Show Description
Shep talks about molding lead soldiers as a kid. After hundreds of soldiers, they become bored and look to alternatives. Flick read an article in Boys Life on how to mold anything using a potato. They star molding lead quarters and soon become the neighborhood counterfeiting gang.

The recording begins with the conclusion of Lester Smith reading the news. Letters from listeners, sent in on colored paper, written in colored ink. A gift from an uncle, a mold with which to make lead soldiers. Shep's brilliant idea...making lead quarters with a potato mold!
