Now as howling winds echo across the snow-covered beaches of the Wild Northwest, the Quaker Road Company makers of Quaker Puff Week and Quaker Puff Rice, the delicious cereal shot from gun. In cooperation with the mutual broadcasting system, present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.
It's Yukon King, swiftness and strong asleep dog of the Northwest, breaking a trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest's Founded Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. And gang on your hands! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the Danes of the Gold Rush, and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog,
Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon. Our adventure will begin in just a moment. Is electricity your friend? Yes, in most cases. It can be a bad enemy, though if you direct it through electrical wires which have frayed insulation and can result in costly fires.
Remember, the electricity in your home should be your servant, not your boss. Bot careless wiring will help electricity take over. Check the wires on your electrical appliances, lamp cords, and the other items in your home that have electric wires to make sure that the insulation is in good condition and is capable of preventing short circuits and fires.
Defective wiring isn't the only way a fire can start in your home either. Don't permit rubbish or waste paper to accumulate. Clean out your cellar, attic and closets, and eliminate possible starting places for fires.
Almost a thousand fires daily take place in homes across the country, due in most cases to carelessness. Be sure your home isn't one of them. Check up and clean up. Don't gamble with fire. The odds are against you.
