He is a has he really stuck at it, brady Mr. Gill sleeve. I never saw a little boy work so hard in my life Guess I threw a scare into him.

Well, I'm glad to hear it Let's see what are these Oh cucumber sandwiches Well, they won't put on any weight Mr. Gill see yes, birdie Don't you think maybe it's going a little far making a little boy work all day long like that with no time to play The boy was guilty of impertinence birdie. He was rude to his teacher He must be taught a lesson hand me the salt please. Yes, sir Uh, say birdie that lemon meringue pie we had last night. You haven't got a little piece of that left, have you? No, sir. I'm sorry. I ain't He was sure lifting all them heavy things and sweeping out. He sure worked hard Well, I want to be too hard on the boy. After all, I wasn't perfect myself as a child. I mean I Had my little run-ins with the authorities You can tell lee roy birdie that he only has to work during school hours after three o'clock. He can play Gee, thanks. Don't change a lot. Oh, I thought you were out in the garage lee roy working I was just going I'm only surprised he didn't get the teacher suspended home at six o'clock Uncle mort marshals here. Well, do we have to whisper? I don't see him. Where is he? Uncle mort, please He's in the study in the study. What's he doing in there? He's going away to school He came over to say goodbye. That's why you had the door closed. We closed it to keep lee roy out Now come in and say hello as soon as I hang up my hat and please be nice to him. Come along You remember marshall bullard. Well, I certainly should good evening, sir. Good evening. Good evening I understand marshall that you're going away to school. That's fine. Uncle mort really I mean it's fine to go to school too bad. You're going away over to say goodbye to marjorie. Oh leaving tonight No, sir. I'm not going till the end of the week, sir. Oh taking no chances Well, good luck when you do go thank you, sir.

I better see what's going on down there Yes, you'd better do that uncle if you'll excuse me Go right ahead sir. Yes, sir I never trust a boy who calls me sir They have to close the door by george if they're smooshy in there After all I'm her uncle. I got a right to know what goes on I think I'll just leave this door open my dear if you don't mind it gets a little close in there But I told him he could quit at three o'clock. I told him he could go out and play Yes, he went out for a while and then he came back in again, but this isn't likely roy No, sir. I think he feels bad about something. I think he's got something on his mind Why? Well the way he acts I asked about and asked him about it And he just gave me a look and ran on down the cellar quick and then slam the door We'll have to see about this. That's perfectly ridiculous. You just come upstairs with me. I'll play with you Well, we'll see what we can do about it. Come along boy. There's somebody wants to play with you Oh, well, he's a little young perhaps. You want me to send him away? Didn't it just about ready? No, no, let me talk to him boardy. Yeah, I guess he's better than nobody Did I hear that kid brother of mine?

A. Y. Parquet margarine made by craft Now let's get back to the great gilder sleeve 24 hours have passed and his nephew leroy is still suspended from school He is also still being shunned by his friends Gilder sleeve is beginning to feel sorry for the boy as we can see if we drop in at mr pv's drugstore Mr. pv is out and back making up a prescription But leroy is consuming a chocolate soda while his uncle watches Oh boy, aren't you gonna finish it leroy? Oh sure How about another one? Oh gosh, thanks uncle three is plenty you may be right Well, I got to get back to my office You think you can amuse yourself for the rest of the afternoon? I suppose so. What do you think you'll do? Bum around I guess there must be something more wholesome than that I'll be okay. I don't like to think of you just wandering around by yourself If there was some movie that you were crazy to see there is on get the majestic cost if I can go to the majestic Well, here's a quarter you go on to the majestic, but don't tell anybody I sent you Oh, thanks. The majestic has a triple horror. I don't carry me right up to supper time. Huh? Sure, it won't spoil your appetite. Are you kidding? Those horror pictures make you hungry Maybe just leroy leaving Let's figure that out Three chocolate sodas, right? That's right. Isn't she incredible? Yeah, that's 45 cents in one cent pack here. Thank you 46 50 75 one dollar Uh, isn't this a little unusual mr. Goatley? Unusual buying Leroy sodas in the middle of the afternoon Birthday, maybe no, it's not his birthday. He's been suspended from school. You don't say Seems a funny reason to buy him a chocolate soda that's not why I'm buying him a chocolate soda But you said let me finish please pv just once I'm sorry mr. Goatley, but that's what you said Allow me pv Permit me Now Leroy was suspended from school I suppose you want to know why I know you pv the boy was suspended because he was rude to his teacher suspended for a week a week Yes, pretty severe punishment, but I don't say it isn't fair What I object to is that it's none of Leroy's friends who play with him Their parents seem to think he's some kind of an outcast. Well, that's the way of the world, mr. Goatley, would you want Leroy playing with some young criminal? Leroy is not a criminal I think he's being persecuted unjustly. I'm just trying to make it up to him. That's all Well, if I were suspended from school and got free chocolate sodas, I might be tempted to make a habit of it That's ridiculous. Yeah, if I like chocolate sodas P. V. It's easy to see you never were in a jam when you were young. No, no, I wouldn't say that I tried to sneak onto a streetcar once without paying the five cents my my quite a crime. Were you arrested? No, but the conductor made me give him a nickel in a very humiliating experience You haven't lived pv. Naturally, you can't imagine what Leroy's going through. Why if you Good afternoon, mr. P. V. Have you got my prescription ready? Indeed. I have mr. Townsend right here How do you do mrs. Townsend? How's little arthur will you charge it please mr. P. V. Yes, ma'am a dollar 12. Thank you Good day, mr. P. V Why didn't that woman speak to me? I've known her for years Is arthur Townsend in Leroy's class? Well, yes, I believe he is buddy. That's the way of the world, mr. Galathe I'm afraid you're tired with Leroy's brush But Leroy is just a kid. He's a nice little boy. Now are at the beginning. I guess Dillinger was a nice boy one Dillinger Uh, if you excuse me, mr. Galathe, I have some work to do out in back. Are you trying to get rid of me pv? Yes, you are pv. You're afraid I'll contaminate your other customers. You're afraid you'll lose some trade All right you money grubber you will be sorry Hey, sit down make yourself at home. No, I can't stay thank you I was passing by and I just thought I'd drop in and ask you about that financial report financial report Yeah, you were supposed to give the financial report at the school board meeting tomorrow night, remember? Oh, that's sure I remember I've got the report already. That is I will have it's fine. It's fine Well, is that all you wanted to know? Uh, not exactly. Well speak up. What is it? Well, I don't want you to take this the wrong way gilded, but it occurred to me You might like me to present your report to the school board. Why should you? I'm chairman of the finance committee Why shouldn't I give the report? Well a man in your position That is to say if I were in your position one position what the devil you're talking about stop beating around the bush You're afraid I'll have to you're so thick whose thing You are in more ways than one Hasn't lee roy been suspended from the summer field grammar school? Yes, he has and what of it Well, doesn't that place you in a slightly embarrassing position as a member of the school board? How? Well, how would you feel standing up there with the school board when you can't even keep your own nephew in school? Now see here judge. I had nothing to do with lee roy's difficulty when the suspension period is over he'll go back I wonder if there's any way you could get back sooner. Have you tried to arrange it? No I wonder if his teacher knows i'm on the school board I think it would be most inadvisable for you to start throwing your weight around. I wasn't thinking of throwing my weight around Just thinking of dropping a hint. I've seen you drop a hint with an awful thud gilded Are you trying to suggest i'm undiplomatic you old goat? I'll show you i'll find a way out of this thing Without any help from you either. Well, what about tomorrow night? I'll be there Don't you worry and with the report and i'll be able to look every member of that school board right in the eye Ready? In a minute. How was the picture? I was okay There's much fun going on the movies all by yourself. Yeah, I know sit down my boy there Now I think you've been punished enough for your rudeness to miss mccann. Yeah, gee, that's what I think Perhaps we can find a way to get you back in school tomorrow morning. How would you like that? Can you really hunk? We'll see You're sorry for your behavior, aren't you sure gosh never thought I'd be suspended. Well aside from the punishment You realize you said a very bad thing to miss mccann that you heard her feelings that no boy in school should ever speak rudely to a teacher You realize all that don't you sure sure. What are you getting at? That's not the attitude Yeah, that's the boy now if you'll just say that to miss mccann you mean I got to apologize Certainly, that's the manly thing to do my boy. I can't hunk. Let's not be silly about this leroy There's nothing easier than to apologize and there's nothing that gives you a better feeling afterward I can't apologize to her nonsense. What makes you think you can in front of all the other kids? Certainly you insulted in front of the other kids. Didn't you I didn't insult her. Okay. I insulted her Look leroy, there's nothing to this thing you walk into the school room tomorrow morning You walk straight up to miss mccann and you say miss mccann. I owe you an apology for my thoughtless behavior I want you to know that i'm very sorry What do you think she'll do bite you she'll hit me with a rubber hose And leroy you're acting like a baby, but if you want to get back in school tomorrow, this is the only way to do it Apologize. Apologize. The only way? The only way Well, I guess I'll just have to wait until the week is up Leroy you haven't got anybody to play with you're not having any fun. You're miserable, aren't you? Sure, I am. Then why not apologize? I hate to apologize It just happened young man that there are other people concerned in this affair It just happens that I personally find this whole thing very embarrassing. Oh, so that's it No, that's not it I'm thinking principally of your welfare the fact that I'm a member of the school board is entirely secondary What do I care about the school board? Leroy people are refusing to speak to me in the streets on account of you I'm being an out. I'm becoming an outcast. So am I Lady mccann you listen here. You'll apologize tomorrow whether you like it or not I'll listen while you make your apology if that woman lays a finger on you I'll be there with you in a jiffy. Where is your room leroy? At the end of the hall Hmm long hall is mine. I'll be brave. You say what I told you to say just walk straight up to her and say miss mccann Oh shut up by leroy All right, just take your seat Perhaps you'd like to lead the opening song leroy Okay, go in and say a few words to her myself though just to make it sure Miss mccann. Yes, I wonder if I could just have a word with you certainly Excuse me a moment class Yes, I mr. gildersleeve leroy's uncle Oh, I just thought I'd mention that it was my idea for leroy to apologize and he was supposed to say a good deal more That is he was supposed to make a more elaborate apology Yes, but the little demo mr. Gildersleeve If you don't realize it's the spirit of an apology that counts and not the words You aren't fit to bring up children. Miss mccann. I suspected leroy's difficulty must be with his home training And now I'm sure of it, but I'll in fact you're the one that should be suspended Gildersleeve again in just a moment Round about mid-afternoon boys and girls are apt to get mighty hungry at school And when they get home and make a beeline to the pantry Here's something that's sure to satisfy hungry young appetites It's crisp crackers and slices of tender fresh bread spread with delicious parquet margarine Children really go for parquet's fresh delicate flavor because it tastes so good And there's another important reason why so many mothers serve afterschool snacks of crackers and bread spread with delicious parquet It's that wonderful energy parquet margarine helps provide And the important vitamin a that's added to every single pound of parquet Of course parquet is mighty economical too only about half the price of costly spreads Some others tomorrow be sure to buy delicious economical parquet par k a y Parquet margarine made by craft Savannah georgia.
