Smith belongs to me and she's got I told you to keep quiet ignoring your honor I told you he was impossible to get along with quiet now let's have the facts the animal at present is in Mrs. Warner's possession mr. Warner wishes to have him because because he's mine is not so silent this seems to be a custody case and in custody cases we frequently permit the final decision to rest with you with a dog bill if I have the dog brought in custody of the dog will depend on his own desire and let me warn you neither of you must use any false means of influencing the animal's decision fastened the dog please now you may each call the dog well mr. Smith came to me your honor custody of the dog is awarded to Mrs. Warner I object silent court adjourned you're on now you wait a minute come back here you you mean me yes what's that mr.

Leason this is my niece you are so anxious to meet her name is Lucy Warren how do you do how do you do ma'am mr. Leason's from Oklahoma Lucy and he'd take it as being right neighborly of us if we'd show him some of the bright spots well it's raining rather hard mr. Leason lives right across the hall with his mother isn't that what you said with your mother yeah yeah with Ma we're here on a visit you see I'm an all you know marinated so to speak that's a good one I gotta remember to tell that to Ma I'm sure she's adored yeah we'll tell us all about Oklahoma mr.

Smith walking or riding or motorboating aqua planing no no no not aqua planing that's too dangerous the order reads that I can visit with him and entertain him in any form or manner that does not endanger life or live because that would rule out aqua planing so I suppose you've come to take him bicycling in this weather are you crazy why he catches death of cold where is mr. Smith oh I'll get him miss warner maybe I'm sorry mr. leason this is my husband oh I mean oh oh he's only my husband for another 60 days 59 well how are you mr. leason howdy I'm glad to know you it excuse me what did you say well I said I'm glad to know you well how can you be glad to know me I know how I'd feel if I was sitting with a girl her husband walked in I'll bet you do what's that supposed to mean oh nothing Jerry let him should go and play with the dog yes don't get his rubber bone for him he loves that bone closet right here you hear that what are you doing Lucy dear oh why don't you just run along mr. leason say is there anything wrong oh no no it's just a game mr. warner has with the dog mr. leason come on let's go well good night aunt patty I hope you know what you're doing good night are you trying to cook up something between my wife and buffalo bill right she's still my wife of 50 60 whatever it is yes 59 days but she's still my wife yes and what are you gonna do about it you stick around and watch I've got some rights around here to entertain mr. Smith in any form or manner oh shut up hold truth in a moment you know with our service men stationed in so many countries around the world they have a wonderful opportunity to observe the customs and traditions of other people they're finding out that these customs aren't so strange after all for instance in many countries what is known as puberty rights still exist these are celebrations sometimes accompanied by singing and dancing of a child growing up before he takes his place among the adults he may be required to show his courage his knowledge of the history and customs of his people his ability to be a good member of that group among some primitive groups this may even include physical torture of one sort or another well this might sound strange but as our service men have observed it has its counterpart in our own life the initiation ceremonies of high school or college fraternities the coming out parties of debutants the bar myths among members of the jewish faith these are all examples of the same thing actually the metal and physical examinations that a young man takes before he puts on the uniform of his country are merely scientific tests to ensure the same thing to see if he's qualified to take his place among others and this is true about customs and traditions of all countries the way of doing things may be different but the ideals are the same our service men are helping to maintain goodwill by observing these customs by learning about them and honoring them this after all is one of our traditions to let the other fellow have the same rights and privileges that we want for ourselves now our producer mr. Cummings act you of the awful truth starring kerry grant as jerry and iran done as lucy it's morning a few weeks after jerry's hectic visit across the breakfast table in their lonely apartment aunt

hands not so long ago the city of port angeles washington adopted a five month community improvement plan a plan designed to teach a community how to improve culturally economically socially and spiritually the plan was such a success that the united states state department brought over eight people from little town of rosenheim in bavaria to see how the plan worked at first the germans were suspicious but their suspicions gradually disappeared as they recognized the americans genuine friendship for three months they lived in various port angeles homes learning about american democracy they visited schools worked in groceries hospitals welfare offices and on the local paper by comparing ideas both the germans and their hosts discovered that they were working for the same ideal to advance the principles of freedom tolerance and brotherhood when they finally left for home to teach others how typical americans really lived it was a rosenheim lawyer who best expressed their gratitude and appreciation when he said i had no notion of american life since i thought that usually both husband and wife weren't the children were poorly brought up that there was no family life in our sense of the word i've come to the conclusion that it's a religious movie that makes the american people so willing to help not only individuals but whole nations toward freedom and recognition of human rights yes like so many other americans the good people of port angeles had learned that by helping others you help your country now here's mr comings with our stars and here they are for a
