Found some old public service program records for a Marine Corps radio program called TAKE FIVE. The host is Jerry Coleman, a Marine aviator whe flew 57 combat missions during World War II and 63 in Korea. He played for New York Yankees and later became announcer for the San Diego Padres and even spent one season as manager. He passed away in 2014.

 

I have several records each with six programs lasting less than 4:30 minutes each. Radio stations were asked to play six a week. Here's a sample of two programs - the first one has the music numbers edited out.
