I want to get a fresh tie and change

my fiddle.

Well I guess that's enough of that.

You anxious to get in the service?

- You don't know what it cost me, Doc.

- That's too bad.

Your blood pressures 210. We can't use you.

Ah.. you can't use ..

I said we can't use you. I'm sorry.

- Will it hurt if I get drunk?

- Well it won't do you any good.

Then I'm gonna get drunk and I'm gonna

stay drunk.

Too bad. A fine, patriotic fellow.

It's been a shock to him.

NO WAR FOR U.S. SAY EXPERTS

Hey come on. Throw that thing away.

- Did you raise the wind?

- I couldn't even raise a good cough.

- I don't know what happened to this town.

- How about all those soft touches you knew?

Well the heats on. The either got caught in

the draft or went square.

Paid their income taxes.

- Income taxes.

- How you gonna raise the dough, Joe?

How do I know. I tried every guy I

ever knew.

Looks like our luck is out.

- Boss!

- Don't do that!

But look.

1 , 2, 3, 4, 5,

6 naturals.

This is strictly from heaven. This is

gonna change your luck.

- C'mon, what are we waiting for, let's do it.

- You do it, I'll wait here.

What?! You know it's no good if we

both don't do it.

What's the matter with you, you crazy?

You trying to jinx it or something!

This is a sure thing. Can't miss.

Sit down boss.

- Ok Joe.

- Fine.

Take it easy bud. C'mon the

fellows getting nervous.

Thanks pal.

How do you do.

How do you do.

Can I sell you a ticket to our

charity ball?

- Sure.

- One or two?

Two!

They're $50.00 a piece.

I know they're frightfully expensive, but

we're trying to raise $100,000.

Are you now.

- That's a coincidence.

- What's it for, sister?

War relief incorporated.

Hmm, I'm interested in relief.

Where are your headquarters?

The address is on the ticket.

Thanks. I'll look you up.

I may throw something your way.

Thank you.

I WANT YOU FOR THE U.S. ARMY

WAR RELIEF INC.

- Where can I find the big boss?

- Sorry, they're all very busy just now.

Inaudible

I want to make a donation.

What kind of donation did you want

to make?

Seventy or eighty thousand...

dollars!

Just wait!

There's a man over there who'd like

to give $70,000.

Our captain Steadman would like to

see you mister ...

Just a moment Mrs. Ostrander!

Did you say 70 or 700 dollars?

- $70,000.

- I told you!

This way, please.

Captain Steadman, this is mister uh...

I don't believe I got your name.

Joe. How are you.

- Joe?

- Joe.

Oh Joseph. Don't you understand, it's

Mister Joseph.

Do sit down. Close the door as

you go out, please.

You wonderful man. You couldn't

have come at a more timely moment.

You know the sales of tickets for the

charity have been so disappointing.
