All right, folks, welcome on back here. This Tuesday afternoon, shortly after 2.30 Eastern time, of course, December 19th still. So great to see all of our students and members alike just joining us once again inside our live trading room. Had Bill, Linda, Alex just before. Give me a quick chat back. If you can folks, just let me know if you can hear me loud and clear. And then of course, all of a sudden, otherwise on social media, Facebook Live, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, et cetera, wherever you may reside at CybertradingU, our social media streams and platforms there. So there we go. Larry, Linda, Bill, Mark, S joining us right now. Perfect, cool. So CJN actually still grinding on up here, grinding back on up a little bit, heading into this time of the day. I normally wouldn't be as keen to follow this trade unless it was holding a lot better near the highs. You know, it already popped up pretty nicely this morning and then it did shape back down pretty nicely. But I gotta tell you really, since we finished up our weekly workshops, since we finished up traders talk earlier today, this has made a pretty good comeback, right? Good volume on the order of books, so it's not some crazy 20 cent spread, crazy like level five stock. You know, it has really good liquidity. I like that. So for right now, does it hurt us to put this on our watch list once again here, the CJN? Not at all. It doesn't hurt us one bit. Let's actually do that to start. You know, we'll just see what else we got. And then as we just jump really quick, I wanna show the Nasdaq book viewer actually, because you know, actually we've been going over quite a bit more just kind of showing you how the Nasdaq book viewer, level three in particular, can really show you some good liquidity out there at times. So do that here if I may. See if this is on the Nasdaq or if I needed to come here anyway. And if it was perhaps through the EDGX order book. And I think that actually may have been the case. So here you see this big red line about 247,000 shares to the sell side. It's like pretty much right at 246, kind of an odd price. Well, you know, normally I'd be going right to book viewer here first and actually come into it second now, but it is to say that order is not showing. I even filtered out the size, 10,000 shares minimum. So, you know, this is a 200 near quarter million share size. If it's through Nasdaq, it's gonna pop up right here, which means it's not through Nasdaq, it's through a different ECN, the EDGX. So, you know what, hey, just keep your eyes peeled. We would call 250 resistance anyway. We would assume 250 as the level to begin with. So just seeing this order here, whether it's through the EDGX or Nasdaq, whether it's at 246 or 250, this simply just confirms the level to be right there. You know what I mean? So I'm gonna add this to our watch list. Nice, nice little trade here so far once the afternoon, see if it keeps going up towards that iceberg. And hey, really quick, if you don't have book map, no sweat because inside our trading room, we'll show that a lot further. You know, we always advocate for new traders joining us anyway, we gotta learn how to follow level three first, meaning the Nasdaq book viewer, otherwise, hey, got the trade station version of level three right here too. It's not close enough in price for that order to pop up just yet. So, you know, level four shows that in full, otherwise, hey, if you didn't know, now you know. Now you plot that line on your chart. So, you know, it's easy for you to recall it now just from what we just covered here. So, C-Gen on our list, it's still at nearly up 200%. And no better place to start than right at the top of the games list now at this point, because really there's a litany about the other trades we can cover. We got the PBLA, we got the MRO, we got the ALT. Just go right from top to bottom here. O-S-A, this stock actually is, I'm pretty familiar with. I think the last time we traded this stock, it was like a very similar pop and drop S move. It could have been this year, if I'm not mistaken, then just very light volume that day, only about 4.2 million shares, trading a lot more today at least. So, you know, it's dipped down a little bit here, back down towards the VWOT price, back down towards a dollar even. So, I'm not really too particular about it now, but hey, is it possible this could be the last line in the sand and this could hold over the whole number of price popping back up?  So, I'll come back to it if I need to. PBLA, a stock that I thought we'd be seeing at this time the day near the highs because coming off our workshop, it was pushing up pretty well back up to resistance, 180. We were saying the more it can attempt to crack over it, there's a good case for it to try and flip it into support. This was the first real crack of it, it looks like it held perfect here, held perfect here, crack first time. Very disappointing result. I mean, even if it just held back up again, that's really what you'd wanna see. It just showed right back down a really hard rejection and that typically spells game over. So, you know what this trade PBLA, Dunzo, we're not gonna follow it now at the stage. CIFR, yeah, warrants on this thing, CIFR, what is this stock? It's a 12%, the warrants are up nearly 50% right now. We don't care for the warrants right now because it's illiquid. I don't care for that right now. Just not much volume out there on the book entirely. It's not too frequent that you'll see the warrants be liquid, but you're gonna have better success trading the stock, trading just the regular equity of it. Cypher mining, Rich, just do me a favor, my friend, just follow up with me on the trade. Is this Bitcoin mining, is this gold mining? Just let me know on that. Cypher mining, let's take a look at that just a bit, but you know what, I mean, it's not at the highs, which I don't like, but this trade at least here, regular stock CIFR is pretty liquid, which we appreciate. It's up 12%, trending back up a bit there. I don't mind slipping on our list here for now, but I don't know, that's all. All right, what else we got here? This thing is no volume. E-bix, got crushed yesterday, it looks like, got crushed over time here, probably for a little while, this thing's been dropping. With that said, I mean, it's at the highs today, trying to make a small recovery now, not bad volume. Again, another stock doesn't hurt. UVI, not much happened in there. Let me keep the wheels moving. Don't need to go through every single one, just kind of skim through now at this point. You want to just really go through the top of the gainer is really in full, but then now we'll just be picky and choosy, just looking at certain trades. AFRM has just been a machine, just an absolute nuclear missile. This thing has been on fire just from early November, let alone just December here, nearly doubling up even from then. So what doesn't hurt us to put AFRM back on our list, just for a $51 stock, it's just becoming a better swing trade than a day trade, that's all. What else we got? Probably added that at that point, if AFRM's up, perhaps look at like SOFI, that's pretty slow, not looking too great there, honestly. Upstart, same deal. Wow, there's really that much divergence between AFRM and the rest of them. All right, we keep going down this list, and it's pretty much it. And as far as I see like name brand stocks, stocks we've called out previously, got a view, this thing is a bad order book normally, the skin refreshed on me. Nikola back down below a dollar, it's been that way actually for a couple of weeks now, just took your eyes off the trade for a little bit there. All right, so again, if there's anything else folks, just take a quick look, let me know. There we go, John, you're off, you're on an island right now. I see that you're logged in from South Carolina, my friends. Let me know what island you're on right now. Maybe a mental island. Hop over to the losers list right now, see if there's anything looking good from that side. And blue, this thing always sneaks up on our radar, like sneaks up underneath our radar a bit, either on the gainers list, or in this case on today on the losers side. This thing got clobbered actually back a week or two back seeing this year. So that was a nice swing trade perhaps for a little bit, but then whatever news came out that we had here back then, squash this thing was down like 60% in one day. So done with that trade for now. I think that's pretty much going to wrap it up here. I mean, really everything else below 5%, here's a ray, not really looking. It was trading right at the lows, if it was moving lower right now, it'd be more inclined, but right now it passed. All right, sir, let's see if there's anything else left for Benzinga Pro, and then we'll wrap up at this point. So again, if there's anything else looking good here, type it in the chat board, just let me know right away, and we'll take a brief look from you, but on my scans here, AUVI, CDIO, there's the eVix, which we've got, CGen, which we got. All right, so I guess I'll look at one or two more of these, then we're good, then that'll pretty much be it. CDIO, not terrible in terms of the liquidity, like tight spread right now, good tier size I could just see from level two, looking at this, not terrible tier size at least. 2.6 million shares on a day, I like that. Just, it looks a little spotty of late. I don't know, just looks like little spotty graph here and there, but you know what? We've traded the stock in the past, we are familiar with it, it's not our first rodeo on CDIO, doesn't mean for that to run, but we will add that to our list. SAMALDX, we shall take a look. I don't know if I skipped over this. Did I skip over this? I had to like, skipped over, leaped over. That's why we always say to ask, right? If there's anything else looking good, let me know. Yeah, I mean, hey, maybe I caught this as it was just kind of chopping around still, but just the last bar to bouncing back up. Regular session high of the day is right there at 355, actually, so yeah, call it like this one from Sam. ALDX, SPWR from Scott. It's recovered a lot already, Scott, just from yesterday's big gap down and drop. And it's possible it can keep going up a little bit more. In terms of opportunity costs, this is like tradable 1,000%, good order book, good spread, but I just, I don't know if we're gonna be able to see much more on this move. I feel like there's better opportunity on the ALDX, you know, the others at least so far. And that's good though, that's all right. I mean, I'd rather say that for a tradable stock than it's like, well, I'll tell you what, if this thing just pops right now in our face, and you know what, Scott?  Let's just see what comes to this little mini move here, 49,000 shares on the buy side, actually, at 4.66. Hey, prove me wrong, I'd love to see it. I don't mind the stock, it's level one, it's up 10%. Ah, I still think it's gonna be a slow trade, that's the issue, right? From Bill, CLF, probably seem to deal there. Yeah, more on the swing side. All right, I think that's pretty much it. I mean, we've got six stocks to work with so far. One of them affirm a little more expensive, so if you don't trade the more expensive stocks, then you know, just scratch that. But I got a decent list, I like what we got already, folks. So again, last call, let me know if there's anything else up, down, left, right, more than 5%, just let me know right now. I think it would be pretty much good job scanning. Sam with a nice one at the end there, the ALDX, one or two here, CENX, this one just popped up on my radar. Honestly, I just kind of fished around on my Benzinga scan. This was the first one I typed, but this thing's actually looking pretty good. CENX, aluminum stock pushing up pretty nicely. I don't know any other aluminum stocks out there, and I think this is like the biggest one if I'm not mistaken, at least I could think of. So, you know, it's up 12 plus percent. I like that, is that the highs? I like that, good order book, checks out. I like that. Let's see what else we got. I'm likely gonna add that one to our list, the CENX trade. I'll likely slip that one on there. Oh, see, well, yeah. I think that will pretty much just wrap it up here. Looks like SPWR trying to inch up another penny, Scott. All right, so we'll add those two, SPWR, and then the CENX. That's it. AA, I had a feeling that there was gonna be another one. I just didn't think of it off the top of my head. Then Wendy and Sam both said Alcoa. Alcoa, aluminum. Even as a trade right now, I think you have better bang for the buck on the CENX. That's all. I like what we got here, everyone. I'd say start and stick with this watch list. I know there were a couple of call-outs right after the market opened that were like 10-cent spread stocks. It's like, okay, let's start with what we got here, right, and just gives us the best opportunity to work with your heading into the close. Honestly, given the warrants that are out there, this CIFR is gonna be on the top of the watch list. I think this is the one I'm interested in the most myself. But we got plenty of others out there. I will be back on the mic. You're heading into the afternoon at three o'clock, and I'll have a blast. You'll have a nice ball heading into the close, all right? Lastly, just on YouTube, Facebook Live, et cetera, et cetera. I don't see any other comments or call-outs right there from you folks. That's all right, just do me a quick favor. If you have not done already, just make sure that you've liked, subscribed, right through our YouTube channel, youtube.com forward slash cyber trading you right there, just on the bottom left, and then on the top left, actually, just that QR code. Scan that QR code just there very quickly just to join us inside our live trading room if you ever have the chance to. And continue the audio commentary with us in the mornings, the afternoons. We just had our live workshop just there earlier today. We have all the recordings on our student portal. So as a trial member, you have access to that whole database organized with all of our classes, workshops, including trader's talk. So any questions from that folks? Again, please let me know. Josh at cttrading.com is the handle. Let me know if there's any other trades or questions that you want me to go over. But again, hey, I'm gonna refill up on water. We'll be good to go coming up in about T minus 14 minutes, folks. Talk to you all then. Take care.


Our next topic is teacher's professionalism. Teacher's professionalism is required for a quality early childhood education. So we, as a whole world, try to make some standards so that early childhood and care education should be given to some, as per some, fit standards. And these standards come through different types of movements. For example, we just talked about no child left behind. We don't want to leave any child behind. There are global educational reforms. We call them the global educational reform movement. In which they have said that you will standardize, you will assure the quality for all the students. And then you will follow a special kind of environment. Then there is the accountability of people. So these kinds of standards are especially for teachers. Educators of ECEK have been formed all over the world. And there are 10 standards of teacher education programs in Pakistan. Then is children's programs. Now the ECE that is in Pakistan, our schools, all the primary schools, there are ECE corners, ECE rooms. So this is that program. For example, in 1970, the Kachchi program was started so that the pre-ginder cartoon children can be trained. So our children's programs are started in different ways. Then teacher preparation. But if our pre-service teaching, like we understand that we are getting elementary B.A.D.B. in which especially the children, the small children of the classes, how to teach them, their pedagogies, we teach our pre-service teachers. So how to prepare the teacher, this is a very big need for this. A reason to teach? Why? Why will children be taught? And why will we start them before kindergarten? So the biggest answer to this is that in the whole world, now the principle is that as soon as they start learning, they should be given such an environment in which their performance is better than before. For example, if a child will interact with one thing then he will be able to know the name of one thing. But if he interacts with different fruits, then he will know everything. So in this situation, we want to see that how we can accelerate their learning and increase their learning. And how we can make their goals better. So this happened. Advocacy. There are a lot of children who don't have education. So if we don't do advocacy in people, we don't do propagation, that even a small child needs education, even if it is brought to school and it has rights, and it can benefit from it, then we don't be able to give better education to children. Now what should be our teacher, what should be the characteristics of it? So our Heisen 2000 and Nike, this was our movement for the children, they have given us five major principles of teacher professionalism. First of all, these five big ideas of effective practice are called and if you see, this is becoming a star. It's the Mariners' Star. So what do we have to do? We have to create caring communities of learners. Learning doesn't occur individually. It's also, it's always a cumulative experience. Learn together.  From home to outside, to school, where people learn together and teach children together. Then teach to enhance development and learning. Children have all kinds of development, holistically, social, emotional, cognitive, all kinds of learning will be enhanced. Then construct appropriate curriculum. So our curriculum developing bodies have to develop curriculum for children as per needs. And the teacher has to expedite it, implement it. So assess children's learning and development. Even if children are assessed in some way, the kind of skills they learn, we assess them in the same way. And finally, build reciprocal relationships with families. Children are not alone. Teachers have to connect with their families and their communities and do their homework according to their needs.


I met a team, we also have an obstetric and gynaecologist and also we have an emergency triage, we have a group of nurses here, emergency nurses who are doing a great job, dealing with anything that happens on the floor. In case anyone faints, anyone is very sick, they get to attend to them swiftly and fastly. The goal of this was mainly to get into the grassroots of this community. It was spearheaded by the MP of this area, Mr. Wanjalango. The purpose of this was to raise awareness about health issues because mostly commonly we have realized that hypertension and diabetes is one of the leading causes of mobility in this country. So we have created a setup here where we can do, we are creating a setup where we can do a triage so that we can find patients, we can get patients who are very sick and we can start them on management as soon as possible. We are also raising awareness on the importance of nutrition in kids. We are also giving free medication for those patients who need medication and we are also giving health education to everyone who is coming for the trip. So far we have received, when we began this session, patients started coming in to our facility as early as yesterday at 8pm. We have been able to try almost 100 patients this morning so we are grateful for the efforts that have been put. Thank you. We are doing it on your Facebook. You can see the result. In the hospital we have been doing, we did not expect this turnout. As I told you when you came in, it was very hard. And today I won't promise you that we will do being a day free medical camp. I think up to three. We take the last patient because that's the only way you finish my five. Even the patient counts by three. Those to the screening days and so I think. But we want to assure you that if we are not able to cater today as free cleaning for all the people who have run out, we will organize with you a day where those people who do not manage and gets missed out today can be treated and we want you to convey to the people that you don't have to feel now that this was arranged and we didn't get what we were told for free medical treatment. So please convey the message that I think we will do another depending on how many patients will see you by three o'clock. Okay. So welcome. I want to thank the family switch this on. I want to thank the team from Shiri Swaminhalaya for the amazing job that you people are already doing. When I met my brother there at the end Rabadia, I told him that if we tell people to come, you will be overwhelmed. He was worried if people would come. But here we are for the grace of God. Our people have turned out well. And I can tell you that the number is bigger than we expected. We had expected to see at least 800 patients today. But we have conditions that have even made the movement. We have people in beds down there like we've seen. So there's a lot of delay and it's not that we don't have drugs. There's drugs and there's enough of it. But for a better planning, we'll have to get more volunteers to come in, more doctors to come in. And the team here is promising that we will organize another medical camp where the people who have not been treated today will have a chance to be treated and everyone in Langata will get a chance to enjoy the facilities and the drugs that will be given by, humbly donated by the Shreve-Somneran community. And this is also to tell everyone in Langata out there that the hospital is still open and it's open for the whole public. So even if you don't get treated today, you will always get a chance to come here and get treated. And the consultation fee is very, very low, very minimum at 300 bob only. But then they have all the facilities that you can have, CT scan, dental, eye clinic, everything that you've ever thought. We have the maternity wing also doing very well. But today it was free of charge the biggest medical camp I think that has ever been organized in Langata. And we are promising that we will come and organize and I will announce the next date when people will be coming. Today we hope to see the enough patients but I know some people will go home not treated today but they should not despair because the team from Shreve-Somneran have told us to just look for another date. We plan better, we organize better so that everyone can get a chance to be treated. Thank you so much. On behalf of the people of Langata and the whole community, I want to take this opportunity to thank the team and the whole community of the Shreve-Somneran community for their humble donation to the people of Langata. And we will work together to make sure that we deliver to the people of Langata what we promised. And if it's medical, we have one of the best partners here that is the Shreve-Somneran and we thank them so much. Apart from that, they also went out of their way and made sure that most of our people did not just go home. They also went home with some food to share. Remember when we had fire at high-rise, they also came through for us. They also donated a lot of food for our people. So this community has partnered with us the best way possible and we thank you so much. Asa teneza. Thank you so much. Just in addition to that, we had promised some surgeries and we have done... We have already started doing the surgeries. Currently, as per what we promised, we are going to do 200 surgeries. We have already started doing surgeries since last Monday. Currently we have already done about 13 surgeries in regards to this. The consultants are judging them and setting the dates for the surgeries. We have done three surgeries for kids yesterday from many children in the home. I think one today. The previous day we had done myectomy. So the process is going on. The consultants who are judging the patients who are waiting the patients are doing their job and getting the patients in for the surgeries also. Thank you so much. Yes, we have the patients even if you need to get the interviews or something. We have the patients in the hospital admitted already. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. We have a gift. Gift. Gift. A gift, isn't it? No, get it wonderful. A little bit. Takotsan was... This is our community and we care a lot about the community the same way you do. So my question is could this process be continuous So that at least during the tenure of the Moshi Nua, we can have a lot of healthy people in our society. Since majority of us are coming within the slum, they are unable to afford these medications, especially surgeries. If it is just a humble request, if it could be managing this maybe after three or four months, we have such like an activity, we will be happy as a Langata community. Another thing I would ask our community is that may you guys extend this to the vulnerable people in this society. Maybe you can bring it within the slums.  Instead of them becoming this side, if you manage another one, place a camp within the slum, I think we will appreciate that. Thank you for the question. Let me answer your first question. I think this is a continual process. I think yesterday we had gone out of Nairobi. We had built two schools for the needy. We had built a hospital for them. We went to Kambani yesterday. And I think this is a continual process but we want to do it all over Kenya, not within Nairobi only or within Langata. But majority of the nations we want to do in our vicinity, that is Langata. We stay with you and regarding the second question, you want us to continue the camp more often. We have to go to the place you need. That is possible. The next camp maybe what we can do, we will agree where to do it. We can come to the place where the needy is, we can do the camp there. There is no problem. That is very much possible. Thank you. Previously we have done, maybe did it at the Olympic primary school. We have done this camp 2 years ago. So it is a continual process we have been doing. And with your help, we will move ahead. Grace of God, Narnara, we will do what is required of the community, whatever God has given to us. We will share it together with the public around. Thank you. And yesterday when they were in Kibwezi, we got a chance to talk. And they were opening one of the best schools in Kibwezi yesterday. And we spoke and really talking on how the team will also, in their humble way, we build one school in Langata. Yes, around the high rise world where we only have one public school and we are already talking. And we hope that God will give us a chance to see that coming. So it is just not about medicine. This community cares about the community all the time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming.

incorporated and here is the chairman of Superamerica Incorporated Henry Hector Have called this emergency meeting of you our keys Superamerica leaders from all of the country to discuss the new crisis confronting our nation The possibility of attack from the air by conventional means and we fear atomic bombs All over the country the citizens are rallying to their local civil defense organizations But as in every crisis everything cannot be left to government officials It is up to us super-Americans to provide leadership Wherever patriotic work is to be done there you must see a super-american Should disaster strike from the skies it will be our super-american task to form the very backbone of several defense I See that you all understand Presently my secretary Dela Crane will hand you your individual assignment sheets We must make the civil defense of the United States our great objective Thank you Very good speech. I'll be sorry to lose you Dela. Are you sure you and Steve will be happy in Finnsburg? No, but I'll do my best Steve's already been out there found an apartment and a job the bombs between super-Americans are very strong Better excuse me mr. Hector. I've got to give out the assignment sheet by all means Dela Give us just a few weeks that I think we super-Americans will turn civil defense into civil collapse I Let's continue shall we ladies and gentlemen? As you know, my name is Blair. I'm the zone director I'm very happy to see so many new volunteers here tonight During this week. I expect to make the final assignments aircraft spotters communications helpers medical aid helpers and so on I Feel that by the end mr. Blair May I ask a question? I certainly mr. Crane. Well, do I understand you correctly that assignments haven't all been made yet? Well, that's right mr. Crane most of the time so far has been spent in planning Does that cover your question? Well? Yes, I guess so for now anyway I was saying ladies and gentlemen most of the time has been spent in planning from the top down We get our overall plans from the national civil defense headquarters in washington Then through our state director down through our city director here in finsburg Since this particular zone covers the most important industrial section of the city This building is the main control center for the entire city Now Are there any radio hams among you amateur radio operators? 2344 that's fine fine after the meeting will you please report to mr. Avery? That's mr. Avery over by the window You'll become the nucleus of a special squad To go right to the scenes of any disasters and report back by radio now the next Yes, mr. Crane Say mr. Blair. I I'm new here and maybe I ought to open my app but I'll say would you mind if I come right up front there so everybody can hear me? No, not at all come right ahead I I just take this whole thing so darn serious uh, well folks My name's steve crane and I just hit this fine city of yours today and Boy from what I've seen so far. I'm gonna be mighty happy about it. Yes, sir Well, um, I've been sitting and listening to the interesting things mr. Blair has been heartlining and I'm here to say that everything sounds great The only trouble is and I I don't know just what we can do about it. The trouble is not much as definite So much is still in the in the planning stage. You know what I mean? Mr. Crane I might explain to you. I know you can't just do things without planning We're all intelligent enough to know that but here's what bothers me Suppose somebody drops a bomb on us tomorrow. Where are we? Hiding our heads under a plan No, I I I hate to criticize and I no, I don't want any of you to think that's what I'm doing But holy smoke what's been going on here since the trouble started in korea way back in june Mr. Crane, I think you want to realize I know I know these things take time but We've got to work faster. Nothing's any good Being almost ready isn't like not being ready at all Holy smoke. We'd all be better off getting out of the city. Now. What do you say? We all mr. Crane, please I understand that to a newcomer like yourself it may seem we've done very little But I don't want anybody here to forget the enormous amount of work that's been done Why sure sure mr. Blair? I'm right behind you and like I said I I don't want to talk out of turn, but I don't want anybody to kid themselves. How much time do you think we've got? Ladies and gentlemen, please Please let's have some order and discipline here Ladies and gentlemen, please And we've been getting them like that from various spots all over the country mr. Hunting Strange a sort of a sudden paralysis the national director of civil defense thinks that people just don't realize the danger I wonder Hmm people are all talking about the danger of war of a sudden atomic attack Two days ago. I was in Ohio. It's a live subject there Same in New York on the west coast everywhere tremendous interest All of a sudden according to these reports it dies out You're right back at the beginning chief people just don't realize I'm not one of those who blames the people every time Something goes wrong not until I'm sure nothing else is wrong Peters how many of our agents are now unassigned in the first classification Oh, maybe ten or a dozen. Well, good get those men together tonight here in my office. You'll be here too I see you've got a scheme. Yeah, that's right now from all these reports. We're going to pick out the localities having the most trouble Then you fellas are going into those cities undercover to join the civil defense group says ordinary citizens To find out if you can what's wrong And frankly I I must admit ladies and gentlemen I've I've had to turn in a disappointing report to city defense headquarters. No, I'm not about you who are here, but About those who've been dropping out And so tonight I've I've got to ask you to get in touch with everyone you know Find out why they seem so uninterested in what we're doing here. I'm sorry, mr. Blair Yes, mr. Crane I can tell you right now what's eating everybody. I mean those who aren't here Oh, can you I've talked to lots of people trying to get them in here to work and they all say what's the use Nothing's ready We're not getting the help we need from washington and I tell them well, it's up to us too. We just mean Yes, if you'll allow me to interrupt the other speaker. Well, yes, go ahead Well, I agree with what he says People just don't have any faith in the civil defense outfits And my name is peterson. I just come to finnsburg. I'm a reporter on the finnsburg press And let me tell you we're helpless And I just don't see any point in excuse me, mr. Peterson, but I don't see any point in discouraging ourselves And that's what we're doing some of us. Oh, it's intended to help.  Blair I don't see why I'm protecting no one mr. Peterson. We're all trying to protect ourselves All right, that's all for tonight. I'll see you all on more. I hope on friday Say peterson Peterson, yeah My name's steve crane I'm the guy you're cutting on.  No You and me seem to agree on a lot of things Why don't you come on home with me for a drink and uh See what else we agree on Oh, don't go yet, mr. Peterson. Can't I give you another drink? Oh, no, no, thanks, mr. Crane It's really time. I went home. I'm glad you came home with me peterson Glad to know you and me see eye to eye on a lot of this Civil defense stuff. You bet crane Well, thanks for a very pleasant evening, mr. Crane. Maybe you'll come again. Give us a ring anytime I'll certainly bear that in mind. Uh, this way. Yeah, I'll just do it Good night. Good night. Well What do you make of him della Seems to have his heart in the right place last two or three meetings. He's been backing me up and good too Great little discourager and all the time he sounds like the God this eager beaver you ever heard Maybe he'd make a super american That's what I thought it's time. I tip mr. Hector anyway You ought to be coming here to finsburg for a general look see and that's when we can meet peterson You are listening to the case of the double crossing defender on counter spy Today over most nbc stations carry grant and betsy drake star in the premiere of a delightful newcomer to your nbc sunday lineup Mr. And mrs. Blandings its top listening for the entire family with mr. And mrs. Blandings in a troublesome dream house Sunday also means another broadcast of the big show and today your hostess to lula presents fred allen judy holiday von monroe and many many more Now back to counter spy Harding to peters spot check of 11 civil defense groups shows similar activity by persons belonging to super america incorporated and flying to finsburg Yes, mr. Harding. I'm gonna find the interview you about your trip here. Oh, I don't see any other reporters, mr Peterson mr. Harding. I guess i'm the first man here. I had an inside tip that you might be on this plane Uh, I wonder if we could just step away from the crowd here, of course Tell me, uh, how long do you expect to stay in our city, mr. Harding? Long enough to survey the civil defense organizations here Chief this fellow. Henry Harrison Hector is arriving in finsburg in a couple of days Anything about super america incorporated? Well, it describes itself as a super patriotic organization But it's literature follows the communist party line like one snake after another Well, how's that tie in with what you know of crane and his wife?  She does the same but actually they discourage people that seems to be the idea Probably following a national pattern. Well, uh, uh, here come reporters from the other papers Well, thank you very much, mr. Harding and lots of luck to you and you stay here I'll be at the riverside hotel Peter Okay, Peterson tell your paper to get behind this campaign to step up civil defense so long And here mr. Hector, here's a layout of the civil defense control center Very complete Steve's work. He's good at that sort of thing He's down there tonight doing extra volunteer work if you know what I mean Oh These are the main phone lines the trunks run into the basement here Main water valve there Main power line here and main switch next to it radio room. Um, second floor Good setup. Steve says modern equipment big control board to keep in touch with radio hands in the city in case of attack medical departments Aircraft spotting room third floor Phone communications with a hundred observation posts in a big ring outside the city and uh here Director's office This man Blair we have a file on him and also his staff good liaison with police and fire departments public health authorities welfare and public information Transportation here big garage trucks and so on a depressingly efficient set up Dylan Sure But what good is it unless the civil defense people themselves are really pepped up And they're not Your plan has been working beautifully. And so I've heard from many other It's lucky because actually these defense setups are good If we can only keep the people so discouraged they don't use them to the fullest advantage That's where I thought this man Peterson might come in. We can always use new recruits. Have you checked on him? No, I haven't had the time. I hoped you might from baltimore. He's an unknown. I think we better Would that be I hope so put away that matron. Yeah Good evening. Mrs. Crane. I'm afraid I'm a few minutes late. Hello. Come on in. Thank you This is harry peterson and this is mr. Henry harrison hector national chairman of super america incorporated How do you do sir sit down mr. Peterson and let's have a long honest talk shall we Mr. Harding peterson of the finsberg press. Oh, hello peterson tonight. I met the man hh Yes, the scheme is to destroy civil defense morale I gave him a lot of personal detail based on new york city The same we've used before in similar cases as I understand I'll wire an hh h is on the level and he'll drop you because of your supposed record as a subversive But if he's not on the level, we'll see I'll check you tomorrow. Good night Then he wants you in spite of your fakes subversive record. He may be our man All right. Well, I understand there's to be a test alert very soon. I hope we can run this down before that Steve as I understand your duties at the control center, you are a guard at the main entrance That's right. Mr. Hector della volunteer assistant at the medical center and our friend peterson information center assistant to the director I've been thinking And as super americans, we must always think ahead of everyone else An ordinary test alert is no test at all because everyone knows it's fake Now What if we make this a real alert? By spreading the alarm during the test that it's the real thing that's taking a chance, mr Hector at an appropriate moment suddenly give a a false report start shouting The real thing a real attack You understand Rather they'll be a panic people injured and killed mr. Hector Suppose that were the real thing people would be killed were they not You can't make an amulet without breaking eggs Very well, that's all Uh, peterson you leave first Okay, good night all see you at the test whenever it is I gather you've got an okay report on peterson. Mr. Hector. Yes from new york.  No, never mind steve Hello Yes, mr. Hector is right Oh, are you sure? Yes, I'll tell him. Thanks. Goodbye Huh that calls from new york. Mr. Hector they checked further on peterson He's not all he said he was what he may be some kind of undercover agent Oh, what a dumb mistake for us to make no regrets now Steve yeah during the test alert see to it that Peahorson is one of the people killed in the panic that ought to be easy and when I At what the lights are blinking steve.
