a few minutes of flying a strange sight looms in the distance they see a fantastically beautiful castle of colored plastic surrounded by a wide moat of burning liquid so am I because I'm sure he's going to need it next week we'll find out now let's turn over the page go with Donald Duck say the magic words with me squeeze them squeeze them squinty check it check let's have music to fit it like Donald has bought a sailplane which is a little airplane like a glider that you hook on behind a car and as the car drives along it pulls the sailplane up into the air and then when you're going fast enough you cut the plane loose and you sail along all by yourself well fourth picture top row Donald is in his plane and his girlfriend Daisy is in the car and they're all set for the takeoff Donald says start slow and dance up on it. Daisy starts to drive off and in a few seconds Donald's sailplane begins to go up in the air. Last picture top row Donald shouts I'm starting up faster. Daisy gives the car the gas and away Donald sails first picture bottom row Donald's sailplane goes up higher and he shouts faster pull it out. Daisy goes faster but Donald is an impatient boy and he shouts again faster faster I'm almost ready to cut loose faster and then third picture bottom row his hat pops off in surprise while he sees a wall right in front of him and a second later there lies Donald in his crash ship on top of a tunnel hearing birds and last picture Daisy comes out of the tunnel that she had driven into and without looking back she shouts and Donald didn't cut his real blues from the car in time and his sailplane was higher than the tunnel especially the look on his face well now let's turn over the face of Dick's adventures and the British are at war with the Americans and Oliver Perry has been given the job of defeating the British ships on Lake Erie and while he was building his ships the Indians have reported to the British what he was doing and now the British have sailed their ships right up to the harbor waiting for the American ships to come out and fight. All right here we go with Dick's adventures say the magic words with me. Let's have music for adventurous Dick. The building of two arms ships is finished they are named the Lawrence and the Niagara and now Perry's problem is to get his ships out into the harbor where he can attack the British but a long low sandbar stretches across the harbor Perry's afraid to risk trying to get his ships across the sandbar for fear they may get stuck if that happened the British guns could pound them to pieces. First picture second role Perry makes his 10th visit to the centuries in a single night. Dick who's on duty points to the British ship saying I'm still out there waiting sir. At midnight Harry calls his officers and men together. Men the British are not going away but we're in luck that onshore wind will give us plenty of water we'll run the sandbar tonight. Last picture second row as they move to board ship Dick well knows how daring is the plan for the Lawrence and the Niagara need nine feet of water in order to cross the sandbar but there's only six feet above the bar. Dick says if we get stuck on that sandbar the British upon us to pieces before we can get off. First picture bottom row two hours before dawn with a favoring wind at its peak the Lawrence Perry's flagship sets its head straight for the sandbar. Dick holds his breath and then last picture starts to say we're off. This instant the ship shudders some stem to stern the Lawrence is stuck fast. Yes and if the English see them there Perry's ship could be blown to pieces. Perry is in a dangerous spot if he doesn't get off that sandbar before the sun comes up. Well we'll have to wait the next week to find that out. But now look below Dick's adventures. There's Rusty Riley and we run that Rusty's going to ride it and we'll soon find out if he'll win that thousand dollars to give to Mrs. Jones so she can pay off her debt to Mr. Marlowe and now Rusty's horse space and fast enough to win the race like that nice man stole pipe said he would if he got new shoes. Let's read now and find out. Here we go with Rusty Riley gallop and run till the road is dusty give us music for his horse and Rusty. It's early in the morning and Rusty and Peter up with the sun Rusty a saddle space pilot and he says to his friend Pete I come on out Pete this is a big day nobody else is up so we can give space pilot a workout on the fairgrounds track. All right Rusty as soon as I wash my face. A short time later Rusty is giving space pilot a workout on the track space pilot whizzes around the track Rusty says golly Mr. Stove pipe was sure right about those shoes space pilot is running like whirl away now. Meanwhile while Rusty tells his friend Stove pipe how wonderfully space pilot is running in the sheriff's office the sheriff is talking to Mr. Marlowe. Well as your papers at foreclosure on the Jones farm dated five for him today Marlowe seems like you wouldn't need to be in such an all fired hurry her being a widow with a little child. That's my affair you just be ready to go over there with me early so she can't avoid being served. At that moment third picture bottom row out at the Jones farm Mrs. Jones opens the door to find a stranger. Howdy ma'am I'm looking for rescue rally in his pal Pete I was told he was bunking here right Mrs. Jones answers. Oh land sex yes Rusty stopping here taking care of some horses only him and Pete ain't home right now. Would you care to wait for the last picture Clem says no no ma'am I would wait but I'll be back later it's important just tell him Clem was here they'll know we were shipmates. Oh yes I'm the ship with the horses they told me about you now you'll be sure to come back now on the ship when it was wrecked that time. So it looks like Rusty is another friend here and the way that Mr. Marlowe is acting it looks like Rusty needs a lot of friends especially since Texas and around next week for sure that they must be ready to race so I can find out whether Rusty wins a thousand let's hope so next week we'll find out but now that's all the time I have but before I go here's that nice fellow with some more interesting information.
