Transcript

Now as howling winds echo across the snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, the Quaker Oats Company, makers of Quaker Pop Week, and Quaker Pop Rice, the delicious cereal shot from guns. In cooperation with the Mutual Broadcasting System, present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.

It's Yukon King, swift as the strongest lead dog of the North West, breaking the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Mountain Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. And gang on your hands gang.

Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the Gold Rush and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they beat the challenge of the Yukon.

Our adventure will begin in just a moment. What do you want most in the car? Economy pride or personal safety? Well if you're a good driver you can have all three with an automobile in tip-top condition.

A car kept in good running condition is more economical than one that isn't. And needless to say, your personal safety is wrapped up in how well your car responds mechanically. This month we are placing special emphasis on vehicle maintenance, which should be a year round job.

Here are the points that require careful examination. Breaks, headlights, rear and stoplights, tires, wheel alignment, exhaust system and muffler, windshield wipers, all glass, the horn and the rear view mirror. When driving, be sure you can see, steer and stop safely.

It takes two to do this, you and your car. Your life and the lives of your passengers are only as safe as your car. Get a thorough checkup today. This message is brought to you as a public service.
