The regular games are not played today.  Instead, with the Labor Day weekend ahead, the half-hour is given over to the subject of automobile safety.  

The show begins with a performance of American the Beautiful.  After that, the panel taking part in a driving test using Aetna Drivotrainers.  The Drivotrainer was an automobile simulator with realistic controls that used color films to simulate actual driving conditions.  Bill administers the test.  They then welcome the following guests:    

Paul Jones, director of public information for the National Safety Council.  
His department is responsible, among other things, for predicting the number of fatalities on American highways over holiday periods.  These estimates were considered ghoulish and controversial in some circles, but helped make the driving public aware of increased dangers during busier times.   

Edward A Darr, president of RJ Reynolds 
The man whose job is to sell cigarettes gives a speech on the importance of safety.  Darr is credited with bringing Winston filter-tip cigarettes to the market in 1954.   

Captain George Eyston of England, vice-chairman of the Safety Committee of the Royal Automotive Club                 
The show credits Captain Eyston with traveling faster in a car than any other living person (357.5 mph).  That is literally true.  John Cobb, also of England, broke Eyston’s 1938 record twice, but died in a 1952 accident trying to break the world water speed record.   

Host Hal March shows photos of cars involved in collisions   [Kenneth Ramp and Warren Knot] talk about a specific accident.
