...is to set up a suggestion box

at our headquarters...

...where any lady can submit her ideas.

No doubt, we shall have hundreds

of ideas to select from.

Of course, it will be impossible

to put every one of them into execution.

I shall choose all those that are worthy.

And that...

And that...

I shall speak to the ladies

when we have our own meeting.

Thank you, Mrs. Norton.

Now, there isn't very much more I can say

except to thank you for your interest.

And before we close the meeting,

are there any questions?

- Mr. Madison.

- Mr. Norton?

I have a little to add

to what has been said.

This service should be run

with the strictest efficiency.

Perfection is the key to success.

Without it, you are locked

in the chamber of failure.

As president

of the Huxton Savings Bank...

...I am often called upon

for advice and counsel...

...in forming new organizations.

As a boy...

Perfection.

From this, I have built my career.

Take this as your foundation

and nothing can ever upset you.

There have been several

questions about equipment.

Now, for the time being, we'll have to

get along with these homemade armbands.

Regulation equipment has been

promised us soon...

...but until it arrives,

I can only ask your patience.

Now, tonight we're going to have

a little practical experience in first aid.

You're going to be sent out in teams

to various places where you'll find victims.

Other wardens have volunteered

to act as these victims.

All right, captain,

you can give the men their instructions.

That's a good idea.

You will render first aid, and then,

if necessary, call an ambulance...

...from the nearest

emergency dressing station.

Listen.

Now, let's make a perfect showing...

...and put into practice all we've learned

in these lectures. Any questions?

- No.

- Okay. Get going.

Do you think we were wise

giving Laurel and Hardy a job like this?

Don't worry.

I sent them down to Fifth and Elm.

The policeman on the corner

has a sliver in his finger.

"Splinter in the finger."

Let's see that slip.

Well, that's what it says,

"Report to policeman at Fifth and Elm."

Okay, boys. Get going.

111 Main Street.

Hey! You can't go in there.

That place is a blazing inferno

of flames and smoke...

...where one false step

might mean sudden death!

It says here.

- Well, what do we do if it's burning...?

- We'll crawl in.

- How are we gonna crawl in...?

- Get down on your knees and quit arguing.

Get down.

- How do you do, Mr. Norton?

- Careful, Mr. Norton. This place is on fire.

- Yeah. We've come to rescue you.

- That's just what I was afraid of.

- All right. Let's get started, boys.

- Yes, sir.

"Fractured right arm, fractured right leg,
