Five seconds to engine cut off.

00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:51,784
- Capsule separated from booster.
14
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:53,719
A-OK, Mr. Wilson.
15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,454
- Roger, Menace one.
16
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:58,590
Are you ready to perform your
first experiment in space?
17
00:00:58,591 --> 00:00:59,792
- Affirmative.
18
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:01,660
Space helmet opened.
19
00:01:01,661 --> 00:01:02,962
- Roger.
20
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,231
Take a deep breath and
start on the count of three.
21
00:01:07,934 --> 00:01:11,571
One, two, three.
22
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,408
Did it work?
23
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:18,844
- Mmm mmm.
24
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:20,312
- Congratulations.
25
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:23,649
You have successfully completed
the first bubble gum blow up

00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:26,986
in space.

00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:28,420
- Astronaut to Wilson Control.

00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:30,756
Astronaut to Wilson Control.
29
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,191
Completing first orbit.
30
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,426
Preparing to eat lunch.
31
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:36,363
- Roger, Menace One.
32
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:46,672
- Oh, boy, a hamburger.
33
00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:47,573
Ah, gee.
34
00:01:47,574 --> 00:01:50,476
Mom forgot to put ketchup on it.
35
00:01:50,477 --> 00:01:55,015
- Don't go away, Menace One,
we'll take care of that.

37
00:02:01,354 --> 00:02:04,189
- Boy, thanks, Mr. Wilson.

00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:05,624
- Roger, Menace One.
39
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:07,626
What is your position now?
40
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:11,230
- I'm approaching the
coast of California again.
41
00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:13,732
- You'd better
prepare for reentry.
42
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:17,202
- Gee wiz, can't I go around
a couple of more times?
43
00:02:17,203 --> 00:02:19,705
- No, no, it's my lunch time now.
44
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:21,707
Besides, your fuel
is running low.
45
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:24,576
Prepare to fire retro rockets.
46
00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:26,245
- How do I do that?
47
00:02:26,246 --> 00:02:27,947
- It's the third
button on the right.
48
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:33,585
[thud]
49
00:02:33,586 --> 00:02:35,087
- Not that button, Dennis!
50
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:36,955
That's the jet roll button.
51
00:02:36,956 --> 00:02:38,957
Dennis!
Dennis!
52
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:40,926
Dennis!
53
00:02:40,927 --> 00:02:42,928
- Dennis.
54
00:02:42,929 --> 00:02:44,730
Dennis.
55
00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:47,099
Dennis, wake up, son.
56
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,134
Have you finished
your arithmetic?
57
00:02:49,135 --> 00:02:50,469
- I pressed the wrong button.
58
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:52,404
- Button?
What button?
59
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:53,806
- I guess I was dreaming.
60
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,375
I was an astronaut,
and I was flying
61
00:02:56,376 --> 00:02:58,577
around the Earth
in a space capsule.
62
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:00,179
- You better get out
of your space suit
63
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,313
and into your pajamas.
64
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:02,282
- Yes, ma'am.
65
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:09,655
Dad, when I grow up, do you
think I could be an astronaut?
66
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:11,390
- Well, you might
just as well be.
67
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:12,826
You're always in orbit anyway.
68
00:03:19,332 --> 00:03:39,386
{\an8}[theme music]
69
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:50,596
- Hugh Thompson heads up
the 18th, that's good.
70
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:52,399
And Pete Borington
will head up the 22nd.
71
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:55,869
What about the 28th?
72
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:00,640
John Wilson?
- Yes, sir.
73
00:04:03,777 --> 00:04:05,945
- Sylvester, this junior
astronaut program
74
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,747
is too important to
entrust to just anyone
75
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,216
even at the local level.
76
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:12,785
Now what about
that Charles Brady
77
00:04:12,786 --> 00:04:15,187
who headed up the savings
stamps campaign in that district
78
00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:16,321
last year?
79
00:04:16,322 --> 00:04:17,790
He did a magnificent job.
80
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,059
- Well, I contacted
him, just hasn't
81
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,061
got the time to be
chairman this year.
82
00:04:22,062 --> 00:04:23,896
- Too bad.
83
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:25,798
John Wilson?
84
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:26,899
- Yes, he's a writer.
85
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,167
When I interviewed
him, he said he'd
86
00:04:28,168 --> 00:04:30,402
done some work for the bomb
division during the war.
87
00:04:30,403 --> 00:04:34,707
- Oh, that John Wilson.
88
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:37,910
He's the one who came up with
that slogan, invest your cash
89
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:41,714
and settle der fuehrer's hash.
90
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:45,617
Sylvester, are you sure
you can't get Brady?
91
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:47,886
- No, sir.
92
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:49,823
- Well, I guess we'll
have to appoint Wilson.
93
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:57,830
- Jeepers.
94
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,299
- He looks like Soupy Sales
just threw a pie at him.
95
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:01,233
- He does not.
96
00:05:01,234 --> 00:05:02,601
Mr. Wilson's my friend.
97
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:04,303
And he's gonna be a big man.
98
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,372
- Not as big as my dad.
99
00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:09,041
My dad was chairman
last year, and he
100
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:11,643
helped sell more savings
stamps and bonds.
101
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:13,212
- Mr. Wilson will sell more.
102
00:05:13,213 --> 00:05:17,483
- Ha, he'll never think up
clever ideas like my dad did.
103
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:18,684
- He will too.
104
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,887
Mr. Wilson's a writer,
and he's got great ideas.
105
00:05:21,888 --> 00:05:23,756
- Like what?
106
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,691
- Well, I don't know.
107
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:29,495
But I betcha he's working
on a big one right now.
108
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:32,931
[typing]
109
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:34,400
- Eloise.
110
00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:36,368
Eloise!
111
00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:38,170
- Yes, dear?
- Ah, I think I've got it.
112
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:39,304
Listen to this.
113
00:05:39,305 --> 00:05:41,907
It costs millions to
put a man in orbit,
114
00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:47,780
so buy savings bonds and
stamps and help absorb it.
115
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:49,248
- It rhymes.
116
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:51,383
- If you were a school
girl, wouldn't this
117
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:55,120
give you tremendous impetus to
go out and buy saving stamps?
118
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:58,290
- Well, it rhymes.
119
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:00,025
- Oh, it does more than that.
120
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:03,195
It, it tells the whole story
of this year's school campaign
121
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,030
for savings stamps,
how important
122
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,866
it is to buy savings
bonds and stamps to help
123
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,435
finance our space effort.
124
00:06:09,436 --> 00:06:10,235
[doorbell]
125
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:12,037
Oh, I hope that isn't Sylvester.
126
00:06:12,038 --> 00:06:12,905
- The Treasury man?
127
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:14,039
Are you expecting him?
128
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,574
- Yes, he said he'd
stop by here before he
129
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:16,742
returned to Washington.
130
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:18,877
He wants to check my
ideas on the campaign.
131
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:19,478
- I'll let him in.
132
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:20,846
- Yeah.
133
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:24,149
Astronaut orbit,
orbit, rocket, rocket!
134
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:27,052
Rocket, rocket, rocket.
135
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:28,887
- Well, Dennis, he's very busy.
136
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:31,156
- I just wanted to
congratulate him.
137
00:06:31,157 --> 00:06:32,658
- Oh, I don't think
he'd mind that.
138
00:06:32,659 --> 00:06:33,592
Go on in.
139
00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:34,361
- Thanks, Mrs. Wilson.
140
00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:38,864
Hi, Mr. Wilson.
141
00:06:38,865 --> 00:06:40,366
- Oh, hi, Dennis.
142
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:42,234
- I wanted to congratulate you.
143
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,069
- Well, thank you, Dennis.
144
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:47,272
- Johnny Brady said his father
set a record last year.
145
00:06:47,273 --> 00:06:50,542
But I told him with your
ideas, you'd beat it.
146
00:06:50,543 --> 00:06:52,378
- Well, I'll certainly try.
147
00:06:52,379 --> 00:06:55,080
- And if you need any
help, you can count on me.
148
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:55,714
- Thank you.
149
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:56,915
Thank you, Dennis.
150
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,418
- As a matter of
fact, you can help me
151
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:02,021
with the slogan I just created.
152
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:05,891
I'd like to get your opinion
on it as an average school boy.
153
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:09,128
- Blast off.
154
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:13,032
- Dig in your pocket
and send up a rocket.
155
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:14,366
What do you think of it?
156
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:18,170
- Well, it rhymes.
157
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:22,374
- It didn't do anything for you?
158
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:25,444
- Well, it's very good.
159
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:28,247
- Well, of course, there's
more to it than just slogan.
160
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:32,952
I plan to open the campaign with
a big parade down Main Street.
161
00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:35,187
- That's a great
idea, Mr. Wilson.
162
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:36,622
- Ah, thank you.
163
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:39,658
- That's what Johnny Brady's
father did last year.
164
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:40,759
- Oh.
165
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,296
Well, I wasn't living
here last year.
166
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:48,167
- But you'll come up with a
great one, I know you will.
167
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:49,902
- Hmm, sure.
168
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:52,571
- Do you know what you
ought to do, Mr. Wilson?
169
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:54,306
You ought to have a contest.
170
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,574
- A contest?
171
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:58,077
- Yeah, for the kid that buys
the most savings stamps.
172
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,012
[doorbell]
And give them a prize.
173
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:03,415
Maybe you could get to
meet one of the astronauts.
174
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,218
- Oh, but he'd have to go
to Cape Canaveral for that.
175
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:08,854
And they're kind of
busy around there.
176
00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:09,555
- Excuse me, dear.
177
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:10,622
Mr. Sylvester is here.
178
00:08:10,623 --> 00:08:11,223
- Oh.
179
00:08:11,224 --> 00:08:12,124
- Hello, Wilson.
180
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:13,425
- Mr. Sylvester.
181
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:15,594
- I'll just go make some coffee.
- Thank you, dear.
182
00:08:15,595 --> 00:08:16,729
- Thank you.
183
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:18,197
- Oh I'd like you to
meet a neighbor of mine,
184
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,331
Dennis Mitchell.
185
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:21,834
Uh, Mr. Sylvester's with
the Treasury Department.
186
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:23,836
- I'm happy to meet you, sir.
- Dennis.
187
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:24,603
- Sit down, sir.
188
00:08:24,604 --> 00:08:26,138
Sit down.
189
00:08:26,139 --> 00:08:28,440
I was just going
over some of my ideas
190
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:30,042
on the campaign
with Dennis getting
191
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:32,044
the typical school
boy's reaction.
192
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:34,647
- Mr. Wilson's writing
some great slogans.
193
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:40,319
Read him that one
you read to me.
194
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,389
- Yeah, well, I don't think
it's quite ready yet.
195
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:45,724
I have others, of
course, nothing concrete,
196
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:47,961
just sort of going
around in my head.
197
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:52,231
- Wilson, we heard some of
your some of your slogans
198
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:53,699
during the war.
199
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,469
What we need here now
is some concrete action.
200
00:08:57,470 --> 00:09:01,674
- Gee, I thought that one
idea of yours was great.
201
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:02,741
- What idea?
202
00:09:02,742 --> 00:09:05,678
- The contest we
were talking about.
203
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,679
- The contest?
204
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,014
Oh, the contest.
205
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:10,349
- Well, that sounds interesting.
206
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:11,550
- It sure is.
207
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:14,653
What Mr. Wilson wants
is to have a contest
208
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:17,690
and give the boy or girl who
buys the most savings stamps
209
00:09:17,691 --> 00:09:22,828
a prize, a trip to Cape
Canaveral to meet an astronaut.
210
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:25,164
- Dennis, I didn't.
211
00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:27,934
- I think you've got
something there.
212
00:09:28,034 --> 00:09:30,402
Wilson, that's a
tremendous idea.
213
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:33,172
- Oh, uh, thank you.
214
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:38,544
- Boy, I'll buy a zillion
stamps to win that trip.
215
00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:41,347
- Well, there's only
one slight hitch.
216
00:09:41,348 --> 00:09:42,248
Who's going to pay for it?
217
00:09:45,552 --> 00:09:48,721
- The Treasury Department?
218
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:53,258
- We have no procreation
for anything like that.
219
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:55,861
So I guess I'll just
have to disapprove
220
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:57,563
of the entire project.
221
00:09:57,564 --> 00:09:58,530
- Oh, no.
222
00:09:58,531 --> 00:09:59,999
Mr. Wilson would pay for it.
223
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,300
Wouldn't you, Mr. Wilson?
224
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:08,507
- Oh, I, I, I guess so.
225
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,442
- Well, I can certainly
see that things here
226
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,111
are in very good hands.
227
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:14,113
I don't think you
need me any further.
228
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,982
And since I have a plane
to catch, I'll say goodbye.
229
00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:17,951
- Uh, goodbye.
230
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:27,059
And when you buy a $0.10
or $0.25 savings stamp,
231
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:32,464
you'll receive this certificate
signed by the seven Mercury
232
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:37,469
astronauts, which makes
you junior astronauts.
233
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:41,774
[applause]
234
00:10:41,775 --> 00:10:44,443
Now you'll also get this
very attractive album
235
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,145
in which to paste your stamps.
236
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,313
When you have filled
it, you can exchange it
237
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:50,783
for a United States
Savings Bond.
238
00:10:50,784 --> 00:10:53,318
Every savings bond
you purchase is not
239
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:55,854
only an investment
in your future,
240
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:58,490
but in your country's future.
241
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,192
Now in this day and age, we--
242
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:01,493
- Psst, psst.
243
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,862
- Uh, Dennis, Mr.
Wilson is talking.
244
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:05,230
- I'm sorry, Miss Williams.
245
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:08,133
I just wanted to remind
him about the contest.
246
00:11:08,134 --> 00:11:09,802
- Oh, oh, the contest.
247
00:11:09,803 --> 00:11:11,303
Oh, yeah, the contest.
248
00:11:11,304 --> 00:11:12,905
Well, it's very simple.
249
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:15,908
For the boy or girl who
purchases the most stamps
250
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:19,745
during the rest of the month,
I am donating a free trip
251
00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:25,351
to Cape Canaveral, where
he or she will personally
252
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:28,454
meet one of the astronauts.
253
00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:34,827
[applause]
254
00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:36,796
- Children.
- Children!
255
00:11:41,234 --> 00:11:44,136
Are there any questions?
256
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:45,637
Tommy.
257
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:47,373
- When can we start
buying our stamps
258
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:49,608
so we can get our junior
astronaut certificate?
259
00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:53,445
- Well, right away, if it's
all right with Miss Williams.
260
00:11:53,446 --> 00:11:54,947
- Certainly.
261
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,315
- Oh, good.
262
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:58,350
Then I declare
the school savings
263
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:01,955
bond drive officially open.
264
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:18,370
- Boy, this is great, signed by
the seven Mercury astronauts.
265
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:21,306
- I'm going to get a frame for
mine and hang it over my bed.
266
00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:24,143
- I'm going to try to win
that trip to Cape Canaveral.
267
00:12:24,144 --> 00:12:25,210
- Me too.
268
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:27,946
- You guys are just
wasting your time.
269
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:30,582
I'm going to win that
corny old contest.
270
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:31,283
- Oh yeah?
271
00:12:31,284 --> 00:12:32,518
That's what you think.
272
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,220
- Ha, how many
stamps did you buy?
273
00:12:35,221 --> 00:12:37,423
- $0.25 stamp.
274
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:40,359
- I bought $3.00 worth.
275
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,527
- $3.00?
276
00:12:41,528 --> 00:12:43,328
- My whole allowance.
277
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:44,530
- That's not fair.
278
00:12:44,531 --> 00:12:46,398
I don't get that much allowance.
279
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:47,833
- Me neither.
280
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:51,670
- That's your tough luck.
281
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:55,407
Take it up with your
friend, Mr. Wilson.
282
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:56,342
- Mr. Wilson?
283
00:12:56,343 --> 00:12:57,743
- Oh, yes, Dennis.
284
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:59,144
- The kids with the
biggest allowances
285
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:00,646
are going to win the contest.
286
00:13:00,647 --> 00:13:02,047
- No, that's not true.
287
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:03,882
I just had a call
from Mr. Sylvester,
288
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:05,918
and we've changed the rules.
289
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,154
He feels, and I agree with him,
that in a contest such as this,
290
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:12,057
each child must earn the
money to buy his stamps.
291
00:13:12,058 --> 00:13:15,494
- That means that Johnny Brady's
money allowance won't count.
292
00:13:15,495 --> 00:13:16,662
- That's right.
293
00:13:16,663 --> 00:13:18,931
If each boy and girl
earns the money,
294
00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:20,532
then it's fair to everyone.
295
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:22,534
- Where are we going
to find enough jobs?
296
00:13:22,535 --> 00:13:23,902
- Oh, you'll will
find enough jobs
297
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:25,404
around your own neighborhood.
298
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:29,641
And working for the money
makes it even more worthwhile.
299
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,211
We must all made sacrifices.
300
00:13:32,212 --> 00:13:33,645
- We'll sure try.
301
00:13:33,646 --> 00:13:34,614
- Yes, sir.
302
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,154
- Hi, Mr. Wilson.
303
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:43,922
Do you have any jobs I can do?
304
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:44,790
- Jobs?
305
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:45,924
- Yes, sir.
306
00:13:45,925 --> 00:13:47,659
I'm trying to earn money
around the neighborhood
307
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,595
to buy stamps like you said.
308
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:52,631
- Well, um, how much would
you charge to wash my car?
309
00:13:52,632 --> 00:13:53,499
- A dollar.
310
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,168
And I'll do a real good job.
311
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:00,906
- Well, it's a good cause.
312
00:14:00,907 --> 00:14:04,777
[doorbell]
313
00:14:04,778 --> 00:14:07,046
- Mr. Wilson, can I mow
your lawn for a dollar?
314
00:14:07,047 --> 00:14:08,213
- Mow my lawn?
315
00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:10,549
- I want to earn some
money like you said.
316
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:11,417
Thanks a lot.
317
00:14:11,418 --> 00:14:16,188
[doorbell]
318
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:19,258
- Oh, no, not another one.
319
00:14:19,259 --> 00:14:21,961
- As another great
American once said,
320
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,763
it costs millions to
put a man in orbit.
321
00:14:24,764 --> 00:14:29,068
So buy savings stamps and
bonds and help absorb it.
322
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:32,471
[DOORBELL
323
00:14:32,472 --> 00:14:33,639
- Thank you, Tommy.
324
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,407
- You're welcome, Miss Williams.
325
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:37,443
- I want to thank
all you children.
326
00:14:37,444 --> 00:14:39,078
I'm very proud of
the way you've been
327
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:40,579
buying your savings stamps.
328
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:43,115
- Miss Williams, who's
winning the contest?
329
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:46,251
- Well, at the end
of the second week,
330
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:51,757
the leaders are Dennis
Mitchell with $8.75
331
00:14:51,758 --> 00:14:54,994
and Johnny Brady with $10.50.
332
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:59,431
[applause]
333
00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:02,568
- I'll send you a postcard
from Cape Canaveral.
334
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:04,603
- We still got two
more weeks, Johnny.
335
00:15:04,604 --> 00:15:07,039
And I've got a lot
of jobs lined up.
336
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,275
We'll see who's going
to send who a postcard.
337
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:23,622
- My goodness, Dennis,
you're here early.
338
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:25,057
- Yes, ma'am.
339
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:28,060
I got up at 6 o'clock this
morning and collected bottles.
340
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:30,763
- Well, here you are
two $0.25 stamps.
341
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:31,965
- Thanks, Miss Williams.
342
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:35,969
- This puts you $0.75
ahead of Johnny Brady.
343
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:36,935
- Morning, Miss Williams.
344
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,637
- Oh, good morning, Johnny.
345
00:15:38,638 --> 00:15:41,373
- I made some collections on
my paper route this morning.
346
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:44,476
Can I have $3.00
worth of stamps?
347
00:15:44,477 --> 00:15:47,680
- $3.00 worth, why
that's wonderful.
348
00:15:47,681 --> 00:15:50,149
I guess this puts you
in the lead again.
349
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:50,950
- Yes, ma'am.
350
00:15:54,254 --> 00:15:55,654
- But, Dad.
351
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,089
- I'm sorry, son.
352
00:15:57,090 --> 00:15:59,692
You've already washed my car
three times in the last two
353
00:15:59,693 --> 00:16:00,893
weeks.
354
00:16:00,894 --> 00:16:02,127
Why don't you ask Mr. Wilson?
355
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:04,530
- Well, I've washed
his car four times.
356
00:16:04,531 --> 00:16:05,798
- I'm sorry, Dennis.
357
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,634
But Dad, there are
only a few days left.
358
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:10,303
Don't you want to see
me win the contest?
359
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:16,508
- Yes, dear, sure I can be ready.
This is quite a surprise.
360
00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:17,776
All right, I'll see you there.
361
00:16:17,777 --> 00:16:18,777
Bye.
362
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:19,778
- Hey, Mom.
363
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:21,046
- Dennis, I was going
to look for you.
364
00:16:21,047 --> 00:16:22,681
Your father just called
and he's gotten tickets
365
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:23,882
to a show that's in town.
366
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:25,718
So he wants to take
me to dinner tonight.
367
00:16:25,719 --> 00:16:27,519
- You can't go.
368
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,188
- Oh, why not?
369
00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:31,457
- Well, you see,
Mrs. Wilson told me
370
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,759
Mrs. Forsythe
needed a babysitter.
371
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,060
So she called up.
372
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:37,596
But Mrs. Forsythe
said I was too young.
373
00:16:37,597 --> 00:16:40,933
And then I got the idea that if
Mrs. Forsythe brought the baby
374
00:16:40,934 --> 00:16:44,870
over here that you and Dad
could help me babysit with him.
375
00:16:44,871 --> 00:16:47,172
And she said that would be OK.
376
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,907
- Oh, I see.
377
00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:50,142
Couldn't you call Dad up?
378
00:16:50,143 --> 00:16:52,578
- No, Dennis, I'm afraid not.
379
00:16:52,579 --> 00:16:55,314
- Gee, I could just
find some adult.
380
00:16:55,315 --> 00:16:56,482
But who?
381
00:16:56,483 --> 00:16:58,684
- Henry?
Henry?
382
00:16:58,685 --> 00:17:00,020
Anybody home?
383
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:05,290
[baby crying]
384
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:06,792
- Oh, be quiet.
385
00:17:06,793 --> 00:17:08,160
Be quiet.
386
00:17:08,161 --> 00:17:09,595
He bit me.
387
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:11,263
- He hasn't got any teeth.
388
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:14,366
You must of stuck yourself
on one of his pins.
389
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:17,770
- Dennis, turn on the TV set,
maybe there's a western on.
390
00:17:17,771 --> 00:17:19,939
- He's too young to
watch television.
391
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,473
- Oh, well, I thought the
sound of the shooting
392
00:17:21,474 --> 00:17:23,208
would drown out his crying.
393
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:25,444
- Why don't you
sing him a lullaby?
394
00:17:25,445 --> 00:17:26,345
- Me?
395
00:17:26,346 --> 00:17:28,814
- Sure.
396
00:17:28,815 --> 00:17:30,416
- [singing] We are
poor and little
397
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:33,052
lambs who have lost our way.
398
00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:36,388
Baa, baa, baa.
399
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:39,091
He'll never grow up
to be a Yale man.
400
00:17:39,092 --> 00:17:41,260
Maybe he's hungry.
401
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:42,528
- Maybe he needs to--
402
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:44,397
- Let's see if he's hungry first.
403
00:17:51,538 --> 00:17:56,108
And whatever success I've had
as chairman I owe to all of you
404
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:59,211
for the wonderful way you've
been buying the savings stamps.
405
00:17:59,212 --> 00:18:02,247
And I know I can depend
on you junior astronauts
406
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:05,784
to keep on buying them even
after the contest is over.
407
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:07,820
But as you know
it ends tomorrow.
408
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:12,024
And Miss Williams tells me that
we have a tie in our contest.
409
00:18:12,025 --> 00:18:13,792
So I imagine that
after school today,
410
00:18:13,793 --> 00:18:17,363
there'll be two young men
scurrying around town busily
411
00:18:17,364 --> 00:18:20,165
trying to get some last
minute money to win
412
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:22,334
the trip to Cape Canaveral.
413
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:25,037
And I wish both of
them the very best
414
00:18:25,038 --> 00:18:31,677
of luck, Johnny Brady
and Dennis Mitchell.
415
00:18:31,678 --> 00:18:33,045
Dennis?
416
00:18:33,046 --> 00:18:35,614
- Uh, Dennis is
absent this morning.
417
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:38,450
- Oh, oh I hadn't noticed.
418
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:41,520
I wonder what's wrong?
419
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:44,923
- Well, it's just a mild
case of chickenpox.
420
00:18:44,924 --> 00:18:47,726
- Boy, I've got to deliver
circulars for Mr. Ferguson
421
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,228
this afternoon.
422
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,396
- I'm afraid you
won't be delivering
423
00:18:50,397 --> 00:18:51,697
any circulars, young man.
424
00:18:51,698 --> 00:18:52,865
As a matter of
fact, you're staying
425
00:18:52,866 --> 00:18:54,900
in bed for the next
couple of days.
426
00:18:54,901 --> 00:18:56,335
Well, I'll look in
again this evening.
427
00:18:56,336 --> 00:18:57,603
- Thank you, doctor.
428
00:18:57,604 --> 00:19:00,039
- Ah, gee.
429
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,141
- That's a tough break, son.
430
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:05,277
- Mr. Ferguson was
going to pay me $3.00.
431
00:19:05,278 --> 00:19:08,213
Now Johnny Brady is
going to win the contest.
432
00:19:08,214 --> 00:19:09,615
- I know how disappointed
you are, son,
433
00:19:09,616 --> 00:19:11,750
but I want you to know
that your mother and I are
434
00:19:11,751 --> 00:19:13,052
very proud of you.
435
00:19:13,053 --> 00:19:16,422
Well, look at all the
stamps you've bought.
436
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:19,091
You have almost enough
here for a savings bond.
437
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:20,259
And the wonderful
thing is that you
438
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:22,161
earned all the money
for them yourself.
439
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:25,431
- Yeah, but I could have
won the contest too.
440
00:19:25,432 --> 00:19:29,435
- Dennis, sometimes in losing
we win a great deal more than
441
00:19:29,436 --> 00:19:31,470
we realize.
442
00:19:31,471 --> 00:19:33,205
If it hadn't been
for you, Johnny Brady
443
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:36,475
wouldn't have worked as hard
as he did to buy his stamps.
444
00:19:36,476 --> 00:19:38,577
Neither would the other kids.
445
00:19:38,578 --> 00:19:40,579
So you see, you actually
had a great deal
446
00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:45,250
to do with making the savings
stamp drive a big success.
447
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:46,752
The way I look at
it, that's a lot more
448
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:49,188
important than
winning the contest.
449
00:19:49,189 --> 00:19:50,222
Do you understand?
450
00:19:50,223 --> 00:19:50,756
- Yes, sir.
451
00:19:50,757 --> 00:19:51,757
But--
452
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:53,459
- But what, son?
453
00:19:53,460 --> 00:19:55,594
- I sure would have liked to
make that trip to Cape Canaveral
454
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:56,695
to meet one of the astronauts.
455
00:19:56,696 --> 00:20:03,502
- You must be very proud of
456
00:20:03,503 --> 00:20:05,504
He did a magnificent job for us.
457
00:20:05,505 --> 00:20:06,139
- I am.
458
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,276
- Oh, I'm sorry to keep you
waiting, Mr. Sylvester.
459
00:20:11,277 --> 00:20:13,445
I was next door visiting Dennis.
460
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:14,413
- Yes, Mrs. Wilson told me.
461
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:15,414
How is he?
462
00:20:15,415 --> 00:20:16,181
- Not so good.
463
00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:17,816
He's taking it very hard.
464
00:20:17,817 --> 00:20:20,386
He had his heart set on
going to Cape Canaveral
465
00:20:20,387 --> 00:20:22,287
to meet one of the astronauts.
466
00:20:22,288 --> 00:20:24,223
- I'm sorry he didn't win.
467
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:26,425
Oh, I was in Washington
last week, Wilson.
468
00:20:26,426 --> 00:20:28,494
Your contest has made
a big impression.
469
00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:31,230
- Oh well, that's
very nice of you.
470
00:20:31,231 --> 00:20:35,634
But I must tell you Mr.
Sylvester, it wasn't my idea.
471
00:20:35,635 --> 00:20:37,903
Actually I got it from Dennis.
472
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,673
- Yes, I figured that.
473
00:20:40,674 --> 00:20:42,508
- Oh, you did.
474
00:20:42,509 --> 00:20:44,309
You did?
475
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:46,645
- Well, I'll have
to be on my way.
476
00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:48,580
If there's anything
that we can do for you.
477
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:51,450
- Oh, no, you've done
more than enough already.
478
00:20:51,451 --> 00:20:53,819
There's nothing you can do.
479
00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:55,788
Yes, there is.
480
00:20:55,789 --> 00:21:00,159
I just had an idea if you
will cooperate with me on it.
481
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,493
- Why, of course.
482
00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:04,763
- Well now, I thought that
if you as a representative
483
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:05,699
of the Treasury Department--
484
00:21:08,635 --> 00:21:11,203
- Dennis, you'll never get
better if you don't eat.
485
00:21:11,204 --> 00:21:12,404
- Who cares.
486
00:21:12,405 --> 00:21:15,107
The contest is over
and I didn't win it.
487
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:17,076
[knock]
488
00:21:17,077 --> 00:21:18,477
- Hi, Dennis.
489
00:21:18,478 --> 00:21:19,478
How do you feel today?
490
00:21:19,479 --> 00:21:21,513
- Oh, he won't eat anything.
491
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:23,182
- Three days of
lying in this bed,
492
00:21:23,183 --> 00:21:24,917
I don't feel like
doing anything.
493
00:21:24,918 --> 00:21:26,618
- Oh, that's too bad.
494
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:30,122
Then I'll tell Mr. Sylvester
that you don't want to see him.
495
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:31,724
- The treasury man?
496
00:21:31,725 --> 00:21:33,092
- Yes, yes.
497
00:21:33,093 --> 00:21:34,727
He had something
important that he
498
00:21:34,728 --> 00:21:37,429
wanted to talk to
you about but--
499
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:38,964
- That's OK, I'll see him.
500
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:40,899
- Oh, good, good.
501
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,103
Uh, Mr. Sylvester.
- Hi, Dennis.
502
00:21:44,104 --> 00:21:45,471
How do you feel?
503
00:21:45,472 --> 00:21:49,341
- Well, I'd feel a lot better
if I had won that contest.
504
00:21:49,342 --> 00:21:52,145
- I arranged something that may
make you feel a lot better.
505
00:21:58,852 --> 00:22:00,386
In just about one
minute, Dennis,
506
00:22:00,387 --> 00:22:01,754
you're going to get
a visit from someone
507
00:22:01,755 --> 00:22:04,656
who's going to make you
forget all about chicken pox.
508
00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:06,392
- I didn't hear anybody drive up.
509
00:22:06,393 --> 00:22:07,426
- Of course not.
510
00:22:07,427 --> 00:22:10,062
He's going to visit
you on television.
511
00:22:10,063 --> 00:22:11,598
Right about now, I think.
512
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:19,104
- Hi there, Dennis.
513
00:22:19,105 --> 00:22:21,807
I'm Colonel Shorty Powers,
the voice of Mercury Control.
514
00:22:21,808 --> 00:22:24,376
- Colonel Shorty Powers, wow.
515
00:22:24,377 --> 00:22:27,279
- Mr. Sylvester tells me that
you have the chicken pox.
516
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,315
He also tells me that that's why
you didn't win the big savings
517
00:22:30,316 --> 00:22:32,818
stamp contest at your school.
518
00:22:32,819 --> 00:22:35,220
We're pretty busy down here at
the Space Center in Houston,
519
00:22:35,221 --> 00:22:36,722
but I wanted to take
a minute to tell you
520
00:22:36,723 --> 00:22:40,359
that we think that what
you've done is important.
521
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,695
We think that how hard
you've worked to buy savings
522
00:22:42,696 --> 00:22:45,497
stamps is very important,
not only to the space program
523
00:22:45,498 --> 00:22:48,200
but to the whole country
and to our position
524
00:22:48,201 --> 00:22:49,968
with the world of nations.
525
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:52,104
And because you've
worked so hard,
526
00:22:52,105 --> 00:22:55,174
we want to make you a
full fledged astronaut.
527
00:22:55,175 --> 00:22:56,843
Did you give Dennis
the pin, Mr. Sylvester?
528
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:03,148
- Oh boy, a real astronaut pin.
529
00:23:03,149 --> 00:23:05,851
- And Dennis that
pin is a replica
530
00:23:05,852 --> 00:23:08,387
of the Greek symbol for Mercury.
531
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,055
And the astronauts,
the original seven,
532
00:23:10,056 --> 00:23:12,524
all wear one just like
it with a little number
533
00:23:12,525 --> 00:23:15,060
seven superimposed on it.
534
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:19,398
So keep up the good work,
astronaut Dennis Mitchell.
535
00:23:19,399 --> 00:23:20,933
And don't worry about
the chicken pox,
536
00:23:20,934 --> 00:23:22,534
it'll be gone
before you know it.
537
00:23:22,535 --> 00:23:25,938
Bye.
538
00:23:25,939 --> 00:23:27,940
- Well, Dennis,
were you surprised?
539
00:23:27,941 --> 00:23:32,378
- Boy, I'll say, a
real astronaut pin.
540
00:23:32,379 --> 00:23:35,080
- That's right and
it's all yours.
541
00:23:35,081 --> 00:23:37,783
- Oh, boy, Mr. Sylvester,
when I get better
542
00:23:37,784 --> 00:23:40,085
I'm going to keep on
buying saving stamps.
543
00:23:40,086 --> 00:23:42,087
And I know all the other
boys and girls in the country
544
00:23:42,088 --> 00:23:44,390
are going to do the same thing.
545
00:23:44,391 --> 00:23:47,092
- That's the way I like to
hear an astronaut talk.
546
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:48,794
- Thanks, Mr. Sylvester.
547
00:23:48,795 --> 00:23:51,231
Boy, this is better than
winning any old contest.
548
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:57,803
I know you're pretty
busy, Mr. Sylvester,
549
00:23:57,804 --> 00:24:01,774
so if you've got to blast
of now, it's A-OK with me.
550
00:24:01,775 --> 00:24:04,576
- Well, thank you, Dennis.
551
00:24:04,577 --> 00:24:08,781
Excuse me folks, I've
got to blast off now.
552
00:24:08,782 --> 00:24:09,682
- I'll see you out.
553
00:24:09,683 --> 00:24:10,849
- Thank you.
554
00:24:10,850 --> 00:24:12,051
- That was certainly
nice of Mr. Sylvester
555
00:24:12,052 --> 00:24:13,819
to arrange all of this.
556
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:15,654
- Boy, what a day this has been.
557
00:24:15,655 --> 00:24:16,889
Look at it, Dad.
558
00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:19,258
- I just hope he doesn't
get Dennis's chicken pox.
559
00:24:19,259 --> 00:24:21,593
- Don't you worry,
Henry, Mr. Sylvester
560
00:24:21,594 --> 00:24:23,062
has three children of his own.
561
00:24:23,063 --> 00:24:26,498
I'm sure he's had
the chicken pox.
562
00:24:26,499 --> 00:24:28,634
- What's the matter, Mr. Wilson?
563
00:24:28,635 --> 00:24:31,904
- I haven't.
564
00:24:31,905 --> 00:24:33,873
- Oh no, oh no.
565
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:47,320
[theme music]
566
00:25:25,091 --> 00:25:25,191
- This has been a Screen
Gems film production.
