Getting Along With The Wrong Crowd

Ranger Bill, Warrior of the Woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the Forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Sometimes young people make mistakes, and one big mistake is that of getting in with the wrong crowd. This is the story of young George Bruce. It's a story of how George made a very serious mistake and was sent away for a while to think about

it. And when he came back to Naughty Pine, the good folk there didn't think they should let George forget that he's been away to reform school. It's also a story of how Ranger Bill tried to help young George make the grade, and then got in the middle of what looked like a double cross. But let's go back a couple of months and look inside

the office of the principal of the Reform School. He's talking to young George Bruce. Now George, you're going back out into the outside world to try to live a normal life again. Yes, sir. You got to try hard, my boy. But it isn't going to be easy. Too many folks What's known about you, and they don't forget?

Yes, I know. You know society is very quick to call for punishment on the heads of those who make mistakes. But sometimes they're slow in offering the help in hand of those who've paid for their mistake.

Well, I'll try my best to make the grades, sir. I don't want to come back here, ever. That's the spirit. I don't want you to come back either. This is one place where I don't extend a return invitation.
