high official Of the Treasury said
that the picture about which the
solons complained, The New Spirit"
was worth 1000 additional tax COL
lectors. Since the two-reeler cost
but $4,000 it was an economical in

Donald Ducks Spirit of '43" is
now circulating on some 10000 mo-

tempted by a zoot-suited spend
thrift to blow his wages In the Idle
Hour Cafe. But the wastrel has
to compete with a canny Scot for
the control of Donalds conscience.
In the end Donald Duck goes the
way of thrift and meets his Treasury
obligation on time. Much of last

repeated, but the net result will be
to forcibly remind some $4,000 900
taxpayers that March Is is coming.

This information has been quietly

Warner Bros. wanted to make the
