Where's leron? Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:44):

in practical jewels.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't think so, Bertie. He left a note.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
There's no time to waste. We better start calling in
the town.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, it's a lucky thing. He hasn't any money. He
won't be able to get very Oh my goodness, he's
got his allowance in two dollars and ninety cents.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
What about a school savings thing? Here?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It isn't no, it's been blitch cree ugh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh dear, that makes a lot of difference. It means
he's got the means to go quite a distance.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Oh, uncle Mard, what are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Go right after him?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
But which way will we go?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Which way will we go?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
What if it was me, I'd head down pretty.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Quick, complaining about the weather and try to be some help.
Now where we start, Oh, poor Leroy, If we don't
find it, I majorie mustn't get excited. You must we
keep calling cool? Uh, I mean cool and calm. I'll
write down a few possibilities. This pencil won't write that.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Ain't no pencil, thatshr stick.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Go eh, Well, then where's my pencil?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
You're smoking it?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh hey, let's not get excited now, folks. Let me think. Oh,
I know there's only one way to head off our
wandering boy.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
What's that, uncle Moore?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We'll have to notify the police. The police, Yes, they
can send out a teletype all over the state and
pick up Leroy before you can say, calling all cars.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I hate to think of Lee were winding up in
some police station.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, he might not like it if we had him
heaved into polky.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Eh. I don't like it myself, But there's a lot
worse places he might land. Well, there's no time to lose.
Come on, Marjorie, I better phone right now and tell
him our little boy blue.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Oh dear, we only knew why he ran away.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh. I tried to figure it out, Marjorie, but it's
a complete mystery to me. I keep asking myself, rock Morton,
what could you have done that you could have made
Leroy run away from home? And then I keep answering myself.
I don't know. Well, here goes.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I hope he can keep it out of the papers.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, stop being nervous, my dear. Just watch me. Eh, Hello,
police department. I wish to report a missing nephew. His
name is Leroy Forrester. Yes, if thirteen years old. But
he's tall for his size. I mean he's old for
his age. How tall? Oh? Well, let me see he
comes about up to hear on me. Oh I forgot, officer,
(08:01):
you can't see me. I meant he comes up up
all to most of my shoulder. Yeah, how tall?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
What does that matter? I'm not lost? Is that?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No'll see here, mister uncle.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Now, don't get so excited. Here, give me the phone. Yes,
hello police, my brother left home early this morning.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh at the police department. Well, at last. We've been
waiting around here on tender hooks. No, no, tender hooks, tee.
Never mind. If you found him, yes, yes, oh well
that's something anyway, thank you, goodbye. Not exactly. They've located
a bakery wagon driver who gave him a lift out
of town this morning and three cream puffs? Wait? Where
(08:54):
was he going west on the Watertown Road? In fact,
Leroy told the man he was headed for Watertown.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Come on, uncle, that's where we'll go.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yes, maybe we can even find it before the police
pick him up. Bertie, you stay here and answer the
telephone in case the police or Leroy I should call yes,
and I'll keep.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
My ear glued to the bell, and you keep your
eyes glued to the road.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Can't take your down, uncle, What don't rush?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So I'm not rushing. I'm just trying to keep up
with you.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Are you sure you know the way to water down?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Uncle? Oh? Yes, I could drive the Watertown with my eyes.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yet sometimes I think that's the way you do all
your driving. You know, uncle, this is the longest shortcut
(09:42):
I've ever traveled on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You're right, Majorie. And the next time you hear your
uncle mort say, I know a shortcut. Please tap me
on the skull with the nearest hammer.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Oh it isn't It isn't your fault. You're only trying
to save time getting.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
To leroy Ooh sorry, I can't understand this. This road
was all right. The last time I traveled on it
was that Let me see, it was the year I
bought my moon roadster. Well, no, wonder the road's bad.
Must be fifteen years since my moon came over this mountain.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Well, we should hit the Watertown Highway in another few minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes, and once we're on the main road, i'll show you.
Oh great jumping jeeps tire? Oh dear, look at that
a blowout? My last good tire too. Well, I remember
Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Have you got a spare?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
A spare? Oh yes, here in the back. I better
work fast if I want to get a change before
dark though. Yes, Now, where's that key? Oh no, that's
the one to my locker at the YMCA. This one's
for the padlock on my diary. Could this one? No, no,
this one doesn't fit.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
What's wrong?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I can't find the key to the real compartment it
it won't open. Yeah, I guess I'll have to break
off the lock with a hammer.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Oh, I hate to see you do that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, shut your eyes because I'm going to do it.
Oh no, I can't, you can't. No, I just remember
the hammer's in the rear compartment with the tire. Oh now,
what doll we do?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Could you use the rock instead of a hammer?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Rock, of course, should be one somewhere around here, always
is when you don't need one. Oh splendid. Yeah, that
rock looks like it's been through a lot, including Missus
Uppington's window. Yeah, thank you very much, my dear. I
wish Leroy wouldn't run away from home. It's kind of
hard on my automobile there. Now, if I can pry
(11:43):
up the lid, I've got it. Don't take me more
than now. Palplidating priorities. Some scoundrel of a so and
so stole my spare tire. Hello. Is this Slim's garage
(12:08):
in Jacksonburg?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah? This is Slim speaking.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Oh well, my name is Gildersleeves Slim. I'm calling from Marjorie.

Hog's place on the Watertown.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Road kind of where you are?
Speaker 2 (12:25):

miles back on the short cut from Summerfield. They told
me here you might be able to fix me up
or the used tire in the two What size tired

Haven't you got one? No? I might be able to get.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
You one somewhere here in Jacksonburg, but not till tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Oh, tomorrow. That means I'll have to get somebody to
drive me to Watertown tonight. What'll I do about my car?
I'll send out and have a toad in here and
try and get your tire in the morning. Toad in. Oh,
that's fine, but I'll be coming back by the way
of Jacksonburg tomorrow. I hope if see you then? Goodbye?
Oh Marjorie, if you've got that small change ready for me? Oh? Thanks?

Hello operator? Huh oh, well you've got that summer Field number?

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Yes. Did you catch up with Lee Ryan?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
No, Berdie, we've had a blowout, Yes, and somebody stole
our spare tire.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
That's bad.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
How about using that gealopy of yours. But Bertie, it can't.
We can't get another tire until morning. I couldn't you
drive out here so we could continue to water Town
in that little car of yours.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, that's purely problematical. I'm willing to take a chance.
It appeals to my sporting the instincts.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
What do you mean, Bertie, Well, this.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Heap of mine is strictly on the knocked on, break
on clutching and tire hill climbing.

Well, if we don't go any faster than this, Lee,
Roy will have time to raise a beard and we'll
never recognize it.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yes, the only way we can get there any faster
is to get out of this thing and walk.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
We're doing all right. Look, this seems to be a
city we're coming into.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You think it might be Watertown? Oh no, Berdy, Watertown
is still one hundred miles away. This must be Jacksonbury.
Why it's taking us half an hour to travel ten
miles slow? Donald, Marre.

It seems to be a wreck up.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Ahead, and be any worse than this one we're in

won't have to worry about tires anymore. Eh, tires, Maybe
I better stop? Wrong, uncle, are nothing? That car is

I was right. Those tires are seven to by fifteenth.
They are yes. The rest of the car so badly
smashed up. I'll bet the owner will sell me one
or to well, you better find and quit.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
That toll car might.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Hold way in a minute to car. Oh yes, and
I wonder who the owner is. It was all a
truck driver's fault. They don't have to take my word.
Foot look at ads uh oh say that must be
the owner of Marjorie. You two wait here, this is
my golden opportunity.

Yeah, put it.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
How much do you want for the two best tires? Oh? Man, yes,

at twenty dollars.
Speaker 7 (18:31):

Oh yeah, I understand. I never took a tire off
a car that was upside down before, though this one's
a little tough. I hold the wheel, Bertie, You.
Speaker 4 (19:42):

Renison as a child, I suppose you were just using
those tires as teething rings.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yes, sergeant, I bought those two tires. I paid for him.
What's the use of trying to convince a numb skull
fuzzy brain. Flat Are you insinuating? And I'm a flat foot?
If the shoe fits, wear it. I don't want to
hang around this crook's coop any longer. I want some action.

Okay, you're gonna get it for the night.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
I'm glad to see you here.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I'm glad to see you too, my boy. But not here.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Oh, you must have a lot of pool of the
police to get into visit me. Oh, I forgot. You
were the one who told them to pick me up.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yes, Leroy, we just couldn't let you run away from
home like that, and this was the quickest way to
get in touch with you.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Well, let's get out of here and go home.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yes, let's get out of here, Leroy. I'm afraid we
can't do that for a little while. Why not. I'll
explain later. Meanwhile, young man, I want I want you
to tell me why you ran away from home.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Oh, ge Uncle Moore. All I was gonna do is
enlist in the navy.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You in the navy, Leroy. You're just thirteen years old,
well proven.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
I'm awfully big for my age.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, and if I went to Watertown or someplace where
nobody knows me, i'd better I could get in.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But why in your notes you said you couldn't stand
it any longer? If were. You un't happy at home, Leroy, No.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
It's just that I can't stand around doing nothing while
our country's at war. I want to do my share.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, that's a wonderful spirit, my boy. It makes me
proud of it. But Uncle Sam can't use boys your
age in the navy, But.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
I can work hard. I wanna be in there. Oh,
you just don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I do understand, my boy. You think it's easy for
me to watch younger men go off to fight our battles,
But I have to stay behind here we are. You're
too young and I'm too old, But we each have
a job to do, every one of us. And the
president of the boy in the school heroy.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
But gee, Uncle Moore, right now, school seems awfully.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Try, Leroy. Is the millions of trivial things well done.
It's gonna win this war for us. Like the farmer
who grows more food, in the factory hand who produces
more equipment, and the housewife who makes everything go a
little farther, even the children who gather up waste paper
and scrap iron, and all of us who buy bonds
and contribute our time and money and prayers and inspiration.
(25:23):
We're all in the army, Leroy, the army that stands
back of our soldiers and our sailors and our flyers.
And the better we do our job, the sooner they're
gonna finish theirs.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Wake up, it's morning.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I've been awake all night, Leroy. This mattress must be
stuffed with old prisoners. And LeRoy's stop calling me, younk.
I don't want to ever know. And the trock Morton
Pee Gillish leaves spent the night in the calaboose, suspected
of highway robbery.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
See see, we're both in a spot.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You can't get out till you can prove you paid
for those tires, and I can't get out till you
can prove you're you.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Oh well, maybe they'll let me call Judge Hooker. If
they do, we're about to have a visitor.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Okay, kid, come on and bring your things. Your sister's
outside to take you home.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Jeez, well, so long. I'm mister h I'll do everything
I can to help you get free.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh thank you, Sonny. Wait a minute, don't close that door, officer.
I demand to see the desk starts.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
What again?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Oh all right, but this is the last time. They
can't keep me here unless I'm charged. I know my rights.
I didn't study commercial law in night school two years
for nothing. Your sister's in the chief office over there. Oh, hey,
go ahead, Sunny. I'm gonna talk to the sargeant.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, sorry, he wants to see you again.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What is it this time, sergeant, Either you released me
at once, or I'm gonna sue you and Casey and
the chief of police in the whole town of Jacksonburg
for a million dollars apiece.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
No, come down, mister c I tried to trace the
ownership of that car you stripped, and the garage man
who's got it now can't find the owner to sign
a complain against you.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh I should he he got his tires back, and
I went out under the circumstances, I just will have
to release. That's better A lucky thing for you too.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
And you see here, mister, if anybody's lucky, it's you.
You're awfully lucky. That guy ain't here to prosecute you.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
What guy are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
The owner of that wrecked car.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
Fellow from Summerfield by the name of Rockporton P.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Giller Sleep, the Greg Guilder slave will be with us
(27:53):
again in a few minutes. But right now, I suppose
some of you used margarine in the last war. Well,
I don't know, of course how you felt about margarine then,
but I do know that modern margarine is so much
better that there's just no comparison. Take Park Margarine, for instance,
the delicious modern margarin made by Craft. By one taste
(28:13):
of Park's delicate, appetizing goodness will convince you how wonderfully
delicious it is. Yes, in flavor and texture, Park margarine
is as different from old time margarines as night is
from day. You see, Park Margarin is made by Kraft,
and surely that's a guarantee of quality and fine flavor.
Park is a wholesome, vegetable marginan made by modern methods
(28:36):
that just weren't.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Possible in the old days.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And to make Park even better for you, Kraft adds
important vitamin A to Park marginen nine thousand units to
every single pound. So find out tomorrow how good modern
margarine can be by trying delicious Parquet margarine made by Craft.
Serve it at the table, use it for cooking too,
but be sure to ask your dealer for par K
(29:01):
P A R kay, it's the margarine made by Craft.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Sorry folks, our times up. Good night.

in practical jewels.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't think so, Bertie. He left a note.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
There's no time to waste. We better start calling in
the town.

Yes, it's a lucky thing. He hasn't any money. He
won't be able to get very Oh my goodness, he's
got his allowance in two dollars and ninety cents.

What about a school savings thing? Here?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It isn't no, it's been blitch cree ugh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh dear, that makes a lot of difference. It means
he's got the means to go quite a distance.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Oh, uncle Mard, what are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Go right after him?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
But which way will we go?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Which way will we go?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
What if it was me, I'd head down pretty.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Quick, complaining about the weather and try to be some help.
Now where we start, Oh, poor Leroy, If we don't
find it, I majorie mustn't get excited. You must we
keep calling cool? Uh, I mean cool and calm. I'll
write down a few possibilities. This pencil won't write that.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Ain't no pencil, thatshr stick.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Go eh, Well, then where's my pencil?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
You're smoking it?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh hey, let's not get excited now, folks. Let me think. Oh,
I know there's only one way to head off our
wandering boy.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
What's that, uncle Moore?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We'll have to notify the police. The police, Yes, they
can send out a teletype all over the state and
pick up Leroy before you can say, calling all cars.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I hate to think of Lee were winding up in
some police station.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, he might not like it if we had him
heaved into polky.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Eh. I don't like it myself, But there's a lot
worse places he might land. Well, there's no time to lose.
Come on, Marjorie, I better phone right now and tell
him our little boy blue.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Oh dear, we only knew why he ran away.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh. I tried to figure it out, Marjorie, but it's
a complete mystery to me. I keep asking myself, rock Morton,
what could you have done that you could have made
Leroy run away from home? And then I keep answering myself.
I don't know. Well, here goes.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I hope he can keep it out of the papers.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, stop being nervous, my dear. Just watch me. Eh, Hello,
police department. I wish to report a missing nephew. His
name is Leroy Forrester. Yes, if thirteen years old. But
he's tall for his size. I mean he's old for
his age. How tall? Oh? Well, let me see he
comes about up to hear on me. Oh I forgot, officer,
(08:01):
you can't see me. I meant he comes up up
all to most of my shoulder. Yeah, how tall?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
What does that matter? I'm not lost? Is that?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
So?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No'll see here, mister uncle.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Now, don't get so excited. Here, give me the phone. Yes,
hello police, my brother left home early this morning.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Oh at the police department. Well, at last. We've been
waiting around here on tender hooks. No, no, tender hooks, tee.
Never mind. If you found him, yes, yes, oh well
that's something anyway, thank you, goodbye. Not exactly. They've located
a bakery wagon driver who gave him a lift out
of town this morning and three cream puffs? Wait? Where
(08:54):
was he going west on the Watertown Road? In fact,
Leroy told the man he was headed for Watertown.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Come on, uncle, that's where we'll go.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yes, maybe we can even find it before the police
pick him up. Bertie, you stay here and answer the
telephone in case the police or Leroy I should call yes,
and I'll keep.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
My ear glued to the bell, and you keep your
eyes glued to the road.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Can't take your down, uncle, What don't rush?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So I'm not rushing. I'm just trying to keep up
with you.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Are you sure you know the way to water down?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Uncle? Oh? Yes, I could drive the Watertown with my eyes.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yet sometimes I think that's the way you do all
your driving. You know, uncle, this is the longest shortcut
(09:42):
I've ever traveled on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You're right, Majorie. And the next time you hear your
uncle mort say, I know a shortcut. Please tap me
on the skull with the nearest hammer.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Oh it isn't It isn't your fault. You're only trying
to save time getting.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
To leroy Ooh sorry, I can't understand this. This road
was all right. The last time I traveled on it
was that Let me see, it was the year I
bought my moon roadster. Well, no, wonder the road's bad.
Must be fifteen years since my moon came over this mountain.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Well, we should hit the Watertown Highway in another few minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes, and once we're on the main road, i'll show you.
Oh great jumping jeeps tire? Oh dear, look at that
a blowout? My last good tire too. Well, I remember
Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Have you got a spare?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
A spare? Oh yes, here in the back. I better
work fast if I want to get a change before
dark though. Yes, Now, where's that key? Oh no, that's
the one to my locker at the YMCA. This one's
for the padlock on my diary. Could this one? No, no,
this one doesn't fit.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
What's wrong?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I can't find the key to the real compartment it
it won't open. Yeah, I guess I'll have to break
off the lock with a hammer.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Oh, I hate to see you do that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, shut your eyes because I'm going to do it.
Oh no, I can't, you can't. No, I just remember
the hammer's in the rear compartment with the tire. Oh now,
what doll we do?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Could you use the rock instead of a hammer?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Rock, of course, should be one somewhere around here, always
is when you don't need one. Oh splendid. Yeah, that
rock looks like it's been through a lot, including Missus
Uppington's window. Yeah, thank you very much, my dear. I
wish Leroy wouldn't run away from home. It's kind of
hard on my automobile there. Now, if I can pry
(11:43):
up the lid, I've got it. Don't take me more
than now. Palplidating priorities. Some scoundrel of a so and
so stole my spare tire. Hello. Is this Slim's garage

Haven't you got one? No? I might be able to get.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Oh, tomorrow. That means I'll have to get somebody to
drive me to Watertown tonight. What'll I do about my car?
I'll send out and have a toad in here and
try and get your tire in the morning. Toad in. Oh,
that's fine, but I'll be coming back by the way
of Jacksonburg tomorrow. I hope if see you then? Goodbye?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
No, Berdie, we've had a blowout, Yes, and somebody stole
our spare tire.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
That's bad.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
How about using that gealopy of yours. But Bertie, it can't.

a little tough. I hold the wheel, Bertie, You.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Well, let's get out of here and go home.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yes, let's get out of here, Leroy. I'm afraid we

Speaker 2 (24:17):
But why in your notes you said you couldn't stand
it any longer? If were. You un't happy at home, Leroy, No.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
It's just that I can't stand around doing nothing while
our country's at war. I want to do my share.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, that's a wonderful spirit, my boy. It makes me
proud of it. But Uncle Sam can't use boys your

Speaker 5 (24:36):
I can work hard. I wanna be in there. Oh,
you just don't understand.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I do understand, my boy. You think it's easy for
me to watch younger men go off to fight our battles,

too young and I'm too old, But we each have
a job to do, every one of us. And the
president of the boy in the school heroy.

Try, Leroy. Is the millions of trivial things well done.
It's gonna win this war for us. Like the farmer
who grows more food, in the factory hand who produces
more equipment, and the housewife who makes everything go a
little farther, even the children who gather up waste paper
and scrap iron, and all of us who buy bonds
and contribute our time and money and prayers and inspiration.
(25:23):
We're all in the army, Leroy, the army that stands
back of our soldiers and our sailors and our flyers.
And the better we do our job, the sooner they're
gonna finish theirs.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Wake up, it's morning.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I've been awake all night, Leroy. This mattress must be
stuffed with old prisoners. And LeRoy's stop calling me, younk.
I don't want to ever know. And the trock Morton
Pee Gillish leaves spent the night in the calaboose, suspected
of highway robbery.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
See see, we're both in a spot.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You can't get out till you can prove you paid
for those tires, and I can't get out till you
can prove you're you.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, sorry, he wants to see you again.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
What is it this time, sergeant, Either you released me
at once, or I'm gonna sue you and Casey and
the chief of police in the whole town of Jacksonburg
for a million dollars apiece.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
No, come down, mister c I tried to trace the
ownership of that car you stripped, and the garage man
who's got it now can't find the owner to sign
a complain against you.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh I should he he got his tires back, and
I went out under the circumstances, I just will have
to release. That's better A lucky thing for you too.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
And you see here, mister, if anybody's lucky, it's you.
You're awfully lucky. That guy ain't here to prosecute you.

but I do know that modern margarine is so much
better that there's just no comparison. Take Park Margarine, for instance,
the delicious modern margarin made by Craft. By one taste
(28:13):
of Park's delicate, appetizing goodness will convince you how wonderfully
delicious it is. Yes, in flavor and texture, Park margarine
is as different from old time margarines as night is
from day. You see, Park Margarin is made by Kraft,
and surely that's a guarantee of quality and fine flavor.
Park is a wholesome, vegetable marginan made by modern methods

Possible in the old days.

important vitamin A to Park marginen nine thousand units to
every single pound. So find out tomorrow how good modern
margarine can be by trying delicious Parquet margarine made by Craft.
