kelly, is there anything that you would like to add regarding process as we move forward? No. I think you'll have the draft report to town meeting by tomorrow afternoon and look forward to the discussion of it on Thursday. That's it. Great. Thank you so much. And thank you to the members of the department and all of the petitioners and members of the public who've weighed in on all of the articles. All of your comments are very much appreciated and led to some really wonderful dialogue, again, for all of these 18 zoning warrant articles. So thank you so much. All right. So at this time, we'll move to agenda item number two, which are, which is the review of meeting minutes. And we'll start with the meeting minutes for March 7th. And I will just run through and see if anyone has any modifications, starting with Jean. I submitted my modifications to all three of them earlier today. Okay, great. Thank you, Steve. Nothing beyond what I submitted earlier. Okay. Kim? Yes, I had one, but I'm not sure which date it was. I'm trying to find out. I'll come back to you. I'm fine with them. Okay. Jenny, if you can go to page five on these. Near the bottom. So where it's the paragraph that starts near the bottom, the chair open the floor to the board. And it says seeing none. I think it was the chair open the floor to the board. If you keep going up, it's the one, two, three, fourth paragraph on the bottom, the chair open the floor to the board for comments. And then that makes more sense because we're seeing none. And then under on page six, where it says under Mr. Revillac recommended the next line down, the chair asked if there was a motion to continue. You can just add the public hearing. Thank you. Kim, did you find? Yes, it's on. I'm not sure why I highlighted it now. It was on, the first one page is four of six. But after all those letters, I had three. So I'm maybe getting a little cock-eyed. It says Mr. Lau objected to the use of banks and offices. I'm not sure what I meant by that or what. I think it was we were removing that those words from the draft amendment at the time. So it might not be objected to the use of, but asked to delete banks and offices. As a non-active use? Yeah, that was what we removed. It used to be those two specific uses. Okay, then never mind. I don't know what I was, I had it all yellow, but for some reason, I don't know what I was trying to question. Is this a better way of phrasing it or from the description? Yes. I'll come back. Thank you, Jenny. Great. Thank you. Any other corrections or changes? All right. Is there a motion to approve the March 7th, 2022 meeting minutes as amended? So motion. Second. I'll second. Take a vote. Kim? Yes. Gene? Yes. Melissa? Yes. Steve? Yes. And I'm a yes as well. So the meeting minutes of March 7th have been approved as amended. So I'll now go to the meeting minutes for March 14th, 2022. And Gene and Steve, I assume you already submitted comments. So I'll go to Kim. Nope, I have no comments on this one. Melissa? No comments. And I had no comments either. So we'll take a vote to or see if there's a motion to approve the March 14th meeting minutes as amended. I will move to accept as amended. Second. Take a vote. Kim? Yes. Gene? Yes. Steve? Yes. Melissa? Yes. And I'm a yes as well. So the meeting minutes have been approved as amended for March 14th. I will now move to March 21st.
