you didn't say yet we can just make to forgive Jake darling this is out of my hands Jake darling and I saying georgeous crime wasn't bad it couldn't be Voice Jake daring people entered your home I know they entered my home they entered my home they both came for no good they trampled on my feelings they came to steal my wealth I know every com yes I kept sitting in my car I thought you said you was coming out well we wanted you Constable dear to come indoors please sit down yeah yeah but what's all the excitement well big thing constable and we need your advice Constable are you comfortable on that chair Jake let me I know all the details Rosal please make yourself comfortable confortable Mr Newton Constable dear I'm certain you are aware of the significance of all the social upheavals that are occurring in our midst right here in lenur Che allow me comfortable are you are you comfortable did you call me Yes dear bring in some of my most delicious cookies and put them on a platter Jake I want the comforable to be very comfortable what I have to say will take more than just a moment and what I have to say I know Jake darling how you feel I know very well how you feel something must be done and I mean to do it but without the cooperation of all socially minded people I cannot proceed Goldberg if Mrs Goldberg thank you thank you very much Constable Constable you you who are so close to crimes in prison I'm sure you in your idle moments must perhaps think sometimes you think I'm please you think and I'm sure as we all think who and why are our prisons crowded to overflowing what makes criminals of people some people say we are born bad uh I don't believe that and I'm sure intelligent man like you Constable you don't believe it not neither are you bringing the cookies there from Dear Mr Newton the Constable I'm coming to the point of M discussion if Mr goldber called you it was right that we should call you gentlemen I'm so how shall I say it Jake my idea Mr Newton is that something must be done before the prison doors close on human beings yes yes but what that's why I think George oh come in George conable you know my good neighbor George Stevens Mr Newton George Stevens he worked just recently for marsh across the road we we're just discussing George we're just discussing crime and its causes and I say that nobody is born bad take for instance Mr Stevens Constable just take Mr Stevens George it wasn't necessary for him to make his life a good life because his father and his father before him didn't care much for the boy and a mother's love is not enough and the school can do everything comfortable the cookies Ros M this is not are you interested Constable I am now you I am sure have noticed the delinquency in lenbury because it's very pervasive and very prevailing and all the mothers are going now to defense plans and the little children you known are in the nursery schools and Constable dear Constable is the older children girls of 14 or 15 and boys of the like age who are beginning to run around without the firm hand of guidance on them and without care and without Guidance the generation will be ruined that's why I called you C George wants to do all he can because he knows what delinquency can do first Constable you know it's bad company and from Bad Company there's nothing more that I'm more interested in nothing oh thank after all I'm not just some hard servant of the law here to look after the town surely you're I was born and raised here and I kind of feel that I'm responsible like everybody else is to keep this town what it's always meant to us certainly and this town is more than just the buildings you remember the Trees of the field not the fields sure that this town is the young people in it and if they go bad then nothing will be left so I'm not interested in crime but in preventing it this is all nonsense it's not nonsense indeed this is not nonsense and if you have any suggestions indeed I have Constable everybody I say must have a chance George if you didn't met understanding people you don't mind if I tell conable Newton a little bit I mean it was George's Good Fortune at one time to meet people that were willing to give him another chance and from that moment on Constable see yourself you see before you George Stevenson an upright standing man standing you tell me cable Newton wasn't it better to give him another chance didn't the human kindness of these people do more than just I'm sure of it and I know that given the person another chance you see that you see I'm only holding George off as an example because he was Fearless enough to tell me his story and how he through understanding which drewed the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune and came smiling through life under rough Seas but the sea broke out and now he stands at the helm of his ship facing the rainbow and I thought if we could show to all the adolescent boys and girls that crime does not pay I'm sure George would help you and be happy to save the coming younger generation con George if you could do that I think I can get every single outstanding citizen in town interested if you will help George of course he'll help Constable dear of course you'll help he'll be glad to help Constable darling please take a cookie well Molly can twist and turn and she can cover and hide but no matter what she does she comes up holding the gold ring and this time it looks as if Molly is not only going to help George she's going to make George help himself you know many times people judge us not So Much by what we know as by what we don't know for instance take what Young Dicky doam said the other day you know I I started teasing him about that cute little girl next door and Dicky said who her the big Freckle face gosh she's so dumb she doesn't even know what does is well now Dicky you certainly ought to tell her tell her does is a new kind of soap for everything in the wash work shirts
