Comments

From Jerry Edwards : Donald is very discouraged due to his lack of success in collecting for the Community Chest charity. A kindly ditchdigger bucks up Donald's spirits by contributing and giving testimony on how the Community Chest had helped him and his family. A "short short" - only about 2 1/2 minutes long, but well animated.

From Ryan : A Donald Duck short made for the Community Chest. Donald is having a lot of trouble collecting for the Community Chest, but gets a donation from a sympathetic ditchdigger. Not really a comedy cartoon, but contains great animation.

I have seen "The Volunteer Worker" and would like to
