BEST BROADCASTS OF 1938-39 They axe coming in numbers: I do not know how many. The instructions are to occupy the vaults. Those are the orders of persons of proper authority. You will march to the church by twos and at suitable intervals. First Woman. — Will we? And who’ll be watching the pot while we’re squatting there ? Counting the mother spiders ? The police ? Second Woman. — There are frogs in the vaults. Third Woman. — There are also people’s relations . . . Not the kind that care to gossip either. Fourth Woman. — And who will iron the xmderwear now that it’s sprinkled ? First Woman. — Oh, the police will. . . . Old Woman. — Listen to me, policeman! Perhaps it’s true they’re coming in their planes: Perhaps it isn’t true. But if it is It’s not for housewives in this town they’re coming. They’re after the generals : they’re after the cabinet ministers. They’re coming to capture the square in the capital city. They always have: they always capture the city. A fine sight we’d be ... a parcel of housewives Spinning with the spiders in a hole With soldiers that don’t know the hole is there Or we are there or anything is there , . . Go running through the wonderful great sky Hunting before and after for that city. (Continues behind announcer) Announcer Six minutes gone ! Four more by the count. They must be clear of the mountains : They must be here in the hiUs: They must be near. . . . Old Woman A fine sight! A fine sight for our grandfathers! Sitting there in darkness with the bones ! Cracking our knuckles in black dark in the bone yard! Fine fools we’d feel with the bones of our grandfathers. 53S
