43. "Night Tracks" Commercial Bumpers
44. Promo for "Your Money" (But I don't care about your money, I care about MY money)
45. Promo for "It's A Wonderful Life" (This was when the film was still considered to be in the public domain, which happened after Republic Pictures failed to renew the copyright in 1974 and it quickly became a staple of local TV stations. After the 1990 Supreme Court Case Stewart v. Abend en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_v._Abend which involved the ownership of derivative works stemming from copyrighted material, Republic Pictures reclaimed ownership of the movie and demanded royalties...as they still owned the copyright to "The Greatest Gift"...the original short story that the film was based on as well as the film's original musical score. It can be argued that the film gained most of its notoriety in pop culture via its public domain status and might have been forgotten otherwise)
